NOTE: It's a new month, and there are rare spots open in my MetaDose AND Signature Dose tiers! If you ever wanted a signed script, or a cameo-style video from me (OR a one-on-one call, which I'm willing to do in the MetaDose tier), act fast, because those tiers are limited!

Hey everyone, it's Bonus Dose Day, and we kick off February with a look at an event I also covered last year. Has Luda BeTrAyEd the LeFt?! Also, stick around to the end to let me know who performed it better, me or Mr. Bridges (you'll see what I mean). Enjoy!

It's the 2nd annual Rock the Country Festival, and just like last year when Nickelback got flack for participating, people find it... ridiculous, absurd, maybe even ludicrous that LUDACRIS appeared on the poster for the 2026 edition! Buckley looks at the backlash, and wonders how this is different than the people complaining about Bad Bunny? Plus, a look at how Kid Rock is ripping off the "regular Americans" he claims these concerts are for, and a little proof that maybe Bucko should leave rapping to the professionals...

I admit NEITHER political party cares for the people. However the stuff Trump is doing to make the USA super white is real. Being a sellout in the black community means cosigning things white oppression. We all know Luda is a grifter, most rappers are. Luda was all in for Obama and other dems. Don't get me wrong Buckley you are entitled to your opinion. Don't shame me please lol.

A Dose of Buckley

Oh I think he was definitely all in on Obama, but I think a lot of rappers were, who may not have been particularly political before. I think in terms of politics he was pretty much "Obama only", like he made fun of Hillary as well as Republicans (although was probably a lot nicer, he did say that John McCain 'don't belong in any chair unless he's paralyzed'). But yes, I very much can understand, especially in the wake of everything going on with ICE or with other culture war nonsense where you have people saying a Puerto Rican isn't "American", why the black community might have a good reason to hate a rapper who goes all in on right wing politics.

I have friends on both sides (and I vote in every election); this bs is nerve wracking. I think it is funny Turning Point picked Kid Rock over their new friend Nicki Minaj for the 'halftime show' lol

A Dose of Buckley

Given the "Faith. Family" tagline, it might be tough to find even a single Nicki song that would be ok for families. Kid Rock will probably just perform All Summer Long (which has a vague reference to weed). Maybe that "Don't Tell Me How to Live" one I reviewed a few years ago. With every Nicki song being about sucking off a drug dealer, they'll probably only parade her out as a famous person but never actually let her perform, unless she's going to make new music that's Christian Rap.

Wow, can't believe Buckley mentioned my armpit hometown. Didn't have that on my 2026 bingo card

Least it’s not the pee hole

The business team Luda saw the warning red lights for his PR. Because Trump and MAGA are temporary but the stench of association will last a long time. Luda probably realize his black fans abandoning him is more consequential, than liberals.

Ron

He probably realize grifting only goes so far

Slipping The Void

Shinedown just announced their withdraw from the festival because they don't want to divide fans on political views and such.

Weirdly impressed that Buckley said Ocala correctly lol
