Kanye West and His Ego

Kanye West's name is known internationally. Not only because his name has been out there for years now, but because of his talent and success. He knows he has talent, and he knows he's popular. And so does everyone else. His name is constantly being thrown around in the news and being brought up or referenced in the media. Naturally, he has a big ego. Fame has without a doubt added to his ego over time. If I were an international rap superstar, I would be too. I have a lot of respect for Kanye West and his work. It's just that his arrogance and egotistical attitude is really entertaining. If you don't know what I'm talking about when I say Kanye has a big ego, let me throw out a few examples of the things that come out of his mouth. When being asked about history, his response was "I feel like I'm too busy writing history to read it". He's also said "I still think I'm the greatest." And " "I am the number one human being in music. That means any person that's living or breathing is number two." (He said this on a talk show in 2007, even back then before the 'Yeezus' era he was saying this type of stuff) There's a link below to the top 20 most 'Jaw Dropping Quotes' from Kanye if you want to read the rest of them; this is where I got the above quote from. Remeber at the MTV VMA's when Kanye ran up on stage to crash Taylor Swift's music video award acceptance speech? That was really arrogant, needless t say. It was funny though so I'll give him that. Kanye also has a clothing line called A.P.C. Kanye. This line features a plain denim shirt priced at $265. A Kanye Beanie will cost you $120 and the most expensive thing I see on the very first page of his clothing is a "parka with fur" for $2,865. What about a plain white T? Yeah that's $90. For a plain t-shirt. Those prices pretty much validate and support all of his arrogant quotes. His clothes do actually sell. I have no idea who would pay that for clothes but he's making money and that's all that really matters. Kanye's ego has since been fabricated even more since his involvement with Kim Kardashian started. The entire family supports him and his behavior. Kanye does support or has some kind of involvement in 19 charities and organizations to date. I just thought I should mention something positive about where some of his fortune goes to. Kanye West is a great artist who writes a lot of great music. His persona is harsh at times but it's entertainment. It sells. It's what makes Kanye, well, Kanye.
