Kanye West is coming for you, Bob Ezrin.
The rapper fired back at the producer, who recently posted a critique of West in his newsletter, late on Tuesday.
“Unlike other creators in his genre like Jay-Z, Tupac, Biggie or even M.C. Hammer for that matter, it’s unlikely that we’ll be quoting too many of Kanye’s songs 20 years from now,” Ezrin wrote. ""He didn’t open up new avenues of public discourse like NWA ... or even meaningfully and memorably address social issues through his music like Marshall, Macklemore and Kendrick.”

Ezrin is most known for his work with rockers like Lou Reed and Alice Cooper.
Naturally, West didn't care for Ezrin's opinion, tweeting directly at the producer.

Aaaand then he transitioned into a not-so-subtle dig at Taylor Swift.
