Maybe it has something to do with the contents of his lyrics...

I didn't like his last album... Is it controversial???

he's an intellectual and not a gangsta rapper....you'd think that would make him less controversial...

It must have been his controversial role on the hit UPN show, "Girlfriends".

has anyone seen one of his musical performances?
saw him open for the Mars Volta 3 or 4 years ago and loved it.

He speaks openly about racism and oppression in his lyrics. He also wrote a song about reparations that a lot of lame ass people had a problem with.
