Here’s a Youtube introduction for Kanye West’s new video “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” the first single (previewed previously with the Takashi Murakami cover art) off of his upcoming album Graduation. The introduction was all self made just last night, just having fun with it… check out those Kaws toys!
This is just the lifestyle that Kanye represents. Through music, fashion and art he is trying to bring the overall movement to the masses. As the year progresses different projects of different mediums will drop to reinforce this creative standard.
