beyonce is the QUEEN

and kanye west is the new pat boone. i agree.

Floyd carried on without Waters? Maybe a few live shows playing old Pink Floyd songs and recording what are really Gilmour solo songs, but they did not carry on as an true band. Besides, Waters solo shows sound more like Pink Floyd than Pink Floyd without him.

“The point West was trying to make with all these way-off comparisons, however, is that the paparazzi should treat the legends of our times like the legends of the past.”

Number one, none of the people named will be “legends” as they have not proven the longevity of say, a Sinatra. Sinatra could perform, act, and he was a MATURITY that is lacking even in the sad eyes of Thom Yorke. Roger Waters WAS Pink Floyd.
Number Two, the current bunch are 15 second wonders, while the “legends” will still be talked about fifty years from now.

If Mr West does not like how the papparazzi treats his peeps, then he should personally help them with his money and, er talent? I also THINK HE SHOULD LOOK UP NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER SO WE CAN BE FREE FROM THIS CYCLE OF IDIOTS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

As you were.

Once they compare you to the original legends, your career is doomed.

f rolling stone
these comparrisons arent too far (except lady gaga)
its just kanye’s opinion rolling stone doesnt have to get all bitchy about it
chillll

Well i know that Beyonce is already a Legend. She has been on top for the last 10 years

but the others?!!!!!!!!!!

oh kanye, such a gap between how smart you are and how smart you think you are. you embarass yourself.

lady gaga will be better than madonna justin as mike is so correct but jay-z i dont believe beyonce not not rihanna is the new itna turner and lili wayne is not the new hendrix
I LOVE LADY GAGA

Thom Yorke and Jay Z are the only ones that will be listened to 30 years from now, they are both legends. Beyonce, maybe if she keeps it up. Radiohead is already one of the best bands of all time

….real music. Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” may be the worst song ever. I’m no Madonna champion, but Madge runs laps around LG.

Radiohead are already legends. Everyone else on the list are not going to be remembered in 15 years and if they are it won’t be in a legandary manner

Gimme a break: Timberlake is the new Michael Jackson????? all right i guess Chris Martin is the new Mozart, man what a shame. This man(Kanye) is going crazy, not even in a cool way, Timberlake could be compareded to Elvis if you want, but not to MJ, MJ is untouchable, noone will replace Michael Jackson, he’s too freakin talented that’s why he went nuts. Michael Jackson is not only a legend he’s also a Genius, You can replace legends but you cannot replace geniuses, they are unique.
However i do see the resemblance between Beyonce and Tina Turner.

lady caca = madonna?.. come on now kanye.. i have three things to say to lady caca:

M… I… A…

Beyonce~ duh Is Da New Tina Turner Nd Of Course Jay-Z A Legened As Far As Da Rest They Need Like 6 To 8 More Yrs Nd The Game

Duh Beyonce Is Da New Tina Turner

Duh Beyonce Is Da New Tina Turner

“[Lil] Wayne is Hendrix”

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
MENTIONING HENDRIX AND LIL WAYNE IN THE SAME BREATH?!?!?!!?!? IS KANYE ON CRACK???

What is Kanye on?! Just having Lil’ Wayne and Hendrix in the same breath or thought is by far the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

This douche is so full of himself he truly believes that his opinions actually matter, why doesn’t he do everyone a favor and stop torturing the public with his nonsense rants and his crappy recycled auto-tune music?

kanye needs to get off of jay z’s dick i mean come on give me a break what about the other artist that are doing it big.And he’s adding beyonce because that is jay z’s wife i know he is your ideal but u keep riding jays dick and another thing justin timberlake will not be another michael what has justin really done to be compared nada!!!!!! U need to get a grip with yourself or something!!!!

Wouldn’t Rihanna be the new Tina Turner?

Please, please, Kanye! For the love of God! GO AWAY! We’ve had enough of your stuck up “I’m better than you” attitude! You need a reality check! You ain’t all that!

