Awesome Kanye West

(PG-13: Language) After reworking the music of Eminem, remix artist William Maranci is back with another wild mashup. This time, he replaced the instrumental parts of Kanye West’s track Power with music from dozens of different artists, from Linkin Park to Radiohead to Tame Impala.

On The Howard Stern Show, Dana Carvey did a bit from his new Netflix special, Straight White Male, 60, in which he envisions a conversation between Paul McCartney and John Lennon where Paul tries to explain Kanye West. His micro-impressions are amusing too.

Like a Version presents an unexpected, but phenomenal cover version of Kanye West’s opus about faith, performed by Australian indie pop group Cub Sport, fronted by the smooth and dreamy vocals of Tim Nelson.

Kanye West has built up a repertoire of hoots and hollers to get the people going. We miss the Uhh Kanye, the Laaa la la la Kanye, not banshee-tune Kanye, or angry HAH?! Kanye. The auntie team Kanye, not the god dream Kanye, but we’ll let Kanye be Kanye.

(PG-13: Language) “I’m 50% more influential than MC Hammer, Apostle Judas Iscariot, the Kia Sorrento…” Fans have petitioned that Ryan Reynolds host Saturday Night Live as Deadpool. Ryan says no thanks by mocking Kanye’s delusional SNL rant.

Producer ToToM combined Kanye West’s rhymes with Queens of the Stone Age’s riffs. If you love Yeezus you’ll probably dig this bizarre mashup as well. You can download the album for free, but ToToM will also donate any proceeds to charity.

(NSFW: Language) Forget about throwing diamonds in the sky. Kanye’s on his flamethrower game. All Day serves as a warning that he’s still Yeezus. But this time instead of using Auto-tune and drums he’s just rapping his heart out.

Kanye West’s single is an auto-tuned ballad featuring Sir Paul McCartney on keyboard. Apparently, it’s a song for Kanye’s daughter North, but from the perspective of his late mother Donda. More here and here.

(NSFW: Language) “I AM A CLAUS.” Local Business Comedy covered Kanye West’s entire Yeezus album, putting a Christmas spin on it. Listen closely because they’re about to drop a lot of jokes on your chimney. Also on YouTube.

Dave Chappelle dropped by The Tonight Show to promote his upcoming shows at Radio City. While he was there, he recounted how he met a few musicians. At around 4:05, he proves that Yeezy has always had Kanye-fidence. Also, yes, it’s real.

Try walking in Yeezus’ shoes with USA Today’s Kanye West Self-Confidence Generator, which has hilarious quotes from the narcissistic superstar. But remember: he’s not turned up 100% of the time, and you shouldn’t be either.

(NSFW: Language) After a brief comparison of apples and oranges, comedian Ronny Chieng takes on the misogynistic lyrics in Kanye West’s ridiculous Bound 2 which somehow manage to get him in hot water with his girlfriend.

(NSFW: Language, Gross) Seth Rogen and James Franco did a shot for shot remake of Kanye West’s intentionally(?) generic and cheesy music video for his single Bound 2. You can see both videos side-by-side here. Jesus wept.

For two years, Marina Shifrin worked for a boss who valued quantity over quality. Instead of handing in her resignation letter, she created a video, which will probably get more views than anything she worked on at her old job.

(NSFW: Lyrics) David Fuenz was sitting on a train from Stockholm to Copenhagen with nothing better to do, so he used the time to illustrate the lyrics to Kanye West’s latest single in his Moleskine journal. (Thanks Daniel!)

Let’s do a word association. We’ll say the name of a popular hip hop artist and you tell us the first director that comes to mind. Kanye West. Did you say Wes Anderson? Of course you did. Check out their tumblr lovechild now.

(NSFW: Lyrics) DIY geek Ch00f took a pair of the slatted sunglasses Kanye made famous, and rigged them with EL wires, and a circuit which reacts to music. The slight delay is only the video encode.

Tyler McAbee was going to shoot a home video welcoming his newborn niece, Ella into the world. Instead, he created this brilliantly updated version of Kanye and Jay-Z’s Gotta Have It.

More proof that everything is a remix. Sampling is a core aspect of hip-hop, and we think it’s Kanye’s greatest strength. Here are the songs he sampled as compiled by YouTuber lupEND88.

This funny infographic of things floating around in Kanye West’s head only goes to our theory that even after peeling back the layers, we still have no idea what he’s trying to say. (Thanks Gisel!)

A cover of Kanye West’s All of the Lights by The Portland Cello Project. We would have had goosebumps if we heard this live. At the very least it’s a version without Fergie’s lame-ass rap.

(Language NSFW) The video for Kanye West’s single Monster leaked just recently, but it’s already been parodied. Watch Kermy West, Faw-Z, Rizz Rat, Von Count and Piggy Minaj do their thing.

Andrew Huang usually makes silly songs on request – welcome to the Internet – but this time he goes pro. Not only did he cover Kanye West’s Dark Fantasy, he also made some new lyrics.
