"Try a diet plan in a small town, obesity makes you look round…l"
msm cannot manage anything other than it’s supplied narrative. Garbage music coming at us everyday, but a song comes out that says look out for your values and those that have none lose their mind.
For Chris Willman to dog whistle claims that Aldean has been anti (several) things, one of which is "trans" and another of which is "vax" is really taking heavily nuanced issues and simply denying the nuances. I'm gay, but Willman would probably say I'm anti-gay because I don't blindly walk in lock-step to the beat of the millionaires on TV and in politics that insist I must believe as they believe. God, I detest these people sometimes. By the way, there probably isn't a courthouse in the South where some black man wasn't lynched at one time or another a century or more ago.
United we stand divided we fall…
He’s full of hate, and trying to explain the evil behind it! No , this is A big No for me! !!
I keep hearing about this “backlash”, but it’s very difficult to find all these angry ppl. I actually looked in comments and shows. Other than The View(which who takes them seriously?”) it’s seems to overwhelmingly have support.
Cancel that racist 💯💯💯
There's a small town in Pennsylvania named Gettysburg where a gigantic mob of gun-toting white supremacists were OBLITERATED by the United States Military, leaving their dead to be eaten by hogs.
Did your hear that Jason Aldean? Try THAT in a small town!
Shame on CMT! I think the people opposed didn’t watch the video and have their own racist issues probably assuming the references in the beginning are specific to minority crime but that is obviously not what was shown or meant by Jason as proven in his video.
When BLM protests are perfectly fine destroying whole cities while plundering … but the song saying That's NOT OK… is NOT ?!
I hope CMT goes broke over their actions. Natural consequences!
Great song, CMT loss. It made his song shoot up to #1.
The building isnt just one lynching in 1926, it's the origin of a 1946 race riot (police literally surrounding the black neighborhood) the famous KKK led "white council" and the meeting place of the police who tried to lynch Thurgood Marshall. In the preview video it shows the torn up newspaper article of a columnist calling for equality who was called a "N-lover" by the "white council"
The radical left has influence everywhere and in its process has allowed companies to suffer, CMT has joined that distinguished group of stupid. This show how nobody pays attention to the people, the masses, their clients, their viewers, they only want your vote or dollar. No word or sentence in that song has to do with race or discrimination unless you talk about the one-sided violence from the left and their followers. I just hope that the left doesn't keep pushing. Funny how they also started the civil war wanting to keep slavery now they want to enslave all of us. .
Shame on CMT !!!!! There is nothing racist about this song !!!!!!!! It’s about violence and how people feel about it !!!
I love how so many people are rallying around Jason Aldean. He's a good man and deserves the support.
Speak the truth freedom is not free unless we sacrifice and stand up for the way we feel country music comes from the American small town where we take care of our own and live civilized helping others don’t lock our doors and leave our keys in our vehicles because it’s called trust but if you want it come get ya some if you get caught -ss grass or gas no one rides for free!!!!
He speak facts . The crap in the big city wouldn’t happen in my small town or consequence’s will surely hit the thugs ten fold 😂
CMT IS IN CAHOOTS WITH THE LIBERAL MEDIA CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, FOX, JUST TO NAME A FEW POS LIBERAL DEMOTARD MEDIA PUPPETS
His music sucks before this song. He just a hack. Why does anyone care about this no talent loser.
This is un-American of them to do this
Real music about real world problems. Maybe the woke better wake to @#& up for real, especially CMT. Wanna lose viewers fast, this is exactly how to go about it. Jump on the politically correct train.
Jason Andean seems to be offended by a lotta stuff and wants to cancel a lot of people!
Congratulations to the new Bud Light. CMT viewership is down 64% and falling. They obviously do not know their audience and how much Country music fans detest wokeness and bowing to the left.
Boycott CMT let them try to survive with their Woke phony audience they try to pander to. (ABC News, what a joke, they haven't been NEWS for twenty years.)
U go Aldean Sheryl Crown can suckered ass

Perfect song……at just the right moment. I hope he stuffs this up the ass of every CMT progressive at every opportunity.
