Are Kanye West & Hype Williams the greatest artist/director combo ever?

The Jetsons thing was taken from paintings Kanye has in his acutall house. I forget the artist name but her are some pics of the real thing: http://www.weyowzers.com/2007/09/pics-of-kanyes-new-la-crib.html

Cartoon Effects? – Rotoscoping. It ain’t new and doesn’t look special.
Cigarete?? The dude doesn’t even smoke, but they just added that in to make it look cool? Far from genius. Wait, does he smoke??
I applaud his efforts all the way, but just because a particular kind of video was never really done in hip hop, does not make it innovative, or genius.
The video for love lockdown had a far better treatment, and was probably well thought out.
Or am I just hating to hate?

“Heartless” is crazy video!! I prefer Ye’s creative side over his “I even got gangsta’s wearing tight jeans” or his “Go Hard” side… Even “Through The Wire” was Genius!! Cant have both..

Uhh… VEe!, it’s not rotoscoping. It really is hand-drawn

Let me just answer your question and say.
HI VEe!,
nobody said the effects were speacial or
new.. he was just describing an aspect that he particularly enjoyed..
and just because u identify something
as being diverse.. doesn’t mean it is
or isn’t genius..
and as far as the cigarette..
mabey that’s the side she brought out
of him “..that i don’t know…”
ya know?

^Butch, rotoscoping is hand drawn, usually over live shots.
^CantExplainWhyourLuvMakesMe,
I hear you, the straight flat colors just don’t do it for me.
In the end I would expect something tighter from Hype + Kanye.
