Why the hell is his label letting him do that? They have to know it's going to hurt their ability to advertise it, and in turn hurt sales.

because his label knows that censorship of a record for any reason generates interest in that record. God Save The Queen by The Sex Pistols was deemed so offensive that no radio station would play it and the british music charts wouldn't print its title. all the hoopla around it caused it to go #1 anyways, and for the time it was on the charts they left the chart position it occupied blank.
the lesson learned? even a mediocre and rather pedestrian piece of music can be successful if you convince teenagers that adults don't want them to hear it.
