Kanye West apparently believes that he and Justin Timberlake rule the world.  According to CNN Entertainment, he recently claimed that Timberlake is his “inspiration and biggest competition”…which is, of course, an innocuous statement more flattering to the pop star than anything else.  But then his ego inflates a tad and he says, ”I look at me and Justin like Prince and Michael Jackson in their day.”  Justin, possibly.  Kanye, hardly.  And finally, “I feel like my lyrics are, if not THE, then equal to, the realest lyrics out there.”  Now, it is par for the course to have hip hop/rap artists going around touting their musical talents, but someone needs to stick a little pin in that inflated noggin of his because after that statement the score is already English Vocabulary: 1, Kanye: 0.  Sure, “Gold Digger” was a big hit way back when, “Stronger” is a hot summer single, and he’s had some successful collaborations, but he’s a few groundbreaking albums away from being on the same level as Prince, MJ, and even JT.
