Well, for one, he's the person who sold the most records in the U.S. last week. Debuted today at #1, with 900,000 of his second album sold.
I don't agree with a lot of what Kanye says or does, but I give him a lot of credit for speaking out; the rest of the "celebrities" were reading from the teleprompter, clearly, and were there just for their photo op.
Just like when Bush arrived in New Orleans for his photo op, and told the incompetent FEMA Director that he was doing a heckuva job. Riiiiight. That guy (MIchael Brown?, I think) needs to be fired right now, today.
