He's a business man. He came from the bottom up without having anything handed to him, and he gives back by creating jobs in the black community. The man is a true self-made millionaire.
Do I like his music? FUCK NO! I think his music is garbage, he goes through artists like dinner rolls, and mooches off of old-school samples cuz he's not really creative.
BUT, and it's a huge but, he inspires lots of people, and he represents the black American dream. Ridiculous success.
FWIW I didn't watch the vid cuz I can't stand his voice, his HUGE head, his vulture-beak lips, sunken-in cheeks, and oversized upper-torso, and he acts WAAAAY to serious sometimes.
