So it really isn’t new news that Kanye West is one of the most, if not the most, egotistical douchebags around currently. It also isn’t shocking that he continues to live in this warped world where he is the greatest, most
innovative artist alive.
However, he manages to still spew some insane shit about himself that makes the rest of the world tilt their head to the side and go “Is he serious right now?”
West has now he has taken his ridiculously way too high opinion of himself to a new level by saying that he believes he has broken more creative barriers than Michael Jackson.
Giving a not so subtle back handed compliment, Kanye starts off telling BBC Radio 1 that if not for Michael Jackson he wouldn’t exist as an artist, but then quickly reminds the world that the person who really can take all the credit for West is West himself.
“I was able to ascend to massive heights, and I’ve got to a point that Michael Jackson did not break down. I have reached the glass ceiling, as a creative person, as a celebrity and I’ve been at it for 10 years.”
