It's our lord and savior Kanye West, what more can I say? This was a collaboration project for the 2007 Hip-Hop album, Graduation, by the highly-acclaimed controversial rapper before he became a "God," and Takashi Murakami, a well respected contemporary artist from Japan. "Good Morning" was the tune that kicked off the album, aided by Murakami's visual insight, the music video became something of an audiovisual tour-guided introduction for all those getting ready to plunge further in. Through the use of cel-shaded animation, Murakami was able to bring the album cover and artwork of Graduation to life, with a visual rhythm and style that complemented theMC's lyrical drawl. It's simply Kanye being honest, delivering his spit-fire braggadocios lyrics and passive-aggressive proclamation as a rap icon, before he took a turn in his career in the later years, where he spiraled down into an endless cycle of narcissism. Sampling Elton John's "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and containing a stripped-down 808s beat, Kanye guides us through a short segment of his life as an anthropomorphic bear while highlighting every bar with his signature wordplay and catchy flow. Hip-Hop purists will surely enjoy the song if they haven't already tried it out. Of course, Kanye isn't the 1st to collaborate with anime creators, Daft Punk's 2001 album, Discovery, was turned into a full-length film collaboration between Toei Animation and Leiji Matsumoto. If you're a fan of Daft Punk, I highly suggest checking that out as well. There's even an alternative music video for Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody that was animated with Japanese partnership. Of course, music is highly subjective, and if you're not a fan of Hip-Hop, this might not register with you, but seeing that it's only 3-minutes in length, I think it's worth giving a listen... also it's Kanye "MUTHAFUCKIN" West, you OWE it to yourself to listen to our LORD and SAVIOR. Praise be to Yeezy!

I'm a little concerned, to say the least, and for that reason, I'm going to ask you a very, very simple question: do you have worms for brains? Personally after experiencing Kanye West's "Good Morning" I have ascended past petty omnipotence, so please join me; wake the fuck up you stupid bitch. I could straight up go against this fucking bear and win barehanded. Originally I had thought " shut the fuck up bitch your life is already ruined" but no I revoke my uneducated opinion. I've grown so much as a person from this masterpiece. Contribute to society? No, fuck you, who's going to stopme? This motherfucker is causing mass destruction everywhere they go, they clearly fucking get it. Wake the fuck up and smell the goddamn fucking coffee why is this bitch so fucking late? How embarrassing, what's going on in that tiny little head of theirs, Uno fucking reverse bitch, guess who graduated. This has awakened something inside of me, I am truly a newborn genius. I have all the answers to the world thanks to the all-powerful Kanye West. Although this has only scored a 1/10 because this motherfucker has more hoes than me, look at that fucking bastard go. God, he's so fucking stupid.

Takashi Murakami, the renowned Japanese Pop Artist forever famous for his ultra-sheik take on fashion and commercialism, launches his career even further with his continuing efforts advancing superflat art like a bear out of a cannon. One of the oddest pairs in recent pop history, I present to you the very strange Kanye West and Takashi Murakami! That's right! The iconic cover to the 2007 double-platinum album sung by rapper Kanye Omari West was designed by Takashi Murakami (also responsible for bringing the current Louis Vuitton branding fashion to the mainstream). The reason this matters is because the video itself is a fleshed out version ofthe cover art. It follows the depicted bear (Kanye) on his graduation day in "Universe City." The visuals are insane. A single image of this looks weird enough, but to bring the art to a constant level is just bizarre. A real flight of fantasy, Good Morning starts on a small scale and the quickly builds up a pace that ends in a nonsensical bang. The contrasting nature of realism in the songs lyrics against the very unreal presentation of the video make for a very fun and smart watch. Notice the small ironies here and there - the bear graduates from "Dropout University" among other things. It's short, wild, nonsensical and yeah it's not J-Pop. So what? It's a three minute romp through the mind of two very different artists. Even if you don't like rap music I encourage this anime. Kanye's Graduation album is very much unlike the rap music of Tupac and 50 Cent that you may be familiar with - it uses a lot of electronic synthesizers and focuses a lot more on introspective topics than "gettin' down wit da bitches in da club" and "rottin me yellow (yuno what it is)." Good Morning might come as a surprise to you like it did for me, and who can resist modernist Japanese art anyways? There's no way you can lose out on this one.

ZAMNN 10/10 First of this shit slaps my balls left and right. Then comes from underneath for an uppercut. *sorry for cursing* but this song is a lyrically subliminally masterpiece, like the line 'good morning' just hits different and the large tittedness of the characters also hits different. And all of this is thanks to Kanye's and Takashi Murakami's excellent representation of the world through the animalistic characters show wearing drip and kanyes bars being spat. In the end animation 7/10 Character design 9/10 Burger 11/10Kanye 21/9+10 (10/10 love this song genuinely a musical masterpiece from the lines spoken by a true god to the superb visual representation of it by Takashi Murakami)

Some of Kanye's best work on a music video. Kanye takes an amazing song and intro to arguably his best album and turns it into a fun and enjoyable video. Graduation is about art and showing different art styles with a common base of Hip-Hop and this video is a great representation of that. Great work Mr. West. I can't stress enough how this video sets the tone for an amazing album and work of art. Sure, the animation is a bit sluggish and that holds the video back, but Kanye's voice and sampling in the song make for a great track. The Jay-Z samplein the background creates a constant activity in the song that makes it alive and moving. The character development is done well in this short video. You can really see the connection the bear and Mr. West have and it represents Kanye well. Overall, the is amazing. The sluggish animation, although a bit annoying, creates a bubble of nostalgia. While the song is an incredible gateway to an incredible album.
