After Pink Floyd producer Bob Ezrin criticised Kanye West's "egomaniacal tantrums and tasteless grandstanding," West has unleashed a string of angry tweets asking Ezrin to "never speak in public again."

In a blog post for the Lefsetz Letter, Ezrin - who has worked as a producer with the likes of Pink Floyd, Lou Reed and Alice Cooper - said of Yeezy, "He didn’t open up new avenues of public discourse like NWA, or introduce the world to a new art form like Grandmaster Flash, or even meaningfully and memorably address social issues through his music like Marshall, Macklemore and Kendrick."

He continued, "Kanye’s greatest achievements have been in the form of excessive behavior, egomaniacal tantrums and tasteless grandstanding. What he is a true artist at is living his life out loud – and shoving it down the throats of the rest of us whether we give a shit or not. He’s like that flasher who interrupts a critical game by running naked across the field. Is that art???"

Kanye didn't take kindly to Ezrin's diatribe. Taking to Twitter in the early hours of this morning (24 February), he said, "Has anybody ever heard of Bob Ezrin??? What the fuck does he know about rap… I’m tired of old people that have no connection with anything trying to comment on music!"

He added, "Do something relevant… Please don’t speak on me bro ever again!!! Your kids are ashamed of their dad… Sorry for speaking about kids… but could you imagine if you were Bob Ezrin’s kids… I’m so sorry for them… I will send them free Yeezys to make up for the embarrassment that you have caused your family!"

See Kanye's full Twitter response below. That's Ezrin told.
