But it's not only what you say--it's how you say it. This goes back to something said a week or two ago, that he didn't think politics belong in muisc at all. Well, I'd say, they belong in music, but only if they fit in with the music--Chuck's politics are insperable from the Bomb Squad's production and his rhyming style. Politics are only bad when they clunk, but the same goes for any subject matter. The question is, without the Bomb Squad, would Chuck have rhymed the way he did?
