Kanye/LMFAO confrontation over Love Lockdown Remix

http://www.worldstarhipho...nxT8OH0dNQ

Why is Kanye turning into Prince Rogers Nelson? It's a remix,dude. You do remixes and you do unauthorized remixes. What in the hell, how can anyone be so confused and lost who to fight? Fuck it you are now

Kanye Nelson no longer west, KANYE NELSON Everyone refer to Kanye as Kanye Nelson who?
Kanye Nelson

Because Prince has the same lame ass confrontations with artists scolding them not to cover songs of his. One of the worst lamest covers was that Radiohead tripe. And he did that not because he liked the band he just wanted to pretend he was cool and hip with the times. This irrational squabble and the crying of web sheriff, it's all very similar. No wonder everyone left.

But in the end, who cares? Prince is still going to be Prince and Kanye is still going to be Kanye. Either take it or leave it. It's that simple.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

There is no leave it in criticism for me. It's always:discuss That's what artists are there for. Discussions. Obviously some people do care to discuss this. It's limited in scope but that's why there is a endless world of discussion and topics. One of the myriad topics that interest me, that's all.

It's a multitude of reasons. Ego,insecurity,paranoia If it's something he doesn't like he tries to stop it. To make this Kanye related, its the same issue of control "I can do that but you can't because *enter lame excuse here* "

Kanye released the multi track stem files for each instrument on "Love Lockdown" on his blog for a limited period... I assumed he was encouraging remixes?
