Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher has always been outspoken, but no one in the industry is safe from his latest rant—except Kanye. In a new interview with Esquire for their December cover, the famed rocker laments about pretty much everyone in the music industry today. "Fame's wasted on these cunts today." His main grievance seems to be with pop music in general. "Does anybody give a fuck about what any of these current pop stars are up to?"

“Who gives a shit what fucking One Direction do? Cocksuckers, all of them in rehab by the time they’re 30. Who gives a shit what Ellie Goulding is up to? Really? Adele, what? Blows my fucking mind. It blows my fucking mind. Nobody cares!” Gallagher doesn't leave his genre of rock unscathed either. "This new generation of rock stars, they look great: Alex Turner, Miles Cane, the guys from Royal Blood."

There is one person that he does feel is worthy of fame, though. “Bar Kanye. You watch him on the MTV Awards and you think, ‘You can fucking stay, you’re alright.'” Clearly, Kanye is universal, but it seems like Gallagher only makes headlines when he's trashing others.
