The video is actually pretty cool. He has a certain talent and craft that he is really good at. Love it or hate it. If you want to equate "real talent" with fine art painting, doesn't that sort of undermine the work that most of us here do? Art is Art. Someone who is not necessarily artistic can go to a fine art school and become an excellent painter by the time they graduate. It can be learned like any other skill....doesn't mean people will like your work though. So I don't really see how you can use that as a measurement of artistic talent.
The same thing is happening with music. All the mashups and remixes that make up modern music are just rehashes of stuff that was created years ago. You could argue that it's being "ripped" and takes less skill, but it still takes talent and is an art form in itself imo.....just in a different way.
