A few hours ago, a good amount of people had no idea who Canadian producer Bob Ezrin was. That was until Kanye West dragged him on Twitter over a letter that Ezrin wrote about 'Ye and his role in hip-hop. In the letter, Ezrin wrote, "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." Quite a hot take. You can read Ezrin's full letter here, if you so please.
