I don't think this video can be classified as anything artistic, but it's a step in the right direction. The themes presented are quite simple and colloquial. The producer attempted to play around with color schemes a bit, but to very little effect. I can't comment much on the music since it wasn't to my tastes. In Starcraft terms, I guess you can say that they tried to imitate a build that the pros do, but due to them being in platinum, they couldn't pull it off. Despite all this, I'm still happy that modern age musicians are looking towards this type of thing. best said here. In a time where Ke"$"ha and Lil' Wayne surround the mainwaves, people just think of something like this as being such an artsy fartsy film. It isn't at all, and it doesn't even really make sense except for the fact that he is trying to explain his life a little better and all the criticisms he goes through. Also, he says that he was trying to use different colors to express meanings in an interview he had, but he never really explained what the colors did.. they are kind of just there. but I love Kanye and his music, so obviously I buy into anything he says and will keep supporting him no matter how crazy the duder gets. | ||

The reason most people like his stuff is because the original songs he 'samples' are great, without them he would be nothing. couldnt get mroe then afew minutes into this, probably because of my already bias opinion. | ||

everything this idiot does irritates me. he tries his hardest to come off as an extraordinary artist, but fails massively. everytime i see him on tv, or hear him on the radio i get a massive migrain. if i were to pick a mainstream artist, it'd have to be lil' wayne over this fag, because his lyrics at least give some stimulation. kanye just spews tons and tons of shitty lyrics at you, its deafening. sorry for the flame;p | ||

All of this is a stupid and useless rhetoric that has little to nothing to do with contemporary music. I'm not going to spin Tupac and Dre on everyday basis, if you do - big props, be a true degenerate and stay like that. Many of Kanyes joints can be classified as pop music, so what? Why does every pissy forum critic has to leave a salty comment how he doesn't rep "real" hip-hop? You know how some people can make a simple speech sound great? They can pick up your piece of shit essay, skim through it while making a few corrections and read it out loud, the way that makes your stomach tingle and covers your skin with goosebumps. Kanye has this talent. He doesn't need to sing about intestines or rhyme like an insane college dropout on meth. His talent is different - his shit just sounds good, he feels it. So enjoy it for what it's worth. | ||

That's like saying you can only be good at one thing and NEVER try, never try to expand yourself. And WTF do you want with lyrics? you want to get your mind blown, or do you want him to lie and say he thinks he's just another average person? If someone told you don't play BW/SC2 you are untalented would you stop? If someone told IdrA you're so predictable/untalented I can beat you whenever would IdrA stop playing? Sure the movie may have not been a top 10 list movie and has some cheesy scenes but does that make it so bad? I wish you people would stop using his ego as an excuse, we all know its big, but that doesn't mean it has anything to do with his musical ability. I don't believe that just because you're not good at something that means you shouldn't do it. The point that matters is that you don't get credit for trying. What i'm saying is that whatever may be true about what he IS good at, and whatever his rights to pursue whatever he wishes to, if he releases anything to the public which sucks as badly as that video does he deserves his criticism. And that there are so many people who are actually impressed by that piece of shit just because Kanye made it, even though that's not something that he's good at, is a plain atrocity. I mean the way people look at the art, products of a secondary or even tertiary field of talent, of revered public figures is akin to the judgement i expect to receive on my own art from my mom. "Oh it's just lovely Kanye! You can do anything you set your mind to!" | ||

And to all those who hate producers like Kanye who sample their beats, many producers do that regardless. All music is notes played in procession at different intervals, tempo, length and velocity. So many songs today are just copies of other riffs or progressions created perhaps decades or centuries ago but just played by a different instrument to make it sound completely diffrent. a C,D,G riff with a heavily distorted electric guitar sounds WAYY different from a soothing Cello but in the end, its the same notes in a diff speed and velocity. It's basically sampling and thats what many producers do. They use something they hear and they change it because they see the potential in that piece of music. Now for autotune, I hate it. But on the other hand, vocoder has potential given time.. But in the end, if you compare voice to guitar, they are both acoustic. Bob Dylan was heavily criticized when he first used an Electric Guitar. A person's voice could be sent through a vocoder and create new sound just as an Electric guitar can create new sound out of the 6 strings. Given time, vocoder has potential to change people's voice. Vocoder =/= Autotune. Vocoder doesn't change the pitch just allows a person's voice to sound electricy or whatever sound you'd like. And so people can hate my 2 favorite rappers excluding Kanye: Lupe Fiasco Big L | ||

I've always been a fan, and like a lot of people I wasn't too happy with 808's but after listening again and again I realized it's actually a great album. Different but still really good. I don't think anyone who's a serious fan of music can count Yeezy out. The new album combines everything great he came up with in all his previous records and the result is really a masterpiece. I mean just look at what the critics say, even though I don't decide on what music to listen to based on critics, it's still interesting to see: Metacritic. I think it's the highest or second highest rated album ever. Pretty great stuff. | ||

Funny enough Kanye samples this song in his new album on 'Lost In The World', proving again that the man knows great music! So yeah the fact that he uses autotune in 808's doesn't matter as long as it's used right, and I think it is. | ||

EDIT: LOL at whitesheep picking Wayne over Kanye If you're talking about never hearing of Daft Punk before Kanye sampled them, then I say your music knowledge was probably very narrow and limited, in which case that's probably the reason. If you're saying you never heard of them until they were sampled for the first time then ok. | ||
