Kanye West: Total Douchebag?

Another spot on assessment brought to you by Jeriton.

Anyways, for all the bragging and cockiness the guy puts on one hell of a show. I went to see his concert on Saturday night and it was nothing short of awesome.

I'm not a fan of the 'cockiness' but see a lot of it as tounge in cheek. At one point he says how on reviewer had said that his show was the "greatest hip-hop show they had ever seen" and he questions why it's not the "greatest show, period". TBH the guy has a point on that. I've seen Muse who were heralded as the 'Best Live Act' at some point this year and what he did blew them clean out of the water.
