20 Most Controversial Songs Of All Time

7. Body Count - Cop Killer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgPqUx4c9-M 'Cop Killer' a rap-metal track by American band Body Count (fronted by hip hop legend Ice T) caused outrage and even provoked a reaction from then president, George W. Bush on it's release. The lyrics deal with an individual, so disillusioned by police brutality, that he decides to take matters into his hands and begins killing police officers. Similar to N.W.A's 'F*ck Tha Police' in theme, this is also an inflammatory record designed to create controversy. Protests over the song were so fierce that eventually Ice T himself withdrew the record from release and the Body Count album was re-released minus the infamous track.

I love Heavy Metal, and generally anything that involves a guitar and loud noises, so I figured it was about time I put all the useless information in my head to good use and start writing a few things. Most of the time I'll be writing nonsense but occasionally I may surprise myself and appear half-way knowledgable.....but you can be the judge of that. Thanks for your fleeting attention!
