Riff: Brad Paisley – “Accidental Racist”

Apr 8, 2013

Our generation didn’t start this nation/We’re still picking up the pieces, walking on eggshells fighting over yesterday

from Accidental Racist lyrics by Brad Paisley

Accompanied by a hopelessly awkward LL Cool J rap, this simplistic history lesson on slavery may have honorable intentions. But for a track which appears to promote the idea of harmony, it’s ironic that by the end, you’re left thinking that country and hip-hop should never ever mix;[LISTEN].
