Controversial rapper Kanye West has come to realize his words are powerful. He recently told Access Hollywood that while he isn’t trying to be sensational with what he says, he has always been outspoken and gotten in trouble for it.
“Well, I’m not even trying to be controversial. I’m not trying to be something that I’m not. I was always like the kid that got sent to the office for saying ‘Hey, the art teacher sucks!,” he said.
Earlier this month, he called out MTV for having Britney Spears open the VMAs and not him. He wondered aloud why MTV would book her, when she hasn’t has a hit in a few years instead of himself.
“I think that I have a powerful voice and I might have misused it on that night,” the chart-topper told Access. “I think I said a lot of things that were true but maybe it wasn’t my place to particularly call those things out.”
That statement represents a huge step forward for Kanye. He is a very smart man who has a lot to show still and lets it get lost in bravado. With his new album, Graduation, maybe he has learned a thing or two.
