This saying describes the LACS, they saw what was already there, had big dreams to be there, and asked the music industry why not? Their hick hop and southern rock sound is stronger than the moonshine they drink. The LACS which is the famous short abbreviation of the Loud Ass Crackers are from the sandy dirt roads of Baxley, Georgia. A South Georgia town more famous for its sawmills and turpentine stills than for having a successful southern rap group. The LACS consist of hip hop artist Clay “Uncle Snap” Sharpe and lead vocalist / guitarist Brian “ Rooster” King. With a blue collar background they have worked shutdowns with the union and framed many a house to earn enough money keep their music dreams alive. The LACS latest album is still in the works but already has created a buzz with its contributions from Average Joe recording artist Colt Ford on the song “Shindig” and allowing the LACS the privilege of performing some of his tour dates. Want to have a good time and hear some hick hop country? Check out Colt Ford and the LACS, where you will see a show you won’t never forget. Keep watching for dates in your area. Keep listening and we hope you enjoy our new material.

Great Moments
The Lacs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good evening
Your welcome to another great moment in redneck history
Henry Thompson was a struggling locksmith and a party time inventor
He was working in his barn one cool
November day when he discovered he had a rat problem
Every day he would try too work but the
Rats multiplied and it became unbearable
He tried everything but nothing seemed to work

Then it came to him one night in a dream
He would just use the same concept
As a bear trap just on a smaller scale
So he took some spring out of a door lock
And rigged up a trap system on a wooden board
He cocked it and then he put a piece of
Cheese on it before he went to bed that night
And it worked like a charm so the next
Few days he set traps all around his barn
And within a week he doesn't have a rat problem anymore
And we want to thank you Mr.
Henry I Hate Rats Thompson for the world's first mouse trap

This had been another great moment in redneck history
(Boy Stop)

Overall Meaning

The Lacs's song "Great Moments in Redneck History" tells the story of Henry Thompson, a struggling locksmith and a part-time inventor. One day while working in his barn, Henry discovered that he had a rat problem that was making it difficult for him to work. Despite trying everything he could think of, the rat population continued to grow and become unbearable. Then one night, he had a dream that inspired him to use the same concept as a bear trap on a smaller scale to catch the rats.

So, Henry took some spring out of a door lock and rigged up a trap system on a wooden board. He baited the traps with a piece of cheese and set them all around his barn. Within a week, the rat problem was gone thanks to the world's first mouse trap. The song concludes by thanking Mr. Henry "I Hate Rats" Thompson for his invention and calling this another great moment in redneck history.
