That is an excellent question. U didn't hear people 20 years ago comparing themselves 2 the 1 who came before at this rate.

Success is linked to self-worth

Yep I agree, to the slap him silly part as far as Lil Wayne and Hendrix goes. I know Beyonce may like Tina Turner but she could NEVER be Tina. Ms Turner is not prissy at all she's straight raw in her performances and her singing voice.

I'm convinced he deliberately says shit like this just to get a reaction out of everyone.

You'd hear it once in a while, but not with this rate and level of hubris. Even unholy egotrippers like Our Princey checks himself in the presence of his musical elders.

Chic35 said:

Exactly. Lil Wayne has lil-to-no impact on anything relevant in the industry today.

i agree it's shit, but Kanye is such a kind human being.

Whenever Weezy can have this kind of emotional impact let me know.

I read this on perez and was hoping nobody posted this...it is sheer embarassment

now, in the future I'll be happy to inform you with the lates Kanye news.

paisleypark4 said:

Why? Why is talking up his friends so shocking? It's quite hilarious how seriously the org takes everything he says.

I think it's sad how everyone in the media these days and even some music artists are trying to name the next madonna, jimi hendrix...etc. Wouldn't you want to be a pioneer instead of being a copycat. Usher tried to be the next MJ but that was short lived because people got tired of it as well as his ego. I really think the last pioneer superstar we've had is Mariah Carey.

Usher is in the business since 1994. He is a fuckin legend and will be seen as a true cultural icon in a few decades - like the Beatles, Michael Jackson or Madonna, to name a few.


















Okay, this was ay joke. I think he sings like shit, looks like shit and his music is total #*§$?$!!

"NOW THAT NIGGER'S CRAZY!!!!!"
-RICHARD PRYOR "WATTSTAX (THE MOVIE)"-

okay, honestly: have you ever watched an uncut interview of him? I can harldy find any shocking things. It's just in print articles when he says something provocative.
I hihgly believe they misquote him.

Because IMO comparing half-assed pop tarts to musical legends is disrespectful. These new performers don't have half the talent the people Kanye compared them to did.

woogiebear said:

I broke the news to my sister, and she told me Kanye no longer exists, and 808's does not exist either.

I should explain. She likes classic rock, but Kanye is the exception when it comes to rap. But now that no longer exists either.

beyonce is far more talented than tina.

meow85 said:

Disrespectful? Please, taking a dude talking about his mates so seriously is disrespectful.

Anyone with a brain, including Kanye, knows full well "weezy" is not the next Hendrix (is anyone?)

Beyonce is definitely a contender for the R&B Queen crown but she's got a long way to go in terms of artistry.

Just laugh it off, it's harmless, he's talking up his friends (one being his boss's wife no less).

In Bizarro World, perhaps.

But here in this reality Beyonce is a showboating oversinger who can't act her way out of the paper bag she measures her face against.
