The lesson here is: when you try to stop someone, you’re actually blessing them 100x more
*You're talking to a blow up doll*
I wish someone would try to stop me.
Yup. No weapon shall prosper
This is very true!!!
Kevwe Tony Girl: Says something wise and meaningful
Man: goddamn girl you fine asf😍😍😩😫😨😋😛🤪😜😝😫🤯😱😨🤤🤤😍😘😚😗😙😋😋‼️‼️
Billy is smart man he saw a golden opportunity and capitalizes on it quick.
Lewis Powell Billy crashed it! He seen that bread and jumped on it.
Lol right
1 billion streams, wtf damn
Smart move who wouldn't ?
@@momosrighthorn for real he said he reached out to lil nas. I'm agreeing with you
Awhh Billy Ray is so cute “I’m 57 years old and never thought I’d feel anything like this again”
so fine. he looks better now than in his Achey Breakey heart days.
@@kofoblue3172 he's a man now. Ya know?
I cry tears of Joy to see Lil Nas winning, overcoming adversity, setting goals and achieving them.
what adversity?
@@operatoncreation6396the definition of adversity is difficulties, misfortune. The County bill board removed his song from #1 spot when they found out he was black. Imagine working hard and finally you feel accomplished especially as an independent artist got a #1 they outright showed him disrespect and as a young black man it was very difficult for him initially. But you see what happen God don't like ugly he was blessed even more after that.
@@masonpatrices Nobody removed his song because he was black.
No cursing, no disrespecting women, no disrespectful lyrics....I LOVE IT!!!
You know..I didn't even realize that but you're 100% right!
Dianna Harrieth he said “boobies” too
Lean all up in my bladder.......
Broly Rage's hes actually talking about rap today. thats all they flaunt about
@@brolyrages4279 Broly your opinion is just that....YOUR OPINION! GET OFF OF MY POST, WITH THE IDIOTIC COMMENTS!!
You know whats refreshing👇.
1. A song not demeaning to women.
2. Resinates across all aspects of music.
3. A Person Humbled by his exsperience.
Thats American.
"bull riden and boobies
"cheated on my baby you can go and ask her"
*resonates... (Just saying)
Thank You!!! Poor Americans want to stay divided. 🌈🤘🏽🌟❤️
Also the fact that Billy saw Nas being snubbed by Billboard and he used his experience and platform to make him even bigger, yeah that's some wholesome shit
Dont disrespect people who love drugs,money & women. You dont define what an American has to be. To be American is to be whoever you want.
1. He is cute. 2. The song is not vulgar. 3. The song does not irritate. 4. The kids love it. 5. He is black, who cares? 6. Dressed like an old time fancy cowboy :) Actually, I hope he does well. :)
*He looks ridiculous*
I mean he does say Boobies lol
Tonybassist123 boobies isn’t vulgar 🙄
@@SUGAR_XYLER and yet he is more successful than you. Jealously is a hell of a drug
Yeah 💓
$30 beat is now worth millions...
By the time he dies. Itll be worth hundred of millions!
FACTS!!!! Preach sister preach!
It just had to get into the right hands.
@Mabel Mgbodile bruhhh.....
Kelly B this is 1 amazing investment I never seen 👍🏽👏🏽
"if country music fans dig it then its country" Nothing more to say
In the 1970's Olivia Newton John who is from Australia had Country music hits and she was not well received by the Country Music society.

