Kanye West claims to be Hip-Hop's most popular rapper

Kanye West is in a class by himself. Although, busy battling Internet geeks, Kanye West took out time to add another jaw-dropping declaration to his solid resume. The Louis Vutton Don recently shared that he was Hip-Hop's most popular rapper and that he provides inspiration to other artists. "They look up to me for inspiration. They need me to be a shining light. I'm cool with every single rapper, but my style does set me apart, though there are a couple of others who do have that same style. I'm just the most popular," Kanye quipped. "I guess, what does set me apart is that I rap from the perspective of coming down on myself. You never really hear that in rap. Rap is usually about putting everybody else down. I'm self-critical, that's what sets me apart."
