America has been crying about rap for the past 30+ years, it’s time for shitty country music to catch some smoke
Same to you ob! Thanks! Hope you're well also! Feels good in a sense. The time away helps. Hesitant about disturbing the balance I'm trying to achieve in my life. Seems kind of elusive
Country music has been shitty for the past 30 years. The message of this song isn't racist, but damn you should have scouted a better location for the dumbass video.
Country from the 90s was good for me. As for looking up the history behind everything seems a bit much.
Unless the studio looked up the history, knew it would stir up controversy, and shot it there anyway to simply sell records.
For any filming - music video, television, or feature film - when the production team is out scouting locations to film, I wonder how much effort they put into researching the history of the place. If I had stumbled across that video without having seen this thread first, the location would’ve meant absolutely nothing to me. Perhaps in the future filming teams will start researching every location just to make sure something bad hadn’t happened there.
Real country to me was like Buck Owens's "I've Got the Hungries for Your Love (and I'm Waiting in Your Welfare Line)," and Freddie Hart's "If Fingerprints Showed Up on Skin (Wonder Whose I'd Find on You)."
Was carpool Karaoking The King is Gone (and so are you) today while running errands with the wife. George was the bomb and they don’t much write ‘em like this anymore … Last night, I broke the seal on a Jim Beam decanter That looks like Elvis I soaked the label off a Flintstone Jelly Bean jar I cleared us off a place on that One little table that you left us And pulled me up a big ole piece of floor … I pulled the head off Elvis Filled Fred up to his pelvis Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is gone And so are you
You had me until the “pro-life” part. But I’m not saying you’re wrong. I just need some examples of pro-life prevalence in gangsta rap? But to your broader point, I absolutely agree, which is a big reason rap blew up like it did. It appeals to a male-dominated society who doesn’t want to be f**ked with. In fact, this Jason Aldean song follows suit with a lot of those same ideals.
