Egomaniac
Egomaniac: (Noun) Someone with obsessive egotism or self-centeredness.On yesterday's "Ellen," Kanye West told Ellen DeGeneres where his musical well draws the sweet water of inspiration from: the dude from American Psycho. Naturally.
"On this album, I kind of embody Patrick Bateman from American Psycho."
"You know at the end of the movie (that) he didn't really kill anyone. (I just liked) the clean aesthetic and the way he was all about labels. I wanted to express all of that in the video." (Source)
So... Kanye West is inspired by masturbatory narcissism and sociopathic fantasizing? Get. Out. I couldn't be any more shocked if you told me Pete Wentz draws his musical inspiration from an old VHS copy of Care Bears: The Movie.
Editor's note: I'm pretty sure those glasses don't even have lenses in them.
American Dildo with fellow egomaniac Stephen Colbert at an Emmys party:
At least when Colbert is an egomaniac, it's funny and you can believe there's a redeemable person underneath all of the ego.
Dig into Kanye's ego, and you'll find...another Kanye as egotistical and douchetastical as the other one. It's like a Nestle's Wonder Ball of disappointment.
Colbert's looking uncomfortable there. Is he repulsed, or he lodged in a real-life version of 'The Adventures of Noblet and Jelinek'? If the latter, know that we love you Stephen, and we'll grow to love 'Kanyephen'.
