Sorry Kanye fans...but he really is an idiot. He has this twisted sense in his head of how the world views him. His flow as always been lackluster, his lyrics always average, his production usually good. Of course his new music sucks 2 no end. Wack vocals, wack lyrics, wack production. So on top of all that, he still manages 2 make ridiculous comments about how great he is why his music is hitting an all time low. Read and be annoyed...
Kanye West says he's 'voice of this generation'

Kanye West is to music what Michael Jordan was to basketball — at least that's what West thinks, in his humble estimation.
"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," he said in an interview on Wednesday. "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."
The Grammy-winning rapper-producer said Justin Timberlake had a chance to be music's MVP, but hasn't put out enough material. (Timberlake's last album was in 2006, while West released a CD last year and is releasing his latest — "808s and Heartbreak" — on Nov. 24.)
"There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on vacation, so when Justin went on vacation I made albums," he said. "And it just came out to be that."
