COCKY WEST: 'I SHOULD BE IN THE BIBLE'

Cocky rap star KANYE WEST is calling for a revised edition of THE BIBLE, because he thinks he should be a character in it.

The JESUS WALKS hitmaker, who picked up three Grammy Awards last night (08FEB06), feels sure he'd be "a griot" (West African storyteller) in a modern Bible.

He says, "I bring up historical subjects in a way that makes kids want to learn about them. I'm an inspirational speaker.

"I changed the sound of music more than one time... For all those reasons, I'd be a part of the Bible. I'm definitely in the history books already."

who does this ninja think he is?

[rainbowish]

one word: crazy.

[*tweeak*]

Well that's repulsive. I hate people. Above all, I hate arrogant people. Drives me f**king nuts. Good for a laugh, though.

[*Programmer*]

k that's crossing the line....he in no way ammounts to being in the book...somone's needs to bitch smack him down and give him a reality check...seriously the guy is full of himself..

[rochelley-o]

ermm .. okay.
i think someone`s getting a little too full of himself.

[The_AZN_Godfathe...]

I've been hearing a lot about Kanye recently.

No Kanye, that's enough.

[technicolour]

He needs to get off his pedastool and get a taste of the real world.

Guys too full of himself, and his damn pride is going to catch up with him, and I hope very soon. >:(

[gvoxford]

*le sigh, i'm losing hope for him...

[*lil_chubby_cheeks2*]

dudeeeeeee
kanye just needs to chillax, mann.

"I'm definitely in the history books already."
MHMM SURE

[ikn0wurm0m]

he could be a griot of todays age..I mean why are all the other people in the bible? Alot of them were just common people who knew jesus, he speaks about jesus and god so why shouldnt he be a griot in the bible? Maybe not a bible u would read in church and he does have a point on how he brings god into some kids..Not all but a select few who worship him. If an archbishop can revise the bible to "todays" slingo then maybe they could add him in it. Not him but you know just soemoen who has his name since in the new one they changed the names of alot of people.

but iono he is kinda crazy

[AngryBaby]

He says, "I bring up historical subjects in a way that makes kids want to learn about them. I'm an inspirational speaker.

not really.

[Teesa]

^Lol.
Wow..I can't believe someone would actually say such things. He is too full of himself, it's incredible. Not a big fan of him now, I must say.

[*mzkandi*]

No comment.

[*Zatanna*]

When men are most sure and arrogant, they are commonly the most mistaken, and have then given views to passion, without that proper deliberation and suspense which can alone secure them from the grossest absurdities.

--- David Hume

I really don't think I need to add to that.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

ummm wow cocky biitch.

[fameONE]

He knows what he's doing.

Ok, so half the world is hatin' on Ye and the other half is scratching their heads trying to justify their support for his actions.

He backs up the bullshit with classics.

But, I think he knows da,m well that his wild antics put moeny in his pocket. He knows whassup.

[*Zatanna*]

Perhaps that's true Brandon. (Or more than perhaps, I admit to not knowing too much about Kanye West).

I don't think there's any doubt about his intelligence and savvy, I just find this to be on the disrespectful side. I don't care what his motivations are. Sorry.

[EddieV]

You never know. This could be the second coming.

[Mr. Slowjamz]

......wow look at what the entertainment business can do to you ....i mean it killed 74 people in the philippines right ?.......sigh ....life .

[Heathasm]

Perhaps that's true Brandon.  (Or more than perhaps, I admit to not knowing too much about Kanye West).

I don't think there's any doubt about his intelligence and savvy, I just find this to be on the disrespectful side.  I don't care what his motivations are.  Sorry.

i agree
he either has no morals or respect, or really does think he's the guy he says he is
neither one has very high standards in my book

[*Weird addiction*]

He's insane. Fcuking insane.

[misoshiru]

what an ass.

[-lana]

one word: crazy.

haha, yeah, i agree.

[lilliannnn]

http://contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mn...ible_09_02_2006
who does this ninja think he is?

Jesus?


I don't like KanYe as a person and never have. He's an ass. But, I continue to love him for his music, his sense of style, etc.

He's like the popular group at school who everyone hates but you still love them and watch their every move.

