Damn you, Kanye, I'm impressed!

I've always refused to like Kanye. He's such an arrogant blowhard that I find it hard to look past the stunna shades and see inside his bloated, egotistical soul. But then I saw his performance on SNL this year and had to admit he is doing stuff no one else out there comes close to. Take this performance on SNL. I usually fast forward through SNL's musical artists. They're cheesy, on a dinky stage, with three back-up dancers squeezed in. But this...hot dog! It's like Kubrick meets Swan Lake meets American Apparel ad meets Eddie Murphy's 1983 "Delirious" stand-up special.

Wow. Mad props, Kanye. Not that you need 'em.
