Kanye West Stronger Video(High Quality)

Check out Kanye's latest video...a play on the anime classic 'Akira'. Also, I thought it was interesting that what he's essentially doing is creating the "mashup" before other artists create the mashup of his song (reversing the order of how mashups are typically released). I define this as a mashup, because it takes two unassociated musical genres and molds them into a derivative work. This song was written with Daft Punk (who released the original song sampled in 2001) and might help redefine how music will be created in years to come. G.-
