Dude's ego (or confidence) really is off the charts.

Excerpt
Q:And you know you hit your shots.
Yeah you put me on the team. So Im going to use my platform to tell people that theyre not being fair. Anytime Ive had a big thing thats ever pierced and cut across the Internet, it was a fight for justice. Justice. And when you say justice, it doesnt have to be war. Justice could just be clearing a path for people to dream properly. It could be clearing a path to make it fair within the arena that I play. You know, if Michael Jordan can scream at the refs, me as Kanye West, as the Michael Jordan of music, can go and say, This is wrong.
Q:Youve won a lot of Grammys.
[My Beautiful] Dark [Twisted] Fantasy and Watch the Throne: neither was nominated for Album of the Year, and I made both of those in one year. I dont know if this is statistically right, but Im assuming I have the most Grammys of anyone my age, but I havent won one against a white person.
But the thing is, I dont care about the Grammys; I just would like for the statistics to be more accurate.
Q:You want the historical record to be right.
Yeah, I dont want them to rewrite history right in front of us. At least, not on my clock. I really appreciate the moments that I was able to win rap album of the year or whatever. But after a while, its like: Wait a second; this isnt fair. This is a setup. I remember when both Gnarls Barkley and Justin [Timberlake] lost for Album of the Year, and I looked at Justin, and I was like: Do you want me to go onstage for you? You know, do you want me to fight
Q: For you.
For whats right. I am so credible and so influential and so relevant that I will change things. So when the next little girl that wants to be, you know, a musician and give up her anonymity and her voice to express her talent and bring something special to the world, and its time for us to roll out and say, Did this person have the biggest thing of the year? that thing is more fair because I was there.
