Yes, he is, and all those other piece-of-$hit rappers are too, whether they be "talented" ones like Snoop Dogg, or "not talented" ones like Lil Jon. Consider for a second why the fuuck there is a thriving market for "music" whose content is almost universally about being aggressive, rude, streetsmart, sex with 100 different women, having a lot of money without working for it, and additional "content" such as shooting police officers. There is a market for this crap because the rappers represent people from that market. Black people who actually do respectable work for a living probably don't listen to stuff like that, but then, those people are "oreos" and aren't part of "black culture" anyway. To "black culture," what Kanye West did here is "cool" and "badass," because they would have done the same. My guess is he did it as a publicity stunt for the shock and controversy value, and his record sales will increase becasue of it.
