So Kanye West basically put Daft Punk on the map

hahahaha are you at all in touch with whats going on in the music industry!!! kanye west just took a sample from one of their hit song thats it!
 
And what have they done with it? Nothing. This band had potential, Kanye basically handed it to them on a silver platter, and then they dropped the ball. People love this band, but I don't see what there is to love. I guess Kanye neeRAB to hurry up and release another album so they can back into the mainstream.
 
Dumb dumb dumb.

Daft Punk is huge in the rave/house music/eurotrash scene. All you listen to is crap so when Kanye took a sample from one of their already very popular songs it was the first time you'd heard it.
 
Kanye did help them gain a lot of new fans but i wouldn't say he put them on the map

"Stronger" was released on July of 07 & "Alive 07" was released November of the same year
 
Nelly put Tim McGraw on the map too when they did "Over and over again" together.

Did Tim McGraw "drop the ball" by not capitalizing on his sudden "fame" in the hip hop world? Should he have put out a hip hop album to appeal to his "new fans"?

Sorry TS...this thread still makes me laugh...
 
Daft Punk is the shit, and has been since "homework." OP is a dumb, i agree with you fryman. So they arent played on the radio, you dont know them? is that right? I remember watching the video to "Around the World" when i was in 7th grade.
 
they weren't, really. because if they were they'd be on every radio station. it took Kanye to get them on the radio stations. but now that Kanye is not doing nothing, Daft Punk basically drowned. metaphorically speaking.
 
thats wrong. "Harder, better, faster, stronger" was released on October 13, 2001 as a single. Yeah it is on Alive 07, but it was originally released on the "Discovery" album which came out March 13, 2001.

They had a shit ton of fans before Kanye even came out (ofthecloset).
