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.

honestly, the world holds so many forms, genres, sounds of music. if a band is spreading a shitty message, there is another artist around the corner that can deliver a similar musical vibe without being caked in hateful bullshit. i personally don't get down with bands who have a garbage message for the same reason that i would tell a racist pos he was a racist pos if they used the n-word in front of me. if you truly don't like the message an artist produces, why expose yourself to the shittiness. /rant

Yeah. I would love to find a band that sounded like Jedi Mind Tricks but had the directed anger of Rage Against the Machine (not that I don't like Rage.). I think the anger of Jedi is part of why it works but the anger is gross and misguided.
