Kevye West: 808s & Expiration Dates (Guac Lockdown)
Available on YouTube in HIGH DEFINITION : Just Click WATCH IN HD
Pitch auto-correction and a simple beat can make anything chart-worthy; even a freestyle about guacamole and expired milk. In case anyone's curious, the music took fifteen minutes, the vocals took five and it was all created in GarageBand with built-in effects. Joe shot the video with me in about six hours over the course of a weekend, assembled a pretty much final edit in an hour, and Luis polished everything up in After Effects in an evening or two.
Do me a favor would ya? If you enjoyed the video, please spam it out to other like-minded netizens. Thanks in advance!

Matt
dude, we need another verse and a chorus. I can't this song outta my head, i kept singing "the milk has gone bad" while walking through the dairy aisle at costco.
God I thought the entire thing was funny as f*ck especially the AoTS part where you had Olivia on there doing her thing with garageband.
LMAO..
On a side note, for all of you pissed off at the fact he talked about his dead mom, all I gotta say is that your retarded. Who care's what he says, he was just proving the point that anyone can sound like Kanye if they wanted to, and they didn't need a million dollar studio and overpayed sound engineers to do the same thing they did. Albeit the comment might have gone a little to far, the fact of the matter is we live in the United States, We have for years gone off the basis of freedom of speech. We're Americans, we have the right to say whatever we want. If he feels the comment was over the top then he'll apologize if he wants, but that wasn't really the point of this whole thing.. Calm down, laugh at the video, and be on your way.
Merry Xmas Kevin!
What is the Windows Software they were talking about on there?
OMG YOU SUX FOR MAKIN FUN OF KANYE'S DEAD MOM ;(
Christ, guys. He wasn't making fun of her being dead; Kanye references it a ton in his music. And if you're so caught up on that, then you don't deserve to watch the video. He's spoofing Kanye's new sound and proving anyone with a strong will and tech smarts can make a sound almost equivalent to Kanye's.
Again, good video, KP. Very well done.
So U really think this whole "mother thing" is funny ? Well, I guess you just took it a little too far...
Hope your mother is still living and you don't have to suffer like Kanye !
"...the fact of the matter is we live in the United States, We have for years gone off the basis of freedom of speech. We're Americans, we have the right to say whatever we want."
LMFAO
OMG
mp3 = http://drop.io/kevyewest
you're welcome.
Stick with reviewing gadgets. Leave the funny music videos to people like Andy Sandberg. People who are actually funny. Stay classy Kevin
Kevin, love AOTS ... saw this clip and thought it was just hilarious. Grammy Worthy for sure.
Whoa dude you should totally write for madtv. You show so much originality like their show portrays. Omg!! Sike! You fucking suck, karma's a bitch just remember that the next time something happens to you you'll remember not to mention a persons dead mother. I'm sure you're loving how much attention this is getting.
P.S. you're a low life, I hope you can't sleep at night.
For you people trying to defend this retarded clown this is for you. This video is not funny it's not even close to original. Kanye can talk about his mother passing away because it's his mother and it's his passion. It's not okay for some prick with a dream to be famous to mentions anyones dead mother. Don't trying to defend this loser. You cannot justify anyones judgement by anothers actions and that's a fact.
I don't understand what the huge deal is about KP mentioning Kanye's mother. He wasn't poking fun at it or being rude about it. He was just making a comment and going along with the "I decided to be like Kanye" theme of the song. It's not a matter of race or whatever. Plus, I can't imagine any of you haven't said any objectionable things ever. There's really no reason for all of this mud-slinging.
I found this video and song pretty entertaining. I hope more will come!
Dude, you are awesome. I've been ranting about the overrated-ness of Kayne West recently and this is kind of my anthem. THANK YOU.
Awesome video, Kevin. I loved it.
Dude.
808s & Heartbreaks is rocking the front page of Funny or Die. Well played, sir.
Hey Kevye sweet vid, definitely something that Kanye is undoubtedly screaming 'What the fuck?!' at. Happy birthday, and I hope the holidays are going well with all that milk, instead of Vodka and Bicardi. Or Jack and Captain Morgan. Or Patron and Henessy. Or Blue Moon and Rolling Rock, for that matter. Happy holidays to you and yours.
PS: Twitter me this...A nostalgic relapse?
The dead mother part invalidates the rest of the video.
I hope your mother dies today in a tragic car accident. Oh wait, I'm just parodying Kevye West.
try to realize when you've crossed the line, dude
