AS WE ALL know by now, Kanye West is basically the Marmite of music — you either love him or hate him.
In the past, Liam Gallagher has branded him “utter s***” while the late Lou Reed described his musical output as “majestic and inspiring”.
See? Marmite.
The latest musician to weigh in on Kanye is Blur guitarist Graham Coxon.
In an interview with The Guardian, Coxon was lamenting the state of modern music and when the interviewer brought up Kanye, Coxon did not hold back.
Much like everything related to Kanye West, Coxon’s comments have divided opinion.
There were some who agreed with Coxon…
