Added DiffLines:

* NightmareFuel: "Father". Over an eerie sample of Music/GeorgeMichael's "Father Figure", LL describes the abuse he endured as a child at the hands of his [[AbusiveParents father and later, his mother's boyfriend]] in unflinching detail. The third verse reveals that when he was just four years old, after he and his mother had fled to her parents' house, his father got drunk, found them, and blasted both his mother and his grandfather with a shotgun (fortunately, they survived).

Added DiffLines:

* DontShootTheMessage: "Accidental Racist" provoked considerable backlash at the clumsy handling of a complex topic — namely, the lingering effects and divides from America's nasty history of slavery and racial segregation. While it is a very serious message which could work well, neither Music/BradPaisley or LL Cool J did a good job addressing it.
