NEW YORK -- Kanye West thinks he's a gift from God and he's reinforcing that with the cover of the new Rolling Stone.

West appears as Jesus on the cover, wearing a crown of thorns.

Inside the magazine, he's shown posing as ex-heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali.

West said people who criticize him for telling everyone how good he is are hypocritical.

He said Americans want people to accomplish great feats and "David Copperfield-type stunts."

"You want me to be great, but you don't ever want me to say I'm great," West said.

West also noted that his hit "Gold Digger" was the best song last year and that it should have also been given the nod for Best Rap Song at the Grammys. He said that would have been "a gimme Grammy," except that isn't one of the categories he's up for.

And in the interview, he acknowledged he isn't only addicted to himself.

West said he has been addicted to pornography since he was 5, when he saw one of his dad's girlie magazines.

He said that, since then, "it was like, `Houston, we have a problem."'
