I went into this expecting to hate it. I mean, c'mon, Snoop Dog trying to pull off a country/rap hybrid? Maybe that's why I ended up thinking it worked.

This was pretty cool, but country-rap hybrids also have a dark side.

Big & Rich f. Cowboy Troy Link (new window)


David Allan Coe (new window)

Trace Adkins (new window)

So basically, just quit while you're ahead Snoop, it can go bad pretty quick.

Okay, that was weird. Not bad just...weird.

/Annnnd it's gonna be stuck in my head the rest of the night.

Big & Rich f. Cowboy Troy

NOT a Big & Rich video. And what's wrong with that song?

David Allan Coe

Yeah. The man is waaaaay to old and slow to try to rap.

Trace Adkins

That's not a rap its a two-step. (yea ok, you can two-step to damn near anything, but this is a fast two step, NOT a rap)

DaCricket: NOT a Big & Rich video. And what's wrong with that song?

The song was Rollin' by Big & Rich f. Cowboy Troy wherein he drops some of the worst lines ever written an excerpt:

Dum-diggity-dum, diggity-diggity-dum dig this
Slicker than the grease from a BBQ Briskit
Got more chunk than a fresh potato salad

6 foot four with a cowboy hat
I dont mess around, yo what's up with that
I'm cowboy troy, a texas hick
And I'm rollin with the brothers
Big and Rich
The rest of his shiat is just as bad or worse.

I can agree with your points on the Trace Adkins song, but damn it's still horrible.

lcmino: The song was Rollin' by Big & Rich

Yeah I know, I was just pointing out the video you linked is not their video, just someone's homemade stuff.

/I don't mind the song, probably because it never got a lot of airplay compared to 'save a horse, ride a cowboy'

I didn't dislike that, either.

He says "Whitey Ford on guitar", would that be Everlast? Everlast somewhat bridged a gap between hip-hop and folky-country.

I knew Snoop was hanging out recently with Willie (there was a Fark link a few weeks ago with pics of them together), so, good on them.

k, I didn't really watch the video, my bad, apparently it got pulled since I linked it.

Peaceboy: He says "Whitey Ford on guitar", would that be Everlast?

That's what I was wondering, but I couldn't really tell from the video

*snork* Can you imagine the size of the cloud? Everyone within a 3 mile radius was probably stoned outta their minds.

As has Kid Rock.

/He may be a total weenie, but the boy really can sing when he wants to.

f'shizzle, y'all.

I missed that earlier link -- Willie never ceases to amaze me. This was pretty great. Daddy needs his medicine... words to live by.

DaCricket: *snork* Can you imagine the size of the cloud? Everyone within a 3 mile radius was probably stoned outta their minds.

That's why some of the video was shot in Amsterdam.

well snoop did kill a man, so maybe Cash woulda maybe dug it.

It is. I didn't watch the video again so I can't remember, but he might be covered up in bandanas like he is with his newest hip hop group La Coka Nostra.

country + rap = CRAP

country + rap = CRAP

Oh that's a good one!! Got any more?!?

/oasics + keyboard = DROOLING IDIOT

Sounds a lot like Outkast, especially when you see and hear this (new window).

NOT A RICK ROLL

There is no god.

I kinda liked it.

what's next? is dr. dre gonna do a drive by on horseback?

I like it. Catchy.

Ween did it better.

Piss up a rope. (new window)

Mr Richard Smoker (new window)

NSFW language in both.

Better version Mr Richard Smoker (new window)

benlonghair: Ween did it better.

And I dont mean country rap, I mean wierd ass country.

I think I'm with everybody else on this one. By all rights, that should have been terrible, but it was actually an enjoyably quirky little song. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Snoop should release a whole album of country music covers and country-inspired songs with guests straight outta Nashville:

Willie Nelson
Tim McGraw
Randy Travis
Carrie Underwood
etc.

Too bad Johnny Cash isn't still around...

"How high is yo' daddy, mama? She said he's three tokes high and risin'."

Sounds like Snoop discovered late nineties alternative rock.

I liked it.

More please.

Howdizzle, partnizzle.

Maybe when Robert Plant goes off to do the Zeppelin reunion, Snoop can work with Allison Krauss.

/almost made my own head explode

Yeeeeeeeemuthafarkinhawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I liked it...freshing. Snoop did give props to Cash in the past.

It's no Cotton Eye Joe.

Well, that was... interesting...

/not bad, but not all that good. Mediocre?

Surprisingly, that was better than most country music being produced these days.

/maybe it's not surprising

Kobe jersey. PW3ND!

"This video is not available in your country."

Snizzoop is da man.

Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella?

For drizzle.

TheSpaceAdmiral: Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella?

For drizzle.


What does Snoop Dogg use to wash his whites?


Bleotch.

Not only was that better than most country, it was also better than most rap.

So, take two awful things, merge them together, and get something that's not half bad?

I'm still not understanding why I really liked that.

That was a trip, but I liked it.

Not bad. Unlike Kid Rock, he's not dumb enough to start doing country all the time.

And now for something completely hideous:

Stradavus: Surprisingly, that was better than most country music being produced these days.

Sure, because what is pushed out of the record labels as country is pretty much generic crap. Currently popular country is pretty cheesy and formulaic.

I'm confused - two things that I hate (Snoop and modern country) together and I kinda like it.

/I call it the Mashup Effect.

Great American music. Snoop FTW.

That is just all kinds of awesome. Say what you will, but Snoop knows what he's doing. Wether it's picking up 70's funk and soul, or now country.

I'm going to have that goddamn hook in my head for the next week

/get my money, buy my medicine biatches
