Kanye West Sucking Up to Beyonce, Says She’s Greater Than Tina Turner

Sandra Rose December 2, 2008

Kanye West has been bad mouthing Beyonce all over the place in favor of Rihanna. Now he’s singing a different tune ~~probably because Jay Z stepped to him~~.

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.”

Greater than Tina Turner?? What is he smoking?

shes no greater than her own self.

certainly not tina
browni007

The same shyt that made him put on them ugly azz white glasses.
Amulet

I think people misunderstood Kanye.

Rihanna did push Beyonce, I believe that is what he said. That doesn’t take away from the fact that Beyonce is lengendary.

Tina Turner isn’t my era, so I agree with Kanye!
Terry .W

Beyonce, a living legend? = NO – that title has to be earned and she will get there no doubt…just dont force it!
cocoa49

what is he smoking you ask?……that same shyt that makes him think that he is the greatest rapper alive. straight up nutcase….

lol .. thanks Auntie … I stand corrected … lol .. lol

Beyonce is legendary because she has already left a big mark in the entertainment industry that other singers are striving to do.

Tina Turner is legendary too.
http://www.myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

Tina Turner is a legend! Beyonce is not!

There is no comparison…sorry!
Amulet

Then what makes a legend?
PAGESINADIARY

BEY IS NOT A LEGEND. NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING ONE!!!

Forget this post, what about Palin sitting in the back taking notes, as she should. Priceless.
Dhoward1913

Why does anyone take this dude serious? He is a big joke and should not be allowed to speak!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReadTheBlog

Y’all remember Tupac used to pop off at the mouth about a lot of absurd shchitt, and do absurd things, then he got killed. Kanye should chill out.

But he’s got yall all up in a tizzy and smelling his nuts everytime he makes a move. It’ like he’s the puppet master and you are all on his strings…
Amulet

All things comments are so very contradicting.

Everyone says that Sandra is hating Beyonce, yet Kanye just said something nice about her and everyone sort of is like blah. I said that she is a legend, and now…people are screaming she is not.

You guys are tooooo funny. This is what makes my day. lol
Amulet

I’ve never yet smelled bad nuts. lol
bloggergirlz

@read: ummm…tupac was a lil bit mo gangster than kanye lol…trust me kanye know his lane…
shintrell

I think she will be a legend, maybe. I don’t think she is one now. I think you have to withstand the test of time. She is still in the height of her career which really just exploded in 2003. Destiny’s Child was a good group,but come on now. I think her performances are amazing, but her music is often mediocre.
aduvalprincess

I think Beyonce is a legend. There isn’t anyone in the world who doesn’t know who she is. Top selling cd’s & tours, million dollar movies (Austin Powers), clothing line…I respect her hustle. In my opinion, Angela Bassett made Tina a legend. She turned her back on her “r&b” roots and went to rock n roll after all those beat downs by Ike. But I have respect for both of them. Oh, and I love Kanye…he is a genius.
Amulet

Kanye is too smart to be a funky gangsta.
shintrell

And did anybody else see this press conference? Kanye has been acting very strange lately, he talks like he’s zoned out. I didn’t even make it to that quote, it was just too much. I like his new CD though.

Legends…Jimmy Hendrix, Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Bono,

and Elvis…

Dang, I don’t know Mick Jagger or Bono.

@ DivineBrown….Exactly. People who didn’t just start here today gone tomorrow trends. Those who people who changed music period.

It’s not that people are contradicting themselves. You can like, even love Beyonce, without thinking she’s a legend!

Divine- you forgot to add Madonna to that list!
katgirl33

Kanye must have been smoking some of that New Zealand PIE YOW!!!!

Hell to the naw! LOL
CaramelDrop

Beyonce is a legend in the making…. i guess she got to get living sh!t beat outta her by a crackhead and refuse to leave him to become a legend.

Negroids refuse to give my girl her props so INFESTED w/hate you look in the crack of her arms to find flaws

He wasn’t bad mouthing her all over the place he said that one comment about Rihanna. Idk…idk if I think she is a legend yet. Def. already an icon ( I don’t think she knows it yet) but legend….I don’t think so.

P.S. Kanye is ALWAYS talking reckless….always saying some outlandish ish. lol.

@shintrell well said…
http://www.myspace.com/lorettadivine DivineBrown

Don’t get it twisted…I love me some Beyonce!

But, I’m not gonna haul off and say she is legendary. She WILL BE…SHE has to pay her dues.

Look at how people still freak out over Elvis and Marvin Gaye? Europeans still freaking out over Michael Jackson. You have to change the game. She hasn’t done that, yet.

