I like everything but country and rap... (bs)

Awesome thread. I've always been into hip-hop, but it wasn't until recently have I gotten into country. I started with O'Death. :) I've taken some of your suggestions on here, but any more in this genre?

As for hip-hop, it's another genre that's rapidly evolving. I see no one has mentioned Immortal Technique.:eek: If you have, :thurab:

If you haven't:
Cause of Death

And here's another O'Death:
Down to Rest
 
yeah JC is definitely country, and if you are into Bob Dylan you are halfway there really.
It's easier to digest country when you forget anything remotely modern (or whatever you'd call Garth Brooks and banRAB with plaid vests and on-stage pyrotechnics) and go back to all the really cool crossovers - Grateful Dead, Bobby D, the Stones... for me personally anyway.
I only recently graduated on to full-on country which maybe isn't for everyone but you need to hear the right stuff.

Although going on the assumption that living in Texas you are having it shoved down your throat from birth, I don't think i'd be too eager either
 
Great idea for a thread this.

A few of my favourite country tunes;

I don't listen to a lot of hip-hop at all, but I still have favourites;

I don't know where sweets is in Texas, but I can say having been born here that country music wasn't "shoved down" my throat. It may have to do with being in a big city though.

My point is...yes, country music is big here, but sometimes I get the feeling that (and I'm not pointing any fingers) people think we all wear cowboy hats, ride horses, have shot guns and own every album by Hank Williams and Dolly Parton or whoever else. lol...not so.

Sorry to get a little of subject...
 
i dig dead prez music, but listening to their stuff i get a very black panther feel... they come off as those people who are so deeply affected by the racism against african americans that they themselves resort to racism.

i started listening to them after i first heard them on the chapelle show (intro) back in the day. i do think they are talented artist however.
 
this one might be a little tougher pill to swallow for some of you, however the effects are well worth it. patsy cline is another on the most influencial and legendary voices of country music. her voice is so rich, unique, and beautiful.

There's nothing wrong with country or rap. They're not my favourite genres of music but they do have some talented artists. Eminem is a phenominal rapper. His music is very catchy and he writes good lyrics. I also love the dixie chicks. They are amazing musicians and the lead singer is amazing live.
