"...that they deem worthwhile." People want him to stop saying stupid, uninformed shit. I particularly want him to stop saying stupid, uninformed shit and trying to pass it off as the result of him being a "free thinker" or whatever buzzword he's latched on to.

I've been a journalist for a long while now, and I've been talking to and interviewing rappers for over half my life. Which means I can tell the deep-thinkers from the bullshit artists from the guys who are just talking out of their ass, convinced that they are deep. Kanye falls into the latter two categories. I could tell when I interviewed him back in 2003. He just made better music back then.

He's not a deep, misunderstood genius who has trouble expressing his thoughts. He's dumb and uninformed and convinced of his own non-existent brilliance.
