if he was white noone would care
If he was white noone would care
Nice strawman too bad it makes no sense
Why isnt Limp Bizkit on the rap charts?
I thought he was white until i saw this post
>country-inspired rap track
that's literally saying it's not a country song
I understand where they’re coming from. The song has some surface level country elements, but calling it country is debatable.
I doubt if he actually came up as a straight up country artist, and he got popular, anything would happen
>his debut single, “Best Shot,” premiered in the No. 1 spot
>Brown’s sophomore album, Experiment debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the third country release to earn the spot in 2018.
>2018 AMA Favorite Country Male Artist, Album, and Song
joggin the noggin
listened to it and it’s clearly trap/hip hop with some country elements in it
by this standard a lot of soundcloud rap could be called electronic
It’s clearly hick hop (traditionally a white genre)
yes, billboard wouldn’t care and he would still be on there
just like they dont care when taylor’s pop tracks have country elements and climb the charts
No one cares. The internets only functions anymore is to perpetually prouduce outrage at nothing
It's funny because Nashville boomer producers have been ham-fistedly mixing hip hop elements into bro country for years (Florida Georgia Line, etc.) to try appealing to "the kids," but when someone comes from the other side of the aisle suddenly it's not ok
shut up sjw cuck
WE WUZ COUNTRY
Yeah, I think the biggest factor at play here is just that Nashville is an extremely closed-off industry in its own little world with very established rules, everyone works with the same people and goes through the same channels. It's practically impossible for any outsider to gain leverage on that chart, much less one whose name, aesthetic, and music don't fit the image. I think beyond it not really being a country song (though I definitely think it could play in a modern pop-country format and not stick out too egregiously) it was threatening to them for that reason
That guy passes for white in America tho
>"country-inspired rap song"
so... a rap song?
Don't think anyone would deny its more of a parody. I can see why they would pull it but it comes off a little hypocritical considering country music stations are full of bullshit that sounds like this anyway. With that being said the shit slaps.
As a famous country musician said...
>modern county music is just rap music for people who don't like black people
That said this song doesn't even attempt to be country in anyway and is just another excuse for niggers to cry until they get their way.
No shit
Rednecks don't want a black guy touching their music? Stop the presses
>calling it country is debatable
It's a fucking rap song. It's not country, and it's mot up for debate. Genres exist. Get over it.
the same people who call Charlie Pride a legend?
Post your favorite country song. Here's mine
youtu.be
>expecting teenagers on this board to know who Charley Pride or Aaron Neville is
We should go back to the old standard - if a song has PERCUSSION/DRUMS in it, then it's not a fucking country song. If it has clapping noises in it - not a country song. Electric guitars? Nope. We need greater purity in country, to erase the musical sins of the past half-century.
Different era, pop country is very redneck good ol boy oriented
You act like “country” hasn’t always been a marketing term
media wants to turn it into a race-issue (unintentionally dividing us) when really its just a parody of country and i can see why a song thats like 75% percent rap with just country vocals would get taken off the country billboard.
dont think rednecks are running billboard their too busy chewing dip i dont think they want anything to do with mainstream media
>straight up country artist
his other songs are just generic trap he just made this song as a meme to help him blow up and now that all the attention is drawn to him hes probably gonna let them all down when it comes to genuine music and people will clown him and eventually forget
"I SPIT THEM COUNTRY RAP TUNES LIKE HEE-HAW."
youtu.be
I GOT THEM HORSES IN THE BACK
HORSE TACK IS ATTACHED
HAT IS MATTE BLACK
GOT THE BOOTS THATS BLACK TO MATCH
I fucking love this song so goddamn much
wow, this song is trash, but then again most pop country is....so maybe it is country?
see
looks black to me
youtube.com
Billy Ray Cyrus on it now. Let's see them put Billy on that Nigger Rap chart.
How will shook nashville boomers ever recover?
lmfao
Tons of rap songs have sampled the banjo or steel guitar. Why is this one any different?
The only rap element is the drums. The lyrics, delivery, and rest of the beat is country. He doesnt really rap the whole track
so whites can steal the vocal flow of rap, jack the style of pop and rock and it's still country but as soon as a black tries to make a country vibe song it aint country okay yall fukcing wackkk
rednecks gonna be rednecks
>make a rap song with country sounds
Yo da fuck dog dis shit country rules don't be applying to us
But it's fucking true. They're just trying to broaden the scope of the country genre in order to pervert the listeners to cancerous rap crap.
Same shit they did with Kid-Rock.
It's not going to work though... like how it didn't with KidRock.
It's stupid. Categories of music should categorise sounds.
This.
The issue is clearly not sound. The artist just wants the free advertisement of being on the country charts.
Plus (((they))) don't like how clean the charts are. Gotta pervert the white masses.
