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!!

"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.

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

*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 💓

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.

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

so fine. he looks better now than in his Achey Breakey heart days.

@@kofoblue3172 he's a man now. Ya know?

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.

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 RU-vid 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

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.

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

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...……...

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

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

Same God that just let a few hundred people die in the Sudan?

@@furyofthefilmfan lol

@@furyofthefilmfan rip tho

@@furyofthefilmfan there is a reason why allah let some plle die from here to there you need to think

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.

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. 😂

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.

*ANYBODY can be an entertainer today*

No he dont

Hows does he deserved it. You sound dumb.

@@gamerannihilationer6452 cuz hes a 20 year old punk that is clearly getting famous off of trollin white people. Also originally i posted that comment cuz the broad said he deserved it like hes been in the music industry for years, hustling trying to get that one break through hit. Now you tell me why he does deserve it.....

why bring race up

a dude because there’s no way you can make a hit without selling your soul especially when it’s out of no where

THEY TRYING TO STEAL HIP HOP AS WELL!.. SMDH BLCK PPL STARTED COUNTRY AND ROCK TOO!

@@boxgaming281 yeah that's true but this old town road is not country is trap or rap it doesn't really sound like a country song it's trash but if everyone likes trash ass music these days

@Joey Harper who was it from

@Joey Harper rock was started by black artists back when white radio stations use to refer to it as " race music" , but the black artist who originated it called it Rock and Roll. Chuck Berry and Little Richard are a couple of the originators.

Great point...

bone thugs & Harmony

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

Facts

Fugees “Cowboys” owns them all

All those people were already famous though. Lil Nas X was not

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

Facts🌚

LOL he’s literally pretending to be straight so that people can relate to him. how exactly is he “being himself” 😂

Well said.

TAYLOR SCOTT tf you mean

Good luck to him. Hope his career can be successful..✌

...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

and guess who taught that Po'boy jus'sayin how 2 dance? This royal Prince has had many many lovin' mama's!!

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

My name is Aminé that’s a hit ? 🤣 my country is at its corniest peak ever i swear !

robert bogert yeah, when a song does a BILLION streams, I think that qualifies as a hit 😅

I've been saying, people acting like black people in the country scene is a totally shocking new thing. It's not. Black people have their print on the origins of American music, especially blues and folk. People are just ignorant af.

@@aaronsura1265 do you know that black people where the once who sold other black people as slaves to the US

why? because he made a song mocking country music and hes black? why not root for any kid with more talent doing the same thing, BUT not mocking country music?

@Lillel i love me the whole 1611kjv & accepted every single scripts from 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:

@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.