First of all wut makes jay-z a hip hop legend?he’s a good business man but in hip hop he’s just a rapper biting other rappers flows what has he done to change the hip hop game to be considered a legend?these little kids that don’t no ish about real hip hop think these rappers like jay-z and this lil Wayne alien looking fool are real mc’s making all these love songs wearing tight lil jeans sucking on loli pops in videos and they’re pose to be some hard core gangster rappers these fools aint no legends real legends in the game is people like ice cube, dr dre,krs1,easy-e,slick rick ,too short,eric b & rakim people that came in and made changes in this game kaney is really I’ll in his head he gots issues making those gay songs is this fool a rapper or an r&b singer this fool is really confused

wether you haters like it or not, lil wayne is allready a legend, his album was the highest selling album of 2008 he won the 2009 grammies and everyone these days has featured him even legends like madonna and mariah carey have featured him

zenlunatic or wateva ur name is now one listens 2 jay z now, so wat makes u think people r gona listen 2 him in 30 years, have u even herd his new song jockin jay z its a shit, whereas lil wayne will stil be listened 2 cus look how many hits hes already had n hes only 26

kanye is funny. lol

i can’t tell if the dude who wrote this was trying to make some kinda joke by pretending to take ‘Ye’s analogies completely literally, or if he’s just dumb.

beoncey needs to bring out more songs i mean they are good and that just need more good ones, and kayne west is a BABE ! id love to meet him likes :L!

beoncey needs to bring out more songs i mean they are good and that just need more good ones, and kayne west is a BABE ! id love to meet him likes :L!

there all music legends

MJ’s too good, and Radiohead are already legends

I may or may not agree but it’s just his opinion.GEEZ

they are all legends exept lady gaga how can she be a legend after 1 album lol, n last time i checked artists who start with a massive first album usaully screw up after that, n the artists who take ages to get recognised like lil wayne whos been in music for 10 years are the ones who have a succesful career

I agree wit kanye west on these except for Lady GaGa being the new Madonna…yea rite…she whig wearing bitch just too long came out. Britney Spears is the new Madonna cuz she’s been in this game in a min. And Beyonce is like Tina Turner and Dina Ross put together! im a huge fan of her’s and i love and support everything she does! Beyonce is already a legend! love her love her love her! Who is Rihanna?

Damn, Kanye knows about Waters & Pink Floyd?!? I’m very impressed. I may have to rethink this guy.

He’s trying to claim his peers invented the wheel.

the moment you start comparing yourself to someone else, it just means you claim you’re second best.

lol khanye makes me laugh!!Timberlake the new Michael Jackson??? In his dreams!

Justin Timberlake is nothing compared to Michael Jackson. Timberlake should dedicate to make movies, cause in music he’s cero, and dancing God even my dog dance better.
Radiohead is already a legendary band, see i have nothing against this Kanye west, but he needs to shut up, he’s ridiculous sometimes, many times actually.
Lady Gaga is nothing but a product, Madonna is herself a product, i take Beyonce anytime, even though she’s screams so bad at times that a want to kick her butt hahahaha, really anoying!!!like her voice is becoming super annoying and too much of a product, i even prefer Rihanna, nah… but at least she’s pretty bye

If we keep listening to Kanye he’ll just keep talking.

Beyonce is lready a legend!! She is da best singer alive and is da DIVA!! rihanna is a knob she needs to leave a.s.a.p she a dikhed!!

r u ppl serious with Rihanna being the new Tina … that girl can BARELY sing & she cant entertain @ all she is boring on stage… smh @ yall

beyonce is just a god, she cannot be compared to anyone else because she is simply the geatest

people takin this the wrong way. Kanye was saying that they have the same felling these other artist had, not that they are reincarnations or something.

and for all you haters

JAy Z is the frank Sinatra of hip hop

Lady Caca, as someone accurately put it, can’t even hold a candle to Madonna. Madonna made good music and she has become a vital part of the music industry. That’s why ever since there have been a bunch of Madonna-wannabes popping up, Lady Caca being one of them. If Kanye said Britney Spears is the new Madonna, that’d be different, cause Brit has defied every odd to remain successful and relevant to this day, very much like Madonna. Lady Caca, however, is a newcomer and a likely one-hit wonder. She makes the headlines for her tacky, trashy outfits and all she talks about is sex. Her music is mostly, well, caca. If there’s any comparison to be made to Madonna, it’s that she’s a FOURTH RATE version of her.

YESI HAVE AN AGREEMENT WIUTH K.BUT LILL WYN AINT A LEGEND.MY B BEYONCE $ JIGGER-MAN.THERS NOI ELETRONIC LEGEND.THAT MEANZ 1 EVERY 1 IZ A LEGENT,COZ EVRY 1 CAN SING ELETRONICALLY.

wow kanye you are really brilliant. did u come up with these comparisons all by urself?

heres mine kayne is the new mc hammer.
to put jay z and sinatra in the same sentence.

lil wayne…jimi hendrix? kanye u are a fuckn idiot!

lil wayne couldnt even handle guitar hero!

