Music and lyrics

White Trash Beautiful primarily mixes

turntable scratches and explicit lines and bravado.[5]

The album mainly blends country and blues into lyrical narratives of loneliness.[3] Everlast uses a haggard voice for singing grim songs.[5] He occasionally engages in rap clichés, with verses expressing street bravado and cynicism in addition to relationship issues and heartbreak.[3]
