fwiw, the pazz and job (national critics) poll had beck 16th; deangelo was first, followed by run the jewels (?), war on drugs and st. vincent. to arnettpartner's point, i think there's plenty of talent out there, but i agree the less of it is really groundbreaking or original--even the best of the current crop seems more overtly derivative than their 70s/80s forefeather, though i may be just getting old and cranky.
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?
