Why does Kanye West pretend he is from the hood in this album?

He knew he had to heavily pander to his retarded audience in order to win them over

I always figured it worked thematically with the album.
The message behind this album is “you dont have to go to college to succeed”. Starts off with a song about succeeding on your own terms outside of the school system.
Makes a lot of sense and iirc the song is nice to listen to like eating a tasty caramel square

This.

He's an artist. He's allowed to be whoever he wants to be in the name of art..it's like poetic licence.

He doesn't pretend you idiot, he is talking about the poor kids in college who have to sell drugs to get some money.
