Fair Game
The World

Last night at the Grammy’s, Herbie Hancock won Best Album of the Year and Amy Winehouse took home Best Song and Best New Artist. But Kanye West couldn’t make a public appearance without at least one self-important rant – it’s in his contract. After he won Best Rap Album of the Year he launched into a long speech about becoming the best artist in the world, and how that’s why he won’t get off the stage. The guy thinks very highly of himself. And to add to that ego, he’s now got a new book called Thank You and You’re Welcome. For more on the book, and Kanye, Faith speaks to Fair Game’s Ed Herro.
