Is naming a song "ISIS" going to far?

I kinda like the song, but idk how I feel about the title.

Video for reference, and maybe a few wanna hear it 🤷‍♂️

I had to listen to it to make sure it wasn’t about the Egyptian goddess Isis. But even though it’s not I don’t really see an issue with it given the context.

@Zaphod42 I don't disagree, but do you mind explaining your side?

To be clear I only listed to the first little bit, but it’s basically talking about the dangers that isis (and civilian combatants in general) have made for military personnel...that you can’t take your eyes off anyone because you never know if the pregnant woman is really just strapped with a bomb or if that 10 year old kid is gonna hit you with an ice pick.@SW-User

@Zaphod42 Yeah, I assume it's not your style. Looking up lyrics is usually my suggestion in those situations.
Though, these dudes spit a lot, fast. Might take a second to read 😅
The statements are a bit mixed throughout though. For clarification, these dudes have been on bad terms for a long time. They finally sat down and fixed it. Instead of taking shots at each other. This is the first song they did since becoming "friends"
The only solid statement I can get (without subjectivity), is that ADHD is a bunch of garbage.

Not sure why that would be off limits. Is there some reason two rappers should be particularly sensitive to the acronym?

@Elegy ISIS did some campaigns with music videos and such. It could be perceived in a similar way

IsIS is also the name of an egyptian god. that name has taken on a new meaning unfortunately

@NiftyWhite Oh shit. I never made that connection 🤦‍♂️

meant to get lip-service, and also... it's just a name.

@pentacorn Yes, click bait stuff.
It just seems a little over the top

@SW-User meh... i'm not impressed.
