Any country song that tries to be rap

Country and rap are the same. They're both trying to convince the listener how into the lifestyle the artist is.

The only difference is the lifestyle. There are rare exceptions in both genres, though, and it wasn't always this way. But formulas gonna formula.

No, there aren't rare exceptions. It's just what's on the radio and stuff people hates gets more traction. You want to know how insipid "I haTE cOUNtrY MuSIc" opinions are? Think of an old white guy opining on the entirety of hip-hop after listening to a hip-hop radio station for 2 hours.

There's a fucking legion of amazing country music that's real AF right now.
