I only ask, can you do what Kanye West does? I doubt it, not to take anything away from you, but to call him a "lesser-star" as if he's some talentless prick is absurd, IMO. Kanye never compared himself to Michael, a tabloid started a rumor and majority of you ran with it, kind of hypocritical if you ask me. Will Kanye West go down as one of the best of the modern era? Yes, he will, whether you like it or not, and he deserves it, with that said, that doesn't mean he's the same caliber superstar as Michael Jackson. But put it like this, people like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Jay-Z, Eminem, Usher, and Kanye West, they are the superstars of today, they are now the people that the upcoming artists look up to for inspiration. It seems some of you can't come to grasp with that, Michael Jackson is timeless, but peoples taste aren't.
Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli and Terence Trent D'arby were the superstars of their time for a while. They are a laughing stock now.
Could I do what he does? You mean shouting over a sample of an old song? Yes, I can do that.
I prefer to listen to the music of people who can genuinely do something that most people can't. Like when Michael sings, or when Slash plays the guitar... that's talent right there.
Auto-tuned drivel with some idiot shouting over a sample is something a monkey could do.
Kanye West won't be remembered in 20 years, I guarentee it.
