Absolutely the best conversation and explanation of why only a few artist can cross over into and do Country and be openly accepted. And why Darius Rucker, Kidd Rock and Post Malone have been so good at it and so welcomed by the majority of Country Music Fans. Great job explaining it Jason.
Darius Rucker sounded like a Country Artist doing rock with Hootie. Post Malone has a timbre in his voice which has a strong flex, he could release a song in ANY genre and it will probably sound great. Less we forget he did a song with OZZY.
@@Lightning4u23 i’ve listen to him and I’m talking about when he’s live also he’s still auto tuned i’ve heard him maybe two times without autotune live In their older performances
Post malone , Kane brown can sing traditional country music. Post malone just put out a traditional country song . And Kane brown performs Randy Travis songs and sounds amazing. Jelly Rolly is current country . These dudes don't care about haters . Love these dudes. They are definitely Country music artists. You need to listen to their traditional country performances.
@josephbeach6046 I for one didn't make any statement as to who is and isn't cou try music artist. I simply stated I would live to see them all perform together! Take your hateful ass somewhere else abd Troll! 👋 👋 👋 👋
Post Malone has always been a HipHop/Pop guy with a country vibe, so his country sound is totally fitting! I live in Pendleton Oregon (home of the Pendleton Whiskey Fest and the Round Up) and everyone here totally loves him and he came and did Whiskey Fest back in like 2017 or 2018 and it was a major success. So him transitioning into country really does make sense.
Love Oregon. Just no jobs in the small towns. Went to Reedsport. Winchester Bay Area. Stayed for a month and pretty much lived off the land. One of the best times of my life. So beautiful. I would have stayed if there were more good paying jobs. Now back home in upstate New York.
Post Malone, Jelly Roll, Darius Rucker, and Kid Rock all have country in their background and genuinely love country which is why they have had success in country. They didn’t make a mockery of it like other people that will not be named.
Jason aldean deserves to go into the country music Hall of Fame . 30 Number one hits and counting. Numerous Top ten hits and artist of the decade and all the awards to go with it. Jason Aldean is awesome. When you bridge from Jason aldean to morgan Wallen. My top 2 favorite current artists. Unbelievable talent.
@@bobabooey4537 . That has nothing to do with getting in the Country music hall of fame 😂. Based on number 1 hits and their careers. How many weeks at number #1 doesn't matter. Jason Aldean will go into the hall of fame. Haters keep hating . You are obviously clueless . Artist of the decade Jason Aldean will walk easily into the Hall of fame .
It’s not an unpopular answer. Some people just like to say stuff and want it to seem contrarian or controversial because they think it’ll distract from it being an unoriginal thing to say
@@dhirmer Wishing you nothing but blessings and protection vibes wherever you go. That event taught me situational awareness, always to look out for others, and made me super glad that i was a gun owner because that bought me extra time to run.
Post is from my hometown of Grapevine, Texas. Granted a few decades after me. My mother-n-law was his first grade teacher. Over the years it’s grown exponentially, yet still has that small town fill. I now reside outside of Houston travel to Grapevine every few weeks to visit (actually I’m spend a few days being her handyman). Turns out Post is quite generous to his hometown, especially the school children. Not really a fan but then I think real country music died around 1990, sans a few and I men a few artists that actually play country.
He's written some GREAT songs...has a BEAUTIFUL voice...I listen to some of his less mainstream stuff... Felling Whitney...I fall apart..I just love his voice... And I love his attitude/personality....
Green Tractor... One of my favorites I can't imagine anything better than the Jason Aldean signature series John Deere Tractor Feeding hungry... Full circle moment for sure... 🤠
Post is fire man…he knows more country songs than most, a genuine solid artist and nice guy, his concerts are crazy to boot..he will do good anywhere he goes
@@lilpoohbear653why isn’t he lol. He’s from Texas he grew up on country. He’s a song writer he write great music. He normally rocks jeans and boots in his free time haha
The only thing I like or use in social media is, that we can get breaking news (and most often more truthful) than having to wait on news outlets on tv to come on and tell ‘their version ‘ of the truth. Whatever they want us to know , but not all of the facts. Jason, I agree with you on that statement.
Great interview, and yes to social media! It’s so stupid that labels wait until someone has 1M followers to think about signing them. It’s the label’s job to build the artist.
I've been a country fan my whole life. I legit believe Post just dropped one of the best country albums in 30 years. Modern day country writers can't write a catchy chorus to save their lives. Couple songs on new album are whatever, but the majority are bangers.
Post malone is a legitimate musician. He started off a guitarist, has always been a country fan. It makes sense hed make an album. On top of lot of metal musicians are in Nashville writing country for the biggest names in the genre
