The SMH Quote Of The Day: Kanye West Slaps Tina Turner In The Face Kissing Up To The Boss's Wife!!

Posted on December 2, 2008 6:08 PM

Damn that Kanye West. Every time I think he lets me go by being normal, he pulls me back in with his nonsense. Check out what this kat is saying about Beyonce.

During a press conference over in New Zealand today, Kanye West said this about Beyonce:

"Nobody really wants to recognize that Beyoncé is a f*cking living legend and that she is just as great, if not greater, than the artists that we had in the past...that she's probably greater than Tina Turner."
Beyonce could've taken Tina Turner's place when Ike was beating her ass and this b*tch [and I say that with luv] still can't be greater then Tina Turner. Tina's got "What's Love Got To Do With It", "Private Dancer" and "Proud Mary". She's got classic records that still produce millions of dollars.

What the hell does Beyonce have? "Crazy In Love", "Dangerously In Love", "Baby Boy" and "Single Ladies"??? Get the eff out here...

Turner has classic timeless hits; Knowles has quarterly radio smashes.

I'm being funny, but will "Crazy In Love" be hot in twenty years?

And what does he mean nobody is recognizing Beyonce's a living legend? Don't we all only start to truly appreciate people once they aren't around anymore?  I'm sure Beyonce will be getting all the accolades in the world once she sits her ass down and pops out some babies and becomes simply Mrs. Carter.

I find it hard to pump my fist for Bey seeing as though she's been in my face for the past 10-12 years. Damn, can I miss you for a minute please?

Plus, what Kanye is doing aint nothing new. Paying compliments to the boss's wife? How original.

Talk to y'all lata,

Kanye is a Dumbass thats kissin ass.

How can you say Beyonce is greater than Tina when you werent even alive to see Tina do her thing from the beginning?

Plus Beyonce jacked Tina's whole style...if Kayne said that then, sit yo ass down fool.
A mic can be an artists best or worst enemy

Kanye has officially Jumped The Shark...I'm finally starting to get tired of this nigga

808s & Heartbreaks was complete ass

{{-_-}}

I feel Ye on this one. I bet we will have a movie about Beyonce career later on in life. The girl does it all. Acting, modeling, singing, dancing, writing, she looks 100 times better. And she is not stopping. Number 1 on the charts right now and every time u turn around you waiting on her next song. And wait this just in. She has a possible oscar nominated role in cadillac records Even though Tina got 200 mill sold. Beyonce is on her way too at 75 million sold. And people dont even buy album like that anymore. Not when you can bootleg. So she might be there already if you including piracy. Do your thing Ye. He so real yall stop hating cuz he speak his mind. Dont ever hold back on these sack suckers!

Tina Turner is one of our greatest legends but I agree with Kanye. Compare Tina's sales to Beyonce's sales and you have a winner. Beyonce has more hit songs than Tina did after she went solo and left Ike. Truth be told the only reason Tina is still here is because the "Whats Love Got to Do With It?" movie put alot of attention back on her and she came back hard with those two hit songs in the 80's. Cause before that Tina was always small time compared to her superstar peers Aretha, Patti, and Diana.
Her overall career is dwarfed by Beyonce's. Beyonce has accomplished more in a shorter period of time, has a stronger voice, and can pretty much do everything Tina did or does live on stage maybe even more.
I think sometimes we're tempted to say so-and-so is not greater than so-and-so because so-and-so has been our for forty years longer. But just because you've been out longer doesn't mean you get a free ride on the accomplishment chart.
Beyonce is the new Tina Turner. And her career far overshadows her idol Tina's on a plethora of levels.

We are so hesitant to admit that a new age singer has surpassed it's mentors just because we hold them with such high regard. But he is completely right and quite frankly Beyonce has surpassed a number of artists that were once upon a time the "IT" bitch in the music industry, including Tina Turner.
You complain thats she has been in your face for 10-12 years straight but the fact she has remained relevant that long when so many other chicks have come and gone during that time, proves she is a force to be reckoned with. She is respected by critics, fans, and her music peers alike (despite what the blogs try to portray...especially black blogs). Fast foward 20 years from now new artists will be saying they were greatly influenced by Beyonce like the artists of today say about Tina. Hell I can name a few who say it now. Jasmine Sullivan, Leona Lewis, Adele, and Taylor Swift have all said Beyonce has influenced them.

Lets be real the difference between Beyonce and Tina isn't talent. Its that Beyonce hasn't created anything that classic or timeless. All of her music is fast food r&b created to sell for the few months that shes promoting whatever product or movie that she's currently being paid for. Tina has created songs that will continue to be played for their value, something Beyonce has yet to learn.

@ chong u wrong

Clearly, you have never heard any of her albums all the way through. But then again I'm guessing your not a fan so you have probably never purchased one of her albums before. She has timeless songs she just never releases them as singles. Flaws and All, Dangerously in Love, Resentment, Listen, Yes, etc. Those are old tracks.
Her new album is full of songs with substance and value. She made a effort to do so this time around. Check it out...

Dont reduce her down to "fast food r&b". You have her mixed with the T-Pains, Chris Browns, and Rihannas of the world. If her music was that, then I dont think she would have lasted as long as she has.

I have to give props to Genesis for a well written and well balanced objective response. Kanye did speak his mind, and i give him props for that. Also, i don't think he's far from the truth. Just read Genesis' response, and u'll find the explananation to Kanye's opinion.

Bey is the Tina Turner of our time, Slim doing her thing, Tina Turner is about 80, If Bey stay in the game as long as she did believe me she will sell more records.

Beyonce is just a radio/ringtone hit maker, although she is one of the few i can tolerate. she is bomb as hell, but tina turner is a classic. i dont think you can say that about beyonce. Kanye needs to shut the fuck up now im tired of his bullshit. he was good when his first and second CD came out...third one was okay...and this last one is the selling out point of his career. hes now there with the akons and t-pains of the industry. R.I.P. the OLD Kanye West.

Uh..you just contradicted yourself by saying Tina Turner is timeless etc...but then you say Beyonce has been around for 10-12 years...If she's been around for that long and just had a number one album and number 1 single in the country, come on stop hatin so hard and jump off the South's dick GYANT!
