"Homeboy" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Eric Church. It was released in February 2011 as the ninth single of his career and the first from his 2011 album Chief. The song reached the Top 20 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart with a peak at number 13. Church wrote this song with Casey Beathard about his son Tucker Beathard

In "Homeboy", the narrator addresses a delinquent brother who has taken to a destructive urban lifestyle. The lyrics play on the word "homeboy", turning it into a plea for his brother to "come on home, boy."[1] Co-writer Casey Beathard came up with the song's idea after hearing his son say "come on, homeboy" to a friend.[2] He made the song available as a free digital download from his website between February 20 and 24, 2011, although it was not available from retailers until March 8.[3]

Matt Bjorke of Roughstock rated the song four stars out of five, calling it "relatable on many levels" and praising the "interesting musical accompaniment". He thought that the "loud guitars are sure to turn off some people", but believed that the song would appeal to fans of Hank Williams, Jr. or Charlie Daniels.[4] Stephen M. Deusner of Engine 145 gave it a "thumbs down", describing it as something "actively, even aggressively bad to the point of insulting, both culturally and musically." He thought that the song stereotyped the urban lifestyle and that the production "topple[d] over into self-parody".[5]

The music video was directed by Peter Zavadil and premiered in May 2011. It was filmed at the former Tennessee State Prison in Nashville, Tennessee, where Church also filmed the video for "Lightning", an album track from his first album. In the video, the brother character is shown being pursued by police officers, jailed, and then leaving jail while realizing the effects of his decisions.[1]

This is my first time listening to a song of his and i have to say i can not stand the sound of his voice. This shit sounds like mainstream pop country all the way. Too polished and shined for my liking!!

Chruch is just over marketed. From the ACM video making claims he is heir to the throne, to wearing aviators as would be expected (clearly taking a page from Hank Jr. who wears them more for cosmetic/vision issues from his accident and not just for the hell of it.)

I agree with Trig and the vibe he is getting. For pop-country to change, it will take time and more than one song. This seems to be part of songs that are a begining to the begining of the end of the end of pop country.

This is bs all yall talking shit about Eric and the trigg for writing this article. Thanks trigg for writing this i like almost all of Erics stuff. If ya like this message i then check out one of my favorite songs Tough by the great Justin Mcbride

i have to disagree with the hip hop part of triggerman. It so contrived and clean polished stuff we heard before. Im not a hip hop fan but it seems like pp country and there fans seem to want to be anti-hip hop more then they want to make halfway decent country music.

Wherever I listen to a song, I separate it into elements: production, instrumentation, songwriting, lyrics, vocals, etc. The most important element of the song is the heart from which all the other elements are built on top of. It is difficult for many people to do this, including myself sometimes, because we all have built up lots of preferences and prejudices about music over time. We might hear one element in a song like Auto-Tune, and immediately have a visceral reaction that it is not music we like. And some may identify with a song because of Auto-Tune. We pigeon hole music because of our preferences. People have said this song sounds like Miley Cyrus and Kid Rock, Creed and Colt Ford, all completely different artists. Why? Because they are reacting to certain elements instead of listening, and because Eric Church purposely put elements into this song to cause visceral reactions in people based on preferences.

Thanks, Triggerman, for a completely fair and unbiased review of this song. I like how you are always able to put your personal feelings aside and look at a song for what it really is. Keep up the good work. Oh, and the song is pretty good too, I have to admit.

Homeboy Sandman is back, bouncier, and livelier than ever on his newest single, the funky and catchy "Real Good." Moreover, you might know the Queens lyricist for previous amazing work, such as the recently released Now! tape with Darko The Super and his conceptually released project, 12 Days Of Christmas & Da De Los Reyes. This time around, he trades the boom-bap flows and dense subject matter for some more tools in his arsenal: vibrant delivery, some cheeky lines, and above all, a lot of fun. It opens up with brash brass and a simple but enveloping piano melody, and steady drums and snaps come in to give the cut some more weight and swing.

