The rapper took the stage to accept his award for Favourite Rap/Hip-Hop Album, in a first-time category at the 2008 American Music Awards on Sunday.

Kanye Wants To Be Bigger Than Elvis
I hope he means in terms of popularity, not girth.
Since we are all celebrating the release of 808s and Heartbreak, I thought it is proper to end the week talking about the Louis Vuitton Don once again. At the American Music Awards Kanye decided to get all "bigger than Jesus" by declaring that he wanted to be the next Elvis. Again, I'm assuming he was talking about the Big E's legendary status, as opposed to the shiny jump suits, pistol-grip sideburns and the deep-fried PB sandwiches.

Kanye West “Love Lockdown” Video
I’ve said before I don’t really watch videos because if you have seen one you have seen them all, but I will actually watch a Kanye video since each one is so different from his last. The simple white look in the video is inspired by American Psycho…which was one of the strangest movies I have ever seen, minus the part where Christian Bale moonwalks with an axe. Check below.

Ciara Video for “Go Girl”
So I forgot to mention the one type of video I WILL watch is any video where there is dancing.

I haven’t gotten through this video yet so tell me how it is…I’m too busy trying to do that split chair move. Where I plan on using these moves I have no idea. One day they will be of use. One day.

Kanye West 'perfects' singing for new album using Auto-Tune
Kanye West has hit back at critics who accuse him of using technology in his music to hide his vocal inadequacies - insisting the Auto-Tune device he uses is helping him become a better singer.
West sings with the help of the computer singing aid throughout his forthcoming album 808s and Heartbreak - and he loves the sound of his voice.
His hip-hop rival 50 Cent recently criticised West's reliance on the technology, and others have pointed out Auto-Tune is regularly used by singers with weak voices.

Kanye West credits late mother with return to video music awards
Hip-hop star Kanye West returned to the MTV Video Music Awards this year as a gift to his late mother Donda, after previously vowing to boycott the event.

WHY CAN’T KANYE BE BETTER THAN ELVIS?
The music world has been a buzz since Kanye West compared himself to Elvis Presley during his acceptance speech at last weeks AMA’s. And it seems depending on who you ask, Mr. West is either on track to best the King of Rock ‘N’ Roll - or- he’s suffering from delusions of grandeur.

Thought: Big egos in the music industry?
Yahoo music wrote an article on the biggest egos in the music industry like Kanye West, Bono, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Noel and Liam Gallagher, Madonna, etc.
That list is missing plenty of more big egos in the music industry: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of the Rollingstones, Billy Corgan, Prince, Britney Spears, Scott Weiland, Kid Rock, The Jonas Brothers, Clay Aiken, etc. The list goes on. You can also add Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix to the big egos list.
