it was clear it meant alot to him to hang out with moneyed white people and it gave him joy when they referred to him as their "friend". nothing wrong with a kid from the projects wanting to be accepted by a world that he had only seen from the outside.

but this right here crosses the line.

"what kind of an animal would do that?"
this sounds like something that would be said from the point of view of his "friends" parents or even grandparents if they were alive. which is alarmingly pathetic. he is deeply embarrassed of himself now that he has to look at himself from a conservative viewpoint.

it has nothing to do with growing up. he is over-reacting. it's like he wants so badly to be somebody new but he feels burdened by 10 years of recorded music that paint him as somebody else.

does it ever occur to him that who he was is what got him to where he is. he wants to be seen as a business man for owning minority stakes in other people's projects but his biggest source of success is still being a rapper. as much as he wants us to think he is bigger than rap.
