Legendary rapper LL Cool J is one of the most successful hip-hop artists of all time but in 2013 when he teamed up with Brad Paisley for “Accidental Racist,” the song was dragged by his fans.
Now he admits that the decision to hop on the track was a bad one.
“I mean, I damn near don’t even want to bring it up, but if I have to it would be ‘Accidental Racist,’” he said. “Yo, I completely blew that one. Like, in terms of my intention versus how it came off to people. Oh my God. Like, I missed the mark crazy. And it always bothered me because my intention was absolutely not how it came off.”
The song generated controversy for its discussion of racism while flying th flag of “Southern pride” which included the Confederate flag. Paisley says he was inspired by the movies “Lincoln” and “Django Unchained.”
The rapper continued, “I feel like it was like having a hot date with a vegan and setting everything up wonderful and the first thing the chef brings out is a big, juicy steak. But you think it’s vegan still, you know what I mean? I completely screwed that one up and didn’t mean to.”
LL Cool J fans agree the song is one of the worst features of his career.