If he was white it would be called country
He's an industry plant anyways so who cares.
If he was a white rapper?
No, but good luck with your outrage. Maybe try twitter
Does he have any other songs?
except they didn't play florida georgia line on the hip hop stations, did they?
Yes, they're pretty good. youtube.com
Shit that's pretty nice, definitely going to check him out now.
Yeah, the thing is it's not a country song but most songs on the country charts are just pop or pop-rock with southern accents.
>country-inspired rap track
Still rap lil nigger.
Banger right here
youtu.be
How is this sonically that different from the hip-hoppy bro country that was already on the radio?
Just like bubba sparxxx on deliverance oh wait
I'm gonna bump this on my horse later
except that the hip hoppy bro country isn't on the fucking rap charts
This is terrible dude.
What about this one?
youtu.be
Hypothetically it could be if the artists decided to release it under the hip hop genre instead of country (like how Taylor Swift switched to the pop charts with Red). At a certain point, the genre is what the artists say it is.
>At a certain point, the genre is what the artists say it is.
not really
I could see how people would like it but it's not for me.
>Hypothetically it could be if the artists decided to release it under the hip hop genre instead of country (like how Taylor Swift switched to the pop charts with Red).
Except that Red is a pop album. It's not country. She switched to an accurate descriptor. Describing bro country as hip hop is just dumb.
>Genres exist
No they don't, and it's not up for debate.
They decide where it gets released so yeah really. When the music sits between two genres and isn't obviously, undebatably one or the other, this is especially true. If Daft Punk had wanted to release Random Access Memories as "dance" instead of "pop" they could have, and people likely wouldn't have had much of a problem with it.
>They decide where it gets released so yeah really.
So I can release a black metal song as 'dance' and it's true because I said so?
>When the music sits between two genres and isn't obviously, undebatably one or the other, this is especially true
Read again
So if I make a black metal song and put an 'untz-untz' beat under the chorus I can release it as dance?
>I’m wrong don’t argue with me
Yeah. People would probably argue about it but if your black metal is danceable, it could reasonably be considered dance music
this is a fantano excerpt
He is black and I don't care.
Reminder that this song, which is just an 808 beat with guitars and singing on it, was allowed to play on country radio, and charted for like an entire year
But you can listen to it and tell that it's clearly rap music. It's not genre bending.
and people complained about it
As a fan of country music growing up, I can tell you that country music fans agree that this kind of garbage isn't country either.
Was it removed from Billboard?
No. Probably because Sam Hunt wasn't a rapper.
Is this Lil Fella going to be the turning point for normies
>Oh, I like everything
>INCLUDING Rap and Country
people been saying country been dead since taylor swift debuted. why does it matter now?
And yet a lot of so-called rappers these days sing all of their "rap"
>i-if it was w-whites no one w-w-would care
>stand up for the most oppressed group
Why do white right wingers have such a victim complex?
Lil Nas X doesn't.
This is pretty much just particularly shit country though not soundcloud rap with a country twang
Kind of just semantics at this point but whatever
He clearly wants to be one though
Yeah it's white people crying, and not black people complaining a rap song isn't on the country charts
He's not.
The only intelligent comment in this entire thread
>n-no u
Good one
So after listening to some of his stuff, I came to the conclusion that he's pretty good and I hope he doesn't get known for just being a meme.
You’re a moron and your reading comprehension needs work.
>isn't that the nigger who did a shitty rap song with Miley Cyrus one hit wonder dad?
As if Nashville cares about country music these days. Keep the song, it’s no worse than the shite they’re putting on now.
Tbh they opened the doors for this shit with all the bro country with 808 beats
Everything on the "rap charts" sucks
Everything on the "country charts" sucks as well.
This is music from the colon, to be flushed and discarded.
i can see why they would remove it from the country charts, while it does have a country vibe to it, the overall sound is more in the contemporary rap/trap sphere and the country genre itself just isn't very flexible, it doesn't have nearly the same track record of integrating the sounds of other genres that hip hop does
of course i'm not a country listener so i'm just talking out of my ass, but from what i can tell the fans are more drawn to that traditional kind of country sound and old town road is probably too far of a departure to appeal to country listeners
we gonna ignore the fact that my nigga pimp c and bun b made country rap tunes since 92?
I mean country rap is a genre. I think the song is mainly trap rap with a country rap influence
they have to insert themselves into everything
if all white people moved to mars 3 weeks later a ship full of immigrants would land then start talking about how mars was a white supremacist planet
name 5 other genres black people "inserted" themselves in my fellow cracker
The only country in it is the banjo really, and that's sampled from a Nine Inch Nails song anyway.
Bullshit. I dont like black people and modern country is fucking terrible.
the nine inch nails sample doesn't play a banjo though. is the banjo a myth? I don't any banjo
Its from a Nine Inch Nails song.
