Our favorite punching bag is at it again. It seems that since Kayne is releasing songs with "techno" beats to them, he now knows everything about electronica. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Daft Punk wrote, produced, and released 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' long before Kanye wrote 'Stronger'. Ok, we all know that. Now, listen to this story I picked up from Dani Deahl on her blog:
"On January 28th, hip hop artist Kanye West’s blog posted an unreleased Daft Punk song called “The Crash” and offered it to fans for free download on kanyeuniversecity.com. In actuality, the song was not authored or performed by Daft Punk, but by Calamity Jane Recordings artist Pilotpriest, and its not called “the Crash,” its called “Body Double.”
The song can be found on Pilotpriest’s Myspace page, and is the first song on the player. When Pilotpriest heard about Kanye’s post, he commented, “Really, really flattered, but this is just a Myspace rip or Sendspace hack of my track.” Likewise, Dani Deahl, co-owner of Calamity Jane Recordings says, “We love the comparison of our artist’s production to Daft Punk, but the claim simply isn’t true. The song was composed by, and belongs to Pilotpriest”.
The post by Kanye spurred rumors that Daft Punk produced the song for their upcoming project – scoring the remake of Tron. Several commenters on the blog assert it as fact and videos have appeared on youtube.com with combined hits of nearly 30,000 in three days. In the wake of the song’s popularity, Calamity Jane Recordings is rushing release of “Body Double” on iTunes."
OMFG! Sorry... had to.

Hey there! Almost correct...he didn't claim it was a hack of his track, his blog just mistakenly said it was a Daft Punk track :)
