He's not far off...

And if you're from the south you know we have.......a preference!

Our prejudice is right up there with the prejudice NY had in the 90s.

Oh course a couple of Kendrick songs are so huge that everyone is playing them. But in general...CW not wrong for the average southern person.

I heard from a promoter that there were several cities in Florida where Kendrick canceled shows because he couldn't sell the tickets. Unless he brought someone like kodak too. We are very closed minded down here to musical variety. If its a smash hit...we'll listen to it...but it's not being played in hood clubs and house parties.

Hard to articulate it...
A lot of artists of all genres rarely tour down to Florida. It’s a tough place where you have to have a built in fan base or be a bonafide superstar.