You must be very young not to know who Mick Jagger is, but maybe youve at one point seen a Mary J Bliges’ or diddy performance with bono??…please tell me you at least saw that…
purepisces

Love the K Man, but he’s been trippin alot lately. Needless to say that I don’t think Beyonce is a legend, nor greater than Tina. I guess we’ll see though…if Bey is still commanding the money, attention and fans when she gets to be Tina’s age, then we can revisit the situation.

Hey Divine! How about Madonna, Tupac, Biggie, Aretha, Patti, Whitney, Bob Marley…hmm…who else? They’re so many white ones…Liza, Barbara, Judy…LOL!!! =)
shintrell

@ Terika Thanks. And I like Beyonce, I don’t like this latest cd, but I like her in general. I just don’t agree that fame and fortune now equals being a legend 50 years from now. I think her and Alicia will be though.

Their opinion? I like some of her music but I’m not a fan of hers lets keep it REAL she is NOT a legend. And like DB listed the legends I’m going to list some more legends;

Amulet

#42, Terry .W, I never paid them any attention. But when I looked them up I do recognize their faces.

When I was younger, I never cared to remember their names cause I don’t listen to their music at all. Mick Jagger and Bono are not for me.
Amulet

I don’t think Patti Labelle is a legend either.

Good one Hermosa!!

How about some older ones…

Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, Diana Ross, Ray Charles, Louie Armstrong, Smokie Robinson, Little Richard, Stevie Wonder…

DIANA ROSS! My heart skips a beat whenever I hear her. My g-ma tuned me into her. Mind you, my grandmother didn’t know one peep of english! LOVE HER!!!

MADONNA AND PRINCE…i’M SLIPPING!

AND ALL YOU SAID PISCES…THAT IS A GOOD LIST!

The point is…BEYONCE DON’T GO ON THAT LIST! NOWHERE!

Try Millie Jackson – thats one person I think is a legend, maybe you might like her – then again you might not!

Aretha Franklin is a legend and her fat azz performed on DWTS so how come Toni is not a legend because she is good at dancing even though she didnt win….

I don’t think Toni is a legend for the same reason I don’t think Bey is one. I do like Toni though!! She had a good run…but she fell off.
http://myspace.com/erikamagaly Hermosa

@ missdallas

I don’t think Toni has done anything revolutionary or changed people lives with her singing. Her music isn’t timeless, it’s mediocre RnB music to me. She was relevant for about 5 years and then no cared about her. . .no legend in my book!
bloggergirlz

adding my two cents…toni braxton is NOT a legend…better yet, why would someone thing she is?

also, i wish people would get off of bey’s a$$…she ain’t NO DAMN LEGEND either…i like bey, but these damn bey borderline stalkers are getting outta hand…

Beyonce haters answer me this please cause it must have slipped my mind:

Who made having a big booty something hot and respectable (to a certain extent) and made even white girls want a booty?

Not ho-ish and something vulgar like rappers do either…. be honest

Awww Damn!!!

Forgot James Brown!! I’m a bad Georgian for that one…he’s a major one!!

How about Otis Redding?! He’s a legend in my book. Dying at your prime can aide your legendary status…you don’t get a chance to fall off.

Two EQUALLY great entertainers from two different times.

Notice i say entertainers because neither one of them will make the hair stand up on your arm with their singing.

Don’t you think that Tina’s life story (and Ike) is part of what added to much power to her legacy/imgage. That movie helped her a lot.

She used to blow shyt away (like Christina STILL does) but now she kinds hums her way through it. Last time I heard her live was on SNL and she was AWFUL. I missed her on the American Music awards…

Selena’s ass was unreal. Seriously, it was like, how is that thing attached to her?! She had one of those Buffy the Body booties…that was so huge it looked fake.

yes purep…. mimi is a hummer these days. sad. but i love the 1990 mariah. the rainbow mariah. the emancipation mariah. last album sucked!! i gave it away. it hurt my feelings. i always cop the mimi on the DAY it comes out. even glitter on 9/11. i think my dumb azz was the ONLY one at the record store.

Huh? Video hoes started the booty craze?

No ma’am!

having azz became part of popular culture when Jlo came on the scene.

