This entire saga has been such a middle finger to country music. They pulled the original song off the country music charts, then Billy Ray teams on the remix, goes to #1 on the CMC, then all the racist rednecks start falling all over themselves, "I bet Lil Nas ain't ever ridden a horse." So they put him on a horse for the video.

Never heard of any of this until right now. Just watched the video and I thought it was like a rejected SNL video that got leaked.

The only good thing was Chris Rock at the end with the speeding bullet with grease on it.

That song is a literal joke, right? It's bad

It is apparently a political thing? I was reading about it on Wikipedia and it seems there is a controversy over it being on the country music charts. As I was reading there was a mention of a rapper I'd never heard of doing an album that


.......by black artists making cross-genre music, noting that rapper Juice Wrld's Death Race for Love (2019) would "probably be the most commercially successful rock album of 2019", but would never appear on rock charts or playlists,.....

I downloaded it and it isn't rock by any stretch. It is synthetic garbage so I guess it could be pop music these days.

The original song in this thread ain't country either.
 
Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more (Kio, Kio)

I got the horses in the back
Horse tack is attached
Hat is matte black
Got the boots that's black to match
Ridin' on a horse, ha
You can whip your Porsche
I been in the valley
You ain't been up off that porch, now

Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'

Ridin' on a tractor
Lean all in my bladder
Cheated on my baby
You can go and ask her
My life is a movie
Bull ridin' and boobies
Cowboy hat from Gucci
Wrangler on my booty

Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'
Can't nobody tell me nothin'
You can't tell me nothin'

Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I got the

If that ain't country, Neither is this:



Sounds like Rap to me.
 
I am going to say that by the norms and standards of country music - this is not country.

Let me explain.

I do believe that most country music is boring. This song is fantastic. The only logical conclusion is that this song isn't country.

(There are good country songs, but honestly, only very few imho).

I honestly do not care one bit what people classify it as - but hats off to the country guy that supported it and great on the artist - because this is a great song.
 
Also, When does Lil' Nas X rap on the song??

He's singing the entire time.
 
Those of you saying this is Rap or Hip Hop are only saying that because he's BLACK.

He doesn't rap on this song at all.

If anything it's POP.

WHO makes the music isn't relevant to WHAT Genre it is.

The problem is IMHO there are only 2 genres of music.

Good shit.

Shit that sucks.

Thank you.....I couldn't agree more...genres have segregated music...the Rolling Stones "Sweet Virginia" is as country as you can get under the "rock" label....Ray Charles modern sounds of country music is a gem....

Pop to me just means it makes a lot of money

I believe he himself calls it country trap. If that is what it is...fine.

I don't like it so pop is a very good name for it. Call it whatever you want. I thought the video was pretty cool but the song is gaaaaaarbage. He is using autotune or some effect right? Can't stand that sound. Fake
 
Red Sovine predates them all! Tom Waits covered this one much later on

That is one of the best songs ever. By a country group.

If Led Zepplin had made that EXACT song note for note and the country chart people took them off the charts I'd be fine with that. That song is way more country than the song in the OP anyway. Speaking the story doesn't sound like rap and the chorus certainly isn't.

This makes zero sense. That's exactly why it's called rap. If you are rapping with a few of your boys, you're sitting around having a conversation (speaking, talking, not singing).

This could also be Rap. Rap is what you DO.

Also, Lil' Nas X isn't rapping! He isn't speaking the story. He's singing it.
