Jack Black made a quick stopover on last night's CONAN to promote his new HBO series The Brink. During his panel, the new Goosebumps lead took some time to address an issue that was annoying him: The fact that people appear to think Kanye West is an "a$$hole." And while Black agrees with the public – as he did call West an "a$$hole" – he also admitted that the guy is not without talent.

In fact, he claimed Yeezus might be the best album out there right now.

"It makes me mad," Black said, "It feels like everyone is really mean to Kanye West. And I'm sick of it. ... It's become the popular thing to, like, pile on Kanye. 'Oh, everyone can agree. Kanye's an a$$hole. Ha-Ha-Ha.'"

It was then that Black joked, "And I don't agree. Well, I do agree that he is an a$$hole, but I don't agree that he's not talented."

Black then noted that West is "really" talented, but also a narcissist.

"It's the narcissism that kind of ruins the thing for people," Black explained.

Take a look at his slam (kind of) on Kanye West below:

Later on in the episode, Black took to the stage with musician Boy George and The Doors guitarist Robby Krieger to sing a cover of the famed Doors classic "Hello I Love You."
