For some reason, pre-9/11 country is the best sounding. I tend to prefer country singers because they’re more vocally talented these days. Pop singers keep whispering or using a weird baby voice and a lot of rappers aren’t any more intelligible. 🥴
@@brooks8769 hes not really being a "grifter" tbh. he took a risk doing a country album he could've just kept doing pop and hip hop and would've been fine
If you follow the Country pages/forums. They’re pissed. They feel they’ve been co-opted. They don’t think ANY of this music is Country, they think Nashville lost its way years ago, and that everyone is now muscling in on what they see as a new trend in Pop music, rather than Country music. And now corporations are gonna pump out more and more of these Pop songs with a guitar & fiddle lazily labeled Country, and the authenticity and integrity of the Country genre will be sacrificed on the altar of corporate capitalism - that already happened years ago tbf. When I said they should be happy about the genre’s newfound commercialism, the response was the same…. That this was undoubtedly *Pop music.*
Also, nobody is surprised that Billboard miscategorises songs, they’ve famously been terrible at genre classification in recent years (as has the Recording Academy). Reading their genre charts is always a good laugh: They’ve got Billie Eillish “Birds of a feather” on top of the Rock charts atm, that’s not a rock song. Had SZA sung “BOAF” the song would magically migrate to the R&B chart, there’s no rubric, it’s all vibes based. 😹
But this is the same for Hip Hop, purists have had the same arguments for decades lol. Especially when you compare music like Tupac, Rakim, LL Cool J, Nas with the likes of Sexxy Redd & Lil Yachty
They're right. We're tired of this garbage "hip hop". Absolutely insane how you think they should be grateful for glorified pop music with a fake twang.
I mean they aren’t wrong. It’s not country. It’s pop with southern twang or pop country. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy them but Morgan Wallen and George Strait are not the same.
modern country is rap music for people afraid of black people. also country nowadays is any song sung with a country twang, doesnt matter what the lyrics or the music is like, all you need is a twang and you are considered country
@@vietimports they need to name it something because it’s already pretty grating to label Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” a Country album when… we have ears….👂 it’s not Country 😅

Yo Pat, HOW the FUCK did you not mention Jellyroll at fuckin all this entire video? Especially with what he’s done this past year and how much he’s helped push the hiphop/country genre. Usually you’re always on point but I feel it was wild to leave him out of this conversation completely.
It’s interesting because in the 2010’s you had mainstream country artists incorporating rap elements into their music (poorly, I’ll add) and now in this decade it’s the inverse.
@@Tagiau where did you get that thought? I never thought you was attacking me, I'm just confused at what you just said Country adds to metalcore.Tell me which song counts as metalcore with country elements?
A portion of an artist’s goals is to get more fans. Artists moving into country just means they’re broadening their reach cause it’s a huge market. Sometimes it works, but most times it falls flat…
The reason time & nelly worked was because it’s how the south really was. The south we would hang out with country white dudes and live similar lives and share music. The north and the west was more segregated.
To be honest, I’ve never really got into to country music like that. I like some Garth Brooks , Shania Twain songs here and there. I will say though, I’ve been checking out a lot of Morgan Wallen, and Zach Bryan lately. Not gonna lie, good stuff.

Talking about country rap as if it’s a new thing rappers from the main stream are bringing to country is nuts. It’s been around for a while.

Yea Pats usually really good with this shit but I was absolutely baffled he didn’t mention Jellyroll, haystack or upchurch. Especially Jellyroll with his most recent endeavors winning him awards and taking over the genre, there’s no way he just forgot. For some reason he purposely left him out.
You forgot to mention most of the rappers that switch dont make actual GOOD country-rap songs. Old Town Road was such a success because it was a GOOD song, most of these artists today like Yung Gravy and Post Malone dont make actual good crossover songs. Which is why Lil Nas X became such a big hit. I do think blending genres is a good thing, but for the most part it doesn't work.
When I was little I used to hear country music a lot because of my mom, and I actually liked it. But as I got older I became one of those people that would listen to everything but country. But recently I started to listen to country music more and appreciate it more. Especially being from the southwest
I used to be a country hater. Say what you will but Florida Georgia Line roped me in and now I'm hooked. I couldn't be happier about the new wave of country/country crossover.
