Rap in Country

[Hurdy Gurdy Man]

Indeed,rap is in a world of its own,totally separate from any other genre.The big question in my head concerning mixing it with other modes of expression is........is rap even music?Lotta rythym,but at least for the most part no melodies other than ones they "sample"........

If somebody once is able to create a country and rap music which matches he would deserve the nobel prize of music of the millenium

Willie Nelson wrote a song called Superman. He collaborated with his pot smokin buddy, Snoop Dog. It's bluesy and not bad at all....


Believe it or not, a lot of these country guys have great respect for Snoop Dog.

Florida Georgia Line did a song with Nelly that is actually country rap.......and it's worthy of a listen

Tammy Wynette did a hip hop song in the early 1990's. The country industry was in shock?

One of our local sports shops sells hoodies, etc that says "hick life" on them. Trust me, this genre is big around these parts. We went to a truck/ tractor pull last summer that was blasting hick - hop on the speakers. These songs rap about big tires, mud, beer, and of course....women. Damnedest thing I've ever heard.....

As far as blending genres I much prefer how Sturgill blended some Funk and Soul into his music. In Northern NH we have a weird blend of hicks and hipster that form the hybrid of hickster. I've found with anyone that listens to Hick-Hop it's the beginning of a trend where we won't agree on anything period. Coincidence? I don't know!
