If you rank things by state, people go nuts. It’s a fact of life that we all scramble down any list to see what Tennessee or Memphis have beautifully screwed up now. The latest in these sensations is the state-by-state map of distinctive musical acts peculiar to each state … or something. In the great American tradition, everybody reposted and formed opinions about the thing long before anybody figured out the methodology of the study. What do we know? What we already knew: White Southern girls love gangsta rap. I bet $20 that, if Haslam or Ramsey have a daughter between 20 and 40, the girl can drop at least five hip-hop songs word-for-word. Or she went to bible college, one of those.
Here, read this crazy map thing. Then read the even crazier breakdown by someone in Nashville done on a slow news day.
And props to Juicy J for keeping Stacey Campfield real.
