Kanye West Feud: David Crosby Says Rapper Cannot 'Sing, Write Or Play' [VIDEO]
Music legend David Crosby has slammed Kanye West, essentially accusing the controversial rapper as having no musical talent.
Crosby, a founding member of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills and Nash, has nothing good to say about West. The rock star went off on a rant about West in an interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, and he didn't hold back.
"He can neither sing, nor write, nor play," Crosby said, of the rapper. "The thing that bugs me about him is the 'I'm the greatest living rock star.' Somebody needs to drive him over to Stevie Wonder's house right now so he understands what a real one is. Secondly, they should send him all of Ray Charles's catalog so he can learn how to sing."
West has not responded to Crosby's comments, but Cohen did have a very timely quip: "Very good!"
Response on social media has been mixed, with some celebrating Crosby's takedown of West and others being less thrilled with his statements:
Wait til Kanye wakes up & finds out that David Crosby threw shade at him. Especially once he Googles who David Crosby is.

@EW David Crosby-The guy who called blacks "coloreds" and was arrested in NYC for an illegal gun. And, I'm no Kanye booster either.