But meanwhile "Wet A$$ Pu$$Y get awards and is revered?! The music industry has promoted violence through rap and hip hop for 30+ years now, but someone decided to make a video saying you ain't pulling that crap in my town, and THAT's OFFENSIVE?! Uhhhhh NO, It's just the line you better think twice about crossing. Maybe we need to start cancelling music execs instead of artists. There is this thing called The First Amendment. You allow it for rap and Hip Hop, so now it's time to SHUT YOUR MOUTH!! CMA's….you should be ashamed of yourselves for backing down!! Half the current country songs have rap type sections in them now!! I'll bet that's forced on the artists if they want to keep their record contracts too!! I've been around that industry long enough to know what goes on behind the scenes!! It BS and it needs to stop!!
All People hate dis music are the one destroy America 🇺🇸 jason aldean try that in a small town
So let me get this right cardi b can talk about her WAP and that’s okay but this song is offensive I am not understanding
Lol people soft
The thing the liberal media leaves out is that the guy hung from that courthouse attacked and tried to assault a 16 year old girl. Those guys didn't lynch anyone they carried out justice on a rap*st.
Aldean has some great opinions, anti-trans, anti-Biden, anti -mask, anti-nonsence vacine, pro-gun, anti-crime, anti-Democrats etc. Marvelous guy.
Seriously though, how on earth can anyone view this song as "racist" or "controversial" in any way, shape, or form? Watch the music video and pause it during the news clips. There's a WHITE girl flipping off a row of cops. There's another WHITE girl spitting in the face of a cop and screaming at him. There's a person with BROWN skin lighting an American flag on fire. The footage is all REAL news clips of REAL criminals, and criminals come in all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, religious beliefs, political views, you name it. Describe any person on the planet, and there's a criminal somewhere that fits that description. Injecting racism into something that very clearly isn't racist only highlights YOU OWN racism. And for the idiots out there that are all up-in-arms and outraged because the music video was filmed at a "lynching site;" Hannah Montana was filmed at the EXACT same location. Maury County Courthouse in Columbia Tennessee, look it up. Y'all clearly aren't up-in-arms and outraged at Miley Cyrus for filming at a "lynching site," so why the double standard? Save your fake outrage and last 2 brain cells for something useful, you fucking clowns. 🤡
Its a Great song Jason. You just keep writing your songs.
1927 LOL really
Fu cmt!
@alexanderslew8852
The most amazing thing is 300,000,000,000 million people are allowing 535 traitors to destroy the country, I know George Washington would not be sitting idly by,, and Alert Einstein knew it when he said THIS COUNTRY WILL NOT BE DESTROYED BY PEOPLE WHO DO EVIL THINGS,,, BUT BY PEOPLE WHO WATCH AND DO NOTHING!!
He could have convey the same message by showing his good old boys action on January 6th when they storm the capital when they broke Windows Doors killed a couple of police officers spit in their face also was threatening to Lynch the vice president with the Noose outside so he's just projecting this is what him and his bigoted kind stand for but I digress play stupid games Win stupid prizes , and near the small town that I live in the KKK tried that in that small town Lumberton North Carolina and the African-American community and the Lumbee Tribe ran their behinds out of said small town🤣🤣🤣😂 bigots like him think that we don't see their malicious intent , when turth is they have no moral guidelines they stand for nothing isn't this the same man that created a single-parent household when he cheated on his wife and left her for the 304 he has now so please miss us with the gaslighting as if we don't already know what good old boys stand for and it's definitely not patriotism it's bullying bigotry racism incest murder genocide slavery capitalism the list goes on this is what we mean when we say stay WOKE because they rather you sleep so they can keep on playing in your face this is the virus that was here way before covid this is a virus that's making this country continue to implode from within! B1
Oh uh! He forgot to add the Jan 6 footage 😏
Go cry to your momma I love Jason aldean I hope he comes out with more songs like that.😂
how is it wrong to show people breaking the law?
