Kanye West Poses as Jesus
January 25th, 2006 by Laura Moncur in News
Kanye West is the rapper who aptly announced, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.” He was the one who was brave enough to say what all of us were thinking. For the most recent cover of Rolling Stone, he posed as Jesus Christ for the cover and Muhammad Ali inside.
He’s quoted as saying,
“If I was more complacent and I let things slide, my life would be easier, but you all wouldn’t be as entertained. My misery is your pleasure.”
“In America, they want you to accomplish these great feats, to pull off these David Copperfield-type stunts. You want me to be great, but you don’t ever want me to say I’m great?”
Yes, that’s true. We want you to prove yourself to us before you brag about it. In this world of mega-stars, not even Kanye West is considered successful enough to flaunt conceit. Give yourself a few more years, Kanye. If you’re still a star instead of a “Where Are They Now” story, then you can brag to your heart’s content.