My friends and I literally talked about this last week. Never thought we’d listen to county but damn did rap suck for a while. Didn’t have an other option. County is fire! lol
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like aging of the main target group for streaming services is a big reason aswell. Like yeah, we used to dislike country, but we listened to Lil Pump in 2017. We are no longer destructive young adults who rage around all day, we are now grown up people who have started a family.
Thank you for creating such a well-researched and detailed video. The way you broke down the fusion of rap and country music was insightful and eye-opening.
That’s how you officially know your old mentally once you start hating on music cause you don’t like it it’s grandpa age happens every time a new sound or style is created
As a hip hop fanatic as I get older I respect country more and more. Mostly the underground gems that are paving their own lane in country. Plenty of great artists out there doing their own thing
Because it's much easier to go viral. They're talentless attention seekers. Jelly Roll is probably the biggest example of this. Was doing unrionic hick-hop in the late aughts, now all of a sudden he's the exact opposite of the person he used to be? yeah right lmao. I'm sure the money had nothing to do with that.
Jason Aldean actually covered "Dirt Road Anthem" the original is by Colt Ford who was arguably a pioneer in the country rap genre. Also Boondox (juggalo rapper) has been doing southern country rap for over a decade now too
Shaboozey was in a rap group in VA until they all moved. One of them was WaveIQ who has produced for some of the biggest rap artists the last few years
Fr underrated comment. Ppl in hip hop hated on Yelawolf & the internet as a whole would clown him lol but he did it very well. Currently I’d say Jellyroll blends pretty well.
Funny how they dont call it "culture vulture" when black people make country music thats predominantetly white, its almost like music is supposed to bridge cultures like a universal language to be shared by all people intsead of being gate kept as a racial divide. This is why i hate "culture vulture" as a term.
You must not be reading country forums or following people’s feed back on this rap country. Country friends hate it, not only most country these days. But especially rap country. They don’t think it is authentic country music.
I've always been a country music fan, but more traditional country. I'm not a huge fan of newer country apart from a few like Sturgill Simpson, Zach Top, Whiskey Meyers. I don't exactly hate on popular country, but it doesn't resonate the same way as more traditional does to me. I'm glad to see my favorite genre is growing in popularity. :)
@@iglasap.wgameplay post was never a rapper. Non of the music he has dropped has been in the right tempo to be a rap song. The songs arnt even structured to be a rap. The way its written isnt a rap song. This is why he got hate from the jump because he was labeled a rapper but wasnt rapping, ever. This is also why hip hop is a confusing genre. People that seem to be at the top of the game aint even rapping no more but are setting the bar for what a rap should sound like. Most people that are hip hop fans today arnt hip hop fans, they are pop fans and rather listen to post malone than rakim.
the audio mixing in this video is terrible. Why are all the songs so UNGODLY LOUD im just trying to watch this video then all these songs suddenly blare
I listen to EVERYTHING to include Country, Jazz and Classical. Music is so beautiful! If anyone cares heres a few songs One by Metallica, No Me Queda Mas by Selena, Take Care by Drake, Cigarette Daydreams by Cage The Elephant, Here Comes My Girl by Tom Petty, We Belong Together by Ritchie Valens, Boy by Lee Brice, Cello Suite 1 performed by Yo Yo Ma.
Why do people find rappers so “cool & influential?” I’ve been into country music for years, It’s always positive. I can only listen to music about sex, killing & drugs for so long. If you were raised in the suburbs no matter where you’re at you can relate to country music…
It's because country is the only thing that hasn't been totally destroyed by sex drugs and violence. The music industry milked rap for all that it was worth and pushed it as extreme as it will go, now its onto its next victim.
Ragebait title: Why are rappers are invading country music? Clickbait title: Rappers are now country stars! Realistic title: Why are rappers experimenting with country music?
It’s not just rap delving into country. Pop punk/post hardcore bands/singers are doing it too…Check out Bilmuri…he used to be a singer in one of my favorite screamo bands ( attack attack) bands and now he makes country pop lol
Anyone from MI who's been to the South knows we're just as podunk up here as they are down there. The common denominator here is the limited number of people at the bottom of the bell curve; these two genre's customers. There's only so many of them to extract wealth upward from, so poaching each other's marks was bound to happen.
Bonnaroo Music and arts festival does a pretty unique job of mixing genres and bringing different types of fans together for a weekend. You should go one year Patrick, you'd love it.
