It’s just chill music that I really, really love.”Īs Druski declared that the new hit “Broadway Girls” was “fire, bro,” Wallen explained how the track came to be, and how it ended up with Lil Durk being top-billed. it’s really good for driving or flying on a plane or going to sleep. … Most people would never expect me to say that probably, but it’s one of my favorite bands. But Wallen stood his ground: “I swear y’all would like it. The country performer did throw one non-rap entry into that mix: “I listen to this one band called the War on Drugs a lot.” That name led the host, who apparently had not heard of the rock band, to repeat “What the fuck? What the fuck?,” and declare he would never listen to anything by that name. … I’ve been listening to a little bit of Gunna. And I listened to a lot of Young Dolph - RIP. But given how impossible the odds would have seemed that Wallen would end the year topping what is essentially a Black music chart, cultural observers may feel it’s unsafe to count out the most unlikely developments at this point.Īsked about his listening habits by Druski (who made a cameo appearance in Drake’s “Laugh Now, Cry Later” video this year) and his three co-hosts on “Behind the Vest,” Wallen said: “Honestly, my top stuff on Spotify was all hip-hop. That might seem like a long shot, given how Lamar once lambasted a white fan he’d invited on stage for singing the N-word, not unlike the offense that got Wallen into a world of trouble when it was caught on tape back in February. “But like overall, ever… I’m trying to think of not just in the past little bit… Kendrick Lamar would be pretty cool.” “I do love Moneybagg… He’s definitely at the top of the list,” Wallen said. But when the hosts asked who his ideal hip-hop collaborator would be, Wallen set his aspirations a little higher, as legends go. Wallen said during the conversation that he listens primarily to hip-hop music, Moneybagg Yo being his current favorite. Instead, the conversation focused exclusively on the collab with Lil Durk and further areas of past or potentially future country/hip-hop crossover, as well as more innocuous topics like dating and what the coolest fish he ever caught was. Over the course of an hour-long interview, Wallen was never asked once by Druski or his cohosts to discuss the incident that made him the most controversial musical figure of 2021. Wallen’s surprising seeming embrace by much of the hip-hop community was further signaled Wednesday night in his appearance on a Clubhouse talk show hosted by the popular Black comedian Druski. “Broadway Girls,” his collaboration with rapper Lil Durk, came out just before Christmas and ascended this week to the top of the chart that perhaps more than any other is looked to as a signal of what’s dominating popular Black culture - an unlikely finish to a year in which Wallen was all but banned from the airwaves for months after saying the N-word. Country star Morgan Wallen is ending 2021 in a place few would have expected to find him a few months ago: in the No.
