I'm mostly, but not exclusively, referring to Kanye West. I don't humor the "Ye" thing because as part of his god complex he started using it because he saw the King James version of the Bible and its abundant use of "Ye" as directly speaking to him. That's not the only example; in fact unless I grossly misheard one of the "good" tracks that was recommended to me, Kanye West outright says "I'M A GOD" in it.
Yes yes eccentric genius and all of that. I don't like god complexes, no matter how rich and famous someone gets. I don't grant eccentric genius passes for them and sometimes I wonder why almost everyone else seems to. :doomer:
If you're interested a lot of Hip-hop (seeing as you're using the Kanye example) uses langauge that draws heavily from The Five-Percenters, prodominetly New York artists. I know this isn't the overall point of your message, and I do agree celebrities are just going full maks-off with their insanity, but I thought I might add a little bit of extra information on the formation of "GOD" in popular hip-hop culture.
