The song "Fake Woke" that's trending on iTunes right now...

Has to be one of the most ridiculous pieces of music I've ever heard from someone not named Weird Al or Randy Rainbow. At least when those guys write songs, you know instantly that they're going to be ridiculous. This on the other hand is from the "county rap" genre that's been appearing in the last few years. I've been going down the wormhole on this genre and it's every bit as crazy as you could imagine.

But this song "Fake Woke" is something else. It's from a Soundcloud rapper named Tom MacDonald and it's basically 5 minutes of him complaining about the conservative boogeyman known as "cancel culture". He also denounces feminism and contradicts himself multiple times in the song. After listening to the clips, I repeatedly had to look to see if this guy really was serious or not. I won't link to the song but it's out there on Youtube. If you want to see the lyrics to see how ridiculous this song is, here's the lyrics.

I swear someone needs to do a South Park style "THIS IS WHAT TRUMP FANS REALLY BELIEVE IN" video.
