Exactly the point!

The point is that very few people know the context. Unless the guide has an explanation beside each name explaining the context (eg; Jimmy was high on drugs and picking his nose, and listening to NWA on the way to the crag, etc etc), then the reader can only take it at face value.

'Sperm Bitches' conjures images of guys getting laid with easy women, and thinking of them as bitches who are reduced to receptacles for the guys sperm.

I am sure if I had been there at the time I would think it was hilarious, and sure I've listened to Gangster Rap.... but I wasn't there, and the context isn't Compton, and the name just seems crass and degrading to women.

As an aside, I think that the word nigger is racist in any context (from memory, most of my old NWA tapes etc came with an 'R' rating).
