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

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 longevityNot complaining, ofc, we got some good remixes - and chart placements - out of that practice

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

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 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
― dyl, Saturday, 13 July 2019 14:03 (four years ago) link
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"

You'd have to like the song to really like these words; I do, and I do.
As the late great Hunter S. Thompson would say, it’s a savage journey to the heart of the American dream. It defines the yeehaw state of mind. At a moment of nationwide apocalypse, it’s a love letter to everything that used to be cool about this once-proud land, the final stand of the last great American jukebox hero.
