NEW YORK — Kanye West, with a crown of thorns atop his head, poses as Jesus Christ on the cover of the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone.
The outspoken rapper defends his brash attitude inside the magazine's pages, on newsstands Friday. He is also pictured posing as Muhammad Ali.

"If I was more complacent and I let things slide, my life would be easier, but you all wouldn't be as entertained," he says. "My misery is your pleasure."

Yes. I thought he says he's Christian? If true, he fails to see the obvious conflict of interest. But he's blinded by the money, for the time being at least.
He's an attention whore and he really can NOT rap, so he needs to have a guest with him on every song he can for his own sake.
He is a good producer and being he slandered Bush, I am sure Hollywierd loves him.
This no-talent punk has to rely on controversary. He has nothing else to fall back on. The good news is two years from now we might, just might, remember his last name.
He's dumb, but he ain't stupid. He's having too much fun to prematurely part with his head.
Wow. That's very daring. Very bold. What a statement Kanye is making. This guy is the real deal. Maybe the Book of Daniel wouldn't have been canceled if Kanye had been playing the role of Jesus.
I'm just really impressed with the creative, fearless spirit this magazine cover shows.
(eyespy, go on and ping whichever Freeper it is who has the tagline about Freepers not being able to read sarcasm, I can already tell someone's going to whine at me for this post)
Another dime a dozen rapper,here today gone tommorow.I can't tell them apart,they seem to crawl out the woodwork these days.
He related how he was complaining about all problems they were encounteriing during filming when someone told him,
"You don't expect to make a film about the Passion of Christ and not get a touch of it yourself do you?"
Seems to me he's another in a long line of false Christs the real one warned us about.
This guy makes millions of dollars for running his pie hole, and he wants to pose as a victim? Shut Up and Don't Sing!
This whining little puke couldn't take five minutes of the crap George Bush takes every day.
He certainly doesn't have a problem with self-esteem!
He should be arrested for impersonating a good singer first.
I wonder if we aren't starting to see the results of a sort of quiet but firm refusal to accept offensive efforts of the media and the entertainment industry - the cancellation of certain TV shows and the continued downward trend of readshership of liberal newspapers as recent examples. We conservatives may not be "screaming," but our opinions seem to be heard loud and clear in some venues.
What is Kanye West?
In the myopic world of celebrity, they really believe that nonsense lol.
Nobody.
Unless you call a "rap star" somebody.
