Total BFFs Takashi Murakami (artist, designer and media darling) and Kanye West (rapper, phat beat layer downer and friend of Japanator) are at it again. After teaming up to release a line of bling, the duo have come together once again to collaborate on a new West video.
"Good Morning" (seen above until the powers that be remove it, because who wants to actually see a video, amirght?) follows the trials and tribulations of the Kanye bear guy as he makes his way to a graduation ceremony. On the way to getting his "Bachelor of Hip-Hop Music" degree, he zips his way through Murakami's technicolor world full of dancing mushrooms and crazy football teams.
Personally, I find the CG animation a bit of a turn off, but then again, the really crappy YouTube quality probably hides the true Murakami majesty. I'm sure a Blu-Ray disc copy that found its way to my house would get a much more awesome review.
[UPDATE: Changed the video and added some screenshots]

Actually, I was disappointed in Murakami's part, but pleasantly surprised by Kenye West's part.
I'm totally grossed out that the louver shades are coming back, but I bet most of you guys weren't even born in the '80s, let alone remember that kind of crap. God, I feel old…
I thought it was pretty dope! At least from a marketing standpoint. If you notice the video is based on the entire cd jacket. So subliminally ( if I even spelled that right) Ye had us prime from the start. Murakami is just killing ish right now, what a great duo. Like you, when I saw the video I immediately linked it as a post on our site.
Certainly a cute video, but eh on the Kanye West.
I appreciate this appreciation for Daft Punk and cool animation, but I'm not a huge fan of his music.
my 08 heartbreak
so sad to see you go...
love kanye, but wat is he gonna do now that he graduated?
That is a really useful and informative guide. I’m going to try and keep a copy in my bag until i get used to what to watch out for.
