Don't get me wrong I like rap I like R&B but we don't have to have a million R&B stations and rap stations with their own station on there I like country the way it is there's some newer Generations that's ruining our country music and some of them are not but I like the original country music always have since I was 7 years old now I'm 34 and people are ruining it was R&B crap I like that music just not on the same station as country and we do not need more rap stations or whatever you want to call it but dude we do not need any more R&B and rap stations we need more country stations because we got two conversations that are good got a five rap stations in my two R&B stations we don't have that many country music stations we only have two leave it the way it is original damn I love R&B I love rap but not on the same station as country good grief so stop messing with the country station and if you want to listen to R&B and rap go to that station I love all those meetings together but not on the one station I always listen to if I want some rap I'll go to the rap station or the R&B station they're all on rap music it's cute when sometimes there's one less than music that doesn't f****** hurt my eardrums and nobody has to comment on it they just if you don't like my comment don't say anything cuz I really don't care I'm tired of people ruining my stuff my favorite music it helped me while I'm 7 years old and being a bullied by kids in school and you guys are r the new generation is ruining the country station not all of them but some of them are like to sell outs

Dang city slickers ruin everything. 🤦

MY gawd drop the mic. Just walk off

That’s not what it is but ok 👌

Your talking about lil nas x and stuff. Nothing to do with country cast

@Dakota Farmer No I'm not, I'm talking all country rap music artists.

@@Mario_Gillette some times people argue just to argue. Some times you have to let people just say whatever .

It's not a good look to be a critic if you are a musician. Especially with hate instead of constructive criticism. Saying rap is crap is a slap in the face to Jelly. His music is helping more people every day. And for travis to say that is just pure hate.

Thanks for your continues love❤️ and support,that’s what keeps me going How long have you been a fan of mine?

Say what you want chris but atleast country music fans can understand everything in a country song. You can’t understand anything in rap it’s all hot garbage to me and atleast country music tells a story in just about every song you listen to. All you ever hear in rap is drugs, sex and violence you will never hear anything like that in real country music. You and others like you can keep this so called “country” i’ll just keep listening to the classics. Good day!

@@chrisyeary5082 Travis Tritt wasn't hateful it's just this woke generation getting easily offended

​@@aprilgosa5779..... That's the problems, the damn woke generation .........

Chris STAPLETON is traditional id even he has blue grass tendencies country isn't dead. rockabilly didn't kill. it. billy ray or Rascal flats , carrie Underwood ... either will Hardy or jelly Roll.... Tyler childers... BILLY Sthings . i love them all.... they make me feel.

So well said! 💯 ✔️💛

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Couldn't have said it any better I feel the same way! 👍👍 If Jelly Roll wants to do his music thats fine but it's not country and it needs to called what it is RAP and not called country music because it's not!!😢

@@toniadugger3954 Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson and Billy Strings. Those are the people keeping country music alive. The problem is with all of the stuff that the radio plays. It’s all pop country like Tritt was saying. The non mainstream stuff is actually really good

So Travis Tritt recording "Take It Easy", is ok and doesn't complain about Robert Ritchie and Hank Jr blending music, Please where is the steel guitar?

Basically you are correct. But the problem is that the country business is corrupted and governed by those who exploit it's name with pop songs to just maximize their profits. And that this music is identified as country by a growing mass.

It's kinda like being able to see between heirloom or GMO music. Seems to me, the twisting of the two styles changes the runs from parallel lines into a spiral curve spiral. What do you think?

Actually all the music is connected, no music just evolved… rap, jazz, bluegrass are all intertwined.

@ronwatson4135 you're exactly right, I was raised in Texas and the country music then was old school! Marty Robbins, Ray Price, and ALL of the other greats.I've played the bass for 56 years, music has evolved like society and technology, everyone has different likes and dislikes, go with whatever makes YOU happy? God Bless America 😉🤗👍💪😎🇺🇸🙏

@@roytsusui1761 my dad was a Texas country music artist when the outlaw movement started. he played shows with Ernest Tubb, Cal smith, johnny Russell just to name a few, and toured in pee wee king's old bus.

Right, but he can't show grace for some reason he thinks it's OK for him to do, shut the door behind him and nobody else can. There's alot of that all over right now. Direct product of do as I say not as I do parenting. Itll phase out lol!

Stop lying. That never happened. Why do people get online and lie? Like for what?

For the love of Jenny

@Jenny Rebecca nobodys lying quit whining. He didn't fit the mold on the first album. He wasn't truly popular until his 2nd and even then it wasn't considered real country. It was pop country that if you go back now and try to listen to, sucks real bad. He knows it. That's why he's grasping at drama with others in a last ditch effort to gain relevancy.

