Kanye West has been called bigger than Michael Jackson and as big as Mozart. I am not saying that he is bigger than them but only a few artists can even handle a comparison to these 2 geniuses.

Zarkow You are wrong. I made this comparison. And one popular article on this subject is this: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/05/american-mozart/308931/ Notice how it is not written by Kanye West.

You know what we love about Jimmy? By the way, "we" here means black people. Tonight is my turn to speak for us. What we love about Jimmy Fallon is that he is one of those successful white guys who is not afraid to show how much he is a fan of a lot of black superstars. He is who he is, and he makes no apology for it. "I love these guys," he often finds himself thinking to himself. He also pays homage. He appreciates African-American talent. He kept the Roots working. A steady paycheck. He is now reminding us who Dave Chappelle is. He grew up on these talents. He's not gonna forget them. Now, that's a honest talk show host. Jimmy keeps it real and we, too, appreciate him for that. He has a lot of black fans!

What you fail to mention is how this guy, who wasn't even on the list of funniest cast member when he was on SNL, got so popular?
