While "Ramblin' Rose" and "Motor City is Burning" open with inflammatory rhetoric, it was the opening line to the title track that stirred up the most controversy. Vocalist Rob Tyner shouted, "And right now it's time to... KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHERFUCKERS!" before the opening riffs. Elektra Records executives were offended by the line and had preferred to edit it out of the album, while the band and manager John Sinclair adamantly opposed this. The original release had "KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHERFUCKERS!" printed on the inside album cover, but was soon pulled from stores. Then, two versions were released, both with censored album covers, with the uncensored audio version sold behind record counters.
Making matters worse, Hudson's department store refused to carry the album. Tensions between the band and the chain got to the point where the department stores refused to carry any album from the Elektra label after the MC5 took out a full-page ad that, according to Danny Fields, "was just a picture of Rob Tyner, and the only copy was 'Fuck Hudson's.' And it had the Elektra logo." To end the conflict, Elektra dropped the MC5 from their record label. Ironically, band members later alleged that Elektra official Jac Holzman encouraged the use of the epithet on the record itself.
In the end, the album is widely considered a vital step in the evolution towards punk and a variant upon what would later be referred to as garage rock.
