Kanye calls himself 'The voice of this generation' (LOL) Kanye West says he's 'voice of this generation'
By LOUISE DIXON, Associated Press Writer Louise Dixon, Associated Press Writer 1 hr 56 mins ago LONDON – Kanye West is to music what Michael Jordan was to basketball — at least that's what West thinks, in his humble estimation. "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," he said in an interview on Wednesday. "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." The Grammy-winning rapper-producer said Justin Timberlake had a chance to be music's MVP, but hasn't put out enough material. (Timberlake's last album was in 2006, while West released a CD last year and is releasing his latest — "808s and Heartbreak" — on Nov. 24.) "There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on vacation, so when Justin went on vacation I made albums," he said. "And it just came out to be that." West, 31, said life has been difficult since his mother's death. Donda West died last November after having plastic surgery. "I'm just going through balancing that. And I always used to have that support system, you know. My mom would be there; no matter what, she was there before everything," he said. "We were together for like 30 years. And you know now when I'm on that stage and I look out and I say, 'What am I going to do with the rest of my life?' Like when does a real life start?' Because I have sacrificed real life to be a celebrity and to give this art to people, which is great. It is great that I was able to do that, I'm not trying to shun that in any way, but it's definitely a Catch-22 and it's bittersweet." ___ On the Net: http://www.kanyewest.com "Old man's gotta be the old man.

The problem I have is that despite him releasing 5 or even 10 albums, his music (while I enjoy some of it) will not really stand the test of time. Ditto for Beyonce, Justin timberlake, or the others of this generation. "Old man's gotta be the old man. Fish has got to be the fish." | |

he is the most exciting performer out there nowadays and unlike Timberflake, does not have to get tons of help to make a record.....and yeah, his albums are classics and some of the best hip-hop ever made

he has done NOTHING RELEVANT in his genre, plain and freaking simple. All talk no delivery on anything, if he wants to prove something and be a voice or a difference DO SOMETHING different. Be a rebel, go indie, put out 10 albums then talk, you got, what, 4 albums? 5 albums, youre a rookie homie, call me in 10-15 years when you got something "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

He doesn't even have many fans and isnt even that famous, what gives him the indication for him to possibly think that?
I just watched the Dangerous concert in Bucharest again after years, and its when you can pull off something like that that you can call yourself 'The voice of this generation', he could never even come close to pulling those kinds of crowds and recieving that kind of love. His comment reminds me of the line off Step brothers, and it's funny for the same reason too. | |
