Kanye Channeling His "Inner Andy Warhol"

Kanyezzee has done it once again, and channeled his inner "artist,"[said with a french accent]. In this case scenario it happened to be none other than Mister Andy Warhol. Andy was a major figure of the pop art movement, and was well known for creating ink images with slight color changes.

Kanye's recently dropped video "Heartless" features some pop art itself with slight color changes, and according to his blog it was based on the 1981 American Pop movie. Check it out for yourself.

You might recognize some resemblance to the work of Mister Warhol....



But honestly, this is not the first time that Kanye has managed to take a style and make it his own. It was done before in his "Good Life" video that was surprising reminiscent to Justice's "D.A.N.C.E." video. And I sure this won't be the last time.

But here at Writer's Block, we'll pay homage to the master Andy Warhol.

The master, the originator, the creater of this style...himself.