Kid Rock and Post Malone are artists that like Country and people like Darrius , kid and post are making music that they like writing their own songs and the then the sound board guy makes it sound rock, or country et. But they were writing country music all alone, that’s why Jessica Simpson didn’t make it.
I LOVE me some Post,ALL day,ANY day. At first I was caught off guard when I heard him in country,two rounds on a song..I'm full on addicted again. Hands down,fucking awesome! ❤
That goes for everything. Even Christianity. Social media isnt the problem. Its the people. Christianity is not the problem Its the people who call themselves Christians
The problem is country music today is not country! It's all bubble gum pop shit! People just need to need to stop trying to act like they're somebody or they can sing like that person. We have some of the old country singers sitting back listening to some of this shit laughing there asses off! Saying you call that country music? Ha Ha Ha. I'm used to Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard , George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, Keith Whitley, Tobey Keith. Them good old days. Back when music was music and actually meant something
Arguably happens in every genre and every generation. This happens in hip hop too "that aint real hip hop" etc. Fact is, it may not be the country you grew up on and probably not superior but regardless there is no other way to categorize what country is today except the label "country" lol You wouldn't call it anything else. For example, "Pop-country" like its unnecessary. Its gonna be called country because of how it sounds and the roots it derives from. Nobody is gonna call todays country "bubble gum pop". It is country, its just not your cup of tea. It wasnt so long ago that anything besides gospel and hymns was considered "trash". Theres a whole generation that detest any radio music like Elvis. Hes deemed a legend, yet in those days, it was "Devil music". I think people just need to relax and realize they are just getting old and genres are evolving.
Well you have cowboy country, country pop, or Outlaw country like Kid Rock and Aldean. Aldean tunes the guitars down and basically sings honky tonk over a Metalica backing track.
Need to listen to more independent artists ❤ Like Gary Adcock, Wyatt Flores etc, Southern Roots have not been lost I assure you. All Mainstream News,music& Social Media is Destroyed 😢
If you truly and humbly respect and love the genre, it's different. Respect and knowledge of the history and lineage make the difference. I completely agree with Jason here.
@@jatteam8615 posty? How old are you, 4? Also if a country singer like George Strait made a song with fiddles and guitars and said it was pop would you deny it? Yes you would, so miss me with the crap.
Some of his rap songs have country themes, I always thought "Paranoid" by him was a country song at heart, doesn't sound like a country song at all, but the theme is super country, it's about the govt wanting to take you and your land
I think it’s funny to see all the new jelly roll fans who have no clue he used to be a rapper! I played 4 tracks from 07-09 of jelly roll for some people and they had no clue it was him!
When you were in Lubbock tx, they put my grandson on radio he sang song at age 5 he is 16 now he is the one that discovered your music don't cut the song down
I mean Post is from Texas sooooo. He was heavily influenced by country. So I always find it weird when they ask these questions about artist born and raised in the south. lol
@jasonaldean, was very impressed with your rendition of SHBAC at Toby Keith ACM. You did so well singing it. Toby’s catalogue has over 2000 songs. Think you just might find one or two that suits you. Never before heard Toby song. Please check it out and record. Thanks in advance
Absolutely the best conversation and explanation of why only a few artist can cross over into and do Country and be openly accepted. And why Darius Rucker, Kidd Rock and Post Malone have been so good at it and so welcomed by the majority of Country Music Fans. Great job explaining it Jason.
Darius always had a foot in country tho if I remember correctly
Posty has always been a country boy at heart.
Every collaboration I’ve seen with Posty and someone in country has been fire! 🔥
that whole album with be fire 🔥 absolutely 💯
Darius Rucker sounded like a Country Artist doing rock with Hootie. Post Malone has a timbre in his voice which has a strong flex, he could release a song in ANY genre and it will probably sound great. Less we forget he did a song with OZZY.
I like post but let’s be honest his tone is 90% Autotune….
@ryangraham7012 listen to his live acoustic stuff... even without the auto-tune, he sounds great
@@Lightning4u23 i’ve listen to him and I’m talking about when he’s live also he’s still auto tuned i’ve heard him maybe two times without autotune live In their older performances
Sorry love my kid rock always yvonne burgess
absolutely!!!!
Jason Aldean Jelly Roll and Post Malone is collab concert i NEED in my life! Kane Brown is a bonus! ❤❤❤
Jelly roll Kane brown and post Malone isn't country and never will be
Post malone , Kane brown can sing traditional country music. Post malone just put out a traditional country song . And Kane brown performs Randy Travis songs and sounds amazing. Jelly Rolly is current country . These dudes don't care about haters . Love these dudes. They are definitely Country music artists. You need to listen to their traditional country performances.

