Following his highly successful and equally controversial Glastonbury Festival, Kanye West rather received an unfavorable comment from Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor.
While the American metal band soloist did not specifically dissed West, instead he just reacted to the rapper's statement claiming that he's the best rock star alive, many of West's fans immediately defended him and throws shade at the Taylor.
Taylor on the other hand finds all the drama really funny. In an interview with Billboard to promote his rant-laden third book, "You're Making Me Hate You," the Stone Sour and Slipknot frontman gladly talked about his rant and how he reacted to Kanye West's fans who are now throwing shade at him.
"Kanye, you are not -- not -- the greatest living rock star of all time. The fact that you had to tell people that kinda says it all. You remind me of the guy who bras about p---y -- they never get as much as they brag about. Stop it!"
The above statement by Corey Taylor immediately created a frenzy over the music world.
While Taylor admitted that he hasn't heard from West yet, the rapper's fans have engaged in a brutal attack which he believes is "funny."
"It's so funny, man; It was like one little comment and now everybody's talking about it and it's just getting funnier and funnier," said Taylor, who's currently on a book tour doing both signings and spoken word/music performances.
"The first day everybody was going, 'Well, y'know, (West) has more Grammys than Slipknot has albums. I'm like, 'Yeah, you just made my point for me. Getting a Grammy is like getting a Teen Choice Award. Figure it out.' And then the big thing online is these weird little armchair academics who are like, 'Well, if you really break it down, sorry Corey, but Kanye really is the greatest living rock star.' And I'm like, 'You an stop right there because you just destroyed your credibility. If you're gonna tell me (that) with Keith Richards still alive, with David Bowie still alive, with Paul McCartney still alive that there's even a comparison to Kanye West, then you just need to shut up and never try to say anything smart ever again."
And it's not only Kanye that he dissed, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor also called out Fallout boy for having "the nerve" to call its 2013 album "Save Rock and Roll."
"I've just gotten to the point in my life where I"m tired of holding back," Taylor explained. "It's like, 'Man, I've just got to say something, even just to get it off my chest,' and it feels like people respond to it, whether it's positive or negative. My biggest worry was that it would come off too angry and people wouldn't see the humor, but I think after all these years people understand my sense of humor. It's pretty dark, but they get it. I'm just trying to get everybody to laugh with me."
