Kanye West Schools Paparazzi

It appears Kanye West has gone from ranting against the paparazzi to complimenting their work.

Yeezy posted a paparazzo's picture of Rihanna on his blog on Wednesday and used it as an opportunity to critique most photographers' work.

"YO WHY CAN'T ALL PAPARAZZI PHOTOS BE THIS GOOD? WELL OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE MOST CELEBS JUST AREN'T RIHANNA LOL! ... BUT ON THE REAL, THIS PIC IS HARDCORE.

"PEEP THE PERSPECTIVE SHOT OF THE CITY IN THE BACK. SOMETIMES THE PAPS OVEREXPOSE THE LENS OR HAVE THE FLASH TOO HIGH TAKING ALL THE EMOTION OUT OF THE MOMENT. THIS MOMENT IS CAPTURED IN TIME NOW."

So does West take issue with people taking his picture because their photos aren't arty enough?

He didn't stop there, and somehow ended up talking about up-and-coming celebrities in the next sentence. Try this on for size:

"I LOOK AT OUR CURRENT SUPERSTARS LIKE LEGENDS IN THE MAKING...

"LIKE JUSTIN [Timberlake] IS THE NEW MIKE [Jackson] , BEYONCE'S THE NEW TINA TURNER, [Lady] GAGA'S MADONNA, JAY [-Z] IS [Frank] SINATRA... [Lil'] WAYNE IS [Jimi] HENDRIX, THOM YORKE IS [Pink Floyd's] ROGER WATERS, THESE ARE THE CHAMPIONS AND SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED AS SUCH.

"THAT SAID, IT WOULD BE DOPE IF THE PAPS OPERATED WITH THE SAME INTEGRITY AND ATTENTION TO THEIR CRAFT AS THE LEGENDS THEY PHOTOGRAPH..... GOOD JOB ON THIS ONE!"

Insert joke about West's current misdemeanour vandalism and battery charges for allegedly smashing a paparazzo's camera here.

West will play London, England's Wireless Festival in Hyde Park on July 5.