Around 2000 I was a big kid rock fan and my dad was stuck in the 80s then weirdly I got burnt out on KR and now his music is some of my old man’s fave artist. Weird how that works
The very first successful merger of country and hip hop was Bubba Sparxx’s Deliverance album. Produced entirely by Timbaland. It wasn’t a commercial hit but is the only album that connected the 2 genres.
Ok how are you not gonna bring up jelly roll, upchurch, struggle Jennings, the lacs colt ford even wrote dirt road anthem with Brantley Gilbert and they have 2 versions before Jason Alden even cut the song
I grew up in a country household. The first major current (at the time like 10 years ago) rap country crossover i remember was colt ford. Got ppl who never gave q shit about rap bumping his shit (my dad)
It's the trendy sound of the moment, that's why. It's dominating everything in the same way that trap dominated everything in 2018. Billboard is even letting country artists chart on the rock/alternative airplay list now for some reason.
I used to think that you couldn’t mix trap and metal until I saw a Zillakami music video that was so wild that I didn’t think it was possible, especially when there’s a kid holding an AK-47 and a guy shooting up heroin as well as MF’s smoking sherm among other shit! I love the fusion of music genres but it has to be done right for me!
Tempo, tone, key, all of which are specific to country and genres in general. Most country is in 140-160(most) and rap varies depending on the era. So, originally it was a soft 140 but now its standard to be 180. Tone also make a difference cause country often has guitars mixed with a ton of reverb and mid to high ranges boosted, where as any guitar in a rap song is typically "overproduced" to blend with the drums. The bass also is very distinct where rap takes from old school blues artists that have a "thick" bassline that often blends into the kick drum where country has more of a lighter tone. The bass is often, in country, played to accent guitar notes and fill gaps between the guitar and drums. Vocals are very different as well, rap takes a more "poet that talks fast" approach where country is clearly singing. Even if the artist does a "rap sing" it is still in that basic sped up tone that while no matter how much "rap-like" a country artist sings, youll still hear distinct notes, crescendo de crescendo and tonal variations. Thats the main differences since alot of people get confused as to why shaboozy is technically country where as that lilnas song is a "country influenced" song. Lilnas's song mimicks more RnB/country mix than hiphop/country mix but still.

Ppl really be saying “Post Malone is not a rapper“ but then proceeds to consider Travis Scptt a rapper lol....
?
I used to be a country hater. Say what you will but Florida Georgia Line roped me in and now I'm hooked. I couldn't be happier about the new wave of country/country crossover.
invading lmao 💀
How it's phrased is crazy
@@azyoung2097he making it sound like they a colonizer
@@Mychael.. ong
SADLY ION CARE + NEEDAHHUNDO "WIT THIS FYE" BETTA DEN ANY COUNTRY ARTIST
@@Mychael..blatts were the first colonizers. They just have weak jaws and bleed too fast. So we took your bag. Lil boy
My friends and I literally talked about this last week. Never thought we’d listen to county but damn did rap suck for a while. Didn’t have an other option. County is fire! lol
i’m confused how country artist make the most money when hip hop is more popular. is it cause country listeners buy albums etc?
They sell more
more dedicated fan bases in my opinion
Do a shaboozey breakdown vid. His first album was amazing.
Morgan Wallen is the reason it collided.
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like aging of the main target group for streaming services is a big reason aswell. Like yeah, we used to dislike country, but we listened to Lil Pump in 2017. We are no longer destructive young adults who rage around all day, we are now grown up people who have started a family.
The older i get the more i enjoy Country music, actual country music that is.
Same. I don’t like none of the poppy shit, but I do like how raw it used to sound (guess I’m a country old head lmao)

Missed a chance to shout out Tracy Chapman but its cool. Fast Car is a banger
The problem with the world is everyone trying to be hiphop. i miss boxes and clear boundaries
Thank you for creating such a well-researched and detailed video. The way you broke down the fusion of rap and country music was insightful and eye-opening.
3:30 damn good thing Pat got sober look at him back in 2002 (he's in the middle)
violated me
bro switched teams
It's crazy how your videos went from thrift stores to creating a whole hiphop category that other creators copy and paste. Keep grindin P
My friend called this genre “CRAP” = country rap 💀
Well. It is crap lol
Is your friend an 85 year old man?
lots of people call it that
😂😂😂 I mean that's the entire genre of rap today. Straight CRAP. Not one of these marks can rap and actually sound good. The whole category is garbage
That’s how you officially know your old mentally once you start hating on music cause you don’t like it it’s grandpa age happens every time a new sound or style is created
I was just talking about this the other day with my friend. Country music is taking over.