Best 30 dollars spent all year.
Kurt OFiveOne real talk
👍
💯💯💯💯
You the fuck right
i knoooo riigggggghhhhttttttt!!!!
I am glad people still making something out of almost nothing ,, inspiration all day with this dudes story
Can’t help but root for this guy to keep succeeding.
Maria Freeman true but wouldn’t this be considered culture oppression?
I don’t understand how this would be cultural oppression.
Him talking about the country life style with the country themed beat
I don’t believe that is cultural oppression.
Maria Freeman what is then? White people get told their culture oppression by just rapping I mean shouldn’t everyone be held to the same standard
That Guy That Sold him that Beat For $30 is like WTF Did i just Do lol
Thankfully, he still gets a cut in all the sales. A lot of the contracts that come with selling beats make sure the producers don't get screwed over. $30 was just the initial price🙏👀
undead504 he actually had him in the old town road ved have have him working with big artists now so they basically friends now
Lol
@@jinksbosswicks8371 that's kool
Listen to 34 Ghosts IV from Nine Inch Nails, it's the original.
Man I hope he's not a one hit wonder. I pray he keeps making more hits
Lookup his remix too lil yachty and nba youngboys i cant remember name to either lol but its only ft i think nba an yachty got
True but I have faith in him hes talented
he's already teased a song called panini that seems like its gonna be a hit obviously not at the same level but will be a hit imo
@Micho Rizo said the man with a snitch as his profile pic
So do I. I hope people don't expect Old Town Road Part 2, 3, 4, 5...……...
Self made at 20yrs..
That’s just freakin Awesome!
Chelsea Bella Gallo this is the generation of self made young people in the music industry
And only for 30 dollars
Chelsea Bella Gallo he sold his soul
htwo 0 Some people have to win the lottery. Just like the IRS the music industry takes half your winnings and a bit of your soul. You think these Wrangler sponsorships and having it in the Rambo trailer just happens naturally? He got scooped up by Columbia records and forced into a 360 deal. Probably convinced they he’s a one hit wonder. You never sign after one hit. He could have made more money with his own independent management. Sad.... they’re going to bleed him dry and he’ll be happy as long as he gets a bit of chump change because he was broke before. That’s how they take advantage.
It's not actually
Give Little Nas x all the Grammy award for 2020 he wrote the biggest song of the century because the song has no negative or vulgal words. Love from Europe
It’s not the biggest song of the century
@@elvyncordero8050 it is
Blessings 777 777 Lol how
@@elvyncordero8050 The song has no vulgar words and it's a hit.
So many of those other artist can't sing a song without using vulgar words.
Blessings 777 777 That’s doesn’t make it the biggest song of the century it was only number one worldwide for 12 weeks. Compare that to Despacito 17 weeks at number one on the worldwide charts
Paid $30 for the beat? Smfh this guy is a genius!
Bet that dude is pissed who he bought it from 😂
Learn what royalties are people.
@@axunhillokk he paid for the beat its his now he wouldnt have to pay royalties dumbass he would have to pay royalties if it was the dudes beat still and he said nas u can use it but its still my beat
Ax' The God!!! Producers don’t automatically get royalties especially these RUclips producers lol they better have had a contract with everything in it about royalties cuz if not he ain’t getting shit 🤷🏾♂️
THE CHILL PILL. kio has no reason to be pissed, lil nas is sharing the sales with him
Shout out to Billy Ray Cyrus for reaching out.
Lil Nas X's team reached out to Billy Ray Cyrus.
Imagine being remembered for such a god awful song like this, I'm sure the money helps but the shame? How could you look your mother in the eye again after knowing full well you are responsible for producing slop like that.. it's unfathomable.
And the color of his skin didn't get him there, his talent did. 💯
Oh but it did. The controversy surrounding the track and everything that comes with it propelled him immensely. If this were a white kid, the song would never have gotten banned from country charts this prompting Billy to get involved. Basically this is the first time bigotry created a megastar
Damé Dinero and hes gay so he will be on top for a while
Lmao.. you call that talent
teebz R it's more than any of you will ever do. 😂
teebz R what can you do
I smile every time I see/hear the story behind this success...

I’m so happy for him. When I got to the part about him never performing live and then killing it at Stagecoach I got chills. This story warms my heart.

Fury of the Film Fan , God didn’t kill those people, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE. Everything in our lives is controlled by Gods will for it . He gave us ONE thing that we control ourselves , FREE WILL . Each human has the choice to be evil or good . Your argument is old and weak and can be explained threw knowledge . Read , take the time to ask questions as you just did , have a growth mindset.
Bro this guy is killing shit and everybody is mad.. People are always gonna hate on positivity and someone who has a big heart in this world... Such a greatful guy.. Keep doing you man 🔥
What's making everyone "mad" is the fact that it's being pawned off as a "country music" song! THIS SHIT IS AS COUNTRY AS FUCKING TUPAC OR SIR MIX A LOT! Country-ish lyrics a county song does not make, the fact that it's rap doesn't even make it a "song" in the first place, and the fact that this urbanite candy ass boy is wearing a Stetson does not make him country either. He wants to -sing- rap? GREAT! He can -sing- rap it somewhere other than the country music charts. In Rome, you do as the Roman's do; not what the Gauls, Celts or Visigoths or any other enemy of Rome do; or you'll get just as much hate as he's getting now from fans of REAL country music.
@@angelus_solus your racism is showing urbanite boy? he's from Atlanta, georgia so he is country and the song is a country song stay bitter and miserable

Hahahahaaaaa
You made History, NasX.
What History????
Joey Harper no I’m pretty sure people just enjoyed the song that’s why it went number one. Doubt they listened cause he’s black #sorrynotsorry
Tobias Orion | rFitz The only history he made is putting two genres that don't go together into a shit song.
danny baughndinibald and you just attracted some of the mad white boys lmao
He sure did.
Couldnt have happened to a nicer guy! Thanks Billy Ray for the hand helping him!
...did you not hear what Billy said...smh. he knew he this was big and special. that's why he did it. he knew it was the future
Bailey Rae is an idiot, country is dead, why sit around and listen to non counted so-called people that just makes a bunch of noise why I can just listen to talented bands like Iron Maiden
it's Daniel Wilson. OKAY!!! Bruh shut up we don’t wanna listen to ur Iron Maiden shit ffs
@@arandommetalheadontheinter6249 For your information, Billy Ray was actually one of the original members of Iron Maiden. The song METAL HAMMER was the reason for him leaving. He wanted to call the song METAL TOOTHPICK.
@@vitoferrara5876 nice to hear that but I still think the song called Old Town Road sucks
He brought Billy cyrus back to life
What i don't understand is black people created country music but we're getting kicked off our own sht. They took it over like they started this sht.

