More Kanye West
US rapper has praised Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor for making music “from the heart.”
West's comments about Reznor came during his headlining appearance at the Virgin Mobile Festival in Baltimore last Sunday (August 10th).
As with the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago the weekend before, West and Nine Inch Nails were both scheduled at the same time on different stages at the event.
West told the crowd in Baltimore that he wasn't concerned, however.
"It's not a black-or-white thing, it's not a rap-or-rock-and-roll thing. It's a good-music thing,” he said. “We jam about good things from the heart. How can you pick between me and Trent Reznor?"

Hear that? Hip Hop Artist. He is not an ignorant dumbass, like the posters above, he is not just a quote on quote ’’rapper’’, he is a hip hop ARTIST. He makes art. He produces, he writes, he performs. & Anyone who ha
View 1 Reply- wn or All Falls Down or even "Everything I Am" will know that he puts thought & time into creating his pieces of art. That’’s right ’’pieces of art’’. & I challenge you to lock yourself in your room & try to write phrase more honest & heart-felt than: "It seems we living the American dream, the people highest up, got the lowest self-esteem. The prettiest people will do the uglie
- Hah Kanye praising Trent? That’s good but I frankly cannot see Kanye comparing himself to Trent. Like the first comment, its a bit of an insult!
