Hip-Hop & Country Music

Country music can relate to Hip-Hop in just a few ways things like who are the lyrics dedicated to. In Hip-Hop all songs don't talk about death, killing, sex or drugs..they talk about being mistreated; women being mistreated. Artist like Common, Tupac, Biggie and Dolla talk about things that people can relate to. Kanye West doesn't always talk about bitches and hoes and he's an up-to-date artist Wale is a story teller who also is up-to-date; that's what Hip-Hop is all about having your fans relate to your music. Country music is for an everyday person it's simple music that you can relate to also. Country music has their own stations on television that are dedicated to that type of music and so does Hip-Hop. they have a station called MTV Jams where they play Hip-Hop and a minimum amount of R&B they have shows that are dedicated to MC's (Who's the best MC?) Country music and Hip-Hop can relate they just have totally two different people listening to them.

  1. There have been some interesting collaborations between country and hip-hop artists that I think have the potential to bring the disparate groups of fans together.
