“You know everyone loves and respects Michael but times change. It’s so sad to see Michael gone but it makes a path for a new King of Pop and I’m willing to take that on. There’s nobody who can match me in sales and in respect so it only makes sense for me to take over Michael’s crown and become the new King. First there was Elvis, then there was Michael, now in the 21st century its Kanye’s time to rule. I have nothing but respect for Michael but someone needs to pick up where he left off and there’s nobody better than me to do that. I am the new King of Pop.” – Kanye West (via Scrape TV)

Winner: MICHAEL FUCKING JACKSON
Seriously, I’m a fan of Kanye, but dude says some ridiculous shit sometimes for no apparent reason. I’m pretty much over the whole death of Michael after an excessive amount of mixtape listening to (my favorite tribute is by Dj Chonz and can be downloaded here) and this just brought back every facet in my ever-so growing disdain for the entire situation. Kanye, if it’s your time to rule, maybe your fans should buy your albums, right?
But also, just because this joke still isn’t worn out to me – Kanye, do you like fishsticks?
He needs to have his jaw wired shut again. That way he can’t rap or say ignorant ass shit. Just put him to make beats.
I’ve heard so many stories that he actually was mis-quoted on the above statement, but have found little to actually follow it up… Kanye’s an interesting cat to me. He says some dumb shit 90% of the time, but that other 10% is what i love about him (think, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” ala Katrina).
