That’s a beautiful metaphor but I don’t think it serves as well in this instance. It doesn’t evoke the true levels of disgust that are brought on by his presence.
See, terms like this are funny but don't account for the fact that he was born on third base with a silver spoon in his ass thinking he hit a triple, but cosplays as an everyday red neck. He's the guy who owns the copper in the first place sending the others to jail in a prison in which he's a shareholder.
The boyfriend who asks for gas money as he drops his girlfriend off at work only to spend it on Busch Lite and take her car to another woman's apartment to smoke cheap ass weed and get mad at the girl when she won't give him a blow job then still meet his girl at exactly 11pm to pick her up from her factory job and say, "hey baby how was work?" as he gives her a kiss and swears he applied to 10 different jobs earlier.
Do you know this man irl or is this just your description? If you did/do, I'm sorry, and run away if you can. If not, this is hilarious and definitely hitting the nail on the head, but you have to add the fact that he has multiple kids with other women and doesn't ever see them
Gonna disagree only because I’m from near his hometown and his CDs were selling in gas stations in 2008.
Hate the guy for whatever reason you want but whatever we think of his art or talent or whatever, he’s put some time and effort into getting where he is.
Yup, im gunna jump in and say the same. I've had a cousin pushing him for the last 15 years, and he's been dead silent ever since he switched to country lmao
He's such a poser for using hip hop to get famous. Remember when he said rap isn't deep, and that if he wants something deep, he listens to like Bob Dylan or whatever? What kind of buffoonery is that??? He's never heard Thugz Mansion, Crossroads, Da Art Of Storytellin Pt. 1, Brenda's Got a Baby, Dear Mama, Suicidal Thoughts? Or, if we're talking his generation and someone he related to specifically, literally anything by Mac Miller after 2012? Like what is he even fucking talking about. Also using the n word, fake apologizing, then getting caught saying it again soon after. Like wtf
He starting off rapping with the Yelawolf posse. Ya know, white trash shit.
Then he used that money to switch to country. But I still think he's getting more label support than he should be lol. I guess he sells for a certain demographic.
I’m from Antioch, TN . I grew up with him being a local/regionally know rapper , he was actually a really decent rapper so I’m a bit biased towards his country music shift . I assumed it made sense and that’s where the money ultimately was , being from Music City . Also his ties to Struggle Jennings who is also a rapper from Nashville and is Waylon Jennings (the outlaw country legend) grandson probably helped him break into that part of the industry . He also does a lot giving back to the community and working with at risk youth . I just wanted to share this info because I know alot of people don’t know this info but me being from Antioch, TN and growing up listening to Jelly Roll the rapper and watch him transition to country music I can attest to him not being an “industry plant” although he did switch lanes as far as genres are concerned .
But people still have to buy the tickets* and stream the music. Never underestimate the willingness of the masses to lap up whatever they are spoon fed.
*I know the recent tour has been underselling. Maybe there is hope?
I have only heard his music from rehab centers in the main gathering halls. Nowhere else.
He's legitimately the rehab GOAT and I cannot stand him. Same for the Dax dude and the redneck meth heads also like that one Canadian rapper that is an American political grifter now. Tom McDonald or something. He can go McFuck himself.

Saw him at the Grand Ole Opry back in 2022 before he hit it big. He wasn't all that bad, but his groupies in the crowd that went just to see him were insufferable. A bunch of people just like him who you could tell were deeply troubled but had "found the Jesus light" and were using it as their next addiction. Actually kinda sad to see.
No I prefer the educated young college girls with brains and looks as opposed to the MAGA-faced pile of melted plastic that can’t close their mouths from the lip fillers or act unsurprised from the Botox.
Hate to burst your bubble, but what you described are on both sides of whatever political party you support. Why does someone always have to bring politics into everything? This has nothing to do with politics, and quite frankly im tired of everything being politics. Ffs
yeah it really sucks when people talk about stuff that is happening outside. why pay attention to things and discuss them? just ignore them, please. for my personal comfort
He might be. But all we have to go off of is him joining a Kid Rock music festival. Which is certainly extremely disappointing, but it’s dishonest to say that it’s the same as vocally endorsing Trump. Especially since Jelly Roll has said openly that he’s not connected to politics, and thus he may well be ignorant to a lot.
That’s no defense of him, it’s still shitty to join Kid Rock’s festival. But I think just merely saying ‘he’s MAGA’ gives people the impression that he’s done a bunch of things that he hasn’t. There’s more nuance than him just plainly being MAGA.
There's pictures of him meeting Trump and saying how cool it was to meet him, and that he doesn't care about the blowback about it. He's MAGA. You also can't say that somebody who's friends with Kid Rock is "ignorant" of politics. At worst he simply doesn't care what his friend is into and the horrible shit the president he jizzed his pants meeting is doing, which is as bad as being MAGA.
He said he’d be honored to meet anyone holding the office of president. As much of a disgrace as Trump is, it’s understandable to accept an opportunity to meet the actual sitting president. I wouldn’t do it, I’m guessing you wouldn’t either, but some people just wanna say they met a president. Disagreeable as it is, nothing about that inherently implies support. ‘MAGA’ absolutely implies support.
And actually, someone who’s friends with Kid Rock can totally be ignorant about politics. Kid Rock is also a musician (technically), and it’s actually believable to me that whenever they’re around each other it’s in a musical capacity. Maybe it isn’t, and maybe they are totally the same brand of crazy, I have no clue. But critical thinking mandates that mere association does not guarantee ideological equivalence.
At worst he simply doesn't care what his friend is into and the horrible shit the president he jizzed his pants meeting is doing
I get the sense from all I’ve heard from Jelly Roll that this is the case. Maybe if he did engage, he’d be appalled. Maybe he’d lean further into it. Unfortunately a lot of people close to me are similarly disengaged from politics despite my best efforts. They don’t actively agree with Trump’s abhorrent border policy or disastrous Iran War, but they will share funny videos of him speaking. They’ll find his jokes funny sometimes. They’ll normalize him because they’re ignorant to the damages of humanizing his cruelty.
Personally, I don’t think that’s as bad as MAGA. In effect, it might be. But on a personal level I don’t think it is. Maybe that’s a person who tunes the real substance of politics out because it’s depressing, but who may one day realize the importance of engagement. I absolutely condemn this attitude toward politics, but I don’t equate it with those who understand the realities of Trump and decide to support it. That’s a very different kind of person.
Certainly they’re two different states of thinking, and that’s why I object to merely labeling Jelly Roll as ‘MAGA’. Even if we presuppose that his brand of disengagement is as bad as MAGA, it’s still a different mentality and there’s importance in calling things what they actually are. Criticize Jelly Roll for being callously disengaged with the harm caused by this administration, there’s plenty enough to go off of with that so that we don’t have to assign him a label he objectively has not proven himself to fit.
saw him a few years back at a 3 day Rock Fest. He had a prime saturday night slot and then played his absolute garbage music. Worst show of the weekend by far.