Travis even did a song for Duane Allman, and no one considers him country.

preach it as you are so on point

🙌🙌🙌AMEN

Jelly roll has not and will not ever be anything country related

And that is why it’s dying for example rap has so many genres drill,lyrical, trap, comedy rap and hype rap and wat does country stick to……. Y’all just need to create something original instead of copying btw that literally wat country music is , it’s like ya cowboys lol😂 bunch of bandwagoners

@brethereneluck301 Well classic country is about roots of real life how life was back in the day& cowboy & all that is better then raping about drugs getting laid & nonsense it had no feeling. Country music you can feel it & relate to a realistic story of things that happen in life. Most rap artists & people who listen to it tells you alot especially if they don't like country especially classic country because people who don't like country definitely aren't with God or Jesus especially listening to that devil angry rap I heard & other rap of drugs & sex. To each their own I say but I find more people listening to classic old school country to classic rock or classic anything really then rap these days. Especially when most of us got no memories with pointless stories with music based on sex& drugs. Country is about family & God & real life experiences that's why some don't like it there's truth in it.

​@@drfeelgoods30 Jelly rolls songs are literally about life! Life isn't cowboys and rainbows for everyone.. no disrespect meant, however,many people can relate to the lyrics in jelly's songs ,I am in recovery and I know many that jelly's songs have helped. These people realize that they're not alone and some even get clean !! I just say LIVE AND LET LIVE! BTW wasn't Dolly just inducted into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME🤔 I love Dolly,but I wouldn't exactly call her music Rock and Roll, ☮️

Well classic country has so much meaning to it as well & is casual they kept it real they sang about friends family & everything. Loretta was the first woman to put out in her music about woman's rights& speak of abuse so it wasn't all rainbows you obviously don't know old school country that well if you think it was all rainbows I was country when country wasn't cool. I noticed not many listened to country back in the day because they didn't like the steel guitar & the talk about God in the music it wasn't till it had that rap pop crap that people actually liked it or where so in& for it. If one likes rap I believe they should listen to the rap channel or the pop channel if they want pop country seems to have changed for the wrong reasons because of that some music just doesn't go good together like rap& pop in country. Country & blues & blue grass & a little rock actually go hand in hand together. If they brought back the steel guitar nobody that didn't like country then wouldn't listen to it. The few artists like George Strait still use the steel guitar I love all the artists that don't feel the need to change their music for nobody they write new songs sing them& still have a amazing fan base like George Strait& Reba & many others. God is coming back & alot of these great artists are making Christian music I think that's awesome& least if their making Christian music there's hope to get that crap out of the country music for those who don't like the classic music. I love all the artists like Chris Stapleton all that keep it real& least we got new one's who grew up& the good stuff. I got nothing against those who suffer depression or metal illness I support it all the way& pray for those who struggle with it. But they don't have to rap their way threw music in country that's for sure. They want that get a rap contract or a pop contract Taylor Swift did because of her style of music if jelly rolls music is as good as you claim he would have no problem getting a rap contract.

@@drfeelgoods30 bruh literally country music was stolen for white people it started out with African Americans then turned to shiet….. they’re literally country songs singing about hanging people… atleast rap is based around they’re surroundings, were ur country music is based on finding someone to hate……….country started out great then obviously when it got colonised shiet 💩 like when ur cowboys from then saw how Mexicans dressed and decided to copy it………….. u Americans really are the same with uk and India jst steal everything …………and if one likes that genre learn where tf it came from

amen to that!!!

They sure were fans of John Michael amontgomery who was doing rap in country back in the 90s. One of the biggest hits aof that time was a country RAP called “Sold”. Remember that ?!

@@btnhstillfire that's not rap if you're going to say that than Hank Snow was rapping in I've been Everywhere

@@btnhstillfire John Michael montgomery was mixing auctioneering and country music not rap and country music,,

@@joelperry9380 Just like that idiot Colt Ford that you don't hear anything about anymore !!

Jellie row • Who is she?

AMEN!

Amen

I AGREE,and that's why there is so many buttons on my radio,and notice how you have to change stations so often,cause they are trying their damnedest to get you spoon fed on other crap,they'll play 2 or 3 good tunes then here comes the programming,thank god for CD players multiple disc's,BUT i'm a charlie pride,haggart,george jones,marty robbins,johnny paycheck,clint black and then the country singer of the galaxy,george strait,someone can listen to the other stuff

​@@RonaldEarlWilsher I don't know but they'll let anybody on the Opry anymore

Its country.

Was “Sold” by JMM not country? Thats country rap from the fn 90s. Straight up country classic and its considered rapping. Call it it what it is huh?

