Is Kanye becoming a new Kanye?

Kanye West's stream of consciousness continued on Twitter Wednesday morning, during which the outspoken rapper appeared to tone down the attitude.

The 38-year-old recently shocked many when he ranted about his finances and called upon Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to invest in "Kanye West's ideas," saying he "this generation's Disney" and wants to "bring dope s--t to the world."

"Mark, I am publicly asking you for help," he wrote Sunday night. "I know I can make the world a better place...I have done the impossible...I retook the throne of rap...I beat the fashion game."

"Man, I was thinking about when I commented on the idea of 'taking the rap throne'...that statement hasn't been sitting well with me," Kanye tweeted Wednesday. "That's a dated mentality...I'm not on that...every rapper is somebody's favorite." 

"A wise man should be humble enough to admit when he's wrong and change his mind based on new information...there is so much positive energy right now...Let's stay on this Ultra Light Beam," he said, naming one of the tracks on his new album, The Life of Pablo.

"My number one enemy has been my ego," Kanye said. "There is only one thrown and that's God's."

The Life of Pablo was released exclusively on Tidal Saturday. The record contains a track titled "I Love Kanye" as well as one dissing Taylor Swift, in which Kanye claims he made her famous.

The 26-year-old pop star fired back during her second acceptance speech at the 2016 Grammys Monday night, saying, "There are going to be people along the way that will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame, but if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you." Kanye took to Twitter after the show but did not mention her.
