i can't comment on beyonce's music, which i haven't heard, and i agree with the general sentiment that kanye is an attention whore whose dis of beck is completely classless. however, i've always thought beck was a bit overrated--to me he's more craftsman than genius--a smart, well-connected guy with a knack for trends and a nice way with a hook, but (unlike say, david bowie) not quite the real thing. that said, his last one is impeccably well produced, which counts for something.
Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck
Kanye West on-camera last nite: 'Beck needs to respect artistry.' Then a long rant about...ah just watch it.
What would Kanye say about Beethoven? Or Dylan? or Matisse?
Having fun with this as Twitter is aflame already with it. But the more I think about it, the more it gnaws on me. He was referring to Beck winning Album of the Year (instead of Beyonce). I could go on a long rant myself about his ego, general creepiness, but nothing I could add. But his comments are heard by millions of music fans...
Anyhoo, anyone else see those comments? Reactions?
