...and he'll voice your shit too whether you agree or not.
"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." -Kanye West, The Associated Press
Our favorite Rap Napoleon won't be considered the voice of shit until he turns off that damn Auto-Tune. Can you believe the nerve on this twisted little nigga? I haven't heard Kanye's voice since before the "Lollipop" remix. As far as I can tell, he sounds like T-Pain and draws divine Jeezian inspiration for his lyrics.
Perhaps Kanye is on his way to being the voice coming from the padded cell next to Katt Williams'. Otherwise, I got nothin'.
Living and dying for the spotlight doesn't make one an authority on anything. I can step out to the curb right now and find an attention-hungry dopefiend who wants an ear to lean on almost as badly as he does the junk. Be assured that no one seeks any of this man's mentorship, nor would the block consider him a fair representation of community life.
He just like to talk. Sometimes we listen, as it can be quite entertaining to hear him go off about how he had the baddest gators back in '73 and how great sex was before condoms became mandatory.
I have no numbers to support this, but I think more people look at Mr. West as highly-entertaining gossip blog fodder than they do a mentor of any kind. The kids who consider Kanye a fair representation of themselves are either currently throwing a public temper tantrum or are on a barbiturate break from doing so.
