"I wake up in the morning just thinking about which stereotypes I want to break ... I see artists like Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Chris Martin all in the same room, and we're going to push this music to the point where it was like in the sixties, in the seventies, where you talk about Led Zeppelin and Hendrix and the Beatles. We will be the new Beatles, the new Hendrix. They say in every other industry, you're supposed to do better than the past. Like, computers should get smaller and faster. But whenever you say, 'I want to be Elvis,' they say, 'What's wrong with you?" - Kanye West at the American Music Awards.

Hahaha, wow... dude really needs a wakeup call.

They're all like that now.  To a point I understand what he's trying to say.  These artists ARE this generation's big names in music.  Pathetic, eh?  Even though I don't like most older favorites (Beatles, Elvis, etc.) I do understand their contribution to music in general and their appeal to each generation.  Now?  ADHD twats with delusions of grandeur who are only using innovations from past music eras but calling it their own.

The industry is so fucked now that better artists could never be as classically great. You gotta sell like 2 records now to make number 1. Back then shit was crazy. You had to be on fucking fire. No fucking about.

The streets have gone dark. They've been dark for days. We board up the house. Hide upstairs and wait!

Thats just not true. In those days you were so lucky if you had the chance to record an album.
The musicmarketing these days is just sick, they really look at what the listener wants to hear and see whats hot and not.
These days there are so many more bands, wich makes it harder to break trough.
Or I might be realy getting you wrong.
