that interview is hillarious - "stop it!!! im talking!!!"
i dont know how kanye is in person. ive never met him. but as far as the image hes portraying to the media - is a cocky prepy superstar. but at the end of the day, its great publicity, its selling and kanye knows it. he goes around acting like hes god and its gonna create a buzz everywhere he goes. some'll hate him but alot of ppl gravitate to characters like this, especially when it could be said that he backs it up. i personally dont think he backs it up. hes not a horrible mc but hes not all that good, and thats where his whole little arrogant talk and act comes into play. hes got some skill, says hes the lord of rap, and ppl buy into it and believe him. especially when these are the same ppl that own nelly and chingy's cds. they hear kanye and think, "wow, maybe this guy is a great"
its like the guy who talks alot while he plays ball, and even though you can see hes not that good, ppl just believe hes good, and'll pick him and be intimdated by him, simply cause of his big talk (especially if its a black guy playing with a bunch of white kids... lol)
