"bonjour bro, can you hook me up with Daft Punk?"

You saw it coming didn't you.

Remember back in last year when Kanye West intereupted an award presentation at the MTV Europe Music Awards to complain bout how his "Touch the Sky" MV should have won best video instead of Justice VS Simian's "We Are Your Friends?"

well here it is to refresh your memory


and here's the video the whopped "Touch the Sky," real classic

And so, Kanye seems to have done some research on his rivals coz I just heard his latest single from his 2oo7 "Graduation" album thats scheduled to drop during end of August. You guessed it, theres a real unfortunate sample to it.

Kanye West - Stronger
Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (right click, save target to download)

My opinion..."Stronger" is mediocre at best (please pardon the oxymoron). Daft Punk's french electro sound definately don't go well with Kanye's style of hip hop. Thomas Bangalter must be fuming mad. However, another song from "Graduation" seems quite promising, "Bittersweet" features John Mayer and it's probably Dave Chapelle who hooked them up. Peep this very interesting studio interview.

Ha, I sure recognize some Dave Chapelle's style of humour in it. And if you've realise, Kanye seems really soft spoken in the interview which is totally different the way he act when he interupted the award presentation. Anyways here's a few remixes for "We are Your Friends" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger."

Justice Vs Simian - We Are Your Friends (Radio Slave And Spencer Parker Re-Edit)
Justice Vs Simian - We Are Your Friends (Lee Cabrera's Lower East Side Remix)
Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger (Pharell William's Neptunes Mix)

Thats all for today folks, I'm going over to James Zabiela and Nic Fancuili's gig at MOS now.

Enjoy the weekends.
