Kanye’s New World Order

Kanye West is hardly known for his even-handed reserve, but his latest blog post detailing the current crop of pop stars and the legends they most resemble is enough to suggest the rap star might have had one Hennessy too many.

Maybe you could describe Justin Timberlake as the new Michael Jackson. Possibly, it would not be too greater stretch of the imagination to think of Beyonce as the new Tina Turner. But "Wayne is Hendrix"? As in Lil’ Wayne, with a suitcase with a million dollars inside for a birthday present? As in Jimi Hendrix?

That one pales in comparison, however, to the suggestion that Radiohead’s Thom Yorke is this generation’s Roger Waters. Laugh at Kanye’s New World Order in full here.
