Kanye Kanye Kanye...

Is Kanye West for real?

I heard one of his songs on the radio this morning (not sure which one, the lyrics were something like "ZOMG I'm the best thing EVAR!!" repeated over and over, so really it could have been any of his songs...) and it got me thinking about whether he's singing those lyrics genuinely, or if there's some level of self awareness going on there.

Does he say "You should be honoured by my lateness" as some kind of commentary on the increasingly selfish attitude of some members of society, or is he just straight out partaking in that sort of thing himself?

Is it all just a massive exaggeration to stir up a reaction from people? I'd like to think he goes home at night and laughs about how ridiculous it is that people really love the music of some guy who does nothing but sing about how good he is while putting his voice through Auto-Tune*.

The thing is, I don't have time to actually research this and figure out a plausible answer, so if anyone wanders by this post can they please let me know (in say... 100 words or less?)

Cheers ;)

* Auto-Tune? Aren't they the company that advertise their car mending services with that catchy jingle sung by an Elton John robot?