[mylittleMiracle]

crazy man-3-

[Paradox of Life]

Well that's repulsive. I hate people. Above all, I hate arrogant people. Drives me f**king nuts. Good for a laugh, though.

Agreed.

Anyway .. Kanye West is going down the tubes. Just like Tom Cruise.

[xquizit]

Kanye says some of the dumbest shiet.

[De112]

ahaha this fools a slab. kid think he Jesus now.

[NoSex]

Classic. This guy is cooler every day.

He shouldn't be in the Bible, he should be the entire Bible.

[mzbbc]

pretty damn cocky.

[mocassinsx29]

was he being sarcastic? i can't imagine anyone being that cocky, especially if they knew they were being recorded

[JustAnotherTeena...]

Wow. Someone's a little full of himself. Those kinds of things really disgust me.

[Midnight Faerie]

... And I thought it was bad when he posed as Jesus on the Rolling Stone.

I've got one word for you, Kanye: therapy.

[george_fred]

That's sad. I used to like him and everything. Now he's just..*gags*

[inlonelinessidie]

He's just so full of himself.

[*nightmare4taki*]

I love his music, and he keeps doing it big but I don't even consider him the Jesus of hip-hop.

Brandon pretty much summed it up correctly though, attention thats it. First the George Bush, then he is supposed to play Jesus, and now this, it all adds up to revenue in his pocket.

[fameONE]

I should be in the Holy Quaran.

Ye's a trip.

[*chaneun*]

He's probably just being really cocky/sarcastic.

[fameONE]

He's probably just being really cocky/sarcastic.

I think that's the point. It brings more attention to him. All eyes are on KanYe and everyone is discussing his actions (like now). Before you know it, he collabs with a hiphop great or drops another classic and he's in the running for another 8 grammys.

Damn, he's winning this chess game.

[racoons > you]

exactly what i was about to say.

you have to maintain the attention between albums, and evidently, he's pretty damn good at it.

honestly, though.

[sprezzatura]

I should be in the Bible too. [/sarcasm]

Seriously, that's crazy.

[KissMe2408]

Are you serious?
Man...Kanye needs to get off that high horse of his

[xmkaex]

..too cocky

[*CrackedRearView*]

I don't care if this latest antic is strategic or not, one word comes to mind:

douchebag.

[fameONE]

He's not raping young girls like R. Kelly.

He's not beating his wife like Brett Favre.

He's not cheating on his wife like Kobe.

He's not running sweatshops like whatsherface.

Big whoop. I love the controversy.

[LuvsDogs387]

... what an ass.

Hes let fame get to his head or hes smoking something. How self centered and pretensious of him to say, or even think, something like that

[*CrackedRearView*]

He's not raping young girls like R. Kelly.

He's not beating his wife like Brett Favre.

He's not cheating on his wife like Kobe.

He's not running sweatshops like whatsherface.

Big whoop. I love the controversy.

He's deliberately defaming a good majority of the population's religion for shock value, however.

And go figure it's Christianity.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

It's not like he does anything to contribute to the world either...

[AceShadows]

Stupid idiot. Gosh !

[liloandstitchx3]

You sure that's real?

[`Kiwi]

♥ ♥ ♥
*giggles* Thats hilarious.
+ + +

[*Azarel*]

It's not like he does anything to contribute to the world either...

Well, are you?

[pshaa.shauna]

I'm a bit skeptical about this being true...

[glit_gal]

^ i wouldn't be surprised if it was considering all the other stuff he's said in the past.

[*hello moto*]

i just don't like arrogance.

[BannanaQ]

I thought Roy Jones Jr., Floyd Mayweather, and specially Zab Judah who can't even back his ish up were cocky. But I guess this is a different cocky. This is ignorant cocky...


blow dont suck your sig and the message under your avatar cracks me up!

[racoons > you]

It's not like he does anything to contribute to the world either...

so entertaining millions of people has no value to it whatsoever?

He's deliberately defaming a good majority of the population's religion for shock value, however.

