Late Registration Arrogance

An Associated Press story tells us that rapper Kanye West is now the self-proclaimed voice of his generation. Says the ever-humble West:

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. It’s me settling into that position of just really accepting that it’s one thing to say you want to do it and it’s another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan.

Mr. West, you were never my voice, nor will you ever be my voice. I have my own voice and I speak for myself.
