Kanye West: "Beyonce is the new Tina Turner, Weezy the new Hendrix"

Rolling Stone - Kanye was inspired by a candid photo of Rihanna (the muse of his new 808s & Heartbreak video “Paranoid”) stepping into a yellow cab in New York City. “Yo why can’t all paparazzi photos be this good?” Kanye asks. “This pic is hardcore. Peep the perspective shot of the city in the back. Sometimes the paps overexpose the lens or have the flash too high taking all the emotion out of the moment. This moment is captured in time now. Then, Kanye got controversial.

“I look at our current superstars like legends in the making. Like Justin [Timberlake] is the new Mike [Michael Jackson], Beyoncé’s the new Tina Turner, [Lady] Gaga’s Madonna, Jay[-Z] is Sinatra, [Lil] Wayne is Hendrix, Thom Yorke is Roger Waters,” Kanye said in his Match Game. A couple issues, obviously. For starters, Lady Gaga has a long way to go before even being in the same weight class as Madonna, Jay-Z can’t sing or act like Sinatra, Weezy can’t shred like Jimi and while Roger Waters can be considered the heart of Pink Floyd, guitarist David Gilmour was the soul. Plus, let’s see Radiohead continue on without Yorke like Floyd did without Waters."

Kayne's opinion matters about as much as the track 4 on the Rave CD.

Someone needs to punch Kanye in the mouth for saying this dumb shit, then duct tape some headphones onto his ears and have him listen on full blast volume to those artists of true talent whose names he dragged in the mud by claiming little shits like Timberlake and Beyonce to be even close to their worth.


Why the fuck is humility so lacking in this (my) generations' performers? confused

my migraine erupted again after reading this !!!... what I am about to type is way out of character for me but it's the first thing to come to my throbbing mind


Kayne's balls should be boiled...placed gently in each side of his mouth then take both hands and SLAP them back and forth!smile

I thought that's what was causing the hamster cheeks.

U know when i want an expert on music i usually turn to KANYE and his opinions, thats usually after i ask a stray cat what he thinks of the "scene".
