Even I’m shaking my head about this:

Kanye West acknowledges he has a big ego – but insists he shouldn’t be criticized because he always praises himself rather than slams rivals.

The 31-year-old rapper – who recently declared he was the “voice of this generation” – says he thinks highly of himself because he makes such good music.

He reveals, “I do have an ego and rightfully so. I think people should have an ego. “Think about it – I don’t offend people, I don’t put anyone down. Do I name names or bring people down? That’s not my thing. But I give myself big-ups. I feel good about the music I make.

“God chose me. He made a path for me. I am God’s vessel. “But my greatest pain in life is that I will never be able to see myself perform live.”

Think that makes Yeezy overrated? Blackplanet seems to think so. Check out the Top 10 Most Overrated MC’s by clicking here!
