LA Reid Says Kanye West Is On Prince's Level

"Kanye West is, for me, one of the greatest, if not the greatest performer, entertainer, musician, of all time. One of the greatest. He's right up there with the greats, and people may not recognize it today, but I promise you, a few years from now we're gonna look back and say, 'Oh my God, what an amazing, amazing talent.' Now people love Kanye, for sure, but he's great great. I mean on the level of Prince." - L.A. Reid, when asked what he thought about Kanye.

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.

LA Reid no u didn't compare Kanye to Prince! Even though I met Kanye and his is gifted. HE IN KNOW WAY SHAPE OR FORM IS ON ANY LEVEL NEAR PRINCE AND NEVER WILL BE.....EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVEREVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

eye will ALWAYS think of prince like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. eye mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that prince wasn't of this earth, eye would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. prince

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!

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".lol

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

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

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

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.
