The lyric in question "in two more she'll be a whore"
The entire song is about a well meaning guy being powerless to rescue a girl from an abusive family and a fucked up system.
These motherfuckers are trying to slander him as a pedo.

Not to mention Sublime had the song Date Rape that's specifically about the perils of creepy dudes.
Close reading is dead.

If anything is problematic it's "dateremoved" but honestly, at least for the time it's pretty mild.
He should be cancelled for that weak ass guitar riff after saying "I can play the guitar like a mother fucking riot" on What I Got, more than anything
probably giving a white boy with a guitar too much credit but i always kinda assumed that was ironic
Think about all the white guys that probably think that riff is hot unironically lol
Haha yeah
He doesn't play actually play that riff either, it's Miguel that plays it in the recording.

This is like trying to cancel Kurt Cobain for the anti-rpe song "rpe me".
Guess I should have linked the comments. I missed that. All the replies though were not that.
Zero media literacy
Also he already cancelled himself :( so this is in even more bad taste
He also was dead by the time the album the song is on came out.
Kid Rock was singing about some shit in A CHILDRENS MOVIE, I think we can leave sublime alone
Look if you're gonna drag a band, drag someone like Absurd or Skrewdriver cmon now
Can't really cancel a guy who's been dead for nearly 30 years
