Stephen Colbert Roasts Kanye West

Contemporary artists have fallen into the mainstream deathtrap. These artists are just fine with bandwagoning and recording a song that meets the current criteria. Right now, the criteria only has one requirement: auto-tune. Let's take the artist who is currently at number one at the moment, Kanye West. In a recent quote, Kanye claims, that "I will go down as the voice of this generation of this decade..." However, in Stephen Colbert's opinion, (which I strongly agree with) he is not the voice of this generation. Colbert on his news-parody show, The Colbert Report, harangued West saying, "Sir, you are not the voice of this generation of this decade. In fact, with all the auto-tuning on your records, you're barely the voice of your own albums." Kanye West has lost a lot of street credibility and his performance at Dave Chappelle's block party seems like a thing of the past.

Kanye West should listen to Dead Prez's "Turn Off The Radio" to learn a thing or two and so should you.
