The first track starts off with a famous clip of Martin Luther King Jr. saying in a speech, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." However, the song that follows is a complete non-sequitur," TMZ reports.
Later on in the record, there is a whole track dedicated to MLK, where a two-minute excerpt of him speaking is reproduced, but, once again, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual content, lyrics or message of the songs.
The album itself is reportedly well-written and well-produced, but people are alternatively scratching their heads or up in arms about the disconnect between the album's title and the MLK clips, and the rest of the album.
"Who in the hell let Justin Bieber walk out the studio with an album called Justice w two samples of MLK and every track got him having a grand ol' white ass time singin' 'bout his wife over synthesized pop beats... my blood pressure gets higher every day, oh God"
