Just stop. Life is to fucking short to walk around angry about the president all day. What the hell can we really do about it? Light a fuckin city on fire or talk shit about anyone who might disagree with you? Say racist shit? That will surely bring good karma... soon as everyone starts worrying about what they themselves are and should be doing and not what everyone else is doing everyone will start winning.

    For anyone who ever wondered what a real backwoods country boy is like. He’s about a good example. His rap songs speak heavily to the part of country life that modern country music tries to suppress. He is more true to the definition of country boy than 95% of what Nashville puts on the radio.

    I’ve been a fan of Ryan for a few years and I’ve been a fan of Adam 22 about the same amount of time and I never thought I’d see someone like Upchurch on No jumper. My respect for Adam sky rocketed. I love that he brought an independent country rap artist from the sticks like Upchurch on his podcast to speak about his experiences in the music world, this isn’t something you normally see. Especially on a podcast like no jumper. Ryan stays opening up doors for independent artist. Much respect

    My grandaddy fought chickens and my daddy did it until it was illegal, and it was a way they put food on the table. They were both known for some of the best breeds and it's crazy to me how people never knew about it. I've never been around dog fighting, but being an outsider it sounds awful (I'm sure they look at cockfighting that way). Although I can tell you a rooster will fight whether you put them in a pit or not. The roosters always had to stay in separate pens where they couldn't even be within a four feet from each other.

    Upchurch is 1 of those musicians that would continue to write music even if there were 2 people listening. He does it cause he loves it and it shows in his lyrics. Jelly Roll, Adam, Yellawolf are the same way. Lyical geniuses

    Pimp C called his music “Country Rap Tunes”.
    All it is, is being true to who you are. Making music about your life. Your hometown. Your people you grew up with. What you know. It’s simple. Whatever that may be. Some people it’s hood trap music. Others it’s punk. Other people it’s growing up in the south. In the country. It’s not complicated. Shoutout Adam and Church. RIP Pimp C!

      Absolutely agree, Church is just too humble to admit it, but he is the greatest!
