In the immortal words of Lenny Bruce, "It's the suppression of the word that gives it the power, the violence, the viciousness." Mindless Self Indulgence is NOT racist, and the usage of some not-so-PC words in their songs is not indicative of the bands hatred or distaste for any culture, creed, or ethnicity. MSI's fans come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and are all welcomed with opened-arms no matter what they look like, or where they're coming from. It is true, many critics have questioned the band for using the word "*igger" in their songs -- they unfortunately are not taking the time to think about the bands satirical take on hip-hop music and culture, and their otherwise brash attitude in regards to the established quota of what society deems "the norm." Why is it deemed acceptable for Clifford Smith (AKA Method Man) to bust out on "Bring The Pain," but it is "in poor taste" for Jimmy Urine to do the same? It is a great song Mindless Self Indulgence wanted to cover -- should great music be restricted by nationality or race? Should we really waste our time dissecting this kind of the thing in the world we live in today? We think not.
