Not every counter-message is rooted in racism. Similarly, journalists call it racist to use the word “woke” when woke often refers to wealthy white women in the Northeast and cowardly white men in corporate America. “So like, the racial aspect of it, there’s nothing racial about the lyrics.”
“It was crazy because like the real ANTIFA problems that were happening during the BLM, I think it was a lot of white people doing that, right? Wasn’t it? It was a lot of like, lost liberal whites who were very angry, who decided to take up this movement and smash things,” Rogan adds. Just as disingenuous as calling Aldean’s song violent is the narrative that the song is racist. You little young-ass motherfuckers (take money)įuck ’em, we Bad Boy killers (we killers)Īnd yet they call Aldean violent and Tupac a hero. Oh yeah, Mobb Deep (take money) you wanna fuck with us? Killin’ ain’t fair but somebody gotta do it (take money) Now ya ’bout to feel the wrath of a menace You know who the realest is, niggas, we bring it to you (take money) West side, Bad Boy killers (take money, take money) That’s why I fucked yo’ bitch, you fat motherfucker I ain’t got no motherfuckin’ friends (sucka-ass) Ya think it’s cool, well, act a fool if ya likeįor you to find out, I recommend you don’tĪnd here are some lyrics from Tupac’s Hit Em Up: Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store Here are some lyrics from Aldean’s Try That in a Small Town: So, we thought we’d compare Aldean and Tupac to better understand where the former falls short.

And Rogan said so Wednesday in a conversation with Gad Saad. Detractors say the message is racist, hateful and violent. Rather, he views society through a lens of reason, a strategy that often runs afoul of the prevailing narrative.Ĭase in point: Rogan’s coverage of Jason Aldean.Īldean criticizes BLM and ANTIFA riots in a song called Try That in a Small Town. We argued he is neither conservative nor political. Earlier this week, we discussed how critics mislabel Joe Rogan as a conservative political figure.
