Remember Fonzworth Bentley? Yeah you do. He’s that smooth cat that helped Diddy make the band. He also liked to fly around Outkast videos on an umbrella, Mary Poppins style.

Fonzworth (Mr. Bentley if yer nasty!) seems to be taking a stab in the music world. Or perhaps more fairly, the world of dressing up in a suit, dancing like a gentleman, and singing soothing R&B to the ladies. But he couldn’t do it alone, he recruited Kanye West and Andre 3000 to help bring the cool to the masses. I say he should have given Billy D Williams a ring and called it a day.

…Or did they? That seems to be the debate happening right now. Some people say it was the real DAFT PUNK while others say it wasn’t them. All we know is that they looked badass. And let’s face it, looking badass is often way more important than people thinking you were somewhere or not. Here’s the video, judge for yourself.

We’re posting this image mainly because we love KANYE WEST and his love for things geeky from Daft Punk to Star Wars. The poster for his upcoming tour pretty much hit the geek nail on its proverbial nerd head.

Not dates have been announced yet but that shouldn’t keep you from basking in the poster’s awesomeness.

That’s the question, KANYE WEST or DAFT PUNK? Our vote is for the French dudes that don’t talk and just rock.

PETER BJORN & JOHN were on hand to play the backing band for KANYE WEST at the Way Out Festival this past weekend in Sweeden. They did a great mixed up version of the song “Young Folks.”

The collaborative idea came when back in May, a song featuring West freestyling over the whistling of “Young Folks” hit the internet from a mixtape called ‘Ye’s Can’t Tell Me Nothing .
