those aren't the most thoughtful Kanye lyrics I can think of, and those aren't the dumbest Kweli lyrics I can think of.
You simply write Kanye off for being mainstream, when in fact you should be congratulating him for being able to create the type of music that Common and Kweli make, and still burst into the gangsta-rap laden mainstream.

We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
