Kanye performs ‘Stronger’ at Grammys.

Read: MTV coverage.

There’s nothing up on Youtube yet, but apparently Daft Punk rocked out in a pyramid with all new gear, but sans the usual lightshow.

So_me the secret to the Good Life.

‘If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em’ must be Kanye’s new maxim — if the video for his new single is anything to go by.

Since his now infamous onstage outburst when Justice scored the award for best video ahead of ‘Touch the Sky’ back in 2006, Kanye has sampled Daft Punk and, most recently, recruited Ed Banger artiste extraordinaire So_me to direct the clip for ‘Good Life’. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, So_me’s talents are undeniable, and the clip would be a surefire award-winner (if ‘D.A.N.C.E.’ hadn’t already been released).

But I guess that’s what Kanye has been going for. It’s hard to not wonder whether his self-professed love for ‘D.A.N.C.E.’ is actually a thinly-veiled love of awards which he thinks he ought to win.

If anything, Kanye’s setting himself up for another surefire loss in the best video category, which will be hilarious to watch.
