He says, “Nobody really wants to recognize that Beyoncé is a f***ing living legend and that she is just as great, if not greater, than the artists that we had in the past…that she’s probably greater than Tina Turner.”

That’s quite a big thing to say. I’m not so sure I’d go that far

I like Kanye, but this mofo done bumped his motherfuckin head mad


It's a way for him to elevate his era, the artists of his era. Which ultimately elevates him.

He must be talking alot of shit to keep his name out there, which is the new way to keep up your profile, talk shit, start shit, but no one ever keeps up their profile with kick ass records in this mainstream we have been blessed with. Here are the classics lines that have come this last year or two.



"me and jt are like Michael and Prince in the 80's"
"im the black madonna"
"im the first one to ever do a video for every song on an album"


For everyone that bad mouths the past everyone seems to reach back and grab it and use it as a platform for their shit. The above quotes are gems from Kanye,Beyonce and Rihanna. We all know Kanye is just an immature dick, and we tolerate it, because its now expected. Kind of like when Little Richard would go on every award show and say the winner is "me", the difference, Little Richard had a lifetime of being screwed by everyone, kanye has not. As for this TINA comment, i really take offense to this comment, because of WHO Tina Turner was and is, what she represented as a woman, the times she went through. I mean she played clubs back in the day that wouldnt even let her eat a meal in the club because she was black, Beyonce has not even seen anything like that. She is alive because of someone like TINA. TINA did not have any of the benefits that Beyonce has had, a media that is up her ass 24/7, every magazine cover, every poster in a store, every 5 seconds on a video channel, Tina had none of that.I would have more respect or less offense to this comment had Beyonce struggled or even Kanye the way any of the past artists struggled, got screwed, just so they could have the benefits they do.


The first two are dumb ideas (like "Beyoncé being greater than Tina) but the last one isn't even factually true. ONJ, baby, for "Physical". It's great that shit shoppers like Kanye and Fiddy know nothing of pop music history! You'd think with Kanye supposedly being this genius producer and sort of a self proclaimed geek, he would know something!

Beyonce = pop

Tina = rock AND soul

Therefore, Tina is greater!

The last time I checked, Beyonce was stealing.....oops, I mean borrowing some of Tina's ideas, NOT the other way around.

beatles said

Not this old chestnut. lol

When John said The Beatles were bigger than Jesus, he meant that pop and rock music were becoming more popular with young people than religion, and he didn't mean that as a positive thing. Taken in the context of the full interview, all that's pretty clear.

The only comments I ever agree with him on was homophobia in hip-hop and George Bush. Other than that, he can go to hell. evillol

Yeah I read about that ridiculous quote the other day and thought that Kanye had finally lost it. I really think Kanye is just an attention seeker though, there's no way he (or anyone in their right mind) really believes that Beyonce is more talented than Tina Turner. I believe he says most of these things to get a rise out of people and to be controversial.

Someone stick a sock in K's mouth, please??? It was fine for him to trip over Bush and Katrina - that was very applicable. But now he's just getting a reputation for being full of hot air...

Beyonce is "pop-ular" - but pop music used to mean something ENTIRELY different.
