Sweet video dood.
Kanye makes great visual companions to his tracks; see POWER, or Jesus Walks, or Heard Em' Say, or Diamonds From Sierra Leone, or Heartless, or Good Life, or Stronger, or Love Lockdown.
How bout that mini-movie he made this year?
He's good. And I've already thrown out my praise for this album. So, i'll leave it at that.
But how do you cover a Kanye West piece? Rap is hard enough to cover well, as it is. Throw in Kanye's sick production skills and generally top notch instrumentation, you just about have to copy it or be far different from the original. Well, I suppose if you take the vocals out, a lot can happen.
So, that's exactly what the Portland Cello Orchestra did. It's only natural that the song could make a beautiful instrumental piece, the first minute of the song already is. the PCO adds some nice little twists though, what with the unexpectedly rocking tribal drums and some really beautiful harmonies between the strings. There's even a brief appearance from another famous music figure in there.
"MJ gone. That n**** dead"
