Feel free to add on...

Would Death Be The Penalty count? Although it was mainly certain reviewers who didn't like it and it's far from mainstream... Bodycount wasn't a hiphop act but Cop Killer may warrant inclusion. What about Akinyele's 'I Luh Her'? It got the album pulled from the shelves. edit-woops saw you mentioned cop killer.

Tough to leave out Hey Mister Mister by Kool G Rap here. Probably didn't get a lot of mainstream attention, but beating a woman in public is somewhat controversial by most standards.

Yup, my fav G Rap song

+ his song with Akinyele Break A Bitch Neck (you can find it in good quality on Ak's Live At The Barbecue)

comeplete ganksta nip and necro discography lol

Menace clan aggravated mayhem

let's get butt naked and fuck Ice T
Latoya Just-Ice
how to rob 50 cent
treat her like a prostitute slick rick

Akinyele's Put It In Your Mouth
Big L's Devil's Son
Kool G Rap's Check a Bitch
R.A. the Rugged Man's Cunt Renaissance

Ice Cube 'Cave Bitch'
Ice Cube 'No Vaseline' & 'Black Korea'(removed from the original UK version of DC)
Paris 'Bush Killa' (got him dropped by his label I think?)
Paris 'Coffee Donuts & Death'
Public Enemy 'By The Time I get To Arizona' (video banned on MTV)
Willie D 'Rodney King'

I guess you could say Biggieג€™s ג€œDreams Of Fuckin an R&B Bitchג€ was controversial at the time due to the names he was dropping (just like 50 Cent did on "how to rob")

These two tracks should be considered pretty controversial imo.

Akinyele - Break A Bitch Neck
Dolomight The Lyrical Genius - 1,2,3

Silent Eclipse's 'Psychological Enslavement' album is crammed full of controversial lyrics. Certainly has more relevance for Brits but easy for anyone to see that it was pretty potent for it's time,

Silent Eclipse - Best At Slavery

Silent Eclipse - Story To Tell
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkhv_osJAIA

Silent Eclipse - One In Ya Body
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfuqLI74 ... re=related


Another controversial one is Apache's 'A Fight' followed by skit 'Kill D White People'.

It's not from the T.R.O.Y. era but the "...I don't rap for dead presidents, I'd rather see the president dead..." line from Eminem's We As Americans got him investigated by the secret service.

yall should all get lynched by NyOil

Disco Rick & The Dogs had a gang of joints...


"Fuck The President", "Lick It" & "Crack Rock" to list some ...

Another couple I just thought of:

Mobb Deep - Cop Hell (pulled by 4th & Broadway)

Intelligent Hoodlum - At Large (Original 'Black rage' version - not the watered down version that appeared on Saga of a Hoodlum)

While we're on the subject of Tragedy/INtelligent Hoodlum, i guess 'Arrest The President' was pretty controversial for it's time too.

UGK's Pregnant Pussy & Muthafucka Ainג€™t Mine

Menace Clan - Kill Whitey

Brotha Lynch Hung - Return Of Da Baby Killa

Flatlinerz - Satanic Verses

Evil Echos by Elem3nt is a pretty fucked up track that I heard on the East Coast Rarities collection. Great stuff.

prince paul - beautiful night (manic psychopath)

Some more great additions, keep `em comin`! I`m going to try to put these tracks together now...

Dunno if already mentioned but I remembered earlier today that NWA's She Swallowed It (or another track off the LP) got the Niggaz 4 Life lp (temporarily) withdrawn from sale in some countries. They used the controversy as free publicity.
