Stronger

This Kanye West song was big last fall, and I dug it every time I heard it. In fact, I had to go buy the album.

My favorite lines:
"You know how long I been on ya,
since Prince was on Appolonia,
since O.J. had Isotoners.
Don't act like I never told ya."

I also like how he rhymes "wronger" with "longer" and "stronger".

Here's the video. I don't get it at all.

Kanye's "Stronger" is built around a sample of a Daft Punk song called "Harder Better Faster Stronger." I don't have a problem with artists who borrow and build on bits of other people's songs. In fact, I think it's a true talent to take a semi-obscure, French song from six years ago and create something interesting and fun out of it.

Here's a wild video of the song made by a Daft Punk fan. It starts out slow, but things start to get crazy around 1:40.
