    Adam is from Chicago and was in prison. The black guys in the song are his friends/family. This song is truly about breaking the steriotypes but a lot of reactors only got to the word and shut down the message he was actually trying to get across. Adam and Tom truly loves everyone. They both lived in the streets and know how it is for all communities no matter what the color. #ACAL #HOG

    As a white guy, no. I do not get offended at being called trash, a redneck, a hillbilly, a cracker, honky, none of it. My baby girl calls me daddy, and that’s the only name that matters to me.

      C word, N word.? Hey, if you can't type the full word then obviously there's something wrong with YT & the 1st amendment. YT is an American company not obeying constitutional law, ohh wow Liberals are celebrating. Get pregnant & want an abortion even if it's from rape, ohh sooo sorry. Shouldn't have been in that position.

      all good until u invent drama over a word a W person didnt even invent ....while using the same word over again that should actually be offensive. Imagine using a word so badly by ppl so "oppressed" while knowing its oppressive its same as me asking a pedo to babysit my kids all over again but being offended by them being P while i know it loll

    Adam did an interview with Stevie Knight where they talked about this song, after this song Adam was banned from doing and of his shows scheduled in California. I’m not a super sensitive guy so depending on the intention behind someone calling me a cracker I would not have a problem with it.

    • @saraohara2504
      @saraohara2504 2 роки тому +3

      @Paul Schmidt - yeah I recall that interview Adam had w Stevie Knight after this song came out. Really, it was an honest conversation more than an interview. It’s been awhile, so correct me if I’m wrong, but here’s a quick summary in case anyone is interested….
      So, Stevie got the point Adam was making in this song, but he wasn’t ok with Adam’s use of the n-word. They discussed it & it was pretty interesting - they heard each other out.
      I think Adam grew up hanging out with all sorts of people, black & white, & and when he started rapping locally he hung out with mostly black people & had a lot of close black friends. I don’t know if he started rapping before prison or after, but I remember Adam saying that he was deep in the urban culture, used to go to rap battles & was part of the underground rap scene & became part of it. He said his black friends called each other the n-word (meaning, homie) & they didn’t treat Adam any different, so they called him the n-word too.
      With this song, Adam said he wasn’t trying to shock people & he was surprised how many people got tripped up by that 1 word & let the deeper message pass over their heads. By the end of their talk, I felt like Stevie understood where Adam was coming from, and vice versa.
      To me what’s really interesting is how Stevie’s feelings about the n-word have changed in recent years. He used the word all the time, out of habit, but he no longer uses it & doesn’t like his friends calling him that word either. He also doesn’t like white people using it. Much respect to Stevie for being consistent.

      I went to an Adam Calhoun concert on July the fourth and he mentioned how people were telling him he shouldn't be singing this song.
      He said "I told them to suck my d**k".

    The part when Adam says, "All you do is smoke weed, run around with other b*tches" the man you paused it on rolling the blunt, his name was William Pickering, a Chicago rapper also known as EBE Bandz and Billy Da Kid.
    He was kidnapped, beaten with a baseball bat and set on fire. His body was found 3 weeks after his disappearance. It was a drug deal gone bad.
    All of the suspects were found guilty and are in prison except for the ringleader, William Arzate. He disappeared before the trial started but was found guilty of first-degree murder and concealing a homicidal death absentia. This was in 2021 and they still haven't caught the dude.

    We all end up with a label. When I lived in the Midwest, they called me a cracker. If my southern drawl ever came out, I was a red neck or white trash. So, you just embrace it. Ignorance has no color bound. I would NEVER say that N word, I feel like Adam used it for shock value and also to compare that most people don’t really bat an eye at white stereotypes and nicknames. I was actually laughing at the ones about white people because they all come from someplace. Not all white people fit that though. Lol

Haha Hell, I damn near view it as a term of endearment. Nope, I never took it personally at all. Just an fyi from a middle aged white girl who sees the beauty in us all ( in terms of race.) Hell, there are racist assholes in every & all races..but, there are also a helluva alot more decent & wonderful folks in all those mix of races too!

    Saying "C word", the baby talk we're all supposed to use, is way more offensive than just speaking plain. IMO. It assumes people are too stupid to understand things like context and intent. You know they're not cool with him speaking? Those are his people from his community. He grew up in that South side Chicago warzone. They probably wouldn't appreciate you speaking for them.

    I can tell you really take offense to that word. Do you hate that word or do you just hate that word when a white person says it? If it's the word overall your being kind of a snowflake. It's just a word. If it's because of the color of skin of the person who says it that's being hypocritical and racist. Anyways what makes you think only a black person would be considered a N. There's good and bad people of every skin pigment. And why do people think it's ok to lay claim to certain things just for their skin color. That's stupid and usually unfounded. Like guy with braids like Tom. How is that cultural appropriation. The Vikings braided their hair and I'm sure many before them. Its a good way to keep your hair out of your face in battle. The whole race thing is messed up. The only race in the terms of people that I care about is the human race. Skin color never should have been brought into it. Who cares how much melanin you have in your skin. It's just like the political parties. Just another way to divide us so they can easier control us.
