      Axl gets off the bus at LA CENTRAL start of WELCOME. He gets hassled by police. he has beefy black men trying to scam him, he has homosexuals hit on him as he slept on the streets. He wrote it from a white bread hayseed firebrand. LITTLE DUDE. And he was scared. so he called SOME of those people nasty names. THATS THE STORY I DONT CONDONE KNEW HE WAS BEING PROVOCATIVE. UNFAIR ON SLASH.. He thought he was doing WOMAN IS THE N OF THE WORLD but HES NO LENNON.

      Hey Finn, I've always been a huge fan, but your research on this could've been better. Ozzy does write all his own music, and HE wrote the song as an ode to his friend Bon Scott of AC/DC who died after getting too wasted and choking on his own vomit in his car a few years prior.

      Love you Finn but falsely accusing people of hating Cardi B due to her color is very sad to see. The race card is the laziest card in the book and is intellectually dishonest (typically something you’d see from some they/them green-haired nut job in Brooklyn). Rihanna and Beyoncé are both black and are beloved. People hate Cardi B because her music sucks and she admitted to committing crimes in the past when she was an exotic dancer.

    About Cardi B I don’t understand why the discourse falls always in racism or “black woman successful, not good”. It’s not that. Here’s the thing:
    - BMTH - Avalanche: song about depression and how to cope with it -> Video is restricted because it’s offensive and inappropriate (now the restriction is gone, but few years ago there’s)
    - Cardi B - WAP: we just see now what the song talks about and how the video is made -> no restrictions.
    This is the problem: double standards.

    I had written the lyrics to Slayers “At Dawn They sleep” in a math class in 87 when I was in high school. Apparently I left the paper on my desk because the next day my teacher, Mrs Hoffman, had a talk with me.
    She was smoking hot too so after class when she asked me to stay I was like “holy crap, it’s happening!”
    Nope. Nothing like that. She was very stern with me asking if I was in a good place.

    I don’t care about Cardi B’s music or image if she wants to sell sex then go crazy, it’s been done for years and I don’t have a problem with it. However, if a male artist admitted to drugging and robbing women then their career would be over. Cardi B has openly admitted to doing that to men and essentially f all happened from it and no one really gives af about it in the mainstream. That’s kinda messed up.

She wasn't necessarily a fan of how abrasive the delivery and music was but she'd hear the lyrics from me singing and failing to scream well and was kinda surprised but acknowledged that there are some really insghtful and powerful messages there.

    6:14 I think you're way off here, Finn. Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande get just as much negative reception as Cardi B.
    And if you think that it's just an anti-woman thing, let's not forget that the most hated musicians of the last several decades are probably Justin Bieber, Nickelback, and Imagine Dragons.
    Honestly, I think it just comes down to a contingent of metal fans not liking anything that's insufficiently technical, too popular, or both. It's really unhelpful to assume it's because they're bigots.

      It worked. Although the Prodigy is a favourite...I have a 5 year old and another 5 year old who will be 6 tomorrow. Blues and Groove is what will either excite the kids or put them to sleep.

The way some people were outraged at this song at the time you would think it was just overtly advocating for assault.

    The outcry from metalheads for WAP was the same as metalhead outcry over Jason Aldean.
    Like “WAP” is a horribly written song and the only reason anyone defended it was because Ben Shapiro was mad at it. A LOT of real musicians commented on the lack of quality for the song and lyrics. “The little dangly thing in the back of my throat” is just looking for syllables.
    It may actually be the lowest amount of effort anyone has put forward to get a gold record.
    And then you combine it with her already being known as a terrible, you’re going to get backlash from your typical musician.

Even the censored lyrics are innapropreate.

    The problem with the “Woman of Color” argument is that it’s an invincible one that can’t be challenged without the challenging party coming across as bigoted, due to everything being reduced to “you’re racist if you disagree.” It ignores all valid criticisms and pigeon holes the opposing view. This leads to more division, which really isn’t the goal here, is it? If you like songs like WAP and the content thereof, you should be able to enjoy it and also understand the perceived consequences of this messaging reaching the mainstream, where young kids quickly gain access. What’s also interesting is how you strawman criticisms about Cardi B to be about race, as if criticisms about hedonistic, vulgar, lazily-written lyrics or other valid criticisms are exclusive to black creators and anything that challenges it is sexist and racist. I’m sure there are criticisms from the metal community that are racist and sexist, but let’s not imply that there aren’t valid examples. Women of color are not invincible to criticism. You also list two other bands afterwards as if they contradict bigoted metal fans criticisms or have anything to do with your previous statement about cardi b being black.

    My friends thought 2 Live Crew was the funniest thing when we were in middle school so the outrage over WAP as if it was a new crass low was so confusing to me. My other big gripe is the flattening of everyone under the age of eighteen that happens when people want to emphasize their culture war point by calling them children. I wouldn't want my 7 year old listening to WAP but I wouldn't give a shit if a teenager did.

    I don’t think race has anything to do with it… i feel like this race baiting sh!t has been going so hard people just think everything is racial. Metal heads aren’t as offended by “infant annihilator” and bands like that because they’re obscure and you have to see them out to find them. Cardi B is a major pop artist and we all know pop music is marketed to young people and she speaks pretty nasty/freaky and people don’t want their children to be victims of hyper sexuality.

