Kanye and Daft Punk (??!)

by Angele Larroque

Kanye West - Stronger

I guess this day was bound to come sooner or later…Kanye West trying to steal some of the legendary greatness that is Daft Punk. This new video for West’s new single Stronger features a slowed down sample of the classic song from the world’s greatest electro duo. The video steals the Daft Punk aesthetic as well, just in a poorly executed way. Sure, it does feature two robots (who I guess are supposed to be Daft Punk?) but it is a far far way from the innovative visual spectacles that are real Daft Punk videos. Flashing Japanese script, dressing up Cassie like a geisha and having Kanye wear “avant garde” sunglasses do not make a video creative. I’m sorry, but Hype Williams is no Michel Gondry.
