I think he's definitely troubled—his frequent allusions to suicide, including at the end of this article, are certainly an indicator—but, I think it's a fascinating window into the mind of someone who is definitely creating good (and if not good, interesting art). That, and the illumination of how he feels about there being an irreparable divide between "white" and "black" entertainment.

He's definitely smart, I'm just not sure if he's wise. He seems very addicted to wanting more power and influence.

Interesting article though, he does definitely create art works of interest, even if they're sometimes morally lacking.
