Kanye: People look at me 'like Hitler'

Kanye West, in his latest odd outburst, says he feels as though people look at him like Adolf Hitler.

The 34-year-old rapper was the headline act at England's Big Chill music festival Saturday night, where he ranted in the middle of his set about being misunderstood and underappreciated, The Associated Press reports.

"I walk through the hotel and I walk down the street, and people look at me like I'm -- insane, like I'm Hitler," he said. "One day the light will shine through and one day people will understand everything I ever did."

The crowd apparently didn't understand his point: He received light boos.

West also defended the music video for his song "Monster," which features cannibalism and girls hanging from their necks.

"Who saw the video before it got banned, before they took it down and before women's groups starting saying that a person that lost the most important woman in his life is now against women in some way?" asked West, referring to the 2007 death of his mother Donda West.

But West closed his show on a positive note by paying tribute to Amy Winehouse.

"Thank you for protecting your artists that are still here," he said to the crowd. "This is for [Alexander] McQueen, for Amy, for Michael [Jackson] and for all the media, can you lighten up on all your artists that are still here?" he asked, receiving a roaring cheer from the crowd.
