He does think he is the best. He is full of himself..
But just because he has a big ego doesn't make his music bad.
College Dropout is a GREAT album. Except for the skits, you don't need to hit the skip track button. I'm not feeling Late Registration that much though... but I think I have too high of expectations since it followed College Dropout.
I mean, you guys are out of your mind for comparing him with 50.
And don't hate him because he has more "radio-friendly" songs. I think that is at times saying someone's music isn't as "radio friendly" as Kanye's or whoever is a euphemism for "his tracks aren't as good as Kanye's."
He's blowing up. What can I say mainstream just loves him. It's his catchy punchlines and metaphores that gets people. It's ok, give it time and we will see what will happen. Just give him his props for making it. Hey, everyone gets cockey once in a while.
