Kanye Causes More Controversy
 

West Causes Controversy By Posing As Jesus Christ
Rapper Kanye West has a new feud brewing with America's Catholic League after posing as the wounded Jesus Christ on the cover of the upcoming issue of music magazine Rolling Stone. Bloodied West appears wearing a crown of thorns on his head in a provocative shot, which has upset the religious group's leaders, who are calling his latest controversial act "offensive" and "trite." Catholic League spokeswoman Kiera McCaffrey says, "It's moronic. I mean, Kanye West as Jesus? He's a pop star." But the Jesus Walks rapper insists he has a lot in common with Christ because he has to fight for recognition and suffer for success. In the accompanying article, West talks about the criticism fired at him last year when he famously suggested President George W. Bush was a racist during a Hurricane Katrina telethon, and criticized the US leader for not reacting to the disaster quicker. He explains, "If I was more complacent and I let things slide, my life would be easier, but you all wouldn't be as entertained. My misery is your pleasure." In the Rolling Stone spread, West also poses as boxing great Muhammad Ali.

They're prolly just pissed because Jesus was white.

That is awesome as fuck. :love:

LOL

LOL what an ego on this guy.

Nas :)

LOL but they will allow somebody to play Jesus in "Passion of the Christ", but just because Kanye's skin has a better tan....

God, tell them to get over it. Oops, hope I didn't offend there.

Jesus, this is funny. I'm sure he did it to stir the pot too.

Controversy sells records. Even lame controversy.

"It's moronic. I mean, <s>a black man</s>Kanye West as Jesus?"

Kanye is retarded.

He does what he has to do. I respect that.

An actor can portray Jesus in a movie, but a muscian can't dress as him on a magazine cover?

Maybe Mel Gibson just donates more.

Or you're blocking out all the controversy the PAssion caused?

Kanye belongs behind the side of the recording glass with all the equipment and keyboards, not the microphone side.

Yes Kanye's rhymes are terrible compared to everyone else in mainstream hiphop. Maybe if he could come up with gold lines like "I wanna see your grill. You wanna see my what?" he'd be a better rapper.

Get outta here talkin all that bullshit

Im sorry that song sucks too, your talkign to a hip hop freak so dont think i buy into mainstream rap, lord knows the last tiem i turned on the radio for music off of ANY rap station. Hes just not that great and if it wasnt for the fact that his beats are fire, his albums would totally suck to me. Diamonds, what a GREAT beat.....what the FUCK was up with those lyrics? Jay-Z on the remix was better then kanye in both versions. Kanyes analogies suck as well, and hes got an ego thats horrible mis placed amougst hip hop greats such as Biggie,Big L,Tupac and others in there rare to be in leauge. He once said that pepole in hip hop look up to him cause he doesnt talk about himselfs in his songs and that beacuse he made it to college hes such an influence.....play with the keyboards kanye, and leave jesus alone, you had your fun with that card already.

"My Misery is my publicity stunt to keep your from forgetting i rap"

How about an actor playing Jesus in ANY movie?
