Look On My Works, Ye Mighty, And Despair

This from entertainer Kanye West, whom some of you may even have heard of:

“I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade…

…Because I have sacrificed real life to be a celebrity and to give this art to people, which is great.”

We are not worthy.

    I’ve heard of him. Isn’t he a singer? I wasn’t aware he was so incredibly full of himself, though. Then again, I don’t really know anything about him.

  3. Kanye’s the guy who became infamous during the fundraising broadcasts in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. While standing next to a serious-faced Mike Myers, Kanye famously looked into the camera and said, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”

    Video here:

    Myers’s reaction to Kanye’s statement is hilarious.

    Ah, that was Kanye? The dude can barely put together a coherent sentence. He lost me about five seconds into his rant.

    In other news, Mike Myers does not do serious well. I keep waiting for him to say “Party on!” or break into a ridiculous Scottish accent.
