Complex.com has taken the random rock list a step left-of-center: to remember the seven-year anniversary of 9/11, the site has a list of 10 rappers that have been accused of supporting terrorism.

M.I.A. is the likeliest pick, considering her dad actually was/is considered a terrorist (he was a member of the Tamil Tigers), but some of the picks were surprising (like Ice-T for “Cop Killer” and ODB for making stupid threats).

The most shocking example is the rap group The Coup, who had a picture of the World Trade Center exploding on their 2001 LP, before changing it after 9/11 (pictured here).