The thing is, it’s like, what happened?? We know Michael lost his mind, Toni went off to have babies, and Whitney was cracked out…but what is Mimi’s excuse?!?! Why did she go from blowing shyt out to the hum queen? Did her voice just go away? What happened?!?! LOL!!
bloggergirlz

yep…video girls…they had the urban crowd on lock and people starting noticing…don’t forget a lot of the artists were getting play on bet and mtv…therefore the popular culture noticed, even if they weren’t interested at the time

someone looked at j lo one day, noticed she had a$$ and the rest is history…i agree w/ you though…j lo appealed to more people who looked “like” her (or somewhat like her)…before j lo white folks were talking about their butt was too big although they didn’t have one to begin with! you cannot forget about video girls…they played a big part as well (whether or not people want to believe it)…

The first single of this latest cd was pure comedy. I thought to myself, why is this 40 yr old women talkin about “touch my body” and sh!t. That song was so juvenile, I could so hear Jessica Simpson sing that song!

But, she is perpetually 21. Thinking cleavage and short skirts is the only way to be sexy. I don’t relate to that. Her surgically altered stomach gives me the creeps!

What the hell is he smokin? Tina? you bifocal glasses wearing biotch!….that medicore singer isn’t even on the same level as Tina, who IS a ICON!

For a performer to be legendary, they have to go BEYOND eras…they have to TRANSCEND…and they to have done it for YEARS…

That’s Tina Turner…who is as of today and at over 70 years of age…is still selling out HUGE stadiums all over the world…who has shared the stage with legendary luminaries…who not only made the mold…but broke it…

I’m sorry…that’s not Beyonce…she is an outstanding performer…but don’t put her in Tina’s or Aretha’s or HELL even Madonna’s category until she earns it…

Which, as of today…

SHE HASN’T!!!

Kanye needs to close his mouth and hope that 30 years from now folks will still find him relevant…or find him a “cool dusty”…

Because there’s a good chance THAT won’t happen to him!!!

Heads up! Rush and Molloy caught up with Adrien and Beyonce on the red carpet and got some kissing info:

http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2008/12/03/2008-12-03_for_adrien_brody_lip_sync_with_beyonc_se.html

You saw how he hammered that kiss onto Halle Berry at the 2003 Oscars, so you know Adrien Brody dove into his work when it came to making out with BeyoncÃ© in “Cadillac Records.”

Writer/director Darnell Martin admitted at Monday’s premiere that she took some “dramatic license” in devising a scene where record boss Leonard Chess (Brody) locks lips and rolls around on the carpet with heroin-fogged singer Etta James (BeyoncÃ©).

But Brody wasnâ€™t troubled by the historical inaccuracy.

“Let’s just say it wasn’t a deal breaker,” the grinning actor told us. “When I met Etta [the real one], she told me, ‘Leonard and I did not do those things!’ So, yes, it was somewhat embellished. But whatâ€™s wonderful is the truth BeyoncÃ© brings to that moment. That justified it.”

Plus, said Brody, whose girlfriend, Elsa Pataky, was out of earshot, “It is fun, obviously, to kiss BeyoncÃ©. I insisted on a lot of takes.”

BeyoncÃ©, who came to the premiere with husband Jay-Z, allowed that she didnâ€™t find the intimacy repellent.

“It wasnâ€™t so bad,” she said with a faraway smile. “I remember when he kissed Halle Berry. Heâ€™s not shy! Not at all.”

Cedric the Entertainer, who plays bluesman Willie Dixon, admitted his only problem with the film was that “they wrote me out of a scene with BeyoncÃ©.”

Eamonn Walker, who heaped on weight and dropped his British accent to become Howlin’ Wolf, said he identified with the growling singer’s “madness, his obsessiveness and his love of women.”

Jeffrey Wright, who masterfully inhabits Muddy Waters, admitted he couldn’t match the Hoochie Coochie Man’s guitar-pickin’ or alcohol intake: “How am I going to be a hard-drinking man with a 7-year-old and a 3-year-old â€” though they may drive me to drink?”

Despite BeyoncÃ© donating her salary to the Phoenix House rehab program, premiere guests did do a little boozin’ at the after-party at Marquee. Joining cast members like Mos Def, Gabrielle Union and Emmanuelle Chriqui were Leonardo DiCaprio, Diddy, Ne-Yo, John Legend, Kevin Connolly, Akon and Russell Simmons.

I am a music genius…and an avid fan of music…
but I must agree to a degree with Kanye..

Beyonce is definitely amongst the greatest of all times and certainly deserves to be mentioned along side ALL of the great female artists who have come before her…

Hello All! I wonder if Beyonce will look as good as Tina in say, 50 years! How many 69 yr old women look like Tina? Not many because most, not all but most, woman entertainers at one time or other in their lives smoked, drank and indulged in drugs. Tina didn’t. I’m just saying…..

Beyonce the greatest of all times? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

PS I meant women and not woman.