    I don't think I'd ever actually heard "WAP" until I saw this video. I work in a kitchen so I'm forced to listen to terrible garbage on a daily basis, and I've heard a lot. Somehow, despite all the hoopla, I escaped this one.
    Okay, I'm going to posit this theory, not as a metalhead (which I am not) but as ... just a person. A conservative. First of all, I understand where Finn is coming from about not being offended by outrageous art (in Cardi B's case, that's definitely with quote marks), but I see a couple of subtle distinctions he has failed to make vis-a-vis objections to it. For one thing, Benny, and conservative voices like his, are not offended in the way Finn imagines they are. Ben Shapiro is clearly making fun of Cardi B (and more recently, Sexyy Red) and with every right. These people deserve to be made fun of. It's not like Ben Shapiro has never heard a four-letter word and is now scandalized. Part of the frustration that people (mainly on the right) have with trashbags like Cardi B is the tedium factor. Like, ugh, didn't we go through all of this thirty long years ago with Madonna? Is Pennywise coming back again? Conservatives are, by nature, more romantic and idealistic than liberals. What revolts us is not the "shock" of the latest money-grabbing hussy grinding in front of a camera. I'm old enough to remember Lil Kim and Missy Elliot and it has been the same pathetic story over and over with these women. I am actually more scandalized, more truly offended, that someone such as Finn would think commonplace crap would actually cause my cheeks to crimson! What bothers us on the right (I know nothing of what gets metalheads going) is the reduction of human desire to the material to the exclusion of the spiritual. The left has been waging a war against the spiritual aspect of man since at least Malthus and Kant and Mill and Cardi B is exactly what the adults in the room expected would happen.
    The other thing that Finn misses is that engaging in sinful behavior does not deprive the participant of an objective view of reality or a voice with which to express it. Imagine a career bank robber goes on TV and says, "I hope they catch the bastard. Stealing people's money is just wrong!" Well, is he a hypocrite? Yes. But is what he is saying less true because he is? This a analogous to Finn's portrayal of the objectors to Cardi B. Are they watching porn? Maybe. Does that mean it's not bad to watch porn, and arguably MUCH WORSE to have it broadcast where impressionable kids can access it?
    Are we better off, as individuals and as a society, by raising our lowest impulses to the standard, or are we better off raising a standard higher than our lowest impulses and being glad for it even as we fail?

    Finn reminds me of a Dave Chappelle in early 2000s. He trojan-horses a lot of thoughtful conversations and social issues into his intrertainment. And what i appreciate even more that he gives them another round from time to time to solidify and expand as the audience grows. That is how a good content maker should be these days.

      And that is why it’s popular and why rock and metal music is not. I’ve been saying this for years already. Rock and metal music takes itself too seriously. It has doubled down on the seriousness. There’s no fun in it anymore. And like what Gene Simmons said: “Rockstars stopped acting like rockstars.” There’s a reason why a lot of the rock and metal was popular throughout the 60s all the way towards the 80s.

    For some reason, people have this "bad music = bad person" mentality. Art isn't always autobiograhical. We don't know these people. What we see in the media and on the internet isn't always true, it's usually cherry-picked, biased information and sometimes it's just based on a persona. They could make music you hate or find offensive but for all you know, in real life they could be kind, loving, moral, good parents, great friends, etc.. If anyone should know this, it should be metal fans.

    I would assume that some of the justified frustration might come from the mass popularity of Cardi B, and the messages that, for example, a young 8 to 12-year-old daughter (or son) might be consistently around. And I guess the generational difference of when we were young, the messages we were getting from mainstream music, to now. I guess you could say that’s projection of frustration from an overall Perspective of the Internet and what kids have available.
    I’m not a parent yet, so I can’t really talk, and I guess that’s just the world today, as opposed to pre-dial up and maybe being able to afford TV to watch MTV.

    Here's the thing... about Cardi B that gets deflected by the white knight crew, no offense: she's probably the most example of how porn has seeped into every form of media and the zeitgeist in general. It is now infinitely more accessible to everyone, including children. I won't say "minors" because most of us became exposed to it around puberty. To say the parents weren't good parents if they weren't concerned about Suic*de Solution in the same breath as laughing at the fact that this song is targeting young girls, by your own admittance, is absolutely insane to me. And no, I don't listen to Infant Annihilator or Cannibal Corpse either. Nor do I think porn being made so socially acceptable is a good thing. It's a major problem in western society and it really shows when you look at the rise of mental illness, toxic romantic relationships, and divorce (and the family unit in our country in general). Music like Cardi B put the nail in the coffin. Now pre pubescent children walk around singing and rapping about scenes you'd find in a porno. Good job.

    I got the answer as to why NWA isn't and won't be canceled for their lyrics. Because stuff like Bitch Is A Bitch isn't a mainstream song. The general person knows NWA because of Fuck The Police, Express Yourself(First song I heard of theirs, Thanks GTA SA) and Straight Outta Compton and even maybe Gangsta Gangsta, Dope Man and Chin Check. Only the engaged fan of NWA, rap or music in general will find those songs. Hell I didn't know about Bitch Is A Bitch until the NWA movie because I just wasn't the invested into NWA other then the core hits. So those songs are 100% just flying under the radar even with millions of plays on Spotify.
