Kanye West is an easy guy to hate.
Despite the great music and crafting possibly the best hip-hop album of last year in GRADUATION he's still an annoying and arrogant prick. You can argue all you like about it being justified but that doesn't erase the fact that the personality that he presents in public, despite his signficant and considerable talent, is still very much that of an asshole.
But you've got to give it to the guy when it comes to self-promotion. And if you didn't hear about his Listening Party for GRADUATION before it dropped, the word is if you weren't there...well, then you missed out. In addition to doing the customary "party to my all-new music" thing, West set his songs to a few classic works of science fiction and anime, creating a listening "experience" that has now been leaked to the 'net. As you will witness below, the marriage was marvelous.
Enjoy.
