When whites use it, it is derogatory. As far as his music, he is considered quite gifted, and is a two time Grammy nominee.
Using the "N" word in any context, whatever your skin color is, is insulting and incendiary. No one has the right to use it. This so-called "rapper" needs to clean up his act. As far as being a Grammy nominee, that shows me that the Grammy awards ceremonies are self-important, pretentious events.
