However during this whole time one music stayed alive and kicking just as good (or bad) as it ever was, Country.

I have a lot of respect for Country Music, because out of all the music forms, in my opinion, it's the most real, nobody gives a shit if people don't like it, or if people think it's corny, or over simplistic, they just say what they feel, and it's as simple as that. Typical country song, biggest hit of last year:It's 5 o'clock somewhereAlan Jackson & Jimmy BuffetThis Lunchbreak is Gonna take all afternoonAnd half the nightTommorow, I know they'll be hell to payHey, but that's alrightI ain't had a day off now in over a yearMy jamaican vacation's gonna start right hereIf the phone's for me, you can tell 'em I just sailed awayPour me something tall and strongMake it a hurricane before I go insaneIt's only half past 12, but I don't careIt's 5 o'clock somewhereI could pay off my tabPour myself in a caband be back to work before 2at a moment like this, I can't help but wonderWhat would Jimmy Buffet do?Buffet: I'd say, pour me something tall and strongmake it a hurricane before I go insaneIt's only half past twelve, but I don't careIt's 5 o'clock somewhereIt's 5 o'clock somewhereWho can't relate to that, that's what songwriting was meant to be, emotional, connected with people. Not "I hate a bitch, fuck you bitch, I got money, Bling Bling I got a nice car and you don't, Fuck You, I'm stronger than you, Get more ass than you've ever seen, I make hits, I'm living with millions of dollars and you're listening wanting to be me, I'm gonna shoot you in the ass when I see you ooh lets do drugs together I do a lot of drugs and I'm high all the time but yet I'm still the best basketball player alive I've got a big dick and your woman wants me fuck you, did I mention I was going to try and shoot you in the ass?"One day some rapper, some where, will learn.
LOL @ YOU PEOPLE DISSING CHICKS THAT DON'T LIKE SONGS WITH OLD BEATS AND BEING SURPRISED THEY LIKE THE PETEY PABLO SONG
