O.k. So Kanye West probably isnt the next Messiah. But he does fit the requirements of a prophet, which a person regarded as an inspired teacher and proclaimer of the will of God. West has been teaching of Jesus since his debut album "The College Dropout" and although his message has become seemingly more like a God complex, he stil preaches messages from his Gospel. So one could theorize he's a prophet, maybe even a God. He gets his message out there, he tries to create a discourse on racial, political, social, and reigious topics; by challanging social norms he attempts to ultimately create a New Age; a better age.
