I have heard a lot of earnest twangy vocals with big drum-machine beats behind them on christian radio. It's really more country/house than country/hip-hop, but it was pretty awful-sounding. Sorry, can't remember any artist names.

Also : Alabama 3, and who was that depressed sounding countryish, rapper from the early 90s with a bottle on his album cover?
Mind you, what I'm waiting for is the country 'n' garage wave. Just try it, sample some Tammy or tuneful, mawkish country female vocal, speed it up, pitch shift it and give it the MJ Cole beat.

it seems like for the past year or two a country-trap fusion will go twitter-viral every now and again but i think this may be the first instance of one actually charting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ho88VXJTBg
what i sincerely love is that this is not only charting on the hot 100, but also on billboard's hot country songs chart. (tbh, there is no defensible reason to exclude it if they were gonna let that bebe rexha song count as country last year.) i anticipate a meltdown from the saving country music guy any second now...
― dyl, Wednesday, 13 March 2019 04:21 (five years ago) link
well, after that sole week it seems to have been removed from the country songs chart. if it had been allowed to remain, it would have jumped directly into the top 5. (it's still on the r&b/hip-hop songs chart.)
i wonder if its initial inclusion prompted any complaints from country industryites or if billboard decided to reverse their initial decision of their own volition after seeing how likely it was to become a 'number-one country hit'...

elias leight, who reliably serves up incisive reporting on the charts, has gone deeper on lil nas x's removal from the country lists. billboard stated that its initial inclusion on the country charts was an error, and in a further statement provided to genius claims the race of the artist had zero influence on the decision to revoke its country standing. (in much the same way that race has no effect on the actions of supposedly colorblind whites who nonetheless manage to perpetuate the systemic failure to include blacks in myriad white-associated spaces, presumably.)
in the meantime, the song is struggling to gain acceptance at any radio format, although a small number of stations that span a wide range of programming orientations are giving it a try, including, apparently, radio disney country. lil nas x's management, despite initially tagging the tune as country on digital services to help it stand out during its initial ascent up the charts, seems to be rethinking positioning the tune so aggressively as 'country' since they believe it might dampen the artist's acceptance in hip-hop further down the line.
my own take: while it's obvious that the song has a strong novelty quality that deploys its country signifiers very ironically and playfully, this hasn't stopped several other songs and their artists from being accepted as country, including perhaps most notably big & rich's breakthrough single "save a horse (ride a cowboy)".
in any case: this turn of events certainly isn't a big blow for the song's commercial prospects: it's up 19 positions to number 32 on the hot 100 this week. on top of that, leight's story has spread to a number of other outlets, including generalist pop-culture sites, rap-oriented ones, and even taste of country. saving country music has predictably posted a blog headlined "Opposing Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' in Country Is Not 'Racism'" that i am not interested in clicking on.

Just bc you’re applying the paltry list of remaining signifiers that can make a likely-to-chart song “country” to trap instead of pop shouldn’t be grounds for exclusion, in my eyes
