Kanye West Went After A Music Critic On Twitter, Drags His Kids Into It
So much for swearing up and down that you’ll keep other people’s children out of your angry Twitter tantrums.
When Kanye West released The Life of Pablo to the world, he probably assumed that people would love it so much that he’d open his front door one morning and find all of humanity gathered together, with joyful tears streaming down their faces, waiting to kiss his ass (or throw in a finger, Kanye’s choice).
Some people did really like it. And some people didn’t. One such person was a music producer named Bob Ezrin. Bob had some things to say about TLOP and Kanye’s kurrent behavior for the Lefsetz Letter (via UsWeekly), and it was pretty much the opposite of what Kanye wanted to read.
You can read the whole review here (which is the only place it appears to exist online anymore). Now, it’s not technically a review, since Bob admits he hasn’t listened to TLOP yet. But he does know that Kanye’s songwriting is “sophomoric” and that his greatest achievements are “excessive behavior, egomaniacal tantrums and tasteless grandstanding.” He also pulled out a chair and asked Kanye to take a seat in regards to that whole “I’m the world’s greatest living artist” thing. According to Bob, Kayne has released some “great music“, but that he’s made nothing that has changed the world like Jay Z, Grandmaster Flash, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, or NWA have.
Kanye clearly has a Google Alert set up for anytime his name is mentioned in the same sentence as the word “not” or “isn’t” and “unquestionable artistic genius“, because it wasn’t 0.3 seconds before he lept onto Twitter. And I’m sure this will shock you, but it wasn’t to thank Bob for his in-depth analysis of his work. Nope, it was to drag him and his kids. Oh, Kanye.
Has anybody ever heard of Bob Ezrin???

I’m tired of old people that have no connection with anything trying to comment on music!

Do something relevant… Please don’t speak on me bro ever again!!!

Your kids are ashamed of their dad… Sorry for speaking about kids… but could you imagine if you were Bob Ezrin’s kids…
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
I’m so sorry for them… I will send them free Yeezys to make up for the embarrassment that you have caused your family!
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 24, 2016
Bob please never speak in public again… you are everything that is wrong with the old guard …

Ezrin I truly feel sorry for your friends and family that they have had to suffer an idiot like you for so many years…

And when that didn’t give Kanye the meltdown high he needed, he kontinued to embarrass his wife by bringing Taylor Swift back into this mess.
I made Dark Fantasy and Watch the Throne in one year and wasn’t nominated for either and you know who has 2 albums of the year.

Bob has already established that his tolerance for Kris Jenner’s kurrent least-favorite son-in-law is pretty low, so he didn’t say anything else. Meanwhile, a rapper named Young Platinum decided to add a completely new layer of fuckery to this mess by pretending to be Bob on Twitter and slapping back at Kanye.
If you can even believe it, that wasn’t Kanye’s only swipe at Taylor last night. It wasn’t even his only meltdown either. During a performance at 1 OAK last night, Kanye got into it with the audience about Taylor’s alleged approval of that “I made that bitch famous” lyric. Once again, Kanye wants you to know Taylor was into it. Kanye also had more to say about Amber Rose and that whole #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch business. Sorry, did I say “say“? I meant “yell at the top of his lungs.”
Okay Kanye, we get it, your butthole is for pooping ONLY. Although, that would be a lot more believable if it didn’t seem like most of the shit in his body came out of his mouth.
