Washington
(ANI):
Kanye
West
has
urged
his
fellow
music
artists
to
work
extremely
hard
to
become
as
legendary
as
The
Beatles.
At
the
2008
American
Music
Awards
on
Nov23,
08,
the
rapper
took
the
stage
to
accept
his
award
for
Favourite
Rap/Hip-Hop
Album,
reports
Contactmusic.
While
receiving
the
award,
he
said:
"I
want
to
thank
everybody
who
accepted
me
trying
to
break
new
boundaries
in
music.
I
wake
up
in
the
morning
and
just
think
about
what
stereotypes
I
want
to
break
and
we
push
the
envelope
with
the
last
album,
with
Stronger,
with
records
they
thought
wouldn't
play
on
urban
radio.
"And
it's
our
responsibility
as
musicians
to
keep
pushing
each
other
and
keep
competing
with
each
other.
It's
a
really
great
competition.
I
see
artists
like
Beyonce,
Alicia
Keys,
Rihanna,
Chris
Brown,
Chris
Martin
all
in
the
dame
music.
And
we're
going
to
push
music
to
the
point
where
it
was
like
in
the
60s
in
the
70s
where
you
talk
about
Led
Zeppelin
and
Hendrix
and
The
Beatles
-
we
will
be
the
new
Beatles,
the
new
Hendrix."
