Ludacris later joined Aldean on a remix of "Dirt Road Anthem," resurrecting the song's original country-rap profile. "Country Folks" paired up Sparxxx with Colt Ford, one of his contemporaries whose song “Dirt Road Anthem” was eventually covered by Jason Aldean, who turned it into a No. His 2003 album "Deliverance" wasn't commercially successful, but he helped inspire a generation of "hick-hop" rappers who came after him. New Booty," Sparxxx - the stage name of Georgia native Warren Anderson Mathis - is seen among some fans as one of the 2000s' most influential country-rap pioneers. While many listeners know Bubba Sparxxx as the one-hit-wonder rapper responsible for 2005's "Ms. Kentucky natives Nappy Roots straddled several genres with the twangy soul on their "Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz" debut album with country and rap both decidedly in the mix. “Po’ Folks," Nappy Roots and Anthony Hamilton (2002)

No list of influential country-rap moments would be complete without the musical and stylistic achievement that is Will Smith’s remake of Kool Moe Dee’s “Wild Wild West," which was also the theme song of the Smith-starring movie of the same name. Hailing from Port Arthur, Texas, the legendary hip hop duo has maintained from the start that their music belongs to both genres, with Pimp C rapping in the song's last few lines, "Down here we ain't makin' hip hop songs, know what I'm sayin / We makin' country rap tunes, so separate us from the rest." “Wild Wild West," Will Smith, Dru Hill, and Kool Moe Dee (1999) Technically released just over 20 years ago, "Ghetto Cowboy" deserves inclusion by firmly falling within the category of country-rap, with the track's harmonica working as the star of the show.

Billy Ray Cyrus joins Lil Nas X on remix “Ghetto Cowboy," Mo Thugs Family and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony (1998) I still do not listen to a whole lot of country music at is it, but I definitely enjoy it more now than in the past.Related: Billboard's decision to disqualify Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' from country charts is misguided He’s got that certain “twang” in his voice that many look to achieve, and it seems that he has the ideal attitude of a country boy too. Jason Aldean is a very talented performer and it shows in his music. This song has turned me on to the genre of country music more than any other song I’ve heard so far. But, more importantly this genre is about living carefree and showing you don’t give a damn about what anybody thinks.
This gives the perception that you are somebody who lives in the country and is very laid back as well. Jason Aldean is going even further and sporting his cowboy hat. In the video, everybody is wearing jeans, cowboy boots, and cut off flannels. Country music is also about the vibe that you give off, including what you wear. It gives you piece of mind and helps you forget about the problems you have or anything else you may be going through, at least for a little while. I feel that this is what draws listeners so much to the idea of country music. It is about not caring about what the world is doing, but rather just hanging out with your friends listening to music and doing anything that you enjoy. In a certain part of the chorus, the lyrics are: “laid back swervin’ like I’m George Jones, smoke blownin’ out the window, and ice cold beer sittin’ in the consol.” I believe this part of the song signifies to me what country is all about. They drink beer and have a bonfire, just like Jason Aldean describes in his song, which helps put a picture to what he is saying. Then, as the video progresses, all of his buddies and their girls join him with their trucks to start the party. The music video clips show Jason driving down a dirt road further and further into the country. In the music video for Dirt Road Anthem, Jason Aldean is either singing in the middle of an old country road, or inviting all of his friends to come have a good time with him. In my opinion, Country music should be about anything that makes you happy and it should help the listener forget about their worries so that they can just enjoy the music for what it is. Jason Aldean also has that “twang” in his voice which makes him sound even more country. Dirt Road Anthem brings out those feelings when I listen to it. When I think of the genre of Country music, I think of dirt roads out in the country, drinking beer, people smoking cigars, and just living carefree. Although I don’t listen to country music very often, this is one song I like very much.
