Kanye West's God complex

(CNN) Kanye West wants his listeners to know that he is “a close high” to God.

His latest album, “Yeezus,” released Tuesday, offered several controversial track titles, including “New Slaves,” “Black Skinhead” and the most audacious, “I Am a God.” The track’s credit says “featuring God,” as if He’s just another artist – a Rick Ross or Pharrell Williams – stepping into the studio to spit a couple of verses.

The song closes with the verses, “I just talked to Jesus/he said, ‘What up, Yeezus?’/I said “S*** I’m chilling/trying to stack these millions'/I know he’s the most high, but I am a close high.”

So, does Kanye really think he's God's match?

    • Fake science

      I have put together a comprehensive list of all the things the 'nothing god' has said and done over all history, here:

      The rest, everything, was all made by the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as given in the bible. And of course, Jesus died for our sins, and rose again the third day, saving those that believe him and repent of their sins.

    The dude's a performer. That's about as high as a janitor.

    You want people who are close to god? Check the people that are helping those who cannot help themselves.

    How can you be children of the Most High, when did the lost sheep become African? *Jeremiah 50:17 Israel is a scattered sheep; (John 10:7) God chosen people came to America, by the way of ships (Deuteronomy 28:68). Mankind was drinking his wine out of the cup. (Jeremiah 51:7) *Luke 22:18* (Revelation 17:2)