Let's not forget about Aaron Lewis coming over to county music and im glad he did i love his music.
Your right about Kidd Rock & Post Malone we open our arms to him .Beyonce is a huge HELL NAW 😂
Yep kid and post are our kinda people but beyonce yeah that ain’t happening
Amen to that

All these comments mean I gotta find out WTF Post Malone is.
@dwightcurrie8316 his very first album is the best, Stoney.

I do agree
He does. I feel he’s very underrated
I agree with Jason's "unpopular answer" Social Media hands down.
It’s not an unpopular answer. Some people just like to say stuff and want it to seem contrarian or controversial because they think it’ll distract from it being an unoriginal thing to say
Me and my wife will forever be linked to Jason Aldean. We were both Route 91 survivors. #Countrystrong #Vegasstrong
I was there too, one of the scariest moments in my life and I was in combat in iraq. Glad you made if out alive 🙏
@@dhirmer Wishing you nothing but blessings and protection vibes wherever you go. That event taught me situational awareness, always to look out for others, and made me super glad that i was a gun owner because that bought me extra time to run.

@@lilpoohbear653 and neither are you. just a loser watching youtube shitting on people more successful than yourself.
Post knows what real country music is. He’s a Dwight Yoakum fan.
I would love to play beer pong with that group of people lol
at 2:29 he is talking about people like Beyonce, guarantee it! LMAO!!
He def was lol
Definitely!
Post Malone is a country boy at heart!!
No he’s most certainly is not.
Jason Aldean better make it into the Country Music Hall of Fame! Jason is an absolute legend!! 💯
Conway Twitty is a legend, might want to rethink that..
He'll get in
jason aldean, jelly roll, and post malone walk in to a bar.
BEST NIGHT EVER!
and don't forget Kane Brown 🙂
Jason aldean is always hall of fame
You forgot to bring up Billy Strings. Best picker out of anyone Post has collaborated with
was so pumped when post was doing a country album! so far the few songs out are on repeat 🔥🔥✌🏼
Jason & Post would do Amazing song Together!!!It would Diffanly be a Number1 hit❤
I wouldn’t mind trying to play beer pong with Jason Aldean and a group of his friends…….🍺🍺
Def was your biggest song here in NC I still sing it hahaa 💚💚💚💚
Even when post made more hip hop influenced music he’s always use a little country elements. That’s why I think it’s genuine with post
Dude is Jason wearing a seven pointed star from Game of Thrones ? 🤣
Great comment on Posty! I hope Jason and Post Malone put out a song together soon!

