Caesar West-Video response

For my musical response I chose to compare Plutarch's Life of Caesar, to Kanye West's song Power. In the music video for his song, Kanye is pictured as a god. As he stands at the center of what appears to be heaven, the camera slowly pans out to reveal demi-god like beings that represent some of the vices that come along with his power. These include lust, greed and people trying to kill him. This song was made after Kanye had become an established artist in the hip-hop industry, and describes his personal experience with what fame, and thus power, has brought him. I feel like much of what Kanye experienced is similar to Caesar experience after he became the Emperor of Rome. Power brought him riches, women and enemies.
