Way to go young man! You get it! No sane person wants to see their city or neighborhood torn down by destruction or physical harm for any reason. ❤

Love your reaction. As a country fan im loving the exposure he and this song is getting for others. I feel like it doesnt fit certain agendas and trying to keep this country divided, when we need to unite. ❤

Jason was performing on stage when the "Las Vegas shooter killed 69 people,,,,so yeah, he knows what's up!!

Appreciate your honest and heartfelt reaction. Thanks for telling it like it is.

You haven't missed anything, Shon. There is nothing racist about this song/lyrics or Jason. Some people have nothing better to do with their time, than to cause chaos. Great reaction.

@@michaelasay8587 I saw a TikTok video of a Democrat claiming that the crimes showed in the news clips and mentioned in the lyrics were racist towards Blacks because Jason obviously thought only Black people were committing these crimes. However the news clips do not show Black people rioting. They actually show mostly White people. Just because Jason mentions a car jacking or armed robbery doesn’t automatically mean that a Black person committed these crimes. What people read into a song or conversation or tone of voice is all on them. In this world just about anything can be construed as racist - even if it makes absolutely no logical sense at all.

Shon is not telling it like it is. He's ignorant of all the facts and oblivious to the racist dog whistles depicted in this song and video. Jason Aldean wore black face for Halloween back in 2015. He was raised in Macron, 4th largest city in his home state, but pretends he's some small town redneck. He was also a victim of a mass shooting in Vegas in which he ran away (didn't warn the crowd or anything). The imagery he shows, the protest footage, some of it wasn't even protests that occurred in the US. The courthouse he depicted in his music video is infamous for black lynchings. He promotes cop boot-licking and vigilante redneck justice. Why didn't the video include any protest footage from January 6th? Just black lives matter protests? I wonder why....

I am a girl from a small town and YES....... I have my Grand Daddy's Double Barrel ‼️ I RECOMMEND YOU DON'T 💯

Definitely not promoting violence, like you said, he is saying if you try to do something unlawful, they will stand up for what is right and defend their community

This is literally one of the coolest songs I have heard in a long time. And our country needs it. This singer is my new hero.

This song definitely brought recognition to him recently but he's been one of the biggest country stars over the past decade. "Dirt road anthem" "burning it down" "she's country" are really good. I think you'll appreciate dirt road anthem for sure. Can't wait for the reaction

My friend of 40 years has been talking about the song featured in this video and its controversy. This review video is the first time I've listened to it. There are places where certain behaviors are not only tolerated but encouraged and other places where they are not welcome at all. That's just the reality of the situation, and, thank you, Shon, for being real about this.

I live in a small town in Nebraska (437 ppl) and you’re welcome anytime, brother!

I’m from a small township at the edge of a bigger city. This song speaks for my community for sure. Nobody wants trouble in their community. That’s just normal.

As someone who lives in a town of 1200, I can confirm that this song speaks 100% truth. Someone DID try that shit a few years back after the MO protests (they showed up on the town square and burned the US flag.) didn’t take long before there were about 25 pickups on site with about 50 men with rifles making sure it didn’t go any further: needless to say no further shenanigans ensued

He’s calling out the criminals that think they can get away with looting or setting fires or rioting. Maybe that flies in cities where everyone is anonymous but in a small town, everyone knows everyone. They will stand together.

What they are trying to stop in my opinion is any promotion of community values it doesn't align with certain divisive communist agendas. Much love and blessings to you all from Australia :)

Around here, we take care of our own you cross that line, it won’t take long for you to find out! I recommend you don’t… try that in a small town!” it’s not a threat, it’s a promise!!

Love the fact you acknowledge the fact that you need to respect different areas in your travels cause what you can get away with over there doesn't always work over here

It's FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all got to take care of each other from them extremist. All people.

