This has been discussed here, at great length.
Any argument someone can bring up for not liking him is pretty stupid, generally.
He's dope. The close minded will call it an anthem for gays, but anyone with any sense will see it took some courage to make a song like that. In an industry where 99% is overly concerned with what the next man thinks (talk about gay), this guy is just being honest. Most musical genres celebrate that type of rawness, but Hip Hop, since the '90s has been so aware of itself and what it's defined as that people rap/write scared. Which is typical, because assimilation is normal. Conformity. It's funny, because Hip Hop used to be anti-establishment. Now it's a billion dollar industry, with a whole slew of fake rappers who grew up on fake rappers. lol @ Dr. Dre talking about being anti-drug while he was in NWA. It's all a gimmick, and most of you are too stupid to realize it. So much so, that actual 'realness' is looked down on, because it's not cool.
