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?

If one were to take the major labels out of the equation and allow more creative content without regards to sales, imagine just how long some of this mass market music would last.

One really can't blame the artist if he's the one being marketed: he's wholly a creation of the machine.

Having said that, I'm with Ps.

All the best,

I wonder what resurrected this thread. Too much down time. Scrolling through the threads. Drink in hand......
