We're not aware of any sort of consensus among those who create, chronicle or even consume and/or follow popular music, in so far as who the greatest artist of this generation may or may not be, but we firmly believe it is NOT West. And not only is that designation ludicrous but, unfortunately, variations on this have been carelessly repeated, bolstering West's own assumption that he is actually worthy of such a title.
So, for the record, in the nicest way possible and, in a language that everybody here can easily understand, as Malcolm X famously said, Mozart was a genius. Miles Davis was a genius. Frank Zappa was a genius. Kanye West? Please.
