It's a good read and Whitlock has never shied away from controversial opinions. Bayless is a total instigator. He says **** just for the reaction. Many of the people from said "hip hop culture" who watch him are people whose reactions have a tendency to spill over into threats of and actual violence. Bayless knows this and like Stern and Jim Rome before him he pushes some serious buttons. If you want to see a GREAT movie that's somewhat on topic with this check out Oliver Stone's "Talk Radio" from 1988 starring Eric Bogosian. That movie is based off of another book entitled "Talked to Death", which is something a guy like Bayless now needs to think about every time he steps outside his door.
