Why he might not be annoying:

    His brainchild with Talib Kweli, Blackstar, was named after the first Negro owned steamship company in Africa.
    He is prophetic about the music business, saying 'The revolution is personal, I'm not doing this for public acclaim. I'm doing this because it's sincere to me, it's real to me and whoever has feelings about it,' and 'I'm not just inspired by black art, but good art, representations of art that are sincere and genuine.'
    His performance on the off-broadway play 'Topdog/Underdog' has been critically acclaimed.
    He is at the forefront of a new revolution in rap, one that promotes real rap music, not the commercialism of today.
