The Difference Between a Smart Parody and a Dumb Copy That Adds Nothing to the Appreciation of the Original

This is hilarious and insightful and clever -



And this is the lame version that the Kanyedashians just made to promote Kanye West's mediocre new album, the blasphemously entitled "Yeezus." Just one more reason to hate those people. I used to love Kanye but I've grown tired of his antics, especially now that the music isn't that great. I can put up with a lot if the music's great. See: Michael Jackson. I'd check out "On Site," song #1 that sets the listener up to think it's going to be a great album, but it just goes down hill from there, until the final song, "Bound 2," a soul throwback to his early work. Sounds like it'd fit right in on the College Dropout, but feels out of place on Yeezus. And plus the album name is not clever at all. Totally bored by it and him in general. And Jay-Z is now releasing, cough cough, um, "Magna Carta Holy Grail." Seriously, Kanye and Jay-Z can go f#$k themselves.
