As for Kanye being held to a "classy standard", he is the one that wants that. His entire image is "look at me, I'm classy". He made an entire 35 minute video, compete with foreign economic analysts, luxury banquets', and ballerinas...
Kanye is as gangsta rapper as Lil Wayne is a Country Rockstar in the image depart.
Kayne is actually, now that I dwell on it, the "rapper" equivalent of a Hipsters.

"Dear John
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young
To be messed with
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home
I should've known.
It was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young
To be played
By your dark, twisted games
When I loved you so.
My mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine
You'll add my name to your long list of traitors
Who don't understand
And I'll look back in regret
I ignored what they said 'Run as fast as you can."
-Taylor Swift
If you can't read between the lines, I can't help you with that.
You missed the entire point of the banquet scene. I'm not explaining for you.
Now that I dwell on your comments you have no clue what you're talking about and you have a false shallow stereotype of what "gangster" is. George Bush is a gangster, JP Morgan was a gangster. "Gangster Rap" is a made up term by the media to embellish the "East Coast vs West Coast" beef and the real life events of the early 90s. The term that made it easy to criminalize rap as the cause and not a result of the situation. The same way they blame Marylin Manson's music, and videogames for Columbine. Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac didn't identify themselves as gangster rappers. They were telling the story of what goes on around them.
Furthermore, I could argue that Lil Wayne is the biggest country "rockstar" in the world. Not in the sense that he makes music that fits in what you believe is the country genre but Louisiana is about as "country" as you can get, and he has more of a "rockstar: I don't give a f*ck attitude" than just about everybody in music.
Your last point is irrelephant every black person is a hipster in America. Either you're a hipster to black culture or a hipster to white culture; what are you really saying?
