    Culturally there is a shift going on with conservative ideas leaking into pop culture which leads to songs like this to rise up the charts.

    Also the first song was probably made to drum up controversy anyway.

    It couldn’t be more obvious
    Like Madonna in the ‘90s

    the chart position might be higher but Luke Combs cover def. won't be as big as the original, probably one of the more iconic songs from its time period that everyone alive in that era recognizes

    and tracy chapman will end up making millions off the success anyway

    The Luke Combs track is only concerning as a part of the trend imo, pretty inoffensive as it is and at least Tracy’s getting the bag on a classic

    Morgan’s a piece of s*** obviously, but the song itself is mid and the concerning part is really just how much American country fans are willing to drive absolute mid to 14 weeks at the top as long as they feel like they’re “fighting back against cancel culture.” Which…

    Jason’s song genuinely concerns me. I called this out in another thread, but this guy’s biggest song to this point was a Ludacris collab 10 years ago. In a decade, the cynical country music hit formula path went from a s***ty rap song but nonetheless a song that was clearly inspired by black culture to this dog whistling sundown town mess of a track. That’s the mainstream path to a hit now in that genre. It’s disturbing and I don’t want to see what comes next if we let this slide.

    dont think you can call Last Night a hit just because people think theyre fighting against cancel culture, its pretty much the definition of an organic crossover smash hit

    and for the aldean thing i dont think there's anything we can do to not "let this slide" honestly, not like we can control the country fans and they have more pressure over the country/radio establishment then the outsiders do obv. i definitely forsee some more MAGA anthems designed to brew up controversy coming up and charting as the election approaches

    I think it’s a fair distinction that Morgan is currently the only country artist on a run like this that could crossover in such a way, but I also maintain that he wouldn’t be as big as he is without his actions confirming him as a “good ol boy” in their eyes. That’s subjective, but I’ve heard plenty of midwestern white people say it as plainly as that.

    You’re unfortunately right about not being able to do anything about Aldean. It’s just deeply f***ing depressing to see racially charged stochastic terrorism lyrics debuting at #2 on billboard like this.

    OP talking about dog whistles and then does an elastic man stretch on the last song

  • These things always swing back and forth like a pendulum

    You’d have to have worms for brains not to predict this happening after the last decade or so of placing more and more value on immutable traits and the color of your skin

    yea nah last night isn't just appealing to maga types lol and Morgan at least acknowledged what he did was wrong.

    if anything the only real racial controversy here is that Jason dude and s***s lowkey disturbing how racist that song is

    Does Country artists also have clout chasing journos like Nojumper, AK? and do they also have fan pages called CountryTV?
