I think CT is spot on. I'm a cynic tho so don't mind me.

I think Kanye has always been a narcissist and an asshole. He admitted as much early on in his career. Having nervous breakdowns "man these niggas better than me?"

This is definitely how some artist win in that industry because you have to believe you are the shit.

I know a nigga just like this. Industry cat. Used to suck his own dick all damn day. He was the greatest and he made it using that mentality. He was also depressed a lot. Even when he won he felt like he lost because someone else always had more or had a hot song.

Ionno if that's being mentally ill or just obsessed with winning.

These type of people create enemies and haters in their mind to drive them. Not sure if it's bi polar or just being a narcissistic asshole. I guess you can be both but I think it's the latter.
