Kanye West Says He's The "Voice Of This Generation"

Kanye West has never and I mean never been shy about saying how he feels and telling it like he sees it. Check out his latest interview with the Associated Press and what he thinks of Justin Timberlake...
"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,""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,
Kanye talking about how Justin missed the mark in becoming a music "MVP":
"There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on
vacation, so when Justin went on vacation I made albums," West said.
"And it just came out to be that."
What do you think about Kanye's claim about being this generations voice? Or at least the loudest voice?

Bullshizzle. This man isn't MINE or my friends' voices AT. ALL. We're not spoiled, petulant, racist, misogynistic, eletist, whiny arseholes, thank you very much.
a little modesty would do that man good!!
His photos were seen at the millionaire & celebrity dating club ^^^^^^MillionaireLoving. C O M^^ ^^^^ last week. It is said he is already in relationship with a young pretty ..., maybe you also have the chance to date with a rich beauty there. Come on.
The one who barks the loudest is the one who will get ate!
It doesn't mean anything if you make two or three albums in a row
Justin last album did so well he didn't have to rush and make another one and he has been working with other artists so why rush to make another
Kayne is making so many albums his recorded label can't keep up to promote even one of them I think Kayne change alot since his mother died and he is bitter with everone in the business and it seems he's taking it out on Justin because he is doing so well with his carrer

Man, quit trying to speak for me!
The only reason you'll be the loudest voice is cause you won't quit screaming. The people with the most influence are not those who are the loudest its those who have something to say. Big difference.
Kanye, sit down now.
Please and thank you.

he's so arrogant, he is not as big as he thinks and he's not going anywhere.
i agree that kanye is way too big headed for his own good. that's one thing i've always hated about him. he really needs to add the word HUMBLE to his vocabulary. BUT, he does make good music and i've seen him live and he's really, really good. he's definitely one of the more influential musicians out there. it's just too bad he can't keep the fact that he agrees with that to himself.

i can't stand him. he's so full of himself it's ridiculous.
Kanye embodies EVERYTHING that is WRONG with hip hop today and my generation today. He is BEYOND whack.
I've never read a comment that man has made that didn't sound like pure arrogance. Ugh. He sounds so full of himself!

Arrogant and loud but he's extremely talented. I don't like his racism and all the inappropriate comments he makes about people; can't help but respect him though because he is great... just not as great as he thinks he is.

so typical of people like him....
He isn't MY voice, that's for sure. This guy has the biggest ego I've ever seen. I can't stand him.

I wish he'd just crawl back into the hole he came from. I can't stand him and don't particularly like his music. There are far more talented people making music right now. He's only a legend in his own mind.
I dont think Kanye necessarily IS the voice of the generation, but I have to admit he's 1 of the loudest like he says. He just speaks his mind on what other artists are afraid to say, whether it be because they dont want to lose fan base or ruin their reputation. But Kanye puts himself out of the box in that sense.....
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YEEZY!!!! =D

I love Kanye's music, I also love how conceited he is... always has been.... but I don't think he's the voice of this generation - sorry!
This is a comment someone ELSE says about you, not something you say about yourself. Get a grip Kanye!

Wow he is definitely not speaking a voice that I would support! Stop calling yourself the voice of our generation because people never agree on one thing. I'm tired of his big ego.

He just comes off like an asshole to me.
*barf* Kanye - this is why I despise you and your music. You are an arrogant asshole. Why should I support someone like you? Do something good for the world and stop focusing on yourself. I hope you read this and you know what - you probably will because you'll want to check all the gossip sites to read about yourself. Get a life.
My boyfriend and I Kanye West. He is the voice of our generation
AHHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahah
Pleasseeee
HE has as much talent as a door stop!!
His own bunch despise him for his ignorance.
But hey there is always some dumb sucker willing to bend for this kind of sheit :)
Ta TA
