I love how up in arms people are about the marijuana centered lyrics and themes on this album. What the fuck were you expecting? His biggest mixtape was called “Stoner Charm” and his break out single talked about the “lonely stoner”. Cannabis culture in rap music has inspired some of the most seminal rap albums (Dr. Dre comes to mind). But you’re probably all over the Chronic, enough time has passed that it’s acceptable for stupid white kids from the suburbs to appreciate the “uninspired lyrics”.

very well put Daniel, I feel exactly the same way. The miring of his legacy in controversy is all the more tragic when you look at the whole picture of his life.

And I love the comments I’m seeing all over the web about how all of the sudden everyone is an MJ fan. Thriller is the best selling album of all time you assholes, of course everyone is an MJ fan.