I dont care about the rest but Wayne is HENDRIX?!?! All my respect for kanye has gone, thought he was smart but i was wrong. Hendrix is widely considered to be the greatest guitarist in the history of rock music by other musicians and fans!!!
Lil Wayne uses voice amplifiers….. enough said.

I’m sorry but there is no way Lil Wayne can be compared to Hendrix for the reason that hendrix was a cultural influence a real musician and he will be remembered in history for far longer than Lil Wayne

I believe Lady Gaga has genuine talent, and if she plays her cards right, she can be HUGE. BUT, she needs more time to prove herself. As for the others… LIL WAYNE AS HENDRIX! That’s blasphemy! D:

Man, Kanye is really off his rocker these days, isn’t he? Comparing Lil Wayne to Jimi Hendrix? I think he did that on purpose, knowing what kind of reaction he would provoke. And it sure works, cause here we are talking about him.

LIL WAYNE=JIMI HENDRIX!!!???,

kanye west is not to be taken serious..he should try being a comedian with jokes like these..

wait,it’s not even funny..it’s just sad to see how fucked up some people can think..jimi hendrix is a TRUE legend,,lil wayne is “just another rapper”..

Poor Kanye, every time he opens his mouth he makes himself look real bad…stay in the studio my friend

Beyonce the new tina? Are you guys joking beyonce has nothing on tina what a joke beyonce isn’t even that good of a singer and whoever said they have 3 things to say to lady gaga m.i.a. Please her song paper planes makes me want to shoot myself in the head lady GAGA not caca can actually sing MIA can’t she just talks with music truly pathetic

It’s very funny talking about the Floyd without Waters… two albums and around 350 shows playing… er… Roger Waters’ songs.

Kanye must be smoking crack if he thinks some guy who has been playing guitar for 2 years and knows 3 chords is Hendrix.

And Jay-Z is Sinatra? No, Jay-Z is a guy who is only a “hip hop icon” because Biggie Smalls died.

But what does some jerkoff who thinks sped-up samples of 70s choruses and moaning through an auto-tune count as musical innovation know?

Wow I just lose all respect for him. This generation sucks their is no way that any of them are good enough to be considered anywhere near legends.

… he deservese a smack to the face with a bat… wayne=/=hendrix in any way whatsoever

Kanye really does like fish sticks.

Ok i dont really like Hendrix, i think h was not a musical god, but to compare him to lil wayne, well i never thought i will hear something like that.
Beyonce can be related to Tina, but the other comparisons where.. my god….

I could not agree with Kreps more. I was once a huge fan of Kanye West, I bought his albums, went to his concerts and praised his music. But the more popular he got, the bigger his ego grew.

West now thinks he to be larger than life and above the law. He has not yet even had a taste of what it means to be truly legendary, but I think his ego is blinding him from seeing the light. Maybe someone should slap him with this huge ego he has created for himself. It is very annoying to see musicians acting too cool for school, especially when they think that using a vocoder to make songs is real raw talent. Please Pass my thoughts to Mr. Kreps.

Sincerely,

Nate Olivas

I hope Kanye just sits at home and thinks of things that will get peoples attention because if he thinks that LiL Wayne is anywhere close to Jimi Hendricks he’s on crack.

“Lil’ Wayne is Hendrix”

hahahahahaha…kanye u so silly.

The only thing legendary about Kanye is his narcissism an insecurity.

douche.

I’m not angry with Kanye’s accusations, I do think he was just trying to make a point. Even thought most of these comparisons are very farfetched, some may actually have some truth. Beyonce is a powerhouse singer, and could easily be Tina Turner. Justin Timberlake I could see as Michael Jackson. I think I could see Lady GaGa as Madonna in a couple years. I’m seriously in FLOVE with that girl right now, but I can’t say she’s the next Madonna based off an album. Although, I’d go as far as to say she’d be better than Madonna. Anyone who disagrees NEEDS to hear her sing live and behind a piano. She writes her own songs and makes her own clothes, and I think that deserves some respect. But don’t take too much of this to heart – Kanye was, like I said earlier, just trying to make a point. :]

Are you seirous?!!! Are you frekaing serious?!! Lil’ Wayne as Hendrix? That doesn’t even comparea little. Lil’ Wayne can barely do anything. That pair up is supernatural. That will NEVER happen. NEVER. Lil’ piece of crap can’t even rap right. He sounds like a manly girl in his albums. Please. Don’t say that ever again Kanye. For the respect of humanity.

