Daft Punk + Kanye West
jhocking:
While looking at something else on youtube, I found this:

The song was an odd remix of Kanye West singing over "Stronger Better Faster Harder." There was a point in the middle of the video which startled me, where it makes a pretty direct homage to the old anime movie Akira.
I guess I'm just interested what people's opinions of this song/video are: interesting mashup of anime and rap, or just an incoherent pile of pop culture stuff?
McTaggart:
I haven't watched the video but by the title of the youtube page it looks like it aint no remix. It's a track off Kanye's new (upcoming?) album. Are you sure it's an Akira reference or a reference to Interstella 5555, essentially an anime that was made using Daft Punk's Discovery album as the soundtrack.
For the record, I pretty much love that track.
jhocking:
Definitely an Akira reference. In the video, they recreate the scene of Tetsuo coming out of his hospital room and wasting a squad of gasmask-wearing soldiers. It's not the only Akira reference, it's just the first where I made the connection. The entire video is a pretty clear homage to Akira really; the motorcycles leave light trails just like Akira, the medical machinery looks just like in Akira, etc. I have both Akira and Interstella on DVD, trust me it's pretty clear.

I felt like discussing this, but if I posted to I Like Fish it would just be moved here anyway.

That's one of the tracks on his album Graduation. I love the energy in it; good music to accompany you in a run. I'm surprised the sample wasn't tweaked more, but that isn't a problem or anything. This song has been getting a crazy amount of air time on the radio.
a pack of wolves:
This could have been really good, his voice works with the track, but his lyrics are so weak the whole thing's shot to shit.
