On a stellar launch day for nation music that has seen Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Nation stun with Horizons, the welcomed return of Kathleen Edwards together with her new album Billionaire, Asleep At The Wheel rekindle Western Swing gold with Driving Excessive In Texas, together with releases from Will Hoge, Robert Jon & The Wreck, James Dupré and extra, who’s it that in style music media and nation media particularly is obsessed over? It’s this felonious, rubbish rapper BigXthaPlug, and his carpetbagging bullshit “nation” album.
“BigXthaPlug Is The place Nation Is Now. That’s a Good Factor,” is what Rolling Stone is declaring, like they’ve any clue what the hell is even taking place in nation music for the time being. And lo and behold, as elite media is praising this piece of shit to the hilt as a result of they hate nation and nation followers—and imagine BigXthaPlug will undermine nation music’s core values—this dude is locked within the slammer as soon as once more on a weapons cost.
The already multiple-convicted BigXthaPlug is presently in jail in Dallas on illegal possession of a firearm, in addition to a weed cost. So far as the weed goes, screw that. No person must be arrested or detained for pot. However the rapper’s first run-in with the regulation was an aggravated theft cost. Then he acquired arrested once more in 2022 and violated his probation because of weapons costs and medicines. He was additionally arrested in February of this yr for, you guessed it, having a unlawful firearm and medicines.
That is the fourth time BigXthaPlug has been arrested on weapons costs, and the second time this yr, together with the aggravated housebreaking cost. Morgan Wallen, eat your coronary heart out. And a lot for the “Oh, I discovered redemption by rap and nation music” fallacy. The dude actually couldn’t make it an hour after the discharge of his dumb album with out getting arrested for a similar actual issues he’s been arrest for twice earlier.
What are we doing right here? Why are we deeming that that is what nation music wants? Why is that this the man we’re letting into the fold whereas so many rather more deserving and precise nation artists can’t get a crumb from this trade? Keep in mind Lil Nas X and “Outdated City Highway”? He simply acquired arrested for assaulting a police officer. It is a actual nice crowd we’re inviting into nation music.
And no, this isn’t about BigXthaPlug being Black, and even being a rapper. We have already got sufficient dangerous apples in nation. So far as I’m involved, BigXthaPlug can get the fuck out, and take Morgan Wallen, Gavin Adcock, and Jelly Roll with him. That’s proper, Jelly Roll who simply acquired uncovered on digital camera utilizing the N-Phrase 3 times, and the identical assholes who’re pushing BigXthaPlug as what nation music must “evolve” are the identical ones refusing to report on it, as a result of as soon as once more, Jelly Roll matches their agenda of undermining nation music by infiltrating it with “sonic variety.”
“Oh however Trig, he’s from Texas!” Who provides a shit? So am I. That doesn’t someway confer your dangerous rap the blessing of being deemed “nation.” And yeah, it’s nauseating that Ella Langely is on the market collaborating with him though she’s speculated to be some conventional nation maven, and Charley Crockett felt the necessity to defend his ass when twisting off on Morgan Wallen and Gavin Adcock.
“Yeah Trig, however Merle Haggard was a felon.” Yeah, however he was additionally nation, and truly did rehabilitate himself. BigXthaPlug is a millionaire and might’t even determine learn how to rent a fall man for his piece and stash. Thrice you’ve been arrested for this, THREE TIMES, after already being despatched to the pokey as a child?
And I’m positive the conspiracy theorists are already hypothesizing that is all a PR ruse to goose his album gross sales. Nevertheless it’s too late. BigXthaPlug is already going to be getting nominated for CMA Awards and stuff. Nation music couldn’t be giving him an even bigger bear hug with a bunch of massive stars showing on his album. However guess what nation music, you’re getting performed, identical to Jelly Roll who stated on tape how proud he was to have “snuck within the again door on these bitches” in between the N-words.
On second although, let BigXthaPlug be an enormous famous person in mainstream nation. Why not? Let him metastasize deep within the coronary heart of the trade and eat their asshole out like a malignant tapeworm.
What a humiliation throughout.
