Fame Kills: Kanye x Lady Gaga

Here is the promo/teaser video for Kanye West & Lady Gaga’s joint-concert tour com­ing this Fall: Fame Kills.

I was orig­i­nally plan­ning to go see it in Vegas dur­ing Pac­man vs. Cotto week­end, but prob­a­bly would see it locally (San Jose maybe). I fig­ure it might just be too much stuff going on that week­end in Vegas. And yes, you might be say­ing: “but what about the whole Team Tay­lor > Kanye / VMA deba­cle, etc., etc.?” Yah, kind of a bad move.

Not the thing to do at the time. Hon­esty > Tact, maybe? But as Alexan­der Pope would put it, “to err is human, to for­give divine.” And yes, there are far more things going on around the World that most peo­ple should be aware of (myself included): Iran Elec­tion, Dar­fur, Global Warm­ing, …

Any­ways, one thing that I have to be truth­ful and give props to is that his Glow In The Dark Tour (w/ Lupe Fiasco, Rihanna, and N.E.R.D.) was sick! Not to men­tion, like it or not, you can’t deny that the Music he pro­duces is unique and mem­o­rable to the masses.

I’m dig­ging the use of color and roto­scop­ing1.

Kanye West — “Good Morning” Music Video

Sick. I like the Back to the Future/DeLorean scene. Not to men­tion, the char­ac­ter designs by Takashi Murakami.
