  1. Yes, there is something that Alan Jackson (the Nickelback of country music) will try for all eternity. Of course, that thing is none other than being a total disgrace to country music. Despite his brain-dead fans (mostly consisting of stereotypical suburban teenage white girls who also listen to pop and rap) touting him as some sort of "traditional country legend", he's the exact opposite. It was Jackson who invented bro-country and metro-bro (see "Chattahoochee", "Where I Come From", "Country Boy", and "Jim and Jack and Hank") and it was also Jackson who solidified the stereotype that country music is made for ignorant, trailer dwelling rednecks and hicks. Of course, it was also Jackson who covered Akon's "Don't Matter", Future's "Mask Off", and Shaquille O'Neal "(I Know I Got) Skillz", alongside ABBA's "Super Trouper". As I mentioned previously, Jackson's fan base largely consists of stereotypical suburban teenage white girls who also listen to pop music, Jackson's fellow bro-country acts, and those rappers Jackson covered in concert. And as much as they may complain and protest about how Alan Jackson is "like, keeping traditional country alive" or something like that, the evidence points otherwise. Despite good artists like Luke Combs, Jon Pardi, Eric Church, and Chris Stapleton who are (unlike Jackson) actually keeping traditional country music alive, the bro-country and metro-bro that Jackson invented still is a major player in mainstream country, being the bread and butter of acts like Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Sam Hunt, Kane Brown, and Dan + Shay. And not only that, but these knuckleheads are also scoring megahits by collaborating with pop stars. Justin Bieber's collaboration with metro-bro duo and Rascal Flatts knockoff Dan + Shay "10,000 Hours" has been the number one country song since October, while "Meant to Be", bro-country duo Florida Georgia Line's collaboration with pop singer Bebe Rexha, currently holds the record for the longest running number one country song at 50 weeks. All the apocalyptic aftermath of what Alan Jackson (the Nickelback of country music) did to this genre.

    As for Alan Jackson's alleged cover of "We Dem Boyz" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFOtWpul3ZY ), the video was filmed over an Alan Jackson concert to make it look like Alan Jackson was doing a cover of Wiz Khalifa's "We Dem Boyz", while in reality, he was really playing "Remember When" while a Florida Georgia Line cover of the Wiz Khalifa song played on my two Sony stereos (Sony MHC-GX450 and Sony LBT-GPX77) in the background.
