Also MTV doesn't bleep it out in songs so it must be ok!
Using racial slurs in general is inappropriate, especially in a video that's being directed to a Graalian audience. I can't really tell if he's saying "yeah ******" to just everyone listening to the song or is directing it to Era players - a server that happens to have a lot of black players (or players that pretend to be black). Either way it's inappropriate, especially if it's the latter case.

Songs on MTV attract a particular audience that are okay with hearing that kind of language; language that people typically don't use in public for a reason...

As the Manager of a server he's putting himself in a bad light by releasing profane songs at an entire server's population and two globals in particular apparently aren't very happy with the way he's handling this.

Words are just words. Nothing makes one word any worse than another unless you believe it is.

The overreaction with Era's challenge is more than likely the reason globals are upset, if even they are. If they're getting involved in his personal life/decisions outside of Unholy Nation (e.g. releasing rap tracks), that's just stupid and they need to stop.
