Aussie Article on Kayne West vs. JT being a modern day prince vs. MJ rivalry....Hmmm I dont think so

Dont know if this has been posted - so apologies if it has.

Yeah Right!!!!

Kanye West has declared that he and Justin Timberlake are the modern-day equialents of Prince and Michael Jackson.

What, Kanye's ego is super-massive and JT is white?

The rapper with the insanely large ego has a new album coming out, entitled 'Graduation', and on it he has written a song idolising rap impresario Jay-Z.

He's also now saying sweet things about Justin Timberlake:

"My biggest inspiration and biggest competition is Justin Timberlake," Kanye tells the October issue of American rap mag 'XXL' magazine.

"He's the only other person that gets an across-the-board response and respect level - black radio, white radio. If Justin hadn't come out and killed the game, I can't say that my album, singles and videos would be on the same level that they're on.

"We push each other," he said of the two performers. "I look at me and Justin like Prince and Michael Jackson in their day."

Are Kanye and JT fit to hold a candle to the Purple One and Whacko Jacko?

Nope! They may be enjoying their "Hey Day" now, but years from now I don't think they will be remembered much.
