Excellent point!
This is a good thread! There are lots of good arguments on both sides. I seem to remember etcd32 mentioning in another thread that he's not making a whole lot on this gig. For that reason alone, I think you are getting much too wound up. Decide quickly if you are going to do it or not and move on so you can ditch the anxiety.
First thing, do you have another project that you can immediately begin working on? If not, this project may be a good experience for you to learn. Now of course I know nothing about this artist, but think about this: If Eminem was in your studio rapping about killing Kim and his mother, would you send him on his way? All I'm saying that if the raw talent is there, it could be good for you.
Another thing to consider-- I think of my clients and how much they've grown over the years... It's very possible that you might do a bang-up job on these mixes and this guy comes back again in 2 years with completely different material. He might be all about hating women right now, but things can change a lot in a year as people grow.
Anyways good luck!
