Ignoring his recent stupidity West is a rap artist who has never glorified gang culture, violence, homophobia and has much lower misogynistic tones in his work than the average rapper.

In the genre of rap claiming his music is offensive is asinine his last 3 albums didn't even have curse words.

That song's lyrics don't glorify violence or even wealth as much as I thought they would be. I wonder if LLM actually ingested them or was instructed to avoid anything by any rapper... that would be interesting news, but given the way LLM work probably impossible to prove

Kanye has never rapped about selling drugs?

No, he's an art school dropout his musics almost exclusively about his relationships, self confidence, mental heath, creative struggles, faith/god, fame, his own god complex, politics, his mothers death and business struggles. There's no drugs (apart from references to alcoholism and depression medication), gang violence etc which are normally staples of the genre.
