NEW YORK, NY (CBS) -

Kanye West says his job puts him at risk like police officers and soldiers.

It's the latest in a string of foot-in-mouth statements the rap artist has made that have raised eyebrows. In an interview on Saturday Night Online, West said, "(I) think about my family and I'm like wow this is like being a police officer or something like war or something. You literally going out to do your job everyday knowing that something could happen to you."

The ladies of The View and celebrity blogger Perez Hilton discussed the statement on this morning's show. Take a listen and tell us what you think in the comments below. Is he outrageously out of line, or simply misunderstood?