Furthermore, Homeboy Sandman is able to flow over this peppy production with a lot of personality, adopting a casual but somewhat snarky vocal tone to spit his bars with. "Real Good" is also a superb display of rhyme scheme adherence and creative follow-ups with internal rhymes, all while sticking to his artistically pure and un-compromised lyrical stance. Not only that, but the "Get Yours" MC doesn't slouch on the hook: "How you doing, Boy Sand? Real good, real good" will likely be one of the catchiest choruses you'll find this week within hip-hop. But the bars don't slouch on here, and the verses are still the most exciting part of the song. In this era of rap, such qualities seem harder to find than ever.

Meanwhile, Aesop Rock's frequent collaborator is so prolific that we're sure this isn't the end of excellent singles from him in 2024. We might even get a couple of projects if we're lucky, although we wouldn't want to pressure Homeboy Sandman like that. You can tell that if he didn't really think about this song, he might've acted against it, and we're glad taking one's time with art results in these gems. If you haven't heard "Real Good" yet, you can find it on your preferred streaming service, but you should support it on Bandcamp here. As always, peep some standout bars below and log back into HNHH for more great hip-hop releases around the clock.

This song made me extremely uncomfortable after the first listen. I was thinking Eric Church was being narrow-minded and talking trash on a different lifestyle. After a few more listens, though, it became apparent that it was about a fake "homeboy," not one born in the ghetto. The kind that was brought up in a good home and a good neighborhood but wants to act "gangsta" because he thinks it's cool. The line about tearing off in Daddy's car indicates he didn't grow up in poverty, but that he was spoiled rotten, since he had access to his parents' car. Then the line about unloading hay takes it a step further, implying that he got sent to a farm to learn the value of discipline and hard work, not to mention change his outlook on life and straighten out his bad attitude.

You guys aren't looking at it with an open mind- just because its called "homeboy" doesn't mean its really about a homeboy. watch the video, watch the seriousness eric sings this song with. its a lot deeper then it sounds at first listen. i haven't decided if its about his actual BROTHER, or a close friend. (he uses the term brother which isnt common with country type people unless it is their brother) Take a look at these lines tho...."We both know who you are" (eric knows this guy)"If you don't do anything else for me just do this for me brother, come on home, boy.." (called him brother like i said earlier, also asks him to come home, like they shared the same home at some point, hes asking him to do something for him)"I was haulin' hay to Uncle Joes farm, thought of us barefoot, just kids in the yard" (he says uncle joe like it is his and this guys uncle, and talks about them being kids together)"I wish you'd come on back and make it all right before their called home, boy." (come back and make it alright with their parents before they pass away)

Great post. I also think it's about his brother. 

-used the terms "mama" and "daddy" 2x each like you would use it among your siblings

-actually used the term "brother"

-"We both know who you are" implies an intimate relationship, i.e. his brother

-"Uncle Joe's farm", again, using it like they share Joe as an uncle similar to how they share "mama"/"daddy"

-references very early childhood activities that would be most common among siblings

It's about his brother who left his country roots to be a "homeboy". Casey Beathard came up with the idea of the song after he heard his own son call out to his friend "c'mon homeboy". If you haven't yet met someone who left their roots to be someone they are not, you will some day.

The song is about a kid growing up in the country- "Thought of us barefoot kids in the yard, seems we were just catching snakes in the barn", who has left the "country" lifestyle for that of a more "thuggish" lifestyle. We all have these kinds of people in our hometown's and it isn't just in the inner city (the "homeboy in the song is still in his hometown). Church tells his brother (homeboy) of how Church is making a simple "blue collar forty" life unloading hay and working while his "homeboy" brother is out "runnin' these dirty ol' streets". "Got the hood here snowed but you can't fool me, we both know who you are", is in summary what the song is about. Church grew up country just like his brother, but his brother chose to leave for a different lifestyle and ignores his simple roots. The song was co written by Casey Beathard. Casey came up with the idea of the song after he heard his son saying to his friend "c'mon homeboy".

I love the sound of this song, especially the chorus. But the lyrics themselves really bother me. It's a very rare "homeboy" who chooses the life they have over some farm and family dream, most are born and raised into it. They don't run the streets to rebel against their parents or family, they do it to respect them, or provide for them. It's a different world, with different morals and values. This song combines the two in a strange way, and it comes off wrong to me. 152ee80cbc
