Kanye West won two American Music Award albums last night, one for favorite rap/R&B album (”Graduation) and one for favorite rap/R&B performer. He now thinks he’s the next Elvis Presley. Big mistake AMA. Give Kanye any kind of positive encouragement, and it’s a slippery slope into delusional-land. This is what he blurted out, high on his own awesomeness.

I’d like to thank everyone who accepted me trying to break new boundaries in music. It’s our responsibility as musicians to keep pushing each other…We will be the new Beatles, the new [Jimi] Hendrix. I want to be Elvis.” as reports by E!Online
Didn’t Kool Keith officially dub himself the black Elvis a while back? Why does everyone want to be Elvis? How about the next Barry Manilow? Kanye couldn’t write a song as genius as “Copacabana” if he tried.
What do you think? Is Kanye overrated?

This guy just gets worse and worse as time goes by. To be honest, he has many years to go before he can compare himself to the likes of 2Pac & Biggie… LET ALONE Elvis.
I thought that was a badass speach! And…
I want to be the next Bob Saget.
This album is a new direction for Kanye West, and its HOT!
