This album was released on September 11th 2001 and it’s only an accident of history that it was the second worst thing that happened on that day. Even if he wasn’t a massively wealthy billionaire wrong ‘un, this album would still be problematic on many levels.
Let’s look at the use of sampling here. I like sampling. A well chosen snippet of another song, used in an interesting or unusual way with proper credit to the original artist is a valid form of musical expression. Swearing over pretty much an entire Doors track is not big or clever.
Then we come to the lyrical content. As well as all of the mother effin n-words I got as far as the track Girls, Girls, Girls where he starts out by objectifying and demeaning women from all around the world before we get to a verse about a ‘young, immature chick’. Yikes. Huge nope from me.
