It’s hard to find a place to start with “Accidental Racist.”
There’s the fact it’s already bad because of it’s stereotypical country drawl. “Accidental Racist” is terrible in terms of what makes a song sonically pleasing.
Did anyone ever think a country-rap hybrid could be worse than Nelly and Tim McGraw’s “Over and Over”? But then there’s the misguided and ultimately, ironically racist lyrics.
Toward the end, LL Cool J, in an impressively monotone and uninterested appearance, offers: “If you don’t judge my gold chains / I’ll forget the iron chains.” If you don’t see the problems with such a statement, then maybe you’re a deliberate racist.
This nearly six-minute back-and-forth is anything but progressive. “Accidental Racist” is an abomination to music and the human race.
