Kanye West - "Stronger" Video

Futuristic robots. Japanese letterings. Helmet-clad scientists. Akira. Daft Punk. Someone hand this man his VMA already.

Review:

The no expense-spared video for "Stronger" depicts Kanye in a strength-enhancement experiment led by in-house scientists Daft Punk. His strength, symbolized here by a newly-chiseled body, is the focal point of the video. Despite all the special effects overkill, this is still a rap video. And what's a rap video without a video model? So, Cassie was tapped to play West's love interest (or shall we say "black Kate Moss") in the clip.

I'll take a black Kate Moss theme over futuristic robots any day.
