Hip-Hop mixed with Country!?!?!?!

[ghost863boy]

Yea I did it. HipHop and country. I sampled country artists Gary Stewart (He and My father were longtime pals and my dad played a lot of shows with him, r.i.p. to Gary)

The track is called "An Empty Glass".

Listen til at least the chorus part comes in, a real surprise!

You can find it at http://www.soundclick.com/bombsquadproductions

Please leave some feedback on any of the tracks there.

*shrug* nice try...but...

well, it's no whack sh**


but it reminds me of that nelly song,
sounds like you tried to copy that.

but at least it sounds ok.

i rather stick with bubba sparXXX,
when it comes to this genre..

so, yes in general - i like "bluegrass-HOPpin'"

I saw the thread title and thought I was having a nightmare.....HipHop mixed with Country? My 2 least fav music genres, so I'm the last person who should be offering his opinion. It's kinda ok, I guess, but what do I know? Having said that, it's still way better than anything I've done

even worse:

sounds like you tried to copy that.

LMAO at this song being done like a year before Nelly's song even came out. And it's not even close to the same content. Nelly's was about a girl, mines about life.

[bambooman]

didn't meant to turn ya'down...in any way...
just a (honest) razorblade feedback..(the truth may hurt at times)
just telling how it is:

true, the content is different,

but the "dialogue style" is 1:1 like at this nelly,
country-hiphop thingy...
anyone else will notice the obvious similarity to it.

Also, this song represents real life to me because I personally knew the artist Gary Stewart. He used to come over to our house while I was growing up and him and my dad would jam for hours and hours while I sat and listened.
A few years ago he went thru a terrible divorce and lost everything. He ended up committing suicide because of it. So I decided to do the song as sort of a tribute to him (being the only real famous musician I've really known)/and as a way to express how I was feeling about my own life about the same time. This song really means something.

Besides, if your not feeling the whole country/rap thing, I got some more tracks up too.

[bambooman]

yep, besides this *similar thingy*
..i like it.. don't worry..

just lost a good friend, not too long ago as well,
(he was making hip hop, as well)
he was just like a little ice cube..talented kid..
but he couldn't deal with life, as a whole..
and bump... he passed at age 24
he always told me "i'll never grow old" etc.
...now i know why

[ghost863boy]

No, don't get me wrong, I can take the criticism, believe me, and I know where your coming from. It just surprised me being compared to nelly cause I can remember being so "pissed" when that song with Tim Mcgraw came out and I already had a country/rap song. I was like damn, he famous and I'm not, so automatically I'm gonna be the one "bitin his style".

It's all good though, and thanks for the replies.
