re: Jelly Roll Smoothie King concert already sold out

Objectively, there's nothing good about his music. It's truly, truly awful. I can't imagine a single music critic has given any of his work a strong score...because it's all fricking awful. Jelly Roll is what you get when rural/redneck dudes between 30-60 start to feel old, were never seriously into music much to begin with, and think, "ah ha! this is how I will seem cool...by discovering this new cat that mixes country with rap!". Pretty sad, actually.

there’s a shite ton of “white trash” people out there that have no outlet for their music, especially with the death of alternative rock on the radio

This is how Jelly Roll and Hardy fill the gap for rural America that grew up listening to both rock (Korn, Slipknot, Staind, Limp) and Country music. They relate to both the three chords and the truth country messages and the fricked up drug/alcohol/breakup heavy messages.

it’s easy to dismiss this segment of the population as politicians and “pop culture” sure as frick have

TLDR; get off your high horse IMO
