Nah. See the thing is Doom just PRETENDS to be a super villain.

Nah man, any performing artist who pays impersonators to lip-sync his live show is actually a super villain. He's an awesome super villain, but a villain none the less.

So many goons think that Art is an inherently Good pejorative, it's really bizarre. Art is subjective with levels of good/bad which depend partly on the performer and partly on the listener; I believe Kanye succeeds in Runaway in many parts (mostly audiovisual) while also failing in some places (wooden acting, occaisional ham-handedness). It's certainly a work of art, partly because the visuals are enough to elicit an emotional response. I'd say it's a success and I'm glad that Kanye has managed to make a longer/better music video than Lady Gaga.

edit: honestly, if I had the time right now, I think making a nmd thread on what constitutes Art is would be a really good thing. If it's not done by tomorrow I might make one.

Art is any music I like, but not ironically. For instance, early Modest Mouse, Pedro the Lion, and even Aphex Twin and Daft Punk who Kanye so shamelessly ripped off. Also Radiohead. Especially Radiohead. It's important to note that if it's popular it's not art (except Radiohead). Why? Because if it were art then you sheeple wouldn't get it. My roommate, Dave, agrees.

"Not art" are bands I like ironically such as Boston and Molly Hatchet. Maybe even WASP.

Kanye is worse than those. He's (c)rap.

Oh, a troll, alright.
