In general, too often people give rap artists passes for idiotic, despicable crap and Kanye is exhibit A. I'm not easily offended, but when people are putting out dumb-ass shit like "The New Workout Plan" and critics are calling him a "genius" I think we have a problem. "Yeezus" made my head hurt it's so stupid, self-justifying and clueless. It's a shame because that album is unbelievably well produced.
