Two big names in rock are throwing some shade at Kanye West following his Grammy outburst and BRIT Awards performance. Billy Corgan is so annoyed at the rapper that he wants to fight him (and thinks he could win). Liam Gallagher, on the other hand, criticized his recent performance at the British awards show. Corgan and Gallagher are only two of the most recent Yeezy haters as the hip-hop artist has accumulated plenty of others in the past.
According to Spin, Corgan appeared on a morning show in Australia recently where he finally voiced his opinion about the rapper's stage-crashing antics at the Grammys.
"I think it's inappropriate for any artist to take somebody else's moment and make it their own," the Smashing Pumpkins frontman said about West's disagreement with Beck winning Album of the Year over Beyoncé. "In that particular moment you're basically saying that everything that Beck's done to be in that position is negated because in your own mind it's not relevant to you, or your own thing."
Corgan then went on to say that he could take West in a fight and that former Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain would know how to deal with the contemporary disconnect between pop and rock.
"Because rock needs to be free and independent; it doesn't need to imitate pop to survive. That's very telling and negatively impactful to the music business as a whole," he said.
Gallagher also fired off a few jabs at Yeezy on Twitter, calling his performance at the BRIT Awards "utter sh*t."
"@kanyewest ...And you're a million miles away from College Dropout. That's artistry," he added.
Kanye West. Utter Shit. LG x
