Singer Kanye West has always been very open about how he feels about himself and frankly we think he’s arrogant!  Recently he spoke with the Associated Press and took the liberty of bashing other artists and their commitment to the industry.

“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.”

He’s right… he WILL go down as being one of the biggest smack talkers in history – that is for sure.  There is something to be said for the handful of humble celebrities and artists who take their stardom in stride.

“There were people who had the potential to do it but they went on vacation, so when Justin went on vacation I made albums.  And it just came out to be that.”

West is of course talking about Justin Timberlake.  Wow!

Kayne lost his mother, Donda West in November of 2007 and he has said that it has been very hard on him.  “I’m just going through balancing that.  And I always used to have that support system, you know.  My mom would be there; no matter what, she was there before everything.”

What do you think?  Is this kind of confidence refreshing or is it just plain nauseating?
