Legendary folk singer David Crosby really does not like Kanye West. It has been nearly two years since the rapper first called himself the “number one rock star on the planet,” but after he repeated that claim last month at Glastonbury — and someone alerted Crosby of that fact on Twitter this week — he took the opportunity to tell the world how he really feels about West:
@adamweiler_ as I said ..he can't write , sing , or play
At all
He is an egomaniac
He is dumb as a post
He creates nothing
Helps no one

When one of his followers tried to make the case for West’s talent, Crosby proceeded to dismiss the rap genre altogether:
@ThePeterCase @BarkingPumpkinX @thatkidtheo
Seems like percussive poetry to me too but
Not very good poetry
Mostly very bad poetry

But the best moment of this bizarre saga came when someone took some of West’s lyrics from “No Church in the Wild” and made it look like they were written by Crosby:

Needless to say, he was not amused:
