It is never, ever, ever too late for Daft Punk.

(who, FYI, will be doing the soundtrack for the new Tron movie)

@92BuickLeSabre: Where is the "Add Kanye to Make the Song Suck" button?

@zenpoet: There is no such button.

The button I believe you are looking for is the "Add Kanye to Make the Song Also Good But In A Slightly Different Way" button. And only the guys from Daft Punk have access to it.

@92BuickLeSabre: @zenpoet: Seriously, get over it. I felt the same way for a long time. Because Daft Punk is one of my favorites ever, and I didn't like 'the masses' knowing about such a great song through such a crappy remake. But then you listen to it a few times and you actually appreciate the collaboration, leaving behind the ignorant thoughts that 'some rapper stole the hook.'

@G-Ram: I know that he didn't steal the hook, as Daft Punk obviously collaborated with them. I have to give all deference to them for having control over their music, and liking him enough to go ahead with the collaboration.

Where I have my opinion, and here is where I am not stating a fact, is that adding the words "isotoner" and "appollonia" to an amazing song did nothing but reduce its quality.

Do I think that every artist hits a home run every time with all of their decisions? No. I think letting Kanye use the song was a misstep, but it doesn't mean that both of them don't have other great songs.

I also thinking letting Busta Rhymes poop on Technologic was bad as well.

"Well little Johnny, it looks like your top speed yesterday was 115. You do know that is unsafe in a Chevette?"

Wait, that probably doesn't have an onboard computer.
