The viral phenomenon blew up so fast radio professionals had to rip it from YouTube to play it on the air, and the music industry is still scrambling to decide what, exactly, to call it

Lil Nas X is an Atlanta artist who has risen to prominence thanks to his viral hit “Old Town Road.” In recent weeks, Lil Nas X has signed with Columbia Records, earned a Justin Bieber co-sign, and has seen his single reach Billboard’s Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs charts.

As Rolling Stone notes, Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” is classified as “country” on platforms like SoundCloud and iTunes. Columbia noted in a recent press release that the song topped the Apple Music Country chart and described it as a “country-inspired rap track,” “a country song,” and “a country trap song.” Columbia representatives offered no comment when contacted by Pitchfork.

Lil Nas X’s career on the country chart, though, was short-lived. Billboard quietly removed “Old Town Road” from Hot Country Songs and informed Lil Nas X’s label, Columbia Records, that his inclusion on the ranking was a mistake, according to an insider with knowledge of the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Me think theres some double standards going on, the song is #19 on the Billboard charts btw.
Heres a link to listen to the song - Youtube

Sounds more like rap than country.

Sounds about like everything else that is classified as "country" these days. At least he raps better than Jason Aldean.

Aldean is a far cry from his Amarillo Sky days. Sad.

Sounds like a sound that may include the lyrics “new Iberia haircut” sung by a guy that reminds me of Krispy Kreeeeeeeeme

What “country” does he rap about? Africa?

Cowboy Troy about to call in a hit.
Like Biggie and Tupac all over again.

Not being able to walk faster through camp is gay as aids.

It’s actually pretty catchy, and I don’t like most rap

Good. It has no business on the country charts. It doesn't even say anything about Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk.

It’s terrible, just like current country and rap so it should be allowed to be terrible on both.
Posted on 3/27/19 at 7:12 pm to ellunchboxo
Can’t spell crap without rap.

I have no problem with it being labled country.
Just wondering if any other hip hop songs that were original country songs are labeled as such.

That shits pitiful. What has this world come to.

That's not country, but neither is most of the redneck pop that gets passed off as country these days. So, yeah, double standard.
