Who Should The Next "King Of Pop" Be? Of Course Kanye Nominates Himself

Posted on July 29, 2009 - 8:46pm by tammy With Michael Jackson's throne now sadly vacant, there awaits the million dollar question, who will be reigned the next "King of Pop"? You know Kanye West is the first to wave his hand in the air saying "pick me, pick me." The dude even went as far as to ask the Jackson family for their blessing---while they are still mourning. Aceshowbiz reports:

"You know everyone loves and respects Michael but times change. It's so sad to see Michael gone but it makes a path for a new King of Pop and I'm willing to take that on," so he told Scrape TV. On what makes him deserve the title, Kanye said, "There's nobody who can match me in sales and in respect so it only makes sense for me to take over Michael's crown and become the new King." The rapper then added, "First there was Elvis [Presley], then there was Michael, now in the 21st century it's Kanye's time to rule. I have nothing but respect for Michael but someone needs to pick up where he left off and there's nobody better than me to do that. I am the new King of Pop." Furthermore, Kanye reportedly has reached out to the Jackson family to obtain official permission to use the title but so far received no response from them. It is believed that the family is still mourning over Michael's death.

Do you think Kanye should be the next "King of Pop"?
