“We drop the mitts and play frisbee, and wait for the awed crowds to form. There is not quite the room here there is on the beach, or at the park in the hills, and the shorter playing field necessitates a certain delicacy, obviates the need for the brutal force we usually put into the throwing, makes impossible the long, high, epic sort of throws for which we are known and acclaimed. But we make do, slicing the frisbee through the diagonal kite strings, curving it around passersby, catching it of course in any number of wildly impressive ways- through our legs (but not like some fribee weenie), behind the back (while jumping, half twisting, left to right), and after tipping it, two, three, four times, taming it, slowing it to a weak spin, retiring it for the one-fingered catch. We are so good. Everyone thinks so.”

This Spike Jonze directed short film from Kanye West apparently “walks the fine line between self aggrandizement and self mockery.” It begins with the star staggering about a club having had a little too much vino - fairly run of the mill- don’t give up though, it gets weird.
