Kanye West and Akira

I was watching Kanye West's new vid on MTV today and saw that he references Akira quite a few times in the video. He plays Tetsuo at one point and it also has scenes of motorcycles driving in what looks like downtown Tokyo with the lights streaking as they did in Akira.

I didn't care too much for the song, but when I saw this after it was realized I found myself pretty amused.
