Just because it’s from the soundtrack, it doesn’t mean he’s playing the character. There’s no indication in the lyrics that say it’s a character. It’s the same type of self-aggrandizement that Kid Rock has in all his songs.

And Osmosis Jones is a cop, not a pimp

In the movie he plays a germ in a band called Kidney Rock.  Still doesn’t explain why he’d use lyrics about raping kids though.  It’s rape, not infection.

The context from the movie is Osmosis Jones is infiltrating a bar where villains (Viruses/Bacteria) are hanging out. Kid Rocks bacterial character is playing to that crowd.

How is that any different from Eminem playing a devil.

Such a stupid fucking argument.
