Backlash after Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" removed from Billboard Hot Country chart

Lol anime ... of course

he has just come out on his twitter page

many figured he was not hetero given his past running a stan twitter/tweetdecker account but still cool

Yeah good for him

By true audience I meant 4 year olds but please continue to be perplexed by his success

his label was trying to cover up his past as a nicki minaj stan account because it obviously signaled that he's gay, i'm glad that for his sake that the farce can end

Seven years ago first week of July, Frank Ocean went public with his yearnings ftr

I still don't know who this is, but good for him!

wow, christgau truly is the dean wormer of music criticism

It’s about some anime character, not a sandwich. but that doesn’t mean it won’t make me hungry

ahh not anime its a character from the cartoon "Chowder" (?) which lasted from 2007-2010 and there's a character in it named Panini

Dude just bought himself another week at Number 1

Mason Ramsey ethers Thugger on this

Kinda reminds me ZTT Records in the 80’s releasing multiple versions of a single with different mixes over the course of several months to goose its chart longevity
Not complaining, ofc, we got some good remixes - and chart placements - out of that practice

i honestly thought the bieber remix of “bad guy” would vault it to no. 1 but now....

billie’s remix is more akin to early 10s trends in chart goosing — missy on katy perry’s “last friday night,” kesha and nicki on “til the world ends” etc

that, plus someone probably figured "it worked for despacito"

young thug's voice sounds so good on this lol

to add to ppl's case studies about what normies irl think abt this song: apparently one of my cow*rkers (in her 50s) thought that it was a billy ray cyrus song that simply featured 'a rap guy'. when the original version played on the radio and ended w/o cyrus's vocals she thought the station must have decided to edit him out/fade the song out early

The country-rap song they did let on the country charts is dreadful.

I like it!

“The Git Up,” he’s said in interviews, is part of a sound he calls “trailertrap” — “country music with 808s, hi-hat snares, kick drums and beatboxing.”

i'm sure elementary school gym classes have been needing new material for a while

i assume it will be on top of billboard's country chart for ages, regardless of how much (little) country airplay it ends up scoring

i find it odd that the 'country-trap' label is being used for that tune tho, and apparently accepted/repeated. if that song is 'country-trap', then so is "body like a back road"

and "meant to be" etc etc

lil nas x is a commie, hope you're all pleased, I know I am

it’s ok to steal from rich people

mason ramsey and lil nas x proving the existence of extraterrestrial life would maybe justify our life inside the simulation

Big look for Anthony fantano

The next level approaches.

i'm all for him keeping this at number one through the end of the year if only for the novelty

can't wait for Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Drake's appearances

maybe just start going through the alphabet
feat. björk, blueface and asha bhosle

Burna Boy for Billy Ray, Busiswa for Dolly P = African remix

Been waiting for Dolly and Willie to do it.

speaking of the alphabet you know zz top's version would rule

I like to think that was the product of you making 26 alliterative lists of feature artists

Been waiting for Dolly and Willie to do it.

lads

zz top and bun b

peep and xxx

Feat. Y2K, YG, E-40, EMF, AOC and AC/DC (PDQ Bach "Alphabet Soup" Remix) - sponsored by KFC

LFO remix:
"Cowboy hat from Gucci
Wrangler on my booty
Itchy and Scratchy had a dog named Poochie"

zz top and bun b

didn’t mean for that to sound catty!

LFO remix:

idgi (and also a little late to get them/him, at least there’s a few broken husks of men being propped up in a studio to make a final AC/DC album over another husk’s tapes)

now that you mention it, i bet axl would totally be down for this

ZZ Top actually did a “cover” of Houston rap classic “25 lighters” but you probably already know this

didn't sound catty! but i did know that....i saw an article once that billy gibbon's studio was popular with a lot of houston rappers

xpost well-adjusted, semi-woke axl rose is one of the weirdest developments in music of the last decade
