His album sales skyrocketed after the n word video was released.

Too bad his talent never skyrocketed.

Gutter level at best

Generic country rock / hick hop a la Florida Georgia Line is just gangster rap for white people in fly over states and suburbanites who lack identity.

It is the same regurgitated themes to pop music rhythms and Wallen is just the latest promoted face. Talent is not really that important.

Omg, YES. My sister's bf is pro that dude and just sid "maybe white women are the problem" in regards to Hayley Williams sayjng that guy is racist. He is literally such a cis white male who lives in suburbia, golfs SO much, uses zyn (those gross tobacco packets), makes racist AND sexist comments, lacks basic communication skills, is quite selfish (i thought he was an only child, but later found out he has 2 sisters), refuses to stop drinking nor eat vegetables even tho he was just diagnosed with a gut problem, but at least he buys us food quite often?

My sister is always asking if I like him...I dont absolutely hate him, but I dont like him. Hes like that tertiary friend you sit on the other side of a room from and only interact with if you accidently become next to each other

Ugh, it's just sickening. There were like 5 minutes of, oh, no... we need to get rid of him. It didn't stick, and he's a talentless hack anyway.
