How many musicians and music fans are Clawfinger fans? In case you have not heard of them, they are an amazing rap-metal-electronic band from Sweden and have been around since 1994.
I hadn't heard of them, but a quick youtube search shows that their biggest song is simply titled (the "N-word). the YT description clarifies that this is an anti-racist song, but pc culture wouldn't always be receptive to a bunch of unruly white Scandinavians making this message. probably held them back in the States. just a guess?

Hello schmedidiah, Interesting observation.I agree with you. Actually, they have even bigger hit songs like
The Truth
Biggest & The Best
Nothin' Going On
Price We Pay
Do What I Say
Recipe For Hate
Tear You Down (new single)
Try those songs. Yeah, I can see how the N-word can make them a controversial group and I would agree that if they performed in the US, they would be smart enough not to play that song, but then again, they have so many other hits like the songs above and more.
