Kanye (joke) Daft Punk (not)

Inspired by Bumpsdick over at Missingtoof...

So, how does most of America feel about Kanye West? I think most of us have seen Oprah's show, making him out to be this humble, sensitive, compassionate rapper. But you know what..I really am not feeling him at the moment. I mean, lets face it, everyone is talking about how cool it is that he's sampled Daft Punk, and included them in his video. I disagree. Daft Punk was doing just fine without him. Even people who don't know who Daft Punk is, can recognize most of their hits. And frankly, we've seen the video and heard the tune, and it truly amazes me that a guy like Kanye can get to a point in his career, where, all he has to do is slow down someone else's tune and rap over it. Compare (thanks Toof)..

Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger
Kanye West - Stronger


Now, I am all about sampling. It's an essential backbone of modern electronic music. However, taking an entire tune...well. You can judge for yourself.

Now, as far as class? No, Kanye, I'm sorry. Need I remind all our readers of the ego driven, poor looser at last year's MTV Europe awards, when Kanye lost best video to little known Justice? See it below. And, wow was the director, and Ed Banger wonderboy So Me graceful amidst Kanye's insults. Funny, what a sore looser dick.




On a totally unrelated note... This is why Stevie wonder was such a bad ass. Something Kanye could only wish to be.
