VIDEO: KANYE WEST - STRONGER
Wednesday, June 27, 2007
Kanye West debuted his highly anticipated single from his new album Graduation on MTV yesterday.
“Stronger,” which samples from one of my favorite Daft Punk songs, is pretty interesting. I’m sure that Kanye thinks that this will garner him some type of award next year. Cassie’s in the video as well, doing what she does best, looking nice.

Loved it! But Cassie kind of messed it up for me. He should have picked another chick.

@4: Glad someone said it, when he’s producing his own records why does he always have to completely steal another song? I’m not against samples when they’re used creatively and I’ve heard Kanye do so before on plenty of other artists tracks he’s produced on but on his own all he seems to do is bite other people’s songs. Damn, he may as well go the full nine yards and cover the song itself…
Don’t get me wrong I like him but he really needs to rethink his productions for himself and stop being lazy. I like anyone who’s creative with their videos though (i.e. recently Ciara) and this one is hot. I like Cassie and her appearance here despite what everyone else says…

Love this dude!
He goes all out even when he keeps it simple. Even though he is annoying as hell - he is very talented. Samplin Daft Punk is pure Genius - Hip Hop needs this dude!
Ye, Common, Mos Def, Talib, Lupe - they all get my props 100x’s!
Go look! Can’t wait to graduate!

@ #4 & #8
If peeps like what he is doing why would he change his formula? I really like it b/c it blends the old with the new! Makes it more relateable - as long as I ain’t gotta put it with “This is Why Um Hot” and “Ay Bay Bay” - I AM GOOD!

hot vid! and luvin the retro glasses
cassie looked very pretty in the vid but i didn’t understand why she was there. they should’ve made it clearer. plus if they were gonna make an asian themed vid, why isn’t the girl in the vid asian? that’s like a white guy making a video in africa or with an african theme but only showing mixed and/or white girls haha

I love Daft Punk, hate this Kanye song though. The video is creative but there was something lacking. I’m just not feeling Kanye right now…but the best of luck to him.

The video itself is influenced by the Japanese animated movie, 1988’s Akira. I must admit, the imagery and music, and of course Cassie made the video and the song just a bit hotter…

@Silly Chilly
It is def a trademark of his and it is working so far. I know that I am always like damn I wonder who shit he gonna sample next and when I buy his CD I can’t wait to see what old old skool shit he has come up with. I just think the dude is innovative - take something old and put a new spin on it…I like it. Then he takes shit that no other artist would touch! I love it.

I also was getting the Akira vibe from it. I wasn’t 100% sure though. I haven’t seen that movie in years. The song and the video is hot though. I was really feeling it.

That video did NOTHING for me. Different doesn’t always equal to dope, but to each his own. The song doesn’t cut it either, although I actually like Daft Punk a lot. This is just wack son, just wack. And the “exploding man” thing reminded me of HEROES.

the video is pretty cool but im not feelin the song at all. I think die hard Kanye fan will eat his shit up no matter what. It sounds like a movie soundtrack or a commercial to me. Not very creative at all.

I LOVED IT!!!
NOT ONLY IS THIS MY SONG, BUT THE VIDEO MADE IT EVEN DOPER 4 ME.
AND I AM USUALLY SOOO ANTI-CASSIE (CUZ SHE SHARES MY NAME & SHE CAN’T SING) BUT I AM REALLY FEELIN’ HER IN THIS. SHE ALREADY HAS THE ASIAN/FILIPINO IN HER, SO THE LOOK MATCHED THE CONTENT.
AND I WILL 4EVA BE A FAN OF KANYE’S, I DONT CARE HOW CONCEITED HE GETS CUZ THIS DUDE IS TALENTED.
LOVED COLLEGE DROPOUT, LOVED LOVED LATE REGISTRATION… SO U BEST BELIEVE I’MMA BE ALL UP ON “GRADUATION”S CROTCH LOL (IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE AT ALL ;o)

Kanye will definitely want to get recognized for that kinetic foolishness but I’m not impressed.
His sunglasses are fly though and look like something CL’s Brian would rock.