Big green tractor was my first favorite along with my kinda party
My fave is still asphalt cowboy so amazing luved that life for 20 years
Good honest interview. Jason is an amazing singer. ❤he's real County!!
20 years since Hicktown….gosh I feel old!
haha SAME
Big Green Tractor was our first dance song!
I love the real feelings - the small potatoes 🥔 😂 he had to make money for diapers, he's one of us y'all ❤
Aldean is the real deal, love the Kid Rock comparison.
You are definitely getting in the HOF brother.
Love me some Posty ❤
This is hilarious. This guy’s asking Jason Aldean questions about country music! 😂😂
Aldean, kicks arse in concert!
Glad to hear your thoughts Jason! Much respect!
Great interview, and yes to social media! It’s so stupid that labels wait until someone has 1M followers to think about signing them. It’s the label’s job to build the artist.
Nelly and Tim McGraw caused country music to explode.
Post Malone I welcome with open arms. Beyonce can kick rocks!
Post is also a really good guitar player
Great interview, I could listen to you all day! You are the best Jason ❤
POST MALONE does duets with everyone so he dont have to hire a band LOL
got to watch post, aldean, jelly roll, and kane brown play BP after the AMA’s 🔥🔥
Yes Please Do one with Post Malone that would be Awesome for everyone and Especially if you do one with Jelly Roll too
dude...NO
I've been a country fan my whole life. I legit believe Post just dropped one of the best country albums in 30 years. Modern day country writers can't write a catchy chorus to save their lives. Couple songs on new album are whatever, but the majority are bangers.

A collab wb GREAT!! Love it! ❤😊Nice compliments for Posty! Nice to hear positive thoughts from fellow artists !!
I 100% agree Social Media has created monsters I am happier since I stopped using it
Great Interview, you are such a great respectable person
Love “Big Green Tractor” 😂

Country loves Posty, we love him ❤️
Yes social media has to go
WE ALL LOVE POSTY AND HE MAKES GREAT COUNTRY MUSIC🤘🏻
Love Post! Great interview!
I listen to Aldine in my truck all the time I wish I can go one off his concert one day
Post malone actually did a country song. Most pop artists will put a cowboy hat on the album cover and call it country even though it is just pop.
Post Malone is the coolest thing to happen to country music since Morgan Wallen
Posty is talented in so many ways.
Amerilla Sky is the biggest banger of all time
People are forgetting about Nelly he definitely made the country crossover famous
Post has always like country music ask Jelly Roll
I think people can tell Post is a genuine person.
I LOVE me some Post,ALL day,ANY day. At first I was caught off guard when I heard him in country,two rounds on a song..I'm full on addicted again. Hands down,fucking awesome! ❤
That goes for everything.
Even Christianity.
Social media isnt the problem.
Its the people.
Christianity is not the problem

Will Jason Aldean make it into the hall of fame? That has to be the easiest answer of all time. YES!
Jason is number 1
Wish he had a track with Post on the album.
Post Malone just likes making music. He doesn’t care who it’s with or what type. He’s no longer in it for the money.

This is a prime example of 90's country doing it's thang.
Good interview ❤
Love Kane Brown’s voice!
Jason and Post would be a 🔥 drop
Lets be honest, ALL current newer main stream "country music" is pop. Post is just different, he knows music and is unique.
Great song ❤
Need a track with Dax too he’d be an awesome feature or vise versa you feature on a track of his
Anybody that thinks post Malone, kane brown, and jelly roll is country would believe that alan jackson George Strait and merle Haggard is rap.
😂😂😂😂😂🇺🇸
I couldnt agree more.
Try to be flexible. Posty just likes country music. I don’t think he’s trying to take over. I think he’s just doing an album at HIS fans requests!

I almost had a cut with Aldean on a song called Country Boy Swagger.
Absolutely hall of fame👍💯✌️
I think it’s funny to see all the new jelly roll fans who have no clue he used to be a rapper! I played 4 tracks from 07-09 of jelly roll for some people and they had no clue it was him!

This song is sexy!❤
Love your song big green track
When you were in Lubbock tx, they put my grandson on radio he sang song at age 5 he is 16 now he is the one that discovered your music don't cut the song down
I didn't realize his arms were so skinny. Oh well, still like his music.
Why does that even matter
Mr Aldean...youre first ballot sir!!

Post loves REAL country he respects the genre.
