Why do you 'feel' like that.
He's a white artist, so of course that's probably true but so what. There was probably a lot more black people listening to NWA at the time too.
It doesn't really matter, threads like this just create pointless race comparisons and debates and what the fuck for. There's more white people in America than black, probably (in fact very very likely) more white people listen to Kanye and many BLACK artists too.
In response to your last post - Saying Em has more rap fans because he's white is nonsense. He has as many fans as he does because of his [url]music[/url]. His skin colour was a bigger DISADVANTAGE when starting out. The odds were far more stacked against him and he faced rampant racism even when he broke into the mainstream, from magazines and the general culture at large.
Saying Em is as big as he is because he's white is a cop-out. No artist sustains 11 years of dominance from skin colour. He's an incredible lyricist and musician and incredibly far ahead of most other rappers (and musicians in general). that is why he has a lot more fans.
If it were down to skin colour don't you think Paul Wall would be just as big?
