I don't see why everyone has so much hate towards him. I think he has a Dave Chapelle way about himself. He's not afraid to say what he means, whether it be about sex, race, money, drugs etc., and has a humorous way about sending his message(through his music). Sure, his profanity is a little(ok a lot) excessive, but atleast he has something to say that doesn't involve rims, Escalades and hoes, layed over a crappy beat.

I agree with what you're saying, though I think he took the idea of offensive remarks a little far. He seemed to begin living entirely off of his ability to offend pretty much everyone.

I hope he retires, because I think the industry is getting a little fatigued from him. I'd hate to see his image deteriorate to where he's resented and eventually goes down less than respectively. He is one of the greatest rappers ever and I think if he stays around for another mediocre album or two that his legacy will be damaged. It's impossible for him to have under-the-radar albums like other great MCs have had later in their careers (Ice Cube, Common, etc.) because of the media sensation that he has been. Going out (and not like Jay Z or Master P) is the best way to preserve his image and legacy.