I love how Billy Ray is giving off that "yall forgot about who I was because of Miley huh?" vibe!😁
I am sooo proud of this young man.Coming from college drop out,on his sisters couch.I hope he can keep up his popularity. Country has changed and that's cool.My sons are really into creating music.This is inspiring. Thanks to Billy Cyrus for standing up for him and I'm so glad the pop-r&b community is more excepting.That is sad they tried to count him out.
The 1st time I heard Old Town Road was at Stagecoach. Everyone went crazy. They had more energy then the mane stage headliners...
yesss that Diplo set was wild

Is this old town road song going to be like despacito first people liked it and months ago they hate it

2 Esdras 9:2-12
[2]Then shalt thou understand, that it is the very same time, wherein the Highest will begin to visit the world which he made.
[3]Therefore when there shall be seen earthquakes and uproars of the people in the world:
[4]Then shalt thou well understand, that the most High spake of those things from the days that were before thee, even from the beginning.
[5]For like as all that is made in the world hath a beginning and an end, and the end is manifest:
[6]Even so the times also of the Highest have plain beginnings in wonder and powerful works, and endings in effects and signs.
[7]And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to escape by his works, and by faith, whereby ye have believed,
[8]Shall be preserved from the said perils, and shall see my salvation in my land, and within my borders: for I have sanctified them for me from the beginning.
[9]Then shall they be in pitiful case, which now have abused my ways: and they that have cast them away despitefully shall dwell in torments.
[10]For such as in their life have received benefits, and have not known me;
[11]And they that have loathed my law, while they had yet liberty, and, when as yet place of repentance was open unto them, understood not, but despised it;
[12]The same must know it after death by pain.
@Lillel Isaiah 8:20
[20]To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
John 3:19-21
[19]And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
[20]For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
[21]But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Light = Psalms 119:105
[105]NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Proverbs 6:23
[23]For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

Better than all these mumble real real rappers... Good work
He seems like such a sweet person! I love his cowboy hat. 🤠 Old Town Road is catchy and I think it is super creative for being rap/country hybrid. Nobody else was doing it! So major props to him for being original.
It's been done a few times before, maybe even before he was born.
It's actually being done by a lotttt of people
THANK YOU BILLY RAY FOR STANDING BY HIM.

I love everything about this story. This is a young kid that didn't sit on the couch and play video games. He had a dream, he got a hold of that dream and he dragged that dream to the Finish Line. We should all be proud of him no matter what color he is. And I think this is as country as a country song can be and good for Billy Ray Cyrus to agree with that and jump in to help this young man push it even further. What a great story of perseverance and not giving up. Much success to this young man!
Keep going young brother. Much respect Billy Ray.
Way to go! Reminds me of this quote by Milton Berle- "If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door." Awesome job!
HE PAYED $30 FOR THE BEAT LOL WOW the person who sold it must be so mad 😭
Also, the beat was made from a beat in a Nine Inch Nails song. Highly recommend the NYT breakdown of the song. It's really interesting! When they said the part about NIN I was like, "ohhhh that's partly why I like this sound so much" lol
The producer is YoungKio, he’s the same age as Nas, and got signed with a label as a result of being credited. I think I spotted him in the video!
the dude is a famous producer now Nas gave him his credit
Or he is so proud that he made history with that beat

Regardless he’s made millions off this, if he doesn’t blow his money. He’s already set for life
He will definitely only be a 1 hit wonder the song is to big I wish him the best but I don’t see him being able to do it agaib

New Genre ... Country Hip hop!
It has a name Country + RAP = CRAP
@DealBreakerz are you really about to say that Rhythm and Poetry isn't a genre? Cause that sounds hella dumb.
@DealBreakerz Are you daft? And yes that would make rap a genre. It being separate from singing and the such makes it a genre it sets it apart.
@DealBreakerz actually im fairly certain it is a genre, because saying hip hop is an umbrella term, its kinda like saying "Indian music" for every type of song from India even though they have many genres in that.
are you saying hip hop cause he is black? Because I don't hear any hip hop in the song tbh
My daughter is 17 and got me hooked on this song and I read about lil Nas x All I can say is I’m team LIL NAS X.
I hope nothing but success for this man right here.
I like this song, this is my first time hearing it, usually have to get used to a new song.. nice country beat too!
I’m not into hip-hop music but this is awesome. Catchy tune. Nice to hear something besides “Cardi B” when I go have a beer in a bar.
They're just mad because country music was the one genre they really had left to call their own and now that's about to be threatened, lol.
Country is actually black created, look it up... it's not theirs.
Yes, Look it up blacks created country music.
@@annoyingasshole3324 I didn't say they created it. It's good to see a young black man from this generation stepping off the beaten path.
