Kanye West thinks he is Shakespeare ...
Another delusional rapper hustling the brand for more media attention …
‘I am Shakespeare’ — Kanye’s ego reaches new heights -- Kanye West has compared his talent to the genius of Andy Warhol and William Shakespeare.
Now he says his and Kim Kardashian’s baby daughter, North West, is as important to the world as Prince George, the future King of England.
In an interview to promote his Yeezus tour, Kanye told radio station Power 105 that his daughter “is in a position of a level of royalty like the Prince and Princess in London,” appearing to refer to Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, who was pregnant at the same time as Kardashian.
Then, discussing his video for “Bound 2,” which features a naked Kim straddling Kanye on a motorcycle, and sparked a spoof from James Franco and Seth Rogen, Kanye said, “I want to show you that this is ‘The Hunger Games’ . . . And the only difference is a black dude in the middle of it . . . I’m like Marina Abramovic.”
He continued, “This is, like, performance art.” Later in the day he was interviewed on radio station Shade 45 and raved, “I’m standing up, and I’m telling you, I am Warhol. I am the No. 1 most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh.” ‘I am Shakespeare’ Read more at: Kanye’s ego reaches new heights | Page Six
Someone should tell him that if his child grows up in the progressive socialist democrat world of Obama, she is doomed to be yet another unexceptional population unit to be managed and utilized by the ruling elite for the benefit of the community. Like President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize, awarded on the basis of zero accomplishment, his child is rather unexceptional except for being a member of the lucky sperm club and able to trade on mummy and daddy’s money and notoriety in the future. Harsh, but the reality of an increasingly hard world.
As for his claim to equal Shakespeare’s artistic fame and creative longevity, that is for the world to judge in a hundred years or so …
“We don’t got it like that. When I tell you only seven black billionaires, look at marginalization, and we feel like we happy because me and Rick Ross got it made, or I got a spread outside, a couple of us, or they put a black president.
Man, let me tell you something about George Bush and oil money and Obama and no money. People want to say Obama can't make these moves or he's not executing. That's because he ain't got those connections. Black people don't have the same level of connections as Jewish people. Black people don't have the same connection as oil people.
You know we don't know nobody that got a nice house. You know we don’t know nobody with paper like that we can go to when we down. You know they can just put us back or put us in a corporation. You know we ain’t in situation. Can you guarantee that your daughter can get a job at this radio station? But if you own this radio station, you could guarantee that. That’s what I’m talking about.”

I am betting his work will be buried in the sands of time. It appears the only thing he has in common with Shakespeare is that his English is harsh to the modern ear.
Bottom line …
It always amazes me that high-earning celebrities. who are surrounded by business associates and sycophants who tell them they are “geniuses,” appear to believe that their opinion matters to the non-celebrity worshiping world or that they have some particular insight into world affairs. Of course, many of these so-called “experts” will do or say anything to grab media attention and to promote their own brand of bullshit.
It doesn’t bother me so much that Kanye is a consummate self-promoter able to leverage his brand of bullshit into $100 million, it is that he appears to be so stupid as to believe that the President of the United States doesn’t have the best connections in the world. Commanding attention, if not respect, from everybody he meets or speaks with – even indirectly through aides. So to attribute Obama’s failure to a lack of connections like the Jewish people is racist, ignorant, and just plain stupid.
As for President Obama, here is the alleged smartest person in the room that has just brought pain and suffering to tens of millions of Americans with his radical socialist change, transformation, and redistribution – and, if my suspicions are correct, hates both Israel and the Jews in the very same manner as his 20+ year spiritual mentor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright.
Both of these bozos should be held accountable for talking smack when the America is melting down before our very eyes.
