In reply to Micks.

HUGE generalization. NONE of the black male musicians that I listen to have "pretentious Gangster personalities." It's best you be specific when making such claims.

And few are claiming the album isn't good. It's good. This point has NOTHING to do with the fact that race still matters when considering how art is perceived and received. If the Rolling Stones, John Lennon, and Led Zeppelin can understand this, why is this so difficult for you to understand?
