Kanye West won 2 awards and performed at last night’s 2008 American Music Awards. West won Best Rap/Hip-Hop Male Artist and Best Rap/Hip-Hop Album for ‘Graduation’. In this acceptance speech West revealed to the crowd that he wants to be Elvis.
“I wake up every morning thinking, ‘What stereotypes do I wanna break. “It’s up to artists to push one another. We’ll push each other to be the new Beatles, the new Hendrix…I wanna be Elvis.”
And still sore at losing male rap/hip-hop artist last year Kanye said Lil Wayne deserved it more this time.
“I want to give this award to Wayne,” he said. “If it was last year it would have been my award.”
