Kanye West is plain determined to tap into the Barney market, with yet some other music video that seems to be aimed at the sestet and under crowd.
The rapper follows up his puppet-driven "Champion" vid with this new animated one for the song "Good Morning," debuting today on iTunes. In it, Kanye is depicted as a little teddy bear who wakes up late on graduation exercise day but, despite a few obstacles, still manages to do it in time to accept his diploma.
Yes, the creativity in both these cases is admirable, especially this a la mode effort, which was directed by Takashi Murakami, the Japanese creative person who brings to life the cover art he did for Kanye's Graduation album. It all scarcely makes us a small nervous, though.
After all, it's OK for hip-hop stars to show their softer side, just it commode also be taken a bit overly far. Just ask Ice (Are We Done Yet?) Cube.
