Kanye West - American Idiot

[Dave Starsky]

17. Kanye West is the Bobby Fischer of hip-hop.

For you youngsters, Bobby Fischer was a brilliant World Chess Champion who, though always a little bit eccentric, became a full-blown whack-job conspiracy theorist, religious nut, and fulminating anti-Semite (despite being Jewish himself). Some psychologists thought he developed schizophrenia. Some thought it was some sort of paranoid disorder. Others just thought he "snapped". Some complicated connection in his brain that deals with social behavior just wasn't working right anymore. He eventually became an expatriate recluse who renounced his citizenship.

I think the same has happened to poor Kanye--or "ye", as he now calls himself. I think he's got a badly broken connection in his brain.
