There’s a laundry list of adjectives one could use to describe Kanye West. But somewhere at the top of everyone’s list is creative. This video is for the opening track to Kanye’s Graduation album, and it features an animated incarnation of his infamous mascot, Dropout Bear as he overcomes adversities to get to his own graduation. After hearing Kanye’s life through his albums, this animated clip appears more autobiographical than just a short metaphorical story of his journey to the Graduation album. Kanye is set apart in the rap game by his audacity to be different, and this clip shows his ability to excel far beyond his competition, lyrically, and imaginatively. And besides, you can’t help but love Mr. West!!
