Try That In A Small Town – by Jason Aldean

Fifty two years after Ten Years After took a dig at the “…freaks and hairies, dykes and fairies…” who tried to normalize depravity, a country singer took a tough stand against the American left’s sleazy, crime-coddling agenda disguised as “justice.” Predictably, wokesters called the song “racist” by overstating vague allusions to lynching. Their main angle with just about anything is the R-word, especially when called out on their evil riots.

This blog has covered the sickness of those people here, so this post is mostly about the hypocrisy of violent gangsta rap music, especially Drill Rap. You never see leftists boycotting that misogynistic, shallow garbage, so why are they fixated on Aldean?

Because he brashly told them what they really are. His lyrics dive right into the American crime wave unleashed by BLM over the death of a drugged-up home invasion robber in 2020, with subsequent trials biased by the threat of more riots.

Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it’s cool, well, act a fool if ya like

Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you’re tough…

The song mentions guns, but firearms (often illegal) have been a centerpiece of gangsta rap songs for decades, contributing to the cycle of black urban crime. Aldean’s use of the term “round up” is open to interpretation but it mostly looks like a defense plan if mobs of woke-emboldened thugs invade a peaceful town. They’d have every right to post snipers or whatever it takes, e.g. when fracking peaks and thugs run out of urban gas to steal.

Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they’re gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck…

Aside from mentioning “good ol’ boys,” that’s as “racist” or violent as his song gets, and keep in mind who started the recent, unprecedented U.S. crime wave. There’s nothing wrong with reacting to crime with a show of force, since that’s all dumb criminals really understand. The “brutal” police know this too well, and mainly try to avoid getting killed when they take out thugs.

Now, read these rap lyrics from a Chicago collaboration of Fly Boy Gang & Young X Dutchie (seemingly a crew of criminals who do music on the side).

My young niggas, they gon’ murder (They’ll murder)
Shoot (Shoot), kill (Kill)…

For real (For real), get killed (Get killed)
Shit real (Shit real) in the field (That field)
So don’t be fuckin’ ’round wit’ my monsters (My monsters)
Got big guns like Contras (Like Contras)…

And the following wickedness is from a 1992 rap song by Ice-T & Body Count, considered a staple of this rarely peaceful genre.

I got my twelve gauge sawed-off
I got my headlights turned off
I’m ’bout to bust some shots off
I’m ’bout to dust some cops off
I’m a cop killer, better you than me
Cop killer, fuck police brutality…

For decades, blacks have tried to mask their rampant crime by scapegoating police reactions to it and glorifying dangerous lifestyles. Mealy mouthed leftists see that as the result of racism (not basic bad character), so the excuses won’t end until enough blacks stop identifying with their worst element. Other races usually shun criminals in their midst, though some Hispanics wallow in gang adulation, which doesn’t improve their reputation.

In the UK, courts have successfully prosecuted black criminals using the very words they write or get inspired by, but once again, woke hypocrites claim they’re just misunderstood, even though rappers around the world are constantly involved in gun or knife deaths. What’s up with people who refuse to simply call criminals bad? Logically, they’re criminals themselves, or extremely naïve about the thug mindset, like those who rescue pit bulls and claim they’re harmless dogs.

Getting back to Jason Aldean’s track: Not only is it a satisfying dig at the left’s twisted love of criminals for racial reasons, it’s a very good tune, musically. Lots of energy, never dull. If it was only strong because of the lyrics, it may not have been noticed as much.

Note that Aldean could have been shot himself had he not been pulled offstage when a maniac started gunning down Las Vegas concert fans in 2017. The far-right and its support for the NRA is another aspect of American gun violence. They share a pseudo-patriotic brand of hypocrisy and detachment from crime victims. White gun zealots need to ditch their own identity politics (emotionally dependent on firearms) and grow some moral character, just like ghetto blacks. Too many guns are in circulation and hoodlums end up getting their stash from thefts and straw purchases of legal guns. It all ties together, and “thoughts & prayers” are useless unless more people take a stand for lives vs. metal worship.

Aldean has also associated himself with Trump, which stains his overall moral character, but this song should stand alone as an anti-woke anthem, acknowledging the singer’s imperfections.

The left has been encouraging a wave of criminal mayhem in American cities for over three years and good people are sick of their smugness about “justified” crime. Wokeists push a combination of Critical Race Theory, bail reform and useless DAs, like the one recalled in S.F. who was literally raised by criminals. Someone had to call out this depravity in a succinct way that grabbed attention beyond standard news debates. Good work, Mr. Aldean!