And go figure it's Christianity.

so? he's perfectly entitled to. you would think, given the religion's ideals, that the christian majority woul just rise above it. turn another cheek, and so forth

[AngryBaby]

why are you guys arguing about him? sure he hasnt beatin' wife or been with young girls or ran sweat shops. but the topic at hand is.....he's kinda an ass. personally my opinion is that there were plenty of artist that achieved as much and more than he has. and have not felt the need to be like he is now. which to me, is more respectable. i mean, you didnt even win album of the year, so you'd think he'd get a little more subtle.

the way i feel about it is " yeah, shutup and just make another record" i can care less about your life.

but for a guy that spit about jesus, you'd think he'd know posing as him is a little....blasphemous. i doubt jesus is up there like "thats my dog!"

[Retrogressive]

Well that's repulsive. I hate people. Above all, I hate arrogant people. Drives me f**king nuts. Good for a laugh, though.

I fucking hate all people too.
I can't believe he said that.
What a publicity gimick.

[*CrackedRearView*]

so? he's perfectly entitled to. you would think, given the religion's ideals, that the christian majority woul just rise above it. turn another cheek, and so forth

I never said he wasn't entitled to a defamation of the Christian religion. Rather, I was simply pointing out why this makes him, as I stated earlier, a douchebag.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

blow dont suck your sig and the message under your avatar cracks me up!

Thank you. Name = Yen. Yours?

so entertaining millions of people has no value to it whatsoever?
so? he's perfectly entitled to. you would think, given the religion's ideals, that the christian majority woul just rise above it. turn another cheek, and so forth

I mean in a charitable way. For example, at least donating money? If he has, it's probably not as much as Oprah, and she never compared herself to Jesus.

[vash1530]

tsk tsk tsk Kanye...once again tarnishin tha West family name.....i mean personally ic ud care less but this iz gonna piss ppl off.....i dont think our friend kanye's fame and fortune will be that long-lived....

[MalamaMulisha]

Well my respect for him pretty much has
slipped down... ALOT.
What a stupid thing to say
idiot.

[KrunkMuzik]

I don't think the man meant it. Im sure he was joking. I still respect him.

[fameONE]

THis news story isn't real.

4 pages of arguing about someone who has no clue who we are and the nes story isn't real.

[vash1530]

o....whatever...

[synthase]

hey Kanye; you cant rule the world!

[yo pusha]

the news story is real where is your proof
however maybe it is taken out of context

[1--GIRL]

oh puh-leeze.

[fameONE]

however maybe it is taken out of context

Thats what I meant, but I just rushed through my response.

[WHOngos144]

All right. Kanye needs to shut up.

[MalamaMulisha]

I don't reckon its his fault for the RS cover
It WAS RS who put it like that.
But then again, he could have said no.
Oh well. No ones perfect,
And i do still respect him.

[starlette]

I just think he wants to be assasinated like Tupac, cuz that is the direction hes going for. If I had a gun and I wouldn't get put in jail, I'd shoot him. But oh the repercussions.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

LOL that made me laugh

[*swtcherriipie*]

I cant stand him!!!!!!!!! Hes REPULSIVE !!!

[banana_jamma]

if he loved jesus as much as he said he did in his song.
he wouldn't have made that statement.

good laugh i had there ;)

[much2muse]

not really.

exactly. he hasn't made me want to learn about squat. looks like someones getting vain.

[slipper]

& it goes downhill from here..

[aubbob]

hes outta control.

[*ranniel*]

Kanye West is a dumbass now. I don't even like his song now, I can name 5 better songs than his 'gold digger'. btw, Jamie Fox sounds constipated in that song, like hes taking a shiet.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

if he loved jesus as much as he said he did in his song.
he wouldn't have made that statement.

good laugh i had there ;)

I agree. If he is as religious as he says, he would've seen that tiny passage in the bible that said nothing else can be added to it.

[sheridan_whitesi...]

Imagine how sweet a Kanye bible would be. I'd definitely buy one. I think he would make a good Jesus.

[*ranniel*]

Hhahaha, your funny ^

[Looow]

this fool is crazy is he's serious.

[miss barnes]

he's so crazy..but ya gotta love him..

[lovely_mystery]

If he invents a time machine and goes back about a million years, he could have a chance.

[ecargnmyst]

ew

no

lost my respect
