Brad Paisley & LL Cool J have colborated to make a steaming pile
(oh shit, we did bad)
of kitten puke. It is like a warm cup of “old man diarrhea” mixed
with sulfur & burnt hair. It’s a song about a southern man’s POV
and I guess a black man’s POV. Neither seem clear, and both feel;
well both are horrid stereotypes that don’t represent the whole of
said groups. I say, when addressing race start with an open mind
The lyrics are gut clinchingly bad. Brad is saying “hey, I wear the
rebel flag cause I’m a Skynyrd fan”. Umm, when you wear a Nazi
(“you’re making it worse”)
swastika, or fly a flag with violent racial history…sorry but you’re
displaying your pride, your political views, & your intolerance of
others who aren’t like you. It’s a lightening rod. When you hold it
up during a big ass storm, you’re lucky when you don’t get struck
It’s great to have pride in your heritage, it’s another to foist a flag
that represents racial division, secession, a civil war, and hate for
your fellow countrymen in the north. It literally ignores history,
& represents a tone deaf ignorance of what that means. Separate
but equal is the very definition of racism/bigotry. “You just leave
us southerners alone, & we’ll do shit our own way”. No, we live in
a country. And it’s even in the fucking title; The UNITED States,
not the “Ohhh fuck off, we want our own state called Southland”
If you can believe it, the song gets worse. Good ol LL Cool J says:
Brad: I’m proud of where I’m from
LL Cool J: (If you don’t judge my gold chains)
Brad: But not everything we’ve done
LL Cool J: (I’ll forget the iron chains)
(take your own advice)
Play this backwards, & you can hear LL singing Negro Spirituals
LL hasn’t been a rational artist for some time, & RIP. He is now a
guy just looking to make a $ on serious racial issues he should be
vested in to make better by listening & isn’t. Seems like they have
the best intentions here; but it is SO bad, so ham fisted, & wrong
It’s not because it tried to get racial with our scars deep in history
It’s just a shitty, shitty, god awful song not even trying to address
(it does)
a very real, very serious divide we have in all America today. You
don’t do it with a song, movie, or book. You can only do it with 1
thing…time. They always say that “time heals all wounds”, & as
John Lennon once famously said, “…And time wounds all heels”
Here’s to never hearing the tone deaf worst shit song of all time
Tomorrow: Anthony Weiner throws his cock…wait, hat back in
Have a day!
