LA Reid Says Kanye West Is On Prince's Level This dude is out of his mind,what fuckin planet is he on? Smh http://m.complex.com/v/Mu...8140cd1c17 "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. | |

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. "Keep in mind that I'm an artist...and I'm sensitive about my shit."--E. Badu | |

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. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
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! | |

LA Reid is one dumb cunt. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
wow, his credibility is so shot now!! | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
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". "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

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

As far as being egotistical asshole, maybe. But musically? Neh... I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

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 | |

It took me a while to realize that Randy was replaced with LA. I just thought Randy had lost a little weight. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
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. | |
