Kanye's the Most Humble Man on Earth

Filed under: Music Minute > Wacky, Tacky & True > Kanye West

kanye.jpg

In your mind, does Kanye West = music's Michael Jordan?

Well, to Chicago-bred Kanye, that's how he sees himself!

Here's what Kanye had to say in a new interview :

"I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice. It's me settling into that position of just really accepting that it's one thing to say you want to do it and it's another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan."

Sheesh. Watching all those Chicago Bulls games as a kid got to you, eh, Kanye?

Thoughts?

    UGH!! I love Kanye's music but I can't stand him! Ever since he hit it big with his first hit (bird on a wire?) … he's gotten this ego that just ruins him! Between his hissy fits at awards shows it's getting old! You SING … Him comparing himself to Michael Jordan is an INSULT to the work Michael Jordan has put into his WHOLE career not just coming up with songs. Get a life Kanye… Brush the chip off your shoulder.



  10. 10

    Kanye = Douche!!!!!



  11. 11

    that fucking guy.

    I love his music but his ego changes the way I feel when I listen to anything he makes.



  12. 12

    that comment couldn't be farther from the truth.



  13. 13

    fuck that



  14. 14

    shut your mouth kanye. you are so arrogant. i will no longer buy your cds, because you piss me off so much.



  15. 15

    He's HIGHLY overrated, sucks and is more of the Michael Jefferson of this generation. Who is Michael Jefferson? Someone who was known but soon faded into nothingness



  16. 16

    sad fucker



  17. 17

    He's the most arrogant artist out there……I can't stand him!!!



  18. 18

    Ew. He's not that attractive, and His music is just alright. Why does he think he the shit? His arrogance is such a turn off. thats what happens when mothers give there kids over confidence. They turn into concieted pricks like him. May she rest in peace, but damn. He is so annoying.



  19. 19

    THIS is another case of COCK in the motuh! PLEASE STOP!
    FIY someone will always replace you! but the sad case it will be another sorry ass like urself saying their the best



  20. 20

    KANYES KING



  21. 21

    he's a fuckin' niggga……bottom line.



  22. 22

    OMG so annoying, the only song of his I ever liked was "Stronger" til I found out the chorus for that song was made by someone else and has been out for a long time…I can't stand him and his shitty "music"



  23. 23

    Love his music, but what the FUCK?



  24. 24

    He just wants to be like Mike, Perez.

  25. Leah says – reply to this


    25

    I can't stand this guy. He sucks!!



  26. 26

    what a FUCKING douche. is this guy for real?



  27. 27

    that dramaqueen of kanye got the obama fever i guess XD…



  28. 28

    He really needs to get over himself. He is not that amazing, no one is that great, and no one should think THAT highly of themselves!



  29. 29

    i always thought kanye was a conceited little bitch



  30. 30

    End up being like Michael Jordan? What, divorced from a wonderful mother and wife who you had to give half your money, retired from your moneymaking sport, and a compulsive gambler? Yeah, you go Kanye.



  31. 31

    Looks like he has a nice package, though.



  32. 32

    I really cannot stand Kanye West, and hate, i repeat HATE, what he did to one of my fav daft punk songs. I don't like any of his music, and his music does NOT define my generation. god what a complete ass



  33. 33

    How many #1's has he had? He ONLY is as famous as he is bc of his BIG MOUTH. But I love him and his music. BUT HE'S NO MICHAEL JORDAN!! He should read these comments and find out the TRUTH!



  34. 34

    That's the most fucking retarded thing I think he's ever said.



  35. 35

    Kanye hasn't been around long enough to even be settling into that position yet … he's completely disallusioned. Yes, he's popular, and he's pretty original and talented. But his ego is completely unjustified.



  36. 36

    wtf is he wearing. im sorry kanye, but my "voice of the generation" has fashion sense.
    fashion tip numero uno:
    sunglasses only worn when sun is out,not as an acessory.
    flatio tip numero dos:
    that maroon jacket with plaid pants,NO.
    fashion tip numero tres:
    when head is biggest part of the body, nothinn looks good on.



  37. 37

    turd bucket



  38. 38

    KRANKY WEST=BIGGEST OVER-INFLATED DOUCHEBAG IN MUSIC
    Shame on you, Perez, for giving him any column space.



