This mashup proves even SpongeBob misses the old Kanye sometimes

As history teaches time and again, just because something can be done doesn’t always mean that it should be done. Current technology makes facile, for instance, the aural intermingling of Kanye West’s relentlessly self-referencing “I Miss The Old Kanye” from The Life Of Pablo and the ukulele-tinged closing theme from Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants. But should such a thing be done? In this case, the answer happily is yes. These two compositions were made for each other, as demonstrated by a remix artist who self-identifies as ASADI. His YouTube account describes his sound as “Persian trap music,” but “SpongeBob, Meet Kanye West” is well outside that purview. A modest, 48-second video showing ASADI’s process in creating the mashup with his trusty Maschine groovebox has already captured some attention on Reddit.
