Potent Quotables: Kanye Wants the Crown
- Posted on Jul 31st 2009 3:00PM by Kim Davis
"First there was Elvis, then there was Michael, now in the 21st century it's Kanye's time to rule. I am the new King of Pop." --Kanye West
In a recent interview, the rapper said that while it was "sad" to lose Jackson, "times change." But Kanye, it seems, does not. See where he landed on our list of the most shockingly cocky quotes ever.
*UPDATE: It turns out Kanye West never made this statement. "Not only did I not say that, I haven't said anything," he wrote on his blog today. Read full story on the mixup here.

Your time will never come Kanye. If you haven't seen your star rise yet, You will likely never see it. Many people hate you for how you ruined Taylor Swift's acceptance speech and embarrassed Beyonce by adding her name to your rant. You A$$

Since proven to be false, wouldn't it be a good idea to just remove this now? Kanye says enough retarded, cocky things that there is no need to make stuff up to make him look retarded and cocky.

Kanye, if you want to follow in Elvis and Michael's footsteps, why don't you try dropping dead.

CC, I agree whole-heartedly. Say what you will about Michael Jackson, but no one -- and I mean no one -- transcended racial bounderies the way he did. No other entertainer united people the way he did. His music is enjoyed all over the world, in many different languages. What has Kanye West accomplished?

Thanks to all who have said above that this blow-hard lout really is a legend in his own mind.
