A lot of rappers are just playing a persona. The people who are the best at it, I can tolerate in doses. A lot of these personas are character archetypes I recognize. In what context, other than a racist skinhead band, would the N word show up on a metal album? I think Guns n Roses did that once (on Appetite?), but pretty sure the song got pulled from subsequent pressings. I definitely didn’t buy any of their records during their height because of that
