Bigmouths Strike Again: The Greatest Edition

Chan may have wanted to be the greatest, but probably realized the futility of her pursuit after recognizing the historic significance (and humility!) of this very important person who recently said...

My greatest competition is, well, me . . . I'm the Ali of today. I'm the Marvin Gaye of today. I'm the Bob Marley of today. I'm the Martin Luther King, or all the other greats that have come before us. And a lot of people are starting to realize that now.
Guess the speaker of this awesomeness, then take the jump.

Just kidding! This guy, obviously. (via Page Six)

I was totally gonna guess Kanye, but R Kelly works too. Our Chicago boys certainly aren't lacking in self-confidence.

Why am I not surprised? R. Kelly keeping his mouth closed has never been his strong suit. From the braggadocio that populates that garbage he calls music, to his claim that his brother (and not himself) was the man urinating on a young girl in his infamous sex tape, this comment almost seems mild by comparison. lol

Aaron McGruder, of "Boondocks" fame, will have a field day with this!

I was guessing Kanye also, but I guess I pissed all over that one.

Yes, Steve-O. When you're dead, everyone will mourn.

I'll just quote a friend of mine when she discovered this golden nugget of information...

Does this mean workplaces may now consider Steve-O's birthday as a paid holiday?

I guessed correctly. You know why? Because "I Like The Crotch On You" is the "I Have A Dream" of our generation. Word.

Not quite, but he consistently makes catchy R&B, I can't deny that. The lyrics of his ballads are so ridiculous I only hope they are tongue in cheek, but his uptempo songs are dancefloor classics.


Those are some chompers on SteveO

damn, i was really hoping it was actually steve-o...because he would have been correct in saying that statement.

God bless Steve-O

I thought it would be Puffy. Clearly, R. Kelly's just being honest. I think you'd have to pretty blind not to realize thaat he really is not only copmprable, but obviously superior, to the men he mentions. He's ebing alittle modest. He's far better than Ganghi, Malcom X, Marcus Garvey and Lee Perry as well.

I have a dream that my children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin , but by their ability to urinate on children.
