If only Kid Rock’s dad would’ve pulled out.

So did his dad

My favorite Kid Cock moment was when the video of him shooting a case of Bud Light with an AR was immediately followed by a video of him drinking a Bud Light at his club a week later. Fucking rage bait sissy cowboy wannabe.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 32 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

It was an mp5. Just fyi.

Edit for clarity: guy is still a complete tool despite having good taste in guns.

[–] Slashme@lemmy.world 130 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Who cares what video format it was on?

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 31 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How have I never made that connection before‽

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Because it's the successor to the mp4!

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 17 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I legit lost track after mp3.

Kid Rock is the human form of that amalgamation of nasty grease and juices that collect at the bottom of a neglected trash can

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 40 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Kid Rock is what happens when your dad owns a bunch of car dealerships and you're raised on an estate with an orchard but want to cosplay being a poor white kid.

I'm not even joking.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

In that privileged and sheltered context gotta imagine the sewage of rhetoric that indoctrinated him as a child was constant. Racism is inherited.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

It's like the Duck Dynasty grift.

Can someone explain why Ludacris would want to do this show?

[–] coalie@piefed.zip 82 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

He did not, his people said he was put on the list without his knowledge.

https://ew.com/ludacris-drops-out-of-rock-the-country-festival-lineup-after-fan-backlash-11887716

Ludacris' rep claimed it was "a mix-up" that he was ever part of the lineup in the first place.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 42 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Big sigh of relief, thought we had another snoop lap dogg.

Is there any comprehensive list like this for all boycotts? All art, brands, etc.

Was reading the 3 Doors Down singer who just died was also a Trumper.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Since I don't know the stance of their survivors I'll abstain from adding the dead to the list.

The film "That's My Boy" is now ruined. And the Ridiculous 6 is on thin ice.

Mac was never maga, he came out with the Donald Trump single when he was just the “business” guy on TV; his Obama birther bs coincidentally started nearly concurrently with release of the song. Mac was outspoken calling Trump a douche

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 16 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Donald Trump has been a horrible piece of shit for over thirty years and his daddy funded the KKK, but regardless Mac took it back.

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Mac probably wasn’t aware of all this at the time he made it when he was a teenager. Most people back then just saw Trump as the tv show businessman ‘your fired’ rich guy. Lots of rappers before Mac made songs that also named dropped Trump as well.

Ugh his hair looks so stringy and greasy. How is that a look that one strives for.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Maybe he can unload lead into some Bud Light to blow off some steam.

The only song of his that i ever heard, is a bad cover song. Why is he even famous?

[–] Aljernon@lemmy.today 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

In 1998, he released a Rap-Rock album with metal and southern rock influences called Devil Without a Cause that was widely considered an exemplar of rap-rock and played heavily into his then Redneck Pimp stage persona. It was critically acclaimed with most professional reviewers giving 4/5 stars or 80/100 and better scores while selling ultimately over 11 million copies. And it had some legit bangers (even if they're hard to listen to now with what a shit bag he's either become or revealed himself to be).

Later he transitioned away from rap-rock toward country, Southern rock, and blues while adopting shitty conservative politics to go with his new stage persona. This is what most people know him for now.

Does anyone know what the viewership numbers for the All Racist Halftime Show were compared to the official one? (Amazing performance by Bad Bunny, BTW. The choreography and props were so good it looked like a music video.)

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 3 weeks ago

Joke's on so if them, IDGAF about sportsball or its intermission.
