Rapper Kanye West calls himself the new Michael Jackson because he's the only current African-American star who can sell out stadiums. The super-confident "Jesus Walks" hitmaker boasts no hip-hop or R&B star can fill huge venues like he can.

He says, "When I was on tour with Bono, he said, 'Nobody from your community has ever figured this out, except for Michael Jackson.' He really did do stadiums. He really was that one. And I feel like I'm that one."
