People keep getting into time machines and ripping off Kanye. Fuck. First he does a hilarious video with Zach Galifianakis and the next thing you know, Fiona Apple’s zipping through the past to make her own.
Then he makes a cutting-edge video that includes a brand new pixelization technique called Roundabout and fucking Chairlift zaps themselves back a few weeks before and puts their’s out.
KANYE WEST “Welcome To Heartbreak” Directed by Nabil from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.
When asked about this constant abuse of his creativity he said, “Lies run sprints but the truth runs marathons” before adding, “The day you catch me using a time machine is the day I give up on truth.”
Thanks NNF
UPDATE: Oh yeah, I forgot what happened with “Good Life.” Within three hours of Kanye putting out his Jonas Francois video, fucking Justice lept in a Time Machine and did their own, far inferior version. Apparently they were mad about him making an ass of himself at the VMAs after Justice had time traveled forward again and beat him at his own game. Can this guy get a fucking break please?

Shit is so lame! He (Kanye) went on and on in some interview about how he had to leak his own video because it uses some new technique, because another band had a video just like it. Well, that shit looks like the video I did in my 7th grade AV class. Complete with green screen and fractal fades. Holy shit! Mind blowingly annoying. I don’t need to see one of Kanye screeching his awful songs, let alone a whole cluster of pixelated, mush mouthed dorks fading into… well more of the same. Maybe if dude didn’t think this video (and everything he does for that matter) was so sick it basically gives everyone who watches it a blowjob, then it wouldn’t be so annoying to see how much it sucked.
And yes… I took AV class. Say something!!!

man fiona apple’s song is terrible.
02.23.09 at 3:10 pm
KANYE DIDNT INVENT THIS SHIT. Takeshi Murata and Ben Hernstrom have been doing this for TWO YEARS.
Nabil, the director of the video, called Kanye and told him about Ghost Town Media and their work on a MGMT video that never went anywhere. The “Electric Feel” video was supposed to use this effect but it got killed by the band.
Kanye is NOT A VFX INNOVATOR. He fucking signed a check and paid for an idea.
Please stop sucking his dick.
02.23.09 at 3:17 pm
He also stole the idea/hired the same exact guys for his “Good Life” video from Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E.”
02.23.09 at 3:22 pm
I thought people who followed this site were supposed to have a hipster degree in sarcasm…idiots
02.23.09 at 3:49 pm
it isn’t that hard to ignore kanye. don’t know why y’all are so mad.
02.23.09 at 3:53 pm
fuck kanye.
02.23.09 at 4:24 pm
i’m dead
02.23.09 at 5:13 pm
soooo “Bowery School” right guys???? right??
fuck richard prince, fuck nate lowman, fuck dan colen, fuck dash snow, fuck jeffrey deitch.
fuck rivington arms. i’m glad you’re dead.
02.23.09 at 5:32 pm
i thought all you had to do to get that effect was like export video while using up all your ram by running a bunch of unrelated programs at the same time or something…???
02.23.09 at 5:40 pm
It looks like video lag on Youtube, what a shitty effect!
02.23.09 at 5:59 pm
I’m pretty sure Zach and Will made that video without Kanye. Kanye made his own video for “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.” Fiona and Zach are probs friends and so she asked him to add dazzle. I’m not mad.
02.23.09 at 6:14 pm
This song would be 10x better if he would have put a ‘Donk’ on it…
02.23.09 at 6:30 pm
Keep on representin tha hood OG!
02.23.09 at 6:38 pm
Reading this Kanye shit is like anal gaping of a hole different stripe, and it ain’t a happy plizzace.
02.23.09 at 6:50 pm
Slapt speaks the troof. Export some video to divx format while running firefox. Effect achieved. This Roundabout crap is to low RAM as the Snuggie is to backwards robes.
02.23.09 at 7:23 pm
is it 1985?
02.23.09 at 7:47 pm
kanye is that kid in high school that tried so hard for people to think he was cool, always a year behind what was actually cool. just ends up looking pathetic and desperate…
02.23.09 at 8:26 pm
u should see kanyes little friend-guy the barber dude…
holy crap have you ever seen a bigger ego on a smaller pile of shit.
if i had any money in the world i would commission beat-downs and robberies on these dudes by girl-gangsters. i would love to see that, get some of those scary blood girls and when theyre not being gang raped in initiation ceremonys they could hand out regular beat-downs and buck-fiftys to kanye west and his whole crew.
i would also pay for common sense and lupe fiasco to get tortured.
fyi: gucci mane is now one of the best people in the workd since it began making people. fact.
02.23.09 at 8:30 pm
fuck that over-rated kanye dingus. i’m gonna google image fiona apple insteadsies..
02.23.09 at 9:20 pm
I remember stealing time machine jokes from this site only to hop in a time machine to go back and crack them three years ago.
02.23.09 at 10:22 pm
I had a time machine but it broke down next week.
they just don’t make things like they’re going to…
02.24.09 at 12:01 am
Why guys hate Kanye so much? Dude’s the next Souljaboy.
Also, Streetcarnage I love you four times more for the CB4 reference in the random name generator i got.
02.24.09 at 1:42 am
but you did rip that fuckobama doll off from me…
02.24.09 at 5:39 am
also, you all sucked his dick coz’ he’s black and good looking. but now, you feel like he should burn for having tricked you into your own shit.
the truth is his music was always as weak and ripped off as justice’s.
02.24.09 at 5:44 am
They all ripped off this guy:

