Music Review: DF Dub "Country Girls"

DF Dub

Country Girl

Album: DF Dub

Year: 2002

           DF Dub likes his girls naughty in the obnoxious  “Country Girl.”

              A dim guitar opens the single, setting a simple tone. In the intro, he says he’s going to talk about his favorite girlfriend. (“Oh yea/I'll tell ya a story/About a country girl/Oh yea.”)

              He said she lives in a small town in Texas. She was in New York to visit a friend. She walked by his barbecue and complimented him on his chain. They began a conversation and before the game, he decided to take her for a drive. He found out she was recently out of college and taking a break from job hunting. Her name was stereotypical, something with Jo or Mae at the end. She could be super sweet and polite. However, she could turn on the bitch with the snap of her fingers. She told him how protective her father is and he realized he had to be careful. They hooked up in the  back of  his truck. (“She was a country girl from Cleveland, Texas/In a big city and she liked my necklace (Bling Bling)/So we started talking, while we took a ride/In thee big pick-up truck and my hat was to the side (Oh yea)/She was a country girl, from the class of '96 ('96)/A big booty with some big ole country (damn)/A country name with some country attitude/Say yes Ma’am, but at times she's kinda rude/A daddy's girl, so I had to watch my ass/Sixteen, Mr. Hill would whoop my ass/He can't kick it, I'm a city kid/Imagine what would happen if he knew what we did (we did)/Oh yea.”)

                  In the chorus, he says she was an unexpected lover. (“I fell in love with a country girl/A city kid in a different world/ I fell in love with a country girl/A city kid in a different world/ I fell in love with a country girl/A city kid in a different world/ I fell in love with a country girl/A city kid in a different world.”)

                On their date, she said she’s gone to every Kenny Chesney concert. She took him to every country bar they could find in the city. He felt like a fish out of water. Her dad would glare at him and probably labeled him a punk. However, she felt the same. She had to adjust to his living large lifestyle. (“She liked country living and acoustic guitars/And Kenny Chesney in country bars/And Cadillacs and I couldn't relate/I'm just a concrete kid on a country date/And her dad hated me, I knew it/Didn't like my tattoos, pierced ears and black music/We still chill cow tipping and tripping/With that brushed papa shirt lift back ‘cause she was tipping (Oh yea)/She was a country girl home cookin' and grubbin' (Hmm)/Ain't used to my style big limos and clubbin' (We be clubbin')/A city kid and I'm doing my thang/I like an ole country girl and this is how I sang/Yee-hoo, what, what.”)

           The chorus is sung again.

            As he found out, she liked to get wild while in the city, She outdrank him shot for shot. She lived in her various pastel shades of tube tops and cutoff shorts. She’s lucky if she can get wi-fi. (“A country girl cut off jeans and lollipops/Tequila shots, tube tops and liquor stops/A country girl with them country ways/Livin' big city nights but them country days (Ugh)/A country girl don't understand thuggin' (What)/A country girl tractors and beer chuggin'/A country girl pigtails and care free/No direct dish, just Channel 3 (Oh, wait a minute)/This the only channel you have?/What?/Oh yea.”)

                The chorus is sung again.

                At the end, he says country girls are just like every other girl. (“Country girls taste just like chicken.”)

                 DF Dub smirks his way through his pathetic attempt at rapping. He’s pretty proud of his jerkiness. The stereotyping is ignorant. However, it’s the implied virgin/whore dynamic that’s disgusting. He turns the country girl into some sort of fetish.

               The stupid  “Country Girls” deserves to be slapped. Hard.