Exactly 💯 call it something else. Why don't they call it rap? Same reason they can't call it country. It's not.

Well at least I'm not alone. Do whatever you like, I mean Kid Rock & Yellawolf moved to country & that ain't country. Just please just call it rap, not this Hick Hop, Not this country rap, Just call it rap. Have your own genre in the rap game

​@@btnhstillfire, it's sh1t. I'm guessing your suburban @$$ believes you're country too? 😂

Yes but traditional country also had bits of rap in it. For example there was a MAJOR HIT back in the 90s by a colossal country figure. John Michael Montgomery was rapping like crazy…Just in a country form. “Sold” is 100% country rap..

​@@btnhstillfire So being an auctioneer is glorified rapper? That is what "Sold" is about. JMM is singing like an auctioneer. Not singing like a rapper

And call it what it is ! You don’t call opera , hip hop ! You don’t call a longhorn a kitty cat ! If you’re a longhorn you should be grazing in a field, Not in the house on a window seat!

Love Jinks and Ward and Creed have met jinks and Ward several times great dudes

He is just mad because no one listens to him anymore. Here's a quarter call someone who cares!

@@edwardmcintyre3708 no he is not Mad and I know a lot of people who still listen to him!! everyone is BOYCOTTING THE QUEEN OF BEERS!! So go DYE YOUR HAIR ANOTHER SHADE OF PURPLE AND GREEN!!!! ITS NOT OUR FAULT YOU LIKE THE FREAK DYLAN!!!!

@Kim Weaver lol even you sound mad..

Rap music is crap no matter how you slice it. Travis Tritt is 100 % correct

@@edwardmcintyre3708 he is mad and it’s hilarious.

Yeah but they didn't have a hip hop beat to their songs

If you think that’s “rap”, you certainly never heard of rap. Talking songs with country instrumentals is still real and pure country. It has always been. Rap songs with pop instruments on the other hand is not country. Geez… these people.🤦🏻‍♂️

So does this make Red Sovine’s music rap? Lol I’m all about listening to music, but you can’t/shouldn’t mix the two. Country will always be 3 chords and the truth, as Rap is usually about real life situations. I see some that can’t make it in Rap or Pop think that by adding a country accent or a fiddle, they’re all of the sudden Country. Sorry, not so. I do also believe that just as in life, music also, and will always evolve. But please let’s not forget the true roots.

Dont forget wade hayes, david lee murphy, mark chestnut

Also don’t forget William Michael Morgan , Keith Whitley , Randall King Clay Walker , Mark Cheatnut, Aaron Tippah, Tracey Byrd, Martina McBride , M, Craig Morgan , Justin Moore , Joe Diffiie, Leanne Rimes , Terri Clark , Patty Loveless , Pam Tillis , Chris Young , The Judds ,Gary Allan , Alabama , Chris Jansen , Dierks Bentley, Michael Ray , Willie Nelson , Toby Keith and the list goes on !

Great post. 👍 Says it all.

And you are blaming the cross genre artist for this? They are doining nothing to prevent "original country" from happening. There's room for everybody to create what they want. It seems to me that "traditionally artist" are moving to more of what the majority want to hear and/or chasing the money so I don't see how the cross over artist are to blame for that.

Did you really just call Uncle Kracker a country artist? Please DO NOT BREED!!!

It’s all about the money.

1000%

love them both

Thanks for your continues love❤️ and support,that’s what keeps me going How long have you been a fan of mine?

Why? Must every flavor be vanilla?

Alan Jackson and maybe also George Strait also dont sound like Williams, Cash and other Oldtimers. The Sound is always changing. Do you really think that modern artist like Tyler Childers, Zach Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Cody Johnson and Triston Marez a far away from traditional country?

It's not sad anymore because it's not pure ass depression in a song. J Cash and a few others had it where it was supposed to be, the rest? Enjoy your three minute dose of sadness

That's cute. You sound like Nashville when outlaw country artists like Wayland and Hank Jr hit the scene. In other words, stupid.

Too much pop influence in modern “country music”. There hasn’t been an honest to goodness country song in 20 years

What's that

Well, next time you want to listen to your music on the radio and what you get is opera or classical , don’t change the station just be happy and keep listening!!! And that goes for EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO MUSIC!!! Maybe like going to the doctor for a sore throat and getting an annal exam ! Just what you wanted!!

