in a lot of his songs he talks about how black people influenced him in more positive ways than white people, he doesn't like the idea of "race" and stuff like that

growing up? he's 35 years old.

He doesn't care about race but makes sure to identity with black people only.

Robbinsdale is a 20 minute drive from where i live. It's not exactly full of inspiring black youth (particularly not of the Muslim variety) but times have changed so i can't speak for back then.

As for the music, i find his exaggerated soulfulness- for reasons you can guess- particularly unnecessary.

I did like the champion ep though, he went hard on that. Back when his persona was new and compelling like all these sappy rhymesayer guys
