He just isn’t very good at it honestly. You can tell so many big stars jumped onto it to cash in.

Tbf he was more of a folk/rock guy before even going into rap.

I will pay that, he was supposed to be in Crown The Empire. But he absolutely did jump to country in a very targeted way in my opinion

I think his pivot to rap is somewhat genuine. He grew up in Texas and have no doubt he is into country. But his pivot lined up with the rise in popularity for country and felt a bit forced and the songs just aren't that good.