New pixelation technique? Thats exactly what happens when video streaming goes wrong on my computer. Its hideoues lookings. Especially when I’m watching porn.
02.24.09 at 6:58 am
WTF?! you guys are dicks and don’t recognize genius! nobody in music has ever used the “streaming porn weird lag that fucks up my concentration when im jerkin illz” effect in a video before.
Kanye is a hero and an innovator. He invented black people in green sunglasses and driving gloves.
02.24.09 at 8:56 am
^ yes, my point, exactly : sunglasses and driving gloves.
02.24.09 at 10:27 am
i hate to defend Kanye… but in this situation he hired SOME for Good Life. And with the other video the Nabil probably just showed him that video for a reference. The director made it look like Tim & Eric.
02.24.09 at 12:48 pm
uh…gotta echo the other people on here….takeshi murata anyone???
02.24.09 at 1:27 pm
It’s like I’m watching both videos with a 56k connection. Or VLC Media Player. They’re terrible!
02.24.09 at 5:52 pm
You forgot to mention the video for STRONGER which takes every shot from Akira. I guess that one is an “homage” or some shit. Basically the real question is has Kanye ever made a video NOT based on something else?
02.24.09 at 7:25 pm
^ It’s not a random name generator, homie. I made the name. Glad someone got the CB4 reference. So love me 4 times more.
02.24.09 at 7:41 pm
I thought Kayne was a wreslter, N Y WAYS that dude is so fuckin gay he kind of pulled a untrue-rumor Marylin Manson and took out a few of his ribs to suck his own dick and with equal discretion lick his own taint. This is 2000% confirmed by all NASA and CIA sources. He was at that gay ass Bellevue vodka party with that old grafitti guy that draws smiley faces in some marching band jacket like he wasn’t a fatter and way shittier (and darker) michael jackson sans dancing ability and singing ability.
HEY GUYS next time you see Kanye tell him he’s a douche penis wrinkle and he’s just bitter he never graduated college. The last good song he ever did was Kanye’s Workout Plan and since then he’s been steadily putting a clown’s penis deeper down his throat.
02.24.09 at 8:24 pm
oh yeah Chairlift girl is awesome. Kanye 69s with 50 Cent all the time in full makeup.
02.24.09 at 8:27 pm
that chairlift junk is dumb. also its a dumb effect. i invented that shit the first time i downloaded a corrupt AVI of Blade Runner back in like ‘99 – you all are too old to know anything about that shit, of course. so here you are all making a fuss and gettin in tizzy about this poo.
02.25.09 at 4:38 am
old.
02.25.09 at 4:39 am
“Where did I go wrong?”
You were a fucking egomaniac who realized that fact, knew you didn’t like that aspect of your personality, wrote songs about and you did absolutely nothing to correct it. If Kanye ever has a child, I hope it kills him.
02.26.09 at 3:29 am
the truth?
1. Kanye is a dick and always has, so lets get over that.
2. The director slightly bit Takeshi style… but if he are giving seminars and posting instructions on a technique, Takeshi has absolutely no recourse. He should be HAPPY he is contributing to something.
3.Otherwise, tell that shaggy fuck and his tard-banged woman to move out of the fucking boondocks and do some commercial work -OR- put to a patent on his gay “data-moshing” gimmick-technique and shut the fuck up.
peacey-weas.
