If lyrics could kill.
The musician going by the name of Adeem the Artist left the web in hysterics after posting neat parody the song “Try That in A Small Town” by Jason Aldean, a rustic star who has come under fire for his so-called “pro-lynching” words.
The 35-year-old musician from Knoxville, Tennessee, whose real name is Adeem Maria, titled his takedown “Sundown Town.” He destroys Aldean’s anthem by cutting out lines like “We have not had any protests or civil unrest/We have never taken a goddamn COVID test and all of us can read but we do not/Driving trucks price greater than a recent Corvette/Yeah all of us wear boots and like to shoot and call on the cops to stop people such as you.”
Aldean’s original was brutally beaten by online critics for allegedly promoting racism and violence.
The troublesome track was released in May but was thrown into the highlight after the recent release of the music video.

The film “Small Town” features footage of BLM demonstrations and other protests, and features Aldean posing in front of an American flag draped over the Maury County Courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee.
Town is understood for the 1946 race riot that almost resulted within the death of Thurgood Marshall, later the primary black Supreme Court Justice, and for the lynching of 18-year-old Henry Choate in 1927.
Parodist Maria will not be the primary artist to reciprocate the controversial singer who has been condemned by celebrities including country icon Sheryl Crow and hosts “View” — with Sunny Hostin, who went to date as to accuse Aldean of adopting KKK-style imagery.
Meanwhile, social media users are calling the country singer a “brutal bigot” and “racist who writes barely disguised songs about lynching.”
“Small Town” was even pulled from Country Music Television amid scathing response.

A parody of Maria posted on Twitter currently boasts over 385,000 views online. Artist he also posted the song on TikTok,
“Share it and revel in! I really like NATIONAL MUSIC! and the way inclusive it’s,” he snarls in his tweet.
“Now it’s true that I’m ignorant of most of this stuff, a number of people have called me a bigot for some reason,” Maria sings her country music. “Higher never, ever let the sun go down…or the gun exit.”
Since then, Aldean has defended his creation, writing in an Instagram story: “Within the last 24 hours, I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been released since May) and I have been the topic of the comparison that (direct quote) I wasn’t too glad with the nationwide BLM protests. These references should not only worthless but in addition dangerous.
“There will not be a single lyric within the song that references or points to race – and there will not be a single video clip that will not be genuinely informative – and while I could respect others to have their very own interpretation of the song set to music – this one goes too far,” added the “Dirt Road Anthem” singer.

“Try it in a small town refers back to the sense of community I grew up in, where we cared about our neighbors regardless of their backgrounds or beliefs. Because they were our neighbors and that was beyond all differences,” he continued.
BBR Music label mate Blanco Brown stood up for his colleague yesterday, A billboard has been reportedtweeting to fans that he doesn’t consider Aldean is racist – just a foul songwriter.
“I hate the lyrics to this song, but I do not believe he’s racist, one of the primary to examine me out in need!” Brown, referring to his 2020 motorcycle accident, tweeted.
“Just bad songwriting,” Brown added.
Other defenders have called the outrage hypocritical, noting that critics commonly have a good time rap and hip-hop music, genres often accused of glorifying violence and the mistreatment of women.
“The leftist outrage mob desires to persuade you that its motivation is to limit violent rhetoric wherever it occurs, including in musical form, or it would encourage real violence in our society,” wrote Post columnist Adam B. Coleman. “But when it’s true, why are they so muted on the subject of hip-hop music?”
He theorized, “They do not say anything about hip-hop because they do not mind the exaggerated image of black people being violent and proudly degenerate.”
