It has been reported that Kanye West is planning on releasing a tribute album to the late David Bowie.
Why we should stop this?
David Bowie was a man who stood for innovation, originality and a career crafted from ground breaking song writing and reinvention.
Kanye West is a man whose fame is based on taking others wor (Gold digger, that dreadful Bohemian Rhapsody etc.) and 'making it his own'.
I have no issues with anyone having individual artistic expression; that's what I live for as a musician. But there is a vast difference between creating something and ruining something that pre-exists.
Please share and sign to stop the Goblin King's legacy being remembered by the children of the future as being 'some old tune that Kanye used'

I am truly stunned by the way this has taken off. This momentum belongs entirely to those of you who refuse to see such a legacy tarnished. It is clear that I am not the only one who feels this way.

Don't know if a rock singer has ever tried to rap or hip hop , why does he keep trying to cover rock true artists?
Categorically,absolutely NO but will it not be David's family's decision anyway!
Hopefully copyright law will prevent that talentless twonk from going anywhere near Saint David's music.
In the name of decency, Bowie's musical integrity and the sake of genuinely creative and talented musicians of the future - please don't let this embarrassment of an artist make this album !
Stop this abhorrent attempt at blatant bandwagonning immediately . Has the man no decency or respect for one of the greatest icons the world has ever seen less than 1 week after his death.
This cannot happen as Kanye is a useless musician who will butcher Bowie's music for his own gains.
STOP!

So, wait, he wants to use all Bowie's songs to make himself a ton of money? Haven't we heard and seen enough of the magpie?
