Jack White Gets His Kanye On

Jack White doesn't know when to quit.

His most popular band, The White Stripes, haven't released an album since 2007 but White has been at work on many projects since then. Last year was time spent with The Racontuers. 2009 found White with another side project called The Deadweather.
Now he's featured in not just one, but two documentary films. The first, entitled It Might Get Loud features White, Jimmy Page and The Edge talking about music, guitars and life. The film has already opened New York City, L.A. and other cities. It will open in Indianapolis on Friday (click here to watch the trailer).
The second documentary is called Under Great White Northern Lights and follows The White Stripes during their short 2007 tour of Canada in support of Icky Thump (watch the trailer here). The rest of the tour was cancelled due to acute anxiety had by Meg White - Jack's ex wife and White Stripes drummer.
Today at the Toronto Film Festival Northern Lights director, Emmett Malloy, was taking questions about the rockumentary when White made a surprise appearance and let his inner Kanye get out. Video is below.
