What’s your thoughts? I get both sides, but I’ve lived in 40-60 cities all over in my lifetime.
I’d react exactly like T.I. if someone said I was “country” but Idk, they were in the south too. It’s all relative.

Ol’ hickory dikkory ass
The fukk are you talking about
funny thing calling people country is fighting words in most places
I seen Jamaicans do it and Africans do it. Same energy... it's slick talk
Just talking shytThe fukk are you talking about
Country is typically used as a light hearted jab or flat out diss. Fabulous gotta be being disingenuous
Being from the north we just call anything associated with the south “country“.
Like, all my family in the south, no matter where they live, are referred to as the “country cousins”. They can make more money than us, live in better homes, be better educated, don’t matter, still referred to as the “country cousins”.
But I can see TI’s perspective. It’s probably viewed the same way when in Africa someone says someone is from the “bush” or “the village”.
But a point should also be made with respect to dialect. To me, a Whitley Gilbert is “southern”. And using that as a reference, someone that sounds like TI would be country.

T.I. has a point his accent is Southern, BUT at the same time country is not derogatory.

"I agree with Beyonce". Of course you do Fabolous. So scared to have discourse if it's a disagreement with a superstar artist
Anyway, County is derogatory. If TI is from the city, then he's actually not "Country"
Even if you grew up far away from the city, I would say they are from a Rural or Small town area
