Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is not responding well to those who have critiqued his new solo album, Give the Drummer Some,
according to Spinner.
Many fans of his work with Blink-182 have recently expressed that they don't particularly care for his solo work. Barker responded by calling his critics and saddened fans "closed-minded... Nazi bitches."
On his new album, Barker explored a new direction by venturing into hip-hop music. Among the
hip-hop guests on the album are RZA, Raekwon, The Game, Swizz Beats, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Pharrell, Lupe Fiasco, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, E-40, Twista, Busta Rhymes, Lil Jon, Kid Cudi, Tech N9ne, and Bun B,
among others.
Travis had a few words to say about his fans' thoughts.
"I got people who were mad when I played the Grammys with Wayne, Drake and Eminem. That's one of the biggest highlights of my life, and they'll be like, 'Stop playing this rap shit!' You know what I mean? It's like, 'Fuck you, man!'"
Well said, Travis.
Perhaps his fans shouldn't be so picky and try to appreciate Barker's new material and open their minds to it.