Shaboozey doesn't make country music he makes music for the country!!!
🇺🇸🦅
Hip hop/rap has gone downhill. Ticket sales for that genre isn’t close to what country is doing right now
Country went downhill as well.
As a hip hop fanatic as I get older I respect country more and more. Mostly the underground gems that are paving their own lane in country. Plenty of great artists out there doing their own thing
Im not saying country music is racist, but here's a video clip of morgan wallen lmao
There's other country songs that dropped the hard r back in the days
I've been making country rap for years.. the surge in country rap these days is insane.
Because it's much easier to go viral. They're talentless attention seekers. Jelly Roll is probably the biggest example of this. Was doing unrionic hick-hop in the late aughts, now all of a sudden he's the exact opposite of the person he used to be? yeah right lmao. I'm sure the money had nothing to do with that.
I been waiting for “Country rap tunes” -Pimp C
Post Malone has never been a rapper. We got to stop saying this
Glad you said Missy Elliot is is from the south. This is a fact. Virginia is the south.
Jason Aldean actually covered "Dirt Road Anthem" the original is by Colt Ford who was arguably a pioneer in the country rap genre. Also Boondox (juggalo rapper) has been doing southern country rap for over a decade now too
Good content but the mixing is pretty bad. The songs are way too loud
Shaboozey was in a rap group in VA until they all moved. One of them was WaveIQ who has produced for some of the biggest rap artists the last few years
Yelawolf was the only one who did a great job, mixed rap and country
Fr underrated comment. Ppl in hip hop hated on Yelawolf & the internet as a whole would clown him lol but he did it very well.
Currently I’d say Jellyroll blends pretty well.
Big Krit can do it well too
Upchurch as well
keep up w these quality videos brotha
Funny how they dont call it "culture vulture" when black people make country music thats predominantetly white, its almost like music is supposed to bridge cultures like a universal language to be shared by all people intsead of being gate kept as a racial divide. This is why i hate "culture vulture" as a term.
You must not be reading country forums or following people’s feed back on this rap country. Country friends hate it, not only most country these days. But especially rap country. They don’t think it is authentic country music.
Also Shaboozey is dope. His first country album is in my constant rotation. Cowboys Live Forever 🤠
Post Malone in the thumbnail is misleading, I don’t think he was ever a “Rapper” he was more R&B, Indie Pop with Hip-Hop notes
Post used rap to get popular similar to the racist that is kid rock same bird different time
@@imanigordon6803nah bro just did what he wanted .
Y’all just hating
@@vincentopperman1420everything is racist now apparently 😂
I've always been a country music fan, but more traditional country. I'm not a huge fan of newer country apart from a few like Sturgill Simpson, Zach Top, Whiskey Meyers. I don't exactly hate on popular country, but it doesn't resonate the same way as more traditional does to me. I'm glad to see my favorite genre is growing in popularity. :)
Posty isn’t a rapper, get him off the TB bro
He was a rapper, and he made some bangers, and his country still good. His songs don’t age
@@iglasap.wgameplayidk about that , he’s mid
@@iglasap.wgameplaysaying Post Malones songs don’t age is just wild to say💀
@@iglasap.wgameplay post was never a rapper. Non of the music he has dropped has been in the right tempo to be a rap song. The songs arnt even structured to be a rap. The way its written isnt a rap song. This is why he got hate from the jump because he was labeled a rapper but wasnt rapping, ever. This is also why hip hop is a confusing genre. People that seem to be at the top of the game aint even rapping no more but are setting the bar for what a rap should sound like. Most people that are hip hop fans today arnt hip hop fans, they are pop fans and rather listen to post malone than rakim.
@@taylorcliff6609wut you trippin
Upchurch been doing this for a good while we call it hick-hop
the audio mixing in this video is terrible. Why are all the songs so UNGODLY LOUD im just trying to watch this video then all these songs suddenly blare
someone forgot to pay attention to the db’s. lol
I listen to EVERYTHING to include Country, Jazz and Classical. Music is so beautiful! If anyone cares heres a few songs One by Metallica, No Me Queda Mas by Selena, Take Care by Drake, Cigarette Daydreams by Cage The Elephant, Here Comes My Girl by Tom Petty, We Belong Together by Ritchie Valens, Boy by Lee Brice, Cello Suite 1 performed by Yo Yo Ma.
