I for one and shocked, shocked that a rap star of all people would be so openly supportive of thuggish behavior, the criminal underground, and the rape and degradation of women. (Gosh, next thing you know, some country star like Toby Keith would shill for Ford trucks or something else equally out of character.)

Anyway, this LA Times writer thinks that the really offensive thing about the show wasn’t West’s remarks (by the way, this rapper West isn’t to be confused with the faux-rapper Cornel West, despite their obvious similarities), but rather the fact that NBC censored West’s tirade for their West-Coast audience.