  39. 39

    he is so full of himself.. micheal jackson can make that statement not this douchebag



  40. 40

    Re: Char-Char Binx – not the whole "Bush hates black people" comment?



  41. 41

    big headed motherfucker



  42. 42

    This is just getting a little ridiculous. The man is so full of himself he cant even recognize that there is no one voice of an entire generation let alone a music artist that has done very little to contribute to society - other than some mediocre songs and blind sunglasses.

    Barack Obama will be one voice for this generation, but not the only. Gordon Brown will be one voice, but not the only. Perez Hilton will be a voice, but not the only. Lots of people make up this generation but one singular individual.



  43. 43

    what a fucking retard.



  44. 44

    I WEAR MY FUCKIN SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT BITCHES - KANYE

    …… damn he got you guys



  45. 45

    What an ass! Does he really think he's that great?

  46. exBFF says – reply to this


    46

    and who is he again?

    oh, wait. Did he play Dwayne Wayne on A Different World?



  47. 47

    Eminem is a better rapper than Kanye West.



  48. 48

    voice of this generation?
    UM THINK NOT!!!
    going down as the biggest
    fucking outspoken, non-worthy niggga
    YES!!!



  49. 49

    Kanye is amazing and you guys are just jealous. He and Jordan both do Chicago proud.

    I'm talking ’bout Chi City!



  50. 50

    ohhh pleeeeassseee…
    douche bag
    his music is ok not amazing liike the comparison he making



  51. 51

    This guy is a legend in his own head!!! He is an ass!!!!



  52. 52

    This guy is a complete douche bag!! He really needs to just get over himself.



  53. 53

    what theee, he needs a fucking shrink. someone needs a reality check! fast!



  54. 54

    wow kanye is sooo conceited! get over yourself no one likes an arrogant dick..



  55. 55

    What a fuck face. He will never be in the same class with Michael Jordan. MJ is a very classy, humble, human being and Kanye, is not!!!

  56. shee says – reply to this


    56

    Someone needs to pop that big head of his and fast!



  57. 57

    Kanye has some good songs and has an unique stage pressence, but I must say No. Not even close. Michael Jordan is a legend who has made records of scoring the most points in games, that men today cannot beat. If anything, Michael Jackson should be the one making this comment. Kanye using such an euphenism and relating himself to someone that probably could careless about his opinion, using analogy expression makes him seem arrogant. This allows people to separate the individual from the music and recognize that neither are that great.



  58. 58

    he's a douche but he's doable. i'd fuck his ass.



  59. 59

    I love Kanye but he needs to shut up sometimes. He has amazing music…let it do the talking….please!



  60. 60

    I love Kanye, but someone needs to take him down a notch.



  61. 61

    HATERS!!!
    hate all you want… mans a genius :P

  62. Oshun says – reply to this


    62

    God I hate you kanye. Just please shut the fuck up about how awesome you are. sure you have a few catchy hits, but really you are just a douche who sports too much bling and always raps in the exact same way and all you ever really say is how great you are. You're not the voice of MY generation, thats for sure



  63. 63

    UPPITY COLORED BOY.

    GET OVER YOURSELF, MARY!!!

  64. 64

    Kanye's good… really good… no doubt about it. But promoting himself and getting pissy all the time makes him not good.



  65. 65

    What a douche!



  66. 66

    Art should speak for itself. He is no artist. He has to self-promote because the music isn't good enough. Gold Digger was fun, but it's like the Thong Song, catchy, but pointless. I don't see that as the voice of a generation. Kurt Cobain had something to say, Bob Dylan had something to say. This clown needs to shut the hell up!

    He acts like he is 15 or 20. He's an old man now and needs to take a lesson from the true artists of today who have chilled like Eminem and Jay-Z and even Nas who can let the music speak for itself and know their place in music history is secure.



  67. 67

    He is allowed. Because right now Hip hop only offers shit that makes you think that we still in the late 90's. And they keep coming with the baggy pants, the fake ass ghetto attitude and the gay bashing. Kanye offers something different and that's why I like him. The 70's had the bell bottom pants, the sixties were hippie style, the fifties where Elvis style. Hip hop is stuck in the same shit for almost 20 years. We need change.



  68. 68

    This douche makes me fucking ill.



  69. 69

    I bet his farts smell like roses too….god, hes a good musician but hes an arogant ass.



