David Crosby has some choice words for Kanye West.
A fan recently asked the legendary rocker via Twitter how he felt about Yeezus calling himself the “greatest living rock star on the planet” during his headlining set at Glastonbury. Croz did not hold back.

@adamweiler_ as I said ..he can't write , sing , or play At all He is an egomaniac He is dumb as a post He creates nothing Helps no one— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) July 9, 2015
Welp.
This isn't the first time Crosby's been asked about the rapper. He previously called West "an idiot and a poser" with "no talent at all" back in March.
After his most recent tweet, Crosby took another shot -- but this time it was toward the rap genre as a whole. When prompted by another user who said rappers were like "poets use words like drums,” also calling the genre “complex” and “ultra-musical,” Crosby tweeted a response.
@ThePeterCase @BarkingPumpkinX @thatkidtheo Seems like percussive poetry to me too but Not very good poetry Mostly very bad poetry— David Crosby (@thedavidcrosby) July 10, 2015
We’re just going to point out the obvious here: If you don’t like rap to begin with, you’re probably not going to like Kanye West's music, right? And if you don’t like rap, it’s probably difficult to accept that West actually is one of the most influential and successful artists of his generation. But hey, Crosby is a legendary artist in his own right with the freedom to say whatever he wants about music.
