Get ready to "Treat yo self" to the funniest Kanye West music video that was not made by the rapper himself. "Master of None" duo Aziz Ansari and Eric Wareheim teamed up for a goofy music video for West's song "Famous" off his latest album "The Life of Pablo."
The two star as "Lil Bud" and "Big Bud" as they lip sync some of the lyrics from one of West's more controversial songs as they wander along the streets of Rome. In the video, Ansari and Wareheim are seen posing at famous Roman spots like the Trevi Fountain, dancing in fields off the Italian Coast and going for a black-and-white scenic bike ride. Food is also a major component of the music video, and the two are seen dinning on pasta, pizza, wine and gelato.
The video was filmed on location in Italy, where the two are reportedly filming some of the second season of Ansari's hit Netflix series, "Master of None." During the season one finale, Ansari's character leaves for Europe to perfect the art of pasta-making, so it would make sense that all the delicious-looking pasta in the "famous" video could also be used as part of "Master of None."
Wareheim is no stranger to making music videos; before he went on to co-star in Ansari's show, he was known for directing music videos and had worked with some big-name acts like Major Lazer, MGMT, Beach House and more.
Ansai is also a well-known huge fan of West and his music and has used the antics of the rapper in many of his stand-up comedy routines. The former "Parks and Recreation" star was not the first comedian to make a spoof of a West song. In 2013, James Franco and Seth Rogen famously recreated shot-by-shot the rapper's music video for "Bound 2," in which he drives on a motorcycle with his wife, Kim Kardashian, facing toward him. Zach Galifianakis also created his own music video for West's song "Can't Tell Me Nothing."
"Famous" was one of the most talked about tracks off of West's "The Life of Pablo" due to a lyric in which the rapper said he and Taylor Swift "might still have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous."