  70. 70

    That douchebag doesn't speak for me!



  71. 71

    he can be the voice for children whose mothers are too obsessed with their own appearance. for botox and rhinestone addicts. annoying.



  72. 72

    kanye is a piece of shit. his music sucks and he ruined hip hop. as a chicagoan, i hate to see how badly he represents chicago. BOOOO KANYE

  73. plano says – reply to this


    73

    It's a wonder he is able to stand upright.

    How does he ever get into a car?



  74. 74

    ummm…. I don't think of Kanye as the voice of my generation at all… his lyrics suck!

  75. Deke says – reply to this


    75

    Kanye West's only contribution to society will occur the moment he stops breathing.



  76. 76

    Get over yourself douchebag



  77. 77

    Kanye suffers from word vomit…..he has no clue how to be modest and talk like a normal person instead of a douche…

    Shut the fuck up kanye….you have made one good album….graduation….and thats it…..

    tooooo soon for you to be on such an ego trip…..

    FIX IT!



  78. 78

    kanye also said in a new interview that he blames himself for his mother's death. how sad is that?! you can read more about it at www. sizzling.wordpress.com



  79. 79

    sorry i might be in the minority here, but he's not entertaining to me—- his music is overrated and his attitude is underrated



  80. 80

    As far as I'm concerned Kayne can say whatever he wants. HELLO PEOPLE!? Have you not seen the stronger video? Babyboy is SLAMMIN'



  81. 81

    Kanye is going to need a bigger house, I feel like his ego and balls need their own place. What a douche.



  82. 82

    kanye is the man - he is the only one who can get away with it. more! more! more!



  83. 83

    Re: FAGS SHOULD BE SMOKED! – You're still an idiot



  84. 84

    lalalalalalala

    Re: PinkPrincess22 – um, and you are…ah…um……….gay or something?
    pink princess as a name? get a life?



  86. 86

    so deluded, he must be a big pot smoker to think he's anything other than just another musician who will be better remembered for his ego and temper tantrums. there is nothing special about this guy whatsoever.



  87. 87

    He's an ego-fucken-maniac! He's a racist who hates all people who aren't BLACK! I can't stand this shitstain!

  88. Rynne says – reply to this


    88

    Umm…maybe to rap fans. But the majority of music fans can't name a single song of his. So…sorry.



  89. 89

    john lennon, bob marley, freddy mercury, marilyn monroe, elvis.

    those are people who's voices will be heard forever.
    you don't belong in that group of people kanye. get over yourself.
    cock sucker.



  90. 90

    i love when kanye speaks. he says whatever the fuck he wants.

  91. Sauce says – reply to this


    91

    him and spencer pratt need to go designate their own douche island, then live on it, FOREVER!



  92. 92

    IDIOT!



  93. 93

    no one creates their place in history by declaring it with a loud voice. the artist does the work with love and humility and other people decide on the impact it makes.
    if he had a shot at being remembered with adoration in history… he blew it, because all anyone will remember is his over-inflated self important opinion of himself. he is insufferable. all of these bumptious artists today need a reality check, but none of them are as arrogant as he is. he will go down in history as the MOST conceited jack ass of our time.



  94. 94

    k WOWOWOOWW …
    who the hellll does that guy think he is? just cause hes some rap singer that means that all of the sudden that he's somekind of hero? No one 50 from now is going to think back to the 21 century thinking 'oh yah..thats when the legendary Kanye West was out and about' umm NO! He's on the long list of fous who think they're the shit..



  95. 95

    I hate this guy, you ARE NOT the voice of our generation, your songs lately fucking SUCK, and if you continue with your conceited bullshit you're gonna be out of work you STUPID ASSHOLE



  96. 96

    Re: Nelly_In_SJ – omgee lol i was thinking that too!!



  97. 97

    hahaha…seriously…is he for real??? The voice of this generation…what generation is that?? He'll be a footnote in the big book of FADS in 10 years.
    As to compare himself to Jordan…haha…Maybe Oj Simpson.



  98. 98

    a bit delusional.
    eminem is far more better rapper than him.
    money,fame and power is all over his head and i dont think he can handle it.



  99. 99

    Holy crap. One, he's NOT representing my voice and two, is there enough room on this planet for his ego?! Wow. This just makes me dislike him even more…



  100. 100

    He is such an asshole.
