That's the headline of this story. Just when you think Kanye couldn't get cockier, he's posing as the scourged Christ just before crucifixion on the cover of one of America's most popular magazines.
Congratulations, Kanye. You've just solidified my vow never to buy your music. It's not that you don't have talent; you do. It's not that you aren't having a positive influence on rap's tarnished image; you are. But you can't tell me white people introduced crack into black communities to kill them off, or that white people introduced AIDS into Africa to kill them off, or that you know George Bush doesn't care about black people and expect me to keep a straight face. (Click here and scroll down to "political views.") Do I respect your gifts? Yes. But many times, you are sublimely ridiculous.

Kanye?....What's a Kanye? And why, for the love of God and all that is Holy, Good and even Neat do we care?
As to the "talent" portion of the programme: I can sample music written by people who are far superior to me in talent and grace, then bodge something together that sounds pretty nice. That's not talent so much as it is the sort of workmanship one might spot on the Ford assembly line.
As for Mr. West's "political views," one might just as easily have opened the top of his skull and poured in bile and hate. Those views that are novel are not true and those that are not new are patently false.
Jesus wept.
Amen, Snarky!
Rapier wit. I love you all to bits.
