Default It's Official: Country & Rap, worst music genres

Never mind music, this might be the worst thing in the world. Incredibly embarrassing and quite an achievement that the only thing more horrible than the melody and rapping are the lyrics. I've never heard such drivel.

It's terrible. It indirectly achieved it's goal - whites, blacks, southerners, Yankees, rednecks, and gangstas seem to be united in their mockery of it.

I can't believe it, the real life version of African Child. Aldous Snow is proud.

The song is way too slow, and some of the lyrics are ridiculous, but the guitar work is nice.

Sounds like a fairly profound message flew right through your ears. I don't see it being a hit but even hearing that message on southern USA radio stations would be somewhat groundbreaking.

The most horrible thing in the world is actually your thread title, a gross overreaction to a single song on a single album by a guy who has sold tens of millions of albums and hundreds of thousands of tickets.

And honestly, I'm not even a big fan of Paisley and no fan of LL Cool whatever.

Jason Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthem" is a great combination of country and rap, showing it can be done.

Country is the second most popular music genre in America.

My two cents.

EDIT: The two artists talk about the song and the social media firestorm today. http://www.people.com/people/article...689752,00.html

If this is something you honestly believe, then I have reason to believe you've spent very little time in the Southern U.S lately. Obviously the South still has it's problems, but this is hardly groundbreaking. Drivel is probably too kind of a word for what this crap is.

EDIT: But then again I've never been nearly as enthralled with platitudes as you seem to be.

Not a fan of the new album at all. Brad Paisley has really put out some horrible crap the last few times. For someone as talented it is pretty sad.

Worst thing in the world?! Hey I get not liking Country music and all, but that's a little much.

I never understand the over the top hate of Bieber and Nickelback when it is so easy to turn the f'in station to something else!

Embarrassing and horrible? I imagine these multi-millionaires got hammered at some industry party and decided to make a cheesy song to see if they could get a hockey message boards in a different country to talk about one of their songs! Probably bet a six-pack

You're pretty naive if you think this is the only place it's being discussed/mocked.

A well-intentioned song is utterly ruined by the lyrics having zero artistic credibilty.

Can I get a freaking metaphor? Anywhere? Please? Seriously, this is the kid of thing I would expect to hear a 9th grader read at an 'end racism' school assembly.

Good idea, brutal, brutal execution. Blech... guh.. *spit* the taste... it's still in my mouth... ecch...
