brad paisley, has their ever been an artist w. a v. good voice so ill served by his material ?

the fact that "Accidental Racist" starts with:

To the guy who waited on me
At the Starbucks down on Main
I hope you understand

is the most amazing thing

yeah I was like "ooh this is gonna be good"

Holy shit this song.

To the guy who gave stinkeye
for my stars and bars tattoo
I'm now inspired to share in song
a different point of view

gave me stinkeye dammit, numbers count

"but how nobody at any point puts his foot down and says BRAD. LL. DO YOU WANT TO GO VIRAL WHEN THE ENTIRE WORLD LOLS is beyond me"

they probably stopped there and were like YES, OF COURSE.

"We're still paying for the mistakes that a bunch of folks made long before we came."

Oh wah. WAH. Shut up. SHUT UP.

what the actual fuck??

haha i peeped this song title/feature credit on the tracklist of his album like a month ago and had been rubbing my hands in anticipation ever since

"We're still paying for the mistakes that a bunch of folks made long before we came."

Guilty! Of! Being! White!

oh my god LL Cool J what on earth are you doing?????

"The relationship between the Mason-Dixon needs some fixin'" - lmao i hear this like "punk rock girl" by the dead milkmen

did not expect this to be a 6 minute power ballad

Worse than the KRS-One rap on Too Much Joy's "Good Kill"

ll is ready to forget those iron chains, v charitable imo

"The relationship between the Mason-Dixon needs some fixin'" - lmao i hear this like "punk rock girl" by the dead milkmen

hahaha YES

mason dixon needs some non-phixion

glad brad paisley and ll cool j are finally starting that honest conversation about race we have been afraid to have

This is so sad for LL Cool J, ;_; forever

Now, I don't know 'bout the stars and bars
But I know beer, and I know cars
And staring up into the stars
At the glory that is America.

idea: klezmir/skinhead crossover called "I'm a little agnostic-a/bout your swastika"

"we're all still learning hoss / sorry bout that burning cross"
#accidentalracist meme sweeping the internet

Can we list all the rhyming opportunities passed up by Paisley/LL.

corn cobs / lynch mobs

don't wanna be a grinch/just want to avoid getting lynched

phat beats / white sheets
goin' muddin' in my chevy / redboxing the new Tyler Perry

thread is starting to remind me of So Nick Cannon's new song consists of the full-grown ghost of his potential self singing to his mom, asking her not to abort him?

loool forks

what rhymes with "false equivalencies"?

looking forward to the Jamey Johnson / Chuck D answer track

i'm afraid to listen to this

remember when geena davis won best supporting actress for her role in the accidental racist

YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS, VG

YOU WILL HATE YOURSELF FOREVER IF YOU DON'T

If you forgive segregation/I'll forgive your booty fixation

If you forgive Emmett Till/I'll forgive your rhymes so ill

Yeah, VG, it has to be heard to be believed.Everything about it is so utterly amazing.

I can't live without my talk radio

The depressing part is he's given every indication of being tired of supressing his liberalism and this, his first self-produced album, plays like a lib coming-out statement that is more defensive and hectoring than we expect from this dude. He's too damn late -- most people in Nashvile his age are cool with gays and uh Starbucks. I don't know who the fuck this is FOR cept ILM.

I'm sorry about Jim Crow/But UPN had some grim shows

possibly you have misread Brad Paisley

xpost okay lol

the crazy part is even our intentionally ridiculous ones aren't as bad as:

"if you don't judge my gold chains/i'll forget your iron chains" that LL actually says

I ain't no racist
No coward or a twit
But I'll yell it in yo face homeboy
I'm too legit to quit

"When you moved in, my parents fled the hood/But honestly the Bernie Mac Show was pretty good"

oh brad, jeeeeeezus christ almighty

wtf is even happening

did ll cool j really just say 'RIP Robert E Lee But I gotta thank Abraham lincoln for freeing me, na mean'

if you don't judge Gold Chains/ I'll forget 2 Chainz

like, I understand the compulsion to write a song like this this

but the compulsion ends when you put the lyrics down on paper and you look at them and go...yeaaahhhhhhhhhh this is not good

i can't even

listen to this brad
