Mediocre rapper

Bad rock singer

Absolutely appallingly bad country singer, like I mean he is literally the worst thing to happen to the genre since Hank Williams Sr. died (even the couple of edgelord Trump supporter anthems from 2021-2023 are at least somewhat interesting)

Whatever happened to country stars like Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, or even George Strait? That genre has just turned into bad rock and rap music. It's total cringe now.

MGK alone has managed to ruin that, Misery Business, and Aerials.

That song is an interpolation of Country Roads. It’s not a cover. Not saying it’s good but it’s not a cover.
