Am I missing something in the way this article comes across?

What I made from it was a complete lack of understanding about the man himself, and what he thinks. The headline of the article made me just think the person who wrote it is just looking for some kind of attention, or to say something controversial for the sake of being controversial.

From seeing the man present the "Friday Night Project" a couple of weeks back, what man I saw was an overworked, but genuine and honest man, who cares a lot for his work. I hadn't heard a lot about him before, other than that he was a rapper (and had released "Stronger"), but his image doesn't seem anything like the sterotypical gangster ideology.

It's beyond me how someone can write such an article without getting their facts straight, or actually having any clue what they're on about. It seems like one of those gossip magazine articles really.

EDIT: On a side not, I think that CD art looks absolutely superb!
