Kanye vs Common
Kanye West and frequent collaborator / former mentor Common have both released quirky, animation-led videos in the last week.
West’s is a technicolour marvel, pieced together by postmodern commericial art wunderkind Takashi Murakami. Common’s is almost monochrome, but no less eye-catching, with a grafitti-inspired comic strip feel from Hype Williams protege Lil’ X.
Both are smashing, but Kanye’s is more of a treat for anime geekboys, while Common’s is full of eye candy for da ladeeeeez (it says here).
The question is, which is best? Watch and vote, my lovelies.
