How did he revolutionize it? He did what NWA did, and frankly, I don't think he had more of an impact than Notorious BIG. People say he was the "intellectual rapper" but I don't think he was more elequent or enlightened than say; common, kanye west, saul williams.

I don't know, I don't think its disgraceful, but just because alot of attention starved well-off white kids wear your t-shirts and pretend their thugs gets you "revolutionary" status.