ALL OF YOU IGNORANT PEOPLE ARE UNBELEIAVABLE. Maybe if you took the time to see things, you could see that Madonna, when she first came out was nothing more than what Lady GaGa is now. A LEGEND IN THE MAKING, same goes for Jay-Z/Sinatra and Beyonce/Tina and Timberlake/Jackson. I would love to see all you idiots in a couple years when all these artists are f****ing LEGENDS and your’e all rushing to the ticket office in a couple of years and your’e pushing each other out of the line and when you look back at these comments, you’ll see that you were COMPLETE AND TOTAL FOOLS.

to “al” you probably are s2pid enough to see “backstreet boys” as the next beatles back in the 90’s aren’t you?

No, those legends were much more significant than those 15-minute of fame copycats. Those artists (though I’m not familiar with Madonna) created a name for themselves with their music and style.

So true, but then practically the whole music industry owes something to M.I.A. this decade. Dawg was inspiring everyone from Missy, Bat for Lashes to Kings of Leon, Bloc Party and Trent Reznor before preppies woke up last tuesday.

I think alot of people have taken Kanys statement out of context because when he compared Jay-Z to Sinatra, he mean’t that Jay-Z was the Frank Sinatra of Hip-Hop!! I think Justin Timberlake will do great if he covered some of MichealJacksons songs becuase he does has a high voice just like Michael! I really don’t like wayne at all!! oh, and Mrs. Beyonce is truly a Legend who happens to be 37 yrs old. is definitely a Tina Turner to her generation with a mixture of Aretha& Diana Ross!

I’m sorry for accidently typing in the wrong age number of beyonce! I mean’t to say that Beyonce was 27 yrs old!!

Okay, my opinion on this… Timberlake has a similar voice to MJ, but he is just NOT him, and that’s really hard to imagine. Timberlake- 2 solo albums, MJ did much more in this lapse as an artist. Lady GaGa as Madonna, maybe, only because of the controversial thoughts reflecting on her music. Beyonce is simply amazing, so yeah, she’ll compare to Tina Turner. Jay-Z has good stuff too, so it’s safe to say as a “Frank Sinatra”. I only disagree with Kanye with Lil’ Wayne; not a big fan of Wayne.

To all the lil wayne haters suck a fucking dick. Hes a lyrical legend.Saying he cant rap is fucking retarded.

Kayne West is a joke.Rap and Hip Hop are nothing but people prancing around with a microphone in their hand and talking BS into the mic.That is not music.Sorry people.

Justin Timberlake is another joke.All he does is slide his little feet around in about a 6 foot radius.The guy needs to start acting like a white person that he truly is.The guy is a fake.

wat the fuck.
hendrix defined a fucking generation, he is probably the best guitarist to EVER FUCKING LIVE.
lil wayne can not play guitar for shit, i heard his ‘rock’ song and it fucking disgusted me, he is fucking terrible

Fuck no! Justin Timberlake is a fake, a loser, nothing! he didn’t influence black music to both black and white people! he didn’t win 8 grammies in one night, he didn’t change music videos to have naratives like Thriller! he didn’t create Thriller! he didn’t sell the biggest selling album of all time he didn’t sell over 500m records sorry JT fans but your hero is nothing compared to MJ! Lady gaga isn’t the new madonna i am not a fan of Madonna but she is better then Lady Gaga! and Lil wayne isn’t the new Hendrix geez

RAPPERS ARE NOT MUSICIANS! and to put them in the same breath as those who are is a travesty.

Actually “SummerLovin” No band today can compare to The Beatles…especially the wash-outs you mentioned. I’m just telling you, don’t underestimate an artist simply because they are new.

Jay-Z…the new Sinatra?! You have lost your damn mind. Wayne the new Hendrix? Kanye needs to be schooled in the Legends of Music.

Tina is the queen of rock n roll, bot beyonce. and how can wayne be compared to hendrix. Kanye is an idiot sometimes
