Country music star Jason Aldean's new video faces backlash, accused of pro-lynching

One And welcome back to the factor on since it usually musicians musicians let their art speak for itself but backlash over Jason Aldean’s new song and music video has forced him to speak out there’s a lot of criticism behind the video for try that in a small town in the music video he can be seen performing in front of a Tennessee courthouse a location with a dark history a black man was lynched by a mob there in nineteen twenty seven after he was accused of attacking a white girl people also have a problem with some

of the lyrics saying black lives matter take a listen . The small. The video has since been pulled from CMT country music television all day in has Twitter arguing the claims are not quote not only meritless but dangerous joining me now here Houston radio legend rob G. the Shafner. And eyes effector DJ DJ superstar glad to have you all here on the factor on center so staff would you took a look at this video did you have a others are complaining about. I think that it could have been a little bit more tasteful- on the

music video but the verbiage think that what he’s what his intent was what he was trying to portray and this is the right for the violence

that that came not peaceful. And how it was not respectful and me being from well it’s not a small town anymore but from Katy Texas we would tolerate that type of behavior either- and he was also explaining in his video or in his lyrics not just as video the video is a little extreme. But and his lyrics that you know innocent people at a store put pulling a gun or

spitting on police for no reason- I think that the what he was trying to portray was the violent. Part of a lot of this was unacceptable and to try the and you know small town because everybody and what he also Jason Aldean put out there as well as- you know smaller communities everybody’s neighbors all. You know obviously take care of each other and it’s a sense of community so that’s why he was like- you know try that a small town and we’re not going to put up with that kind of thing. Do you think he

bit off more than he could chew you know he’d from this video- I don’t know this song well I think he did- you know and he’s got a- he’s Just like everybody else- but you know tone deaf races need a soundtrack to. So so do you think you Russians I think I mean I’m- I mean it’s up to you. Will ask that question will there be no question no no no I’m just asking. What you’re paying you know it’s inside for you know is inside when I don’t think you understand the reason behind the protests

in the first that W. worried about somebody spinning the cops phase but you don’t hear. About a black person dying at the hands of a police officer this role is tone deaf all right. DJ superstar your thoughts on this well actually I took a poll. In the club before I came here and. Okay good- I think a pole and I friend and we were kind in the middle. Because I felt like- even though he- posted the video and those lyrics. I thought that he was like on our side. Like they don’t come here with this

correct we role for our community. And that is what we do. Just like if you will up on any Community happen that is what we do so you can. Country version of straight outta Compton or something. Not really quite understand. What time I just feel like I’m in the middle I feel like that- being that he grew up in a small town making Georgia. That aid if something pops up in my small town we got to bear alarm. Is black black lives matter and I guess I’m- kind of indifferent with black lives matter. The outside

of my that a little later but beyond that the fact that- I was caught in the middle . And the people on the streets are in the middle because it’s like oh they thought that he was taken up for. Black lives matter like a don’t come to ask motel with this foolish never really quick Rob is at your street or is that just her struggling to discharge Three. Think he bit off more than he could treat it. I think that in the current climate right now on how badly our nation is divided- there’s an account

of an opportune time and he had some balls to say the least should put that out there however- you know that. Everyone pitching the narrative as to what it actually meant and he had to come out and say this is what I’m exactly men about the song because he wrote it this is what I meant about this. Role yeah into such a hypersensitive right so what I’m- gonna Saudi rebels a broad is one is real quick this part in it and that’s all we talk about having his grandfather’s going. And I think that was really

and I was not going. For okay. For a guy who got. Also was shot up in V. and hunt and you know in in does of people died because- was really. All right. About gun rights there still. The factors step one stop. A young talent
