Normally I wouldn’t waste my time making a post about anything Kanye West says, but his statement is so bizarre that it begs the question: is Kanye West losing it?

During an interview with a NY radio station, Kanye said he considers pseudo-rapper Nicki Minaj to be the “scariest artist in the game right.” He went even further to say that Nicki will own her own network one day, and she “has the potential to be the number 2 greatest rapper of all time… because nobody is going to be bigger than Eminem.”

There are two things wrong with this statement: Eminem is not the greatest rapper of all time, and Nicki Minaj will never seriously be considered for the Top 10 list of greatest female rappers of all time. Both Kanye West and Nicki Minaj embody what is wrong with today’s Hip Hop.

They both have mental issues that need to be addressed before they further erodes the public’s perception of the music industry.
