Animated Music Videos

I been browsing looking at videos and recently stumbled across the new Kanye, Common and Gnarls. They happen to have graphics, illustration, and animation. I love art. It's dope to see this. All 3 artist have albums coming out in the next 2 weeks. Hear Kanyes pain, Gnarls soul, and Commons metaphors.

Common-Universal Mind Control is a dope video. I draw robots and clowns. I am on the robot tip. His video is some Robot Funk.


Kanye's Heartless video is well on point on it's designs. The movements, body language and feeling. You hear pain and see stress. It's dope as well Mr Hype Williams video legend and movie maker.

Gnarls Barkley Mystery Man is funny. It goes well with the song. Cee-lo's voice and Danger Mouse notes is a dynamic force of creativity. The animation and story telling makes it great.

Kaws Does Kanye Album Art


Kanye West is an artist in every sense of the word. He’s talented, cocky, insecure, and brilliant. This unique fusion can often times cause confusion and a wave of cynicism towards the man’s naturally born talents. After a successful third album to seal the deal of his school themed trio audio journey, it looks as if Mr. West is all grown up now as he embarks on a new terrain of experimental sounds that reminds me at least of how house music sounded like back in the early ’90s. Kanye practically sings in every track, granted his voice is filtered to resemble T-Pain; the man however has a unique vision. Kanye is in a place that is the envy of many artists, he has the ability to recreate himself over and over again and he has the loyal fan base that equally expects him to shape shift and transform. His new album, “808s & Hearbreak” is set to release late November. Of course out goes his flashy Jeremy Scott frames and his loud patent lanvin kicks and in is his subdued tieless door-to-door salesman attire capped with his fabric broken heart mended over his, well, heart. His album art was commissioned by Kaws, another artist who’s subtle commentary on consumerism and capitalism stands on an unsteady platform not yet quite defined as Kaws himself is thriving in wealth and fame from consumers of his work who appreciate his critique. But then again, I suppose this is what art is all about in the end, no?

Kanye West Invites 40 Naked Ladies for Launch Party.Publicity Stunt?



Kanye West caused a stir at the launch party of his eagerly anticipated album '808s and Heartbreak' by inviting 40 naked women to attend. The rapper unveiled the album - due to be released in November at a lavish bash at Los Angeles' Ace Gallery, but guests were stunned to find the room full of nude women wearing masks.

"After waiting in an area with an open bar and a DJ, we walked up a driveway illuminated by fluorescent lights to a darkened room where we saw 40 nude women. Most of them were wearing strange masks made of wool," the Sun quoted a source, as saying. "They stood in the middle of the room - black girls at the front and white girls at the back. Then the entire album played without any introduction or explanation," the source added.

West insists the women were part of an arranged art show he masterminded with Italian artist Vanessa Beecroft.

"Here is the 3 song to drop from Kanye's upcoming album 808s and Heartbreak. Pardon the quality it's a radio rip..."
