Kanye West is ‘Stronger’ in Akira?
Kanye West shows it’s possible to ruin two pieces of greatness in 4 minutes and 27 seconds. Actually, he pretty much does it in the first 10 seconds. His new single, Stronger (off his upcoming album, Graduation), not only samples Daft Punk’s Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, but has a video that’s basically a mini live action version of the anime classic, Akira.
While the Akira references plus Daft Punk is a win-win combination for me, this song’s not something I’d go crazy over.
