5 MORE AWARDS KANYE WEST SHOULD GET
He always complains about not winning the top Grammy and MTV awards. Here are our consolation prizes:
BEST IN THE BLOGOSPHERE
At KanyeUniverseCity.com, Kanye posts more often than Kobe Bryant shoots the basketball -- on everything from high-design furniture and amazing architecture to cool music videos and "tripped out" (his words) photos to rants in response to reviews of his work.
GREATEST GIVEN NAME IN HIP-HOP HISTORY
Kanye (Swahili for "chosen one") West sure beats Shawn Carter (Jay-Z), Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) or Marshall Mathers (Eminem).
BIGGEST COJONES IN HIP-HOP
On TV, he's spoken out about homophobia in hip-hop and President Bush's handling of Hurricane Katrina.
COOLEST COLLECTION OF SUNGLASSES
Sorry, Bono.
COOLEST COLLECTION OF COLLABORATORS AND SAMPLES
Coldplay's Chris Martin, Steely Dan, Daft Punk, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Can, Jay-Z, Ne-Yo, John Legend, Public Enemy, John Mayer, Laura Nyro, Jon Brion, Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Mos Def and, of course, Timbaland -- and that was just on 2007's "Graduation" album.
