The Soundtrack Of College Football Is A Million Middle Aged Dads Finding Out About Rap For The First Time
School football shouldn't be this skeptical.
Or possibly, school football shouldn't be this obviously negative, which is somewhat exactly the same thing however when a university sport concludes that a lead trainer is valued at more than twelve million bucks every year, there's a scarcely discernible difference that must be strolled here and "You all Life" triple leaps directly ready to be done.
Let me back up: last Friday (and I'm irritated about this to a great extent since I needed to stand by seven entire days to discuss this poo) the authority Twitter represent the SEC made the bigger school football world aware of a genuinely horrible tune by "Extravagant Like" begetter Walker Hayes. This weak endeavor at father rap and the video for it are dreadful for thus, such countless reasons that I will in practically no time get to, yet entirely to put it plainly, "You all Life" has fallen a portion of the most exceedingly terrible parts of school football into a thick neutron star of trash.
We should discuss "You all Life" Product Placement
Walker Hayes is no more abnormal to item situation. "Extravagant Like", for instance, specifies no less than twelve items or brands, including Oreo, Applebee's, Wendy's, Alabama football, Skoal, Victoria's Secret, and Tesla (among others). "You all Life" just rings the chime for around four unique brands, which is somewhat of a failure, obviously. Be that as it may, relax: the music video, which I won't expose you to a connection for, more than compensates for it.
Pause, I'm sorry Walker, what was on that sign behind your new Ford Bronco™?
Goodness sweet, much appreciated.
This sort of peculiarly clear publicizing, totally decoupled from in a real sense anything more that is happening around it, is beginning to turn into the standard and it totally skeeves me out. It resembles watching a World War II film where a grizzled sergeant biting on a stogie holds the hand of a confidential who just got his leg brushed off, and similarly as Jimmy is going to hand Sarge a blood-smudged letter to his Dear Momma, the camera skillet to a jar of Monster for five seconds.
Hayes has apparently made a vocation out of asking brands for a holler, however given the present status of famous blue grass music, this is presumably the most trivial part of his wrongdoings.
The Hook and the Style
"You all Life" is an expression summoned by lich-masters in the damp underground prisons of anything that record mark utilizes Walker Hayes for the express reason for being slurred through around eight jars of light lager in an awkwardly hot parking area after twofold stopping in a disabled spot. It's intended to be slapped on stickers and shirts and rehashed relentlessly until the following silly Phrase To Get Drunk To is birthed from a similar rank tank.
hahaha
"Father pardon me, for I have y'alled"
Too: this is a rap tune. I know Walker Hayes is apparently a blue grass craftsman, however "You all Life" is simply country-touched rap. Which is fine in principle, and I truly do believe it's entertaining that Nelly gets a composing credit here (Hayes tests "Nation Grammar" and furthermore raps "Down in 'Bama where they language got some country in it, you all" which is significantly more clever on the grounds that Nelly is from St. Louis via Texas), yet some way or that's what another I question "You all Life" will be advertised accordingly.
Did you contemplate this for five seconds?
This is where things get awkward. The verse "You all them moms let them know young ladies, 'Better keep your legs crossed'" is... Not extraordinary, yet for the reasons for this segment I'm more keen on the music video, which was shot in minuscule Chapel Hill, Tennessee, with a populace of a little more than 1700 individuals, a significant number of whom filled in as additional items.
You may be asking why this matters, and as a rule, the music video for "You all Life" is pretty standard brother country stuff. Football match-up, team promoters, church, driving a never-involved truck on a soil track all around, and that is essentially it.
In any case, the secondary school football crew that for the most part white group is supporting, the day leading up to when they all go to the on the whole white church? That is genuine Forrest High School, gladly named after Chapel Hill local Nathan Bedford Forrest, Confederate general and first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. So I don't have the foggiest idea, whether you will film a music video in no place for reasons unknown, perhaps do a quick Wikipedia search before you start. And afterward, assuming you figure out that the town's pride is a bigoted double crosser who let his soldiers slaughter Black individuals during the Civil War, find somewhere else to film.
In truth, "You all Life" and its SEC's underlying support is simply aspect of a long, glad custom of horrible music made to profit by school football and its fans. The contrast between "gratingly charming" and "totally rankling" is that when an irregular fan chooses to make a recognition for their #1 group, it could suck without holding back however that tune is essentially a genuine articulation of affection for something that they appreciate.
Then again, when a confidential college with a multi-extravagant blessing or a support looking for craftsman like Walker Hayes high fives the SEC and attempts to pal up to the school football fan, it seems like an obtrusive, skeptical endeavor to wring much more cash out of individuals who as of now invest a lot of time, money, and energy attempting to simply partake in a damn game.
Fortunately the SEC tweet supporting "You all Life" was assailed by ear-havers on the web, and they immediately erased it notwithstanding a surge of images and mean jokes. Also, that is the manner in which it ought to be: individuals accountable for school sports (and holders on who need to benefit from it) could have an unending number of ways of worming themselves into your wallet, however fans can constantly block out and switch off. As the cash engaged with school sports continues to develop, it's a power that we should practice on a more regular basis.
