The reason it sounded like it started in the middle of a song is it started in the middle of a Luke Combs song. Luke's label has apparently tried to get this one pulled because of the presence of the confederate flags. Upchurch's response was to tell Nashville singers to stop being sissies.

We definitely wondered why it seemed like it started in the middle. Thanks for the clarification. - Keith

That flag is the Battle Flag of the Northern Army of Virginia which was commanded by Gen. Robert E. Lee. It looks nothing like the actual flag of the Confederacy(which nobody flies today). It never flew over any state capital during the Confedarcy and was little known to anyone in the South during the Civil War except for the soldiers that fought under it. Traditionally, as a battle flag, that flag has long been a symbol of pride for the bravery of our soldiers that hailed from the South and well beyond those that fought under Gen Lee's command. That flag was raised on the beach at Normandy just days after the D-Day landing and it flew on our American tanks as they entered Berlin. It was raised after many hard fought battles across the bloody Pacific and it flew (just below the U.S. flag) on the U.S.S. Mississippi as it entered Tokyo Bay for the formal Japanese surrender. There are those that (wrongly) represents racism or slavery or even rebellion because some ignorant racists in recent times have used it as a symbol of hate and in doing so disrespected the memory of the brave and honorable men that primarily fought under it for no greater reason than to defend their home, hearth and country. Upchurch has stated what that flag means to him and, like most, to him it means Southern Pride. BTW, the film crew that shot this video was black.

Perfectly said.

Ryan Upchurch is an independent artist but he does have his own label, HollerBoy Records. If you want know the unique back story of Upchurch you can watch the documentary on KZread called 'HollerBoy: The Rise of Ryan Upchurch'. His albums have charted well across Billboard's Country, Rock, and Hip Hop charts. His cover of Alice In Chains song 'Nutshell' has more views on KZread than their original. And his cover of Charlie Daniel's 'Simple Man' is every bit as good and as country as the original. That kid also has top tier lyrical and clever rap skills not to mention his being hilariously funny as well as having roughly a billion streams as an artist and content creator. He has even hinted at recording a purely Metal album in the near future. Give a listen to his song 'Pond Creek Road' for a taste of his hard rock chops. BTW, Country Rap is no more than just Rap Music from a Country rather than an Urban perspective although it often infuses elements from the country as well as rock music genres that have influenced southern rappers.

He has his own label because he will never sign to the corp.

Ryan love his music. Man has a big heart.

Upchurch is country. He raps about country life.

What is funny is when I read comments where people make clueless statements about how the Outlaw Country artists differ from this Country rap or would not like it. In reality, among the original outlaw country artists the truth is much different. Willie Nelson has recorded with Snoop Dogg, Hank Jr. is close friends with Kid Rock, David Allan Coe has recorded with The Moonshine Bandits and even has his own rap song called "Free My Mind" kzread.info/dash/bejne/mpyCy6Nqh8qccso.html and Waylon's grandson is a country rapper and both Waylon's widow, Jessie Coulter, and his son Shooter have performed on rap versions of his songs with Struggle. Luckily original Outlaw Country artists aren't as close minded to different styles of music like country rap as the critics of country rap seem to be. Had they have been Outlaw Country wouldn't even exist as a sub-genre. I heard much the same garbage about so called "Bro-Country" and when somebody claimed that "Johnny Cash would never have done that teeny bopper music" I had to sadly correct them that one of Cash's first big hits was a song called "Ballad of a Teenage Queen". "It's not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that is not true" - Ronald Reagan

@@BourbonCountryReacts There is $millions to be made in selling merch and hundreds of apparel companies that can print your shirts. Adam Calhoun used his notoriety from viral videos to sell his shirt designs to Grunt Wear and made a fortune and used that money to produce his own independent music after meeting Upchurch and realizing that an artist no longer needs a record label to have reach. Now he owns his own million dollar ACal Apparel company and has had several number 1 Billboard hit records. Upchurch did much the same thing after gaining notoriety from viral videos and being sponsored by Redneck Nation and using that money to finance his music career. Oddly when the two first recorded anything together it was a video clowning Antifa. At the time Calhoun had long ago given up on his own Rap career and Upchurch didn't even know that Adam Calhoun could rap. Today they are multi-millionaires.

@@Melody-bourbonite4life You are missing one thing, had it not been for the exposure from this song, Luke doesn't get seen. I think the biggest issue with the drama surrounding this song is what happened afterward. Church heard the original and reached out to Luke and asked if it was okay to do a remix. Then he asked if Luke would be willing to come to Cheatham County to make a music video. Both of these things Luke agreed to. Both Luke and Church get reached out to by a record label. Luke signed, Church did not. Then said record label threatens to sue Church if he doesn't remove Luke's name from the video. At the time Church was much smaller but I doubt that there was really a case there since the rights on that song would belong to both Church and Luke and even if Luke sold his rights away on it to the label, they would not be able to force Church to remove the song. Then Morgan Wallen says the N-word to a 'white friend' and the internet blows up about it and Luke goes onto a podcast to apologize about the video done with Church. Two things that stand out to me on this. 1. There were not only rebel flags in the video but there was a radio station sticker on Luke's guitar that also had a rebel flag. 2. The video was shot by Charlie P and his crew, which happen to be black. I will say this, Luke does have a great classic country voice, but due to the fact that he is 'literally' controlled by his record label he is part of what is wrong with country music today. He in no way embodies what the original version of this song is because he threw all of that away for a check. He is now exactly what he was talking about in the original song. Just saying.

Melody, the first song I ever heard by Luke Combs was also can I get an outlaw. I went and saw him when he opened up for Eric Church. Now I don't think Luke Combs should ever sing can I get an outlaw. To me the song was more about an attitude that the people like Merle Haggard, Johnny Cashn and Waylon Jennings had. The day Luke Combs sold out and apologized for having them Confederate flag on his guitar and apologize for doing the song with Ryan Upchurch was the day he lost the meaning to that song. When Johnny Cash did the concert at Folsom Prison they told him there were certain lyrics that he couldn't sing. Johnny Cash still sang those lyrics. The original Outlaws of country music did music their way but they also stayed true to themselves and didn't let the record execs make them over to what could sell better. Just my opinion and my take on it

My husband heard this version before I did, showed it to me and I just never cared for it. But I never actually saw the video until today.