No what, they call country music today, isn't for everybody. As for this kinda non country, as it get's kinda music? I personally don't hate it, but calling it country, and wanting people to believe its country, just doesn't make it so. When alternative rock came along, they never came along and destroyed traditional rock with it, they came up with new name for it, unlike what thy did for country over a decade ago They should have kept the traditional country, and called the new country, country rock, which is what it is. Then this newer style which started this debate, they should have called it country hip hop, because that s what it is. Then we all could be happy. It all has to do, with the rich screwing the populous, or screwing with, better put. lol! The jackasses ever ask s, the ones that made them rich, what we want? Regards!

Guts: Exactly!

Right on ❤

You are right, things change. Sometimes that change is something that previously existed evolving from its prior form. Other times the change is the introduction of an entirely new thing. So, if you create a song that is outside the mainstream of Country music why not simply do what has happened in previous eras? Call it, that newly created song, what is or is to become. Country mixed with Rap isn’t Country its a hybrid.....it is something new. For example, it is not a conventional car it is a hybrid car.......still a car but what type, class of car? Country wasn’t always....it became Country; Rock wasn’t always......it became Rock; Hiphop wasn’t always.........it became. So, if you are going to create a song classify it by what it is......... or is to become.

@@georgem8494 awesome point !

they do not mesh. They make no sense.

@@CaptainSpalding72 You make so sense. We like what we like. Sit down wannabe. You're trying too hard!

no i guess you think a man can get pregnant too

@@3ormore660 how ever you want to take it you need to stop trying to change music to what ever you want and yes music coming from the heart is great

I agree however, you just listed "categories" and that was Travis Tritt's whole point... If you mix them all together don't call it "country"

@@marleysankor I was making the point that everyone may have their opinion, and I wholeheartedly agree with Travis Tritt that there is a lot of not exactly or completely not country "country music" now. most of it is more pop now. Funny enough as I am reading your comment Mr. Tritt's live version of "Country ain't country no more" is playing in the background.

True “art does advance” but has also been defined and explained with words and definition. For the sake of understanding the advances of art we have classified periods of art as Ancient, Classical Greek, Medieval.......Neoclassical. The point about Country vs. Rap (Rock, etc) is that need for classification through defining characteristics to enable understanding and comparison. We make these distinctions in all areas of life. Sports car vs. sedan; soul food vs. southwestern; beer vs. wine (it all alcohol); urban vs. suburban; saltwater vs. freshwater. There is nothing wrong with the distinctions. So, if you create a song that is outside the mainstream of Country music why not simply do what has happened in previous eras? Call it what is or is to become. Country wasn’t always....it became Country; Rock wasn’t always......it became Rock; Hiphop wasn’t always.........it became.

So then, ok what do you call rap going country. It is all, just what, it all is . That is it.

Reba's version was a cover. Vicki Lawrence sang it first, written by her husband, Bobby Russell. It tells a story, as many country songs do, but it ain't RAP.

you said it rite there brother ! hit the freaking nail on the head !

Exactly~

what i was saying you mite run into me at a bluegrass concert! or a megadeath or carrie underwood ,maybe even snoop dawg , actually have seen all of them and many more but yea !

My thoughts exactly...

Agreed! 💯

Exactly! I have everyone on my playlist from Patsy Cline to AC/DC to Tom Macdonald & everything in between! Good music is just good music

If you think jelly is country you must be a m,Z or x because you’re as lost as he is ! So YOU’LL understand, why can’t these people START THEIR OWN GENRE OF MUSIC instead of messing up something that’s been around since the twenties?? That’s the 1920s ! You can’t explain away what country is, jelly ain’t It and he is NOT ALONE!! Why not take him and his like minded and move over to rap or hip hop ?? How about THAT ?? A saying by airplane pilots is , The FAA is not happy , unless you are unhappy ? Seems the M , X and Zs are not happy unless EVERYONE ELSE IS UNHAPPY !! Opioid or not , is not an excuse, everyone gen goes through something ! Make THEIR OWN GENRE is all ANYONE IS SAYING!!!! Get It ? IMHO…

Thanks for your continues love❤️ and support,that’s what keeps me going How long have you been a fan of mine?

I'm 43 and I love hick hop. Upchurch, Gawga Boys, Big Smo and The Lacs.

Shiiiiit.💩

Well said

Got to side with Travis

Yes! Travis tritt a legend in the business is jealous of the little mediocre carrer of a dude half his age and half way dead!? 😂😂 yeaaaa ok!!! Jellytits hopes to have even half the carrer travis had! 😂😂

that's bull hockey.

Same w Garth. There were ppl that said Garth Brooks was bad for country music…

Plus John Michael Montgomerys smash hit “Sold” is 100% a country rap song.. 🤷‍♂️

John Denver wasn’t welcomed openly in country either in the 70’s as a crossover. See what Charlie Rich had to say about it, or should I say what he did to express his hate for it🔥
