i have to say a persons personality shouldnt take away from his art.

kanye may have acted like an asshole, but you can't say he's not a good writer. some of his lyrics (from songs NOT on tv or radio) are really good but aren't hip enough to appeal to teens (the music industry's biggest target).

just take "roses" for an example.. and im sorry if anything's inappropriate in here..

I know it's past visiting hours
But can I please give her these flowers
The doctor dont wanna take procedures
He claimed my heart can't take the anastesia
It'll send her body into a seizure

...

Remember when I was nine?
Tell her everything gone be fine?
But i'd be lying, the family crying
They want her to live, and she trying
I'm argueing like what kind of doctor can we fly in


You know the best medicine go to people thats paid,
If Magic Johnson got a cure for A.I.D.'s
And all the broke muthaf*&$%#s past away
You tellin me if my grandma was in the N.B.A.
Right now she'd be ok?
...

those are some good lyrics.

and please dont associate bad behavior with rap cause i know many non-rap based groups who do some bad stuff offstage.

and rap is a totally different type of music. it isn't meant to be analyzed. there is no secret technique to it. and in most cases there is no careful song structure with many different instruments or anything like that. its just some beats layed down on some tracks and some people talking poetry over it. its just something you hate it or love it.
