Reactions
Joseph Litman, writing in The Michigan Daily, had a very negative reaction to the group. He wrote: "Three black men calling themselves "Jim Crow" is idiotic because it trivializes the historical implications of the name, especially when they know what it means." He also decried the "misogyny" and the "blind consumerism, sexism, and compromised values" particularly in the lyrics of "Hot Wheels".[1]

gollark: I like authoritarian governments, but only if they magically make everything work better with no problems and never cause problems for me or anyone else I know.
gollark: Doesn't that demonstrate that being more authoritarian and not having democracy does NOT automatically make a place good, if you don't like Singapore?
gollark: Isn't Singapore also one of those somewhat-authoritarian not-very-democracy places?
gollark: Well, I don't know much about it and don't care very much.
gollark: Amazingly enough, people sometimes don't like being subjected to authoritarian regimes?