Shon, you are definitely all right. There should be no controversy. The song is saying don't try that in a small town. It could just as easily be don't come to my neighborhood in the city and trash it or riot or commit crimes. It doesn't really matter where you are, the small town is probably easier to relate to but it can be in any type of community. As an example, I have said this I don't know how many times, but here goes again. I lived in a small town, population around 20,000 with maybe that many more in the outlying areas. The county I lived in, in NE Oregon has a population of maybe 70,000 split between that town where I still work, I just moved to the next county over, which is also large and with way less people, and another not quite as large to the east and a smaller one yet to the NE just below the Oregon/Washington border, then several very small towns scattered around. During all the protests and riots in 2020, like in Portland and other big cities that were being destroyed and never really recovered, we also all had protests. They went on for many months, and many of us agreed with the idea. I don't think George Floyd was at all a good person but he was murdered. Not planned but it happened, it was wrong, period. So anyway, we had our protests, but one huge difference. No violence, plus no defunding or trying to harm our police departments. Except when they are giving out speeding tickets, we appreciate them. Some of the department heads even took the time to talk to the protesters about the issues. Again, it was cool, no problem. Much of SE Washington was the same way also. Through social media I have to assume, because I only knew too late to join the party, it was learned that antifa losers were coming our way. I can only guess they were never east of the Cascade Mountains which are closer to Portland. They got here in the evening, this was at the end of that August. Cops from various departments met them, and also a bunch of very obviously armed civilians. A couple of very minor scuffles happened, not worth bothering with. They left, and in the morning went farther east to the next town I mentioned. It happens to host a very major rodeo in September of every year. Many of the people look like Jason Aldean, hats, boots, jeans, and they do ride horses or are around the farms or whatever. Fortunately for the idiots from Portland, they got the same greeting. They left all sad and went back to destroy Portland some more. As far as you coming to places like this, we are kind of redneck types but we are also very welcoming for the most part, unless you give us a reason not to be. I don't know that all small towns are that way, but we are often accused of racism by morons who don't know better. A few people are like anywhere else, most are not. Otherwise, the protests wouldn't have been tolerated, no one would care about the murder, etc. We're not perfect, no one is, but you as a black man are not going to be any less welcome than anyone else. For myself, I like to meet people from different areas and cultures and learn about what they do and how their lives are. So, I don't know where you live but if you ever road trip out to the NW, come on through and say howdy. I'll show you a couple of good places to get a beer and a burger.

+ this song such a banger , it's my fav song rn !

Ain't no controversy no matter your race if you in a small town we all know each other we don't let that craziness happen we protect each other

There cancelling his song was the best PR. People who would never heard of this song, now do.

The resistance to, and criticisms against, this song tells you all you need to know about the complainers and critics. We are NOT each others' enemies. Despite of how strongly The Powers That Should Not Be would like us to think so. "Divide and conquer" is as old a strategy used by those who would be our masters as are bribery, blackmail and extortion (which they also use on a mass scale.)

real af mannn even though you recognize some country places are out of pocket you still realize the POINT this artist is trying to make

You’re right!!!

I live in a small town and we have one grocery store and a few gas stations and black and white both work there side by side just trying to make sure that their kids have the opportunity to get an education. We are a community and we will protect them all. He is singing about crime and protecting your community. If someone hears this and automatically assume that he is talking about black people then you are the racist.

The song is not about race, ethnicity, skin color, it's about criminality, and that's why he's standing in front of a courthouse. This is a song about patriotism, and standing together as a community and not letting thieves, thugs, violence, murder, vandalism, riots, etc. rule society with terror and intimidation.

Song is fire 🔥

not even a country fan but he should NOT be getting backlash for this!! hes talking about brotherhood and helping his neighbors. Nothing wrong w that! Glad you were honest thats real

Bro this song been on repeat

The lyrics are funny. Small towns do not normally have sidewalks and red lights.

your common sense is a breath of fresh air , you are stating facts W

Jason is an amazing awesome great singer been to several concerts.

The song is a litmus test for racists. There's a black woman on here saying that his lyrics about criminals are about black people. Whoopie and Joy are so mad they can't create divisions 😢

Thank you sir! For seeing through the crap! Nothing racist !!

this is what small towns all over the world are like i've seen someone who snatched an old lady's handbag get dragged into a pub he did'nt walk out and she got her bag back after 5 min's of the robbery and we have'nt had another mugging since

Jason is from Georgia where the state of emergency was. I don’t know when I don’t watch the news. But this video was shot in Columbia Tennessee, which is where Jason currently lives with his wife and family. That’s a courthouse with the flag hanging off of it which is one of the oldest structures in Columbia. People are trying to say that because of the lynching against Black people at this courthouse took place back in the 1920s that Jason intentionally shot the video there as a subliminal message supporting lynching, which is absolutely and utterly absurd. He simply shot the video there because it’s a monumental landmark in his hometown, and he doesn’t like to travel far away from his family when he works when he can avoid it because of the touring that he usually does.
