Kanye West: I'm a Living God and if You Disagree You're Racist
Right now you're thinking I juiced the headline, and that he said no such thing.
Well the trick's on you.
The All Of The Lights singer hit out at what he perceived to be a racist response to his song I Am A God from of his latest album Yeezus, on Monday with an hourlong interview with BBC Radio 1.
Kanye said people might ask him who he thinks he is calling himself a god, but the rapper has an answer to that question: 'I just told you who I thought I was: A god. I just told you. That’s who I think I am.
'Would it have been better if I had a song that said "I am a gangster" or if I had a song that said "I am a pimp." All those colours and patinas fit better on a person like me, right?
Ima let you finish but the best god is still Zeus, yo.
There's a parallel here with the Cult of Obama -- if you don't worship him like unto a god, then you're racist.
Really?
Okay.
