    there is a fine line between admirable ambition & unforgivable hubris.

    God, please humble this guy already...

    He's got brass balls, for sure, but this may ruffle some feathers.

    especially with fans/critics that REMEMBER Stevie's early stuff, not just "part time lover"

    I appreciate the dude loves rocking some painfully mad amounts of self-esteem and all that, but Kanye is talking a bit of isht there.

    This KEY right here. Yeah, dude is being pompous as HELL, but you don't think some 40-50 somethings who feel embarassingly "out of touch" with youth music are gonna read that and go pick up the album? "Hmmm...the NEW 'Stevie Wonder,' uh?? I'm gonna give this a try."



    More copies sold.



    I'll bet ya.

    How can dudes even be mad?

    He's the most entertaining figure in rap--his whole life is a performance.

    I can't believe the way some of y'all let your feathers get ruffled.

    No he did not just say he's on Stevie's level!
