Kanye & Lady Gaga...Artsy or Fartsy?


Shot by renowned photographer Dave LaChapelle to promote the tour they eventually canceled, I assume this shoot is supposed to be “edgy” and “shocking”, and sexy even but... It’s not that they don’t look good, but really if you take away all the hoopla in the background and the body tape, it’s just Kanye in khaki’s featuring a naked lady gaga. The media made a big deal about it and well, I’m not impressed, are you?

i actually didn't love this shoot either. i like the gaga solo pic - it's expected, racy, and typical gaga. but the pic with kanye makes him look like a construction worker who just picked up a stripper. but hey, could be just me...(and you)

absolutely not impressed. It is rather pedestrian actually. I think that the photograph is bullshit and hiding behind the "art" label. The absolute mad worstest.

I mean, I guess they're TRYING. But you can't FAKE substance. Either you have it...or you don't.

@AntiPop - Thank you for clarifying that I wasn't completely out of my mind.

@FLIX- LMAO @ "Pedestrian" - but yes, MAD More worstest. smh

@NDesert- I concur 100%. it's there or it isn't.

Honestly other than Kanye's music... I feel that this shoot pretty much sums up who he is. Wack. He is not an icon by any means. Spending too much money does NOT make you fashionable.

Hold up Flix! I love his music & I wouldn't call Kanye an icon yet either, but he does have a sense style. Sure he reps Louis a lil too hard, but he rocks it well. He's not an overly obsessed lable wear-er like two thirds of these other rappers.

Yeah, he really is label obsessed. Since he came out he has been quite the label whore. I am not much different but the difference is, that because he is "Kanye" he is able to get away with wearing that ridiculous mullet-hawk thing that he had, and all the wild and crazy things that he wears are acceptable. The fact is, Kanye tries all types of Fu@kery in the name of being Avant-garde and innovative. It's very rare to see him look impressive. His LV shoes are not popping, matter of fact... send me a pic where he is fly in somthing that is not immediately recognizable as a major label. He has never gotten fresh like Puff. I love you babe and you are definitely one of the dopest fashionistas I know but I can't give Kanye a pass even if you're vouching.
