I have a relationship with Jedi Mind Tricks that makes me a little uncomfortable. They sound good. I really like their sound but when you listen to their lyrics it is really awful. Lots of anti-gay, hateful and other stuff that is really not what I am about. I have settled into just listening to the music because it sounds good and ignoring the lyrics but it gets hard. I don’t worry that the music is going to sway me to that viewpoint… I am not that weak willed. Really I just wonder how others deal with music they enjoy the sound of but feel uncomfortable about the meaning behind.
This is essentially why I made this post. It continuously bugs me. I would never go to a live show or otherwise support them financially. But sometimes their sound just hits right and I feel like listening to it. I know there are those out there that will take the lyrics to heart and that churns my stomach.
