NASHVILLE, Tennessee – Cowboys and cowgirls love to dance to hip hop. We know Country is cool when it’s hot and sweaty.
As much as we love King George, Hank Williams, the occasional dose of bluegrass and a lot of Zac Brown, we also love rapper Lil Nas X’s ‘Old Town Road’ that debuted on the Billboard Hot Country Charts at #19 just three weeks after it dropped and has gone viral on the social networks. But Nashville? Not too much!
Inspired by gamer’s choice, ‘Red Dead Redemption’, the Lil Nas X hit lyrics have found a spot on rodeo cowboy’s playlists but Billboard says ‘Old Town Road’ can’t ‘ride no more’ on the Hot Country Chart and kicked it off.
“When determining genres, a few factors are examined, but first and foremost is musical composition. While ‘Old Town Road’ incorporates references to country and cowboy imagery, it does not embrace enough elements of today’s country music to chart in its current version.” THAT’s what Billboard had to say.
We’re asking you. What do you think? Hot Country or NOT Country?

Yeah, I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road
