You think these Wrangler sponsorships and having it in the Rambo trailer just happens naturally? He got scooped up by Columbia records and forced into a 360 deal. Probably convinced they he’s a one hit wonder. You never sign after one hit. He could have made more money with his own independent management. Sad.... they’re going to bleed him dry and he’ll be happy as long as he gets a bit of chump change because he was broke before. That’s how they take advantage.

    What's making everyone "mad" is the fact that it's being pawned off as a "country music" song! THIS SHIT IS AS COUNTRY AS FUCKING TUPAC OR SIR MIX A LOT! Country-ish lyrics a county song does not make, the fact that it's rap doesn't even make it a "song" in the first place, and the fact that this urbanite candy ass boy is wearing a Stetson does not make him country either. He wants to -sing- rap? GREAT! He can -sing- rap it somewhere other than the country music charts. In Rome, you do as the Roman's do; not what the Gauls, Celts or Visigoths or any other enemy of Rome do; or you'll get just as much hate as he's getting now from fans of REAL country music.

He had a dream, he got a hold of that dream and he dragged that dream to the Finish Line. We should all be proud of him no matter what color he is. And I think this is as country as a country song can be and good for Billy Ray Cyrus to agree with that and jump in to help this young man push it even further. What a great story of perseverance and not giving up. Much success to this young man!

[3]Therefore when there shall be seen earthquakes and uproars of the people in the world: [4]Then shalt thou well understand, that the most High spake of those things from the days that were before thee, even from the beginning. [5]For like as all that is made in the world hath a beginning and an end, and the end is manifest: [6]Even so the times also of the Highest have plain beginnings in wonder and powerful works, and endings in effects and signs. [7]And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to escape by his works, and by faith, whereby ye have believed, [8]Shall be preserved from the said perils, and shall see my salvation in my land, and within my borders: for I have sanctified them for me from the beginning. [9]Then shall they be in pitiful case, which now have abused my ways: and they that have cast them away despitefully shall dwell in torments. [10]For such as in their life have received benefits, and have not known me; [11]And they that have loathed my law, while they had yet liberty, and, when as yet place of repentance was open unto them, understood not, but despised it; [12]The same must know it after death by pain.

[20]For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. [21]But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Light = Psalms 119:105 [105]NUN.
