It's right up there with people that make statements like "Britney Spears / Justin Bieber / Destinies Child writes his/her/their own music!!" and "Whitney Houstons super bowl performance was the most amazing ever!" Yeah most amazing lip sync job ever.

Musical Genius gets thrown around a lot. Well the musical genius is a very elite group, and if you are going to talk about musical geniuses in popular/modern music, you are pretty much starting at Prince, then moving up from there. Prince has more frikkin genius/ability in his creepy wirey mustache, than Kanye West will ever have.
