Kanye Omari West or Yeezy or Ye or that crazy guy that makes really good RnB sometimes made an anime what more is there to say? a lot actually you see some people will just look at this at the surface level and pass it off as a decent to good music video to a rather self centered song but i believe everything is better in light of the context that surrounds it and this is no exception CONTEXT The album was released during Kanye and 50s battle to see who would sell more but this battle of the Super Saiyans was also a battle to see which brand of rap was going to continue Gangster rap that 50 Curtis James Jackson III had built his entire career and an entire rap generation upon or Kanyes more personal and every mans type of songs. Review Seeing as this is a music video we cannot review the visuals without addressing the music too so thats what ill be doing The song isnt the best in the album that its in but lyrically it does tell a very interesting story of a Kanye that suffers from low grades and having his heads in the cloud while in school but eventually proving everyone who doubted him wrong with his massive success in the music industry but this story does not reflect what we know of Mr.Wests actual educational background seeing as he was a rather good student and even went to American Academy of Art in Chicago on a scholarship according to some sources.This contradiction of life from fiction however cannot be taken as a negative given that this is a rap video and is an interesting contrast to what other rappers at the time and even today talk about when they discuss their childhood or earlier life before their success while others would talk about their drug dealing adventures and even killing of another person even if not true in an attempt to give themselves more reputation among their peers as being more gangster Kanye is not afraid to open up the fact that he had insecurities about his grades in education but then turning it around by saying the reason was because he was too busy looking at a womans behind. Again I would like to say that the lyrics are rather open and even vulnerable for someone in his position being someone who is going head to head a gangster rappersomeone involved with rap and someone as successful as he is its rather brave given his positionbut that dosent save the song from being rather repetitive in its chorus and simplistic in the second half while the first half of the song talks about himself he starts giving general advice and even bragging about his wealth over a graduate he also is rather anti college but this isnt something that is new but alas this is his third album lambasting the educational system for being too for profit rather than the future success of their students. Now lets talk about the Video itself or the reason why its even on this site Takashi Murakami directed this music video and this is interesting because Murakamisensei is a very prolific figure in the world wide contemporary art movement and is the leader of the super flat moment which in recent years has really been picking up support the art style can be described as colorful and flat from which the art style gets its name from but more than that Superflat is an exaggeration of the post world war 2 art culture that certain aspects of Japanese art has adopted like in manga and anime whats the difference then? well super flat can be see more as an outsider looking into the anime industry and cherry picking aspects such as the flat shading and bright colors and disposing of rigid anime art styles and sensibilities getting rid of mid tones and anything remotely drab This description alone does not give the art style justice but its enough context for the review. Murakami uses his distinct art style to lend the video a bright and even childish tone in contrast to the dark and grimy look that other rappers went for. the animation is nothing special but isnt of poor quality it is just rather mediocre.
