 QUOTE NEW YORK - Kanye West, with a crown of thorns atop his head, poses as Jesus Christ on the cover of the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone. The outspoken rapper defends his brash attitude inside the magazine's pages, on newsstands Friday. He is also pictured posing as Muhammad Ali. "In America, they want you to accomplish these great feats, to pull off these David Copperfield-type stunts," he says. "You want me to be great, but you don't ever want me to say I'm great?" West also says his hit song "Gold Digger" was the best song last year and that it should have been nominated for the Grammy's best rap song category: "That's a gimme Grammy." Nevertheless, the 27-year-old is nominated for eight awards, including album of the year for his sophomore album, "Late Registration." The Grammys will be presented Feb. 8. West has always been forthright in saying what he feels, most famously when he said " George Bush doesn't care about black people" during a telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims. "If I was more complacent and I let things slide, my life would be easier, but you all wouldn't be as entertained," he says. "My misery is your pleasure." The strangest tangent of the Rolling Stone story, however, is when West says he's addicted to pornography. He remembers first seeing his father's Playboy magazine when he was 5 years old. "Right then," West says, laughing, "it was like, `Houston, we have a problem.'" In the interview, he doesn't seem as ugly as a person as he is.

Way to be humble. QUOTE "If I was more complacent and I let things slide, my life would be easier, but you all wouldn't be as entertained," he says. "My misery is your pleasure." Wow. He acts like the world wouldn't be the same without him. |

He may need to be a bit more humble. But, I think he may just be having fun with it. I ultimately like the guy. Come on, he doesn't read cue cards.

^ Hahaha.
Yea, Kanye's pretty cool most of the time. The only time I was really "ehh" about him was during that Katrina interview...cause like, as much as I hate Dubya, I highly doubt that the reason that there was such a delay in the aid after the hurricane was purely because there were African-Americans in the area. Meh. But his songs are neat. ^^ He has every right to think his music's great, and I do detect a bit of jokiness (that's not a word, don't use it please - I'm not a leader, I'm a follower) in his tone. |

The whole Hurricane Katrina thing was HILARIOUS. The look on Mike Myer's face...priceless.
I don't know, I don't have a problem with him, despite his obvious arrogance. |

i wonder if the cover will be pulled because some people might be all "jesus isn't black! this is a travesty!"

Well. I must say this a side of KanYe I haven't seen. I've always thought he's a cocky self-loving a-hole. But until today, I never really saw him come out and say that he thought he was great. I don't know, its weird. It's like the fact that he acctually came out and said(with what appears to be a bit of a joke)that he likes himself makes it different for me. I guess I just appreciate him acknowledging what I've seen him to be. I mean, if you're going to be mean, rude, or in his case, on a pedestal at least come out and say it. Either way though, I still don't think he's a genius. His music is pretty good but I'm still not rushing out to buy his CDs.
As for the Jesus picture. Some people are gonna have a field day with this. I will give him credit for taking a bold step. Although, coming from KanYe, it doesn't surprise me that he'd do something like this. He seems to enjoy having people a little riled up.

Common metaphorically refers to himself as Jesus all the time.

^How would it be retarded?
It's supposed to be like "The Passion of the Christ," but the interview was about Kanye's passion, thus, "The Passion of Kanye West" |

I like Kanye's songs. He's a good music artist I"ll give ya that but c'mon don't ya think he's being a little TOO conceited? there's a way to be confident but making it sound like the world will be nothing without him is just a little overboard.
Although ... kudos to him for definitely knowing how to get some attention LOL |