Why do people find rappers so “cool & influential?” I’ve been into country music for years, It’s always positive. I can only listen to music about sex, killing & drugs for so long. If you were raised in the suburbs no matter where you’re at you can relate to country music…
....expand your search on hip hop, then you'll see.
It's because country is the only thing that hasn't been totally destroyed by sex drugs and violence. The music industry milked rap for all that it was worth and pushed it as extreme as it will go, now its onto its next victim.
a guy named jelly roll just started showing up on my recommended and they were all songs featuring him, so i blame him for all of this
Ragebait title: Why are rappers are invading country music?
Clickbait title: Rappers are now country stars!
Realistic title: Why are rappers experimenting with country music?
It’s not just rap delving into country. Pop punk/post hardcore bands/singers are doing it too…Check out Bilmuri…he used to be a singer in one of my favorite screamo bands ( attack attack) bands and now he makes country pop lol
Anyone from MI who's been to the South knows we're just as podunk up here as they are down there. The common denominator here is the limited number of people at the bottom of the bell curve; these two genre's customers. There's only so many of them to extract wealth upward from, so poaching each other's marks was bound to happen.
Bonnaroo Music and arts festival does a pretty unique job of mixing genres and bringing different types of fans together for a weekend. You should go one year Patrick, you'd love it.
Video idea cover hick hop / upchurch / independent artist
Around 2000 I was a big kid rock fan and my dad was stuck in the 80s then weirdly I got burnt out on KR and now his music is some of my old man’s fave artist. Weird how that works
The very first successful merger of country and hip hop was Bubba Sparxx’s Deliverance album. Produced entirely by Timbaland. It wasn’t a commercial hit but is the only album that connected the 2 genres.
Of course it’s timbaland again!
Country Road...Take Me Home
I finished this video as I got to Walmart, and both cruise and Texas hold ‘em played in my 20 min visit wtf
Great breakdown
Ok how are you not gonna bring up jelly roll, upchurch, struggle Jennings, the lacs colt ford even wrote dirt road anthem with Brantley Gilbert and they have 2 versions before Jason Alden even cut the song
Exactly
It’s just easier for them to get into Spotify playlists that’s why they do it
I grew up in a country household. The first major current (at the time like 10 years ago) rap country crossover i remember was colt ford. Got ppl who never gave q shit about rap bumping his shit (my dad)
It's the trendy sound of the moment, that's why. It's dominating everything in the same way that trap dominated everything in 2018. Billboard is even letting country artists chart on the rock/alternative airplay list now for some reason.
I used to think that you couldn’t mix trap and metal until I saw a Zillakami music video that was so wild that I didn’t think it was possible, especially when there’s a kid holding an AK-47 and a guy shooting up heroin as well as MF’s smoking sherm among other shit! I love the fusion of music genres but it has to be done right for me!
Outlaw Country was the original Punk Scene
Tempo, tone, key, all of which are specific to country and genres in general. Most country is in 140-160(most) and rap varies depending on the era. So, originally it was a soft 140 but now its standard to be 180. Tone also make a difference cause country often has guitars mixed with a ton of reverb and mid to high ranges boosted, where as any guitar in a rap song is typically "overproduced" to blend with the drums. The bass also is very distinct where rap takes from old school blues artists that have a "thick" bassline that often blends into the kick drum where country has more of a lighter tone. The bass is often, in country, played to accent guitar notes and fill gaps between the guitar and drums. Vocals are very different as well, rap takes a more "poet that talks fast" approach where country is clearly singing. Even if the artist does a "rap sing" it is still in that basic sped up tone that while no matter how much "rap-like" a country artist sings, youll still hear distinct notes, crescendo de crescendo and tonal variations. Thats the main differences since alot of people get confused as to why shaboozy is technically country where as that lilnas song is a "country influenced" song. Lilnas's song mimicks more RnB/country mix than hiphop/country mix but still.
Dont take it as a stance since i love both and will listen to luke combs and then blast Nas and end on periphery. I love all music
Bro the jumpscares got me more than once lol
