LA Reid is wrong. Kanye dope tho. But Prince level? Nah. Nowhere near.

I still don't get what's great about him. His voice sucks, speaking or singing. He's an A+ producer though but I can't find any other talents. I hate his rhyming skills.

Slow your roll, Reid. He's good but not that good.

You know what.........

I can't even do this today.

Its even worse when you realize that hes not close to greatest rapper either. Switch out the musician part for producer and its kinda correct.

Yeah, I don't think he's the greatest rapper, either. I'd put at least 5 others above him, and I'm not even a huge rap fan, but it's understandable how someone could think he's the greatest rapper ever. That they would say he's the best musician and entertainer ever is shocking!

Poppycock!

LA Reid is one dumb cunt.

wow, his credibility is so shot now!!

His credibility was shot years ago when he was still with J-Records and he forked over millions of dollars in advances so Nippy could record "Just Whitney".

As a big Kanye fan he is beyond wrong, it is comments like these that make people hate artists. I hate when people overrated good artists, when there good there good, when there great there great. Kanye is good nowhere near great

Aint no way!

LA Reid needs to have a seat.

As far as being egotistical asshole, maybe. But musically? Neh...

And tried to screw Pink over with shit she wasn't comfortable singing.

kanye is a visionary more than he gets credit for, he's one of the better mainstream hip hop artists today and I love a lot of his music

well that is actually a reasonable statement!

It took me a while to realize that Randy was replaced with LA. I just thought Randy had lost a little weight.

Randy's still on Idol anyways.

Tbqh...I don't about in terms of performances, but in terms of solo studio albums/work? I think that Kanye way surpassed Prince in that respect.
