"Are “we” really supposed to be team Lil Nas X because ..."


  

          

This song is trash. He’s the Rachel Dolezal of country music.
You can’t put on a “country” accent on top of a trap beat and call it country.

Taylor Swift's "Never Getting Back Together" topped the Billboard Country Charts for weeks, but this isn't country enough to get on there. Cmon

White people consume black content at gross rates
This non banger bangs to them and they enjoy it (https://twitter.com/iadosm/status/1112676763103125506?s=21)

It could be parody it could be sincere but ultimately it’s trash.

In response to Reply # 0


          


though *shrug*

Is this Lil Nas X's whole sound, or just a one off that he did??

It serves its purpose as a fusion experiment, I guess. Plus, I really like when artists think outside the box and collaborate across genre, generation, etc so his working with Billy Ray Cyrus is different in a good way to me.

I've read all the takes in here, but personally... I think I'd side with Lil Nas X bc it seems the Billboard issue is driven largely by racism (i.e. I believe the same song would have remained on the chart were it solely by a white country artist).

It's weird how emphasis is placed on Lil Nas X's identity as a rap artist and not the country elements of the song, though... Like, if Andrea Bocelli sang an r & b song in his opera voice (say, complete with typical r & b beat/instrumentation, style & structure, bridge, theme, etc.)... should it be classified as an r & b song? Or an opera song? I would think such a song should count as r & b; but it seems the counterargument would be well he's an opera singer and he's singing in an operatic voice so it's an opera song, regardless of the clear r & b elements.

In Lil Nas X's song, the trap element is strong but it still sounds like a country song to me. I feel like the song would play better to a crowd on a country club's dancefloor than a hood club's dancefloor *shrug*

it doesn't sound anything like OTR to me.

there's a lotta overthinking in this post. The vibe I get from him is he likes making music and he was just tryin shxt to see what would work. I don't see him being loyal to any particular genre, and the conversation surrounding the joint is kinda funny.

It's really just a spectacle. his 15 minutes been up, he on O/T

It's mixed much better. X's vocals are louder in the chorus.

Country music needs to stop biting off hip-hop. Ain't nobody got time for your bum ass Ford, your trophy wife, your guns, your fake army worship, your bum ass playing operator, your trash ass farm, your worship of beer, whiskey, and tractors.

For fuck's sake can Country music please promote a black singer? I'm tired of all the female singers being blonde trophy wives.

68. "It's not just a country accent"
In response to Reply # 0


          


>You can’t put on a “country” accent on top of a trap
>beat and call it country.

it's a pretty effective country-accented sample with the plunky sparse banjo and a little fiddle
the content is country to the point of potentially being taken for parody (i can't tell)
the attitude is country (though not just country)

As a genre mashup, it's relatively effective and I can see why it's a hit on country radio esp. in light of recent sonic shifts in 'white' pop country.

Makes me wonder if Deliverance would be a country hit today.

I never really listened to those Ghosts projects anyway, the producer HAD to have come across that on a library shuffle or some shit lol.


Some extra good schadenfreude having Ross and Reznor in the liner notes of the summer's hottest gimmick rap record.

Looking back at this post it seems overwrought.

It's a joke song at the expense of the white country music purist who can't abide from a lil black boy dominating their genre...and we mad for them.

My kids love it the way they loved Gangum Style. Let them have it and enjoy the white folks being mad.

Meanwhile this panini joint is the one for the culture.

"Panini" is like a almost-there competitor with Roddy Ricch's "Project Dreams" for the crown right now. The first time I heard Roddy's song I was like, "what is this fusion of Bad Boy faux-gangster fantasy and Yellowcard one-off pop ecstasy?"

..to both songs.

It should be obvious, but in case you missed it: when Timberlake & Timbaland released the song in 2002 it was a hit, right out the gate. Since then, its been ranked highly on several critics lists as one of the best songs of all time (not saying that I agree, but that shouldn't be ignored).

NIN doubled down on that in 2008 with 34 Ghost IV.

Lil' Nas X is following a proven formula with some added drums & lows and its working.

That's a win for everyone.

..I'm referencing the formula used for it.

Ihe chord structure, pacing, rhythm, etc.

It was almost guaranteed to win.

I find it funny that people front on something so simple.

I think most people IF they have an issue is with the top line...

But even the top line is catchy so I also dont know how they can front...

Dude fluked on a well crafted pop cut... strong hook, strong pre chorus, catchy lines and short like a motown smash

Of course a Black Marvel Movie will be huge. Of course a Black Horror Movie will blow up.

Of Course, Diddy Flipping the Juicy Beat with Biggie would be huge.


That's how tapping into the zeitgeist works.

But if it were all so simple, every hack would be doing it.

dude was drifting around couches and now he's huge all over the world. he's got flash in the fucking pan written all over him but the song is so big that he might carry his 15 minutes into 30 or more. talent wise i think he makes trinidad james look like ray fucking charles, but whatever, if people like him, good for him. great rags to riches story.

In response to Reply # 0


          

because usually folks get that one hit then try and make the same song twice
or try and show everybody their ACTUAL music

he's done the latter, but the whole ep shows a decent range i wasn't really expecting and packaged in a way that actually looks like HIS vision instead of a label. Son really has legit been on stay-ready mode.

Its not all my cup of tea but, i respect him for showing a level of confidence with the spotlight on.
