WATCH: Joe Rogan Blasts Critics Of Jason Aldean's Hit 'Try That In A Small Town' - Decries 'Infinitely Worse' Rap Songs

Joe Rogan is laughing at critics of Jason Aldean’s latest hit single ‘Try That in a Small Town,’ talking about how there are numerous rap songs that feature far more controversial lyrics than the aforementioned country song that have had no controversy surrounding them.

"I’m not saying that’s the greatest song the world has ever known, but the level of outrage coming from people that are upset about that song is so strange when there are hundreds of rap songs out there that are infinitely worse," Rogan said on his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience.' He did make sure to clarify that he wasn’t pointing his finger towards all rap songs, saying that some are still “enjoyable” to him. 

Canadian professor Gad Saad was speaking on the podcast with Rogan where he noted how several rap songs actually promote negative aspects like misogyny and glorification of violence. 

"Mhmm, no complaints at all," Rogan said, agreeing with Saad. "And we’re not even talking about old stuff, there’s new stuff too, there’s hip-hop, there’s wild rock songs, there’s a lot of wild s**t," noting how strange people were to be "focusing" on Aldean's song. 

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, the song from the country music singer about how riots and robberies that take place in large cities would not be able to work in small towns garnered immense criticism from the left. Many claimed that the song pushed a racist agenda and also attacked Aldean for choosing to film the music video at a place where a lynching took place in 1917. 

“In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests,” the Twitter post from Aldean read. “These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it- and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage -and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music- this one goes too far.”

That wasn’t all Rogan had to say about the song either, also questioning the “racial aspect” that so many of the critics of the song tout. 

"The racial aspect of it was crazy, because the real Antifa problems that were happening during the BLM, I think there was a lot of White people doing that, wasn’t it? It was a lot of lost liberal Whites who are very angry, who decided to take up this movement and smash things," he said.

"So the racial aspect of it, there’s nothing racial about the lyrics," he concluded. 

The song has also jumped up to the number two spot on the Billboard Top 100, something that Aldean has never been able to do, as previously reported by the DC Enquirer. The country music star had previously managed to get to number seven in 2011 with his song ‘Dirt Road Anthem.’

‘Try That in a Small Town’ has also seen a massive 1000 percent jump in streams, going from 987,000 streams in the first week of its release to 11.7 million streams in its second week. 

Despite the outcry, anyone with half a brain cell seems to be able to see clearly that ‘Try That in a Small Town’ poses no actual threat and isn’t a racist anthem. The song fulfills its purpose as one that celebrates small-town American culture and lifts ideas of community.
