When I first heard about this song, I was interested to see how good or bad it was gonna be. I downloaded it yesterday, and I gotta say, it's a good ass song. Whoever produced this song, did a good job.
-
If they sell this to the country crowd the "Suit" could have some good album sales.
What's so good about the production?
-
this song is nice and catchy as fuck, i think this is gonna be nellys second single offa suit
-
I refuse to listen to this, it denegrates country music to the level of the worst examples of rap music.

The way the song sounds.

I think it's over produced, too many extra sounds. It's supposed to be country, not Pink Floyd. It should have been just the guitars, and maybe a few more real instruments here and there. That sparkle sound is not neccessary.
And Smile, if Rap and Country were to come together, I can't think of anyone better than Nelly. Most rappers don't fit. He sorta does.

I figured as much, but if it is really country then the country stations will play it, and that is the hottest market to sell records. Look what it did for Kid Rock with "Picture".

whats the next singles of bboth cd,s

tight and what about the other cd? could it be "Play it Off"
-
This will never get played on a country channel, there's a big difference between Kid Rock, and Nelly. Kid Rock has always had a folk sound, and folk/rock/country are all based in 'white' music. Rap has absolutely no crossover into country. Now, Tim McGraw could possibly get played on a rap channel if the song's any good, but people would boycott a country station playing Nelly.

im intrested, i want to hear this

If they cut down the production on the song and they gave McGraw more Vocals it would get played, particularly since Nelly isn't rapping on it at all.

gay shit

gay shit
huh?

this shit sucks

this shit sucks
Oh. Not a big country fan?
-
its not really country... and no.

I say this loud and proud, the only good Country artist is the late, great, Johnny Cash. Thats it. I'm not checking this out
-
^ You're so full of shit, nearly all country from the 60's and 70's was in a similar vein as Johnny Cash, if you like him, you'd like dozens of others. You're just too stereotyped against listening to it. Country music is great.

He's obviously never took the time out to listen to Merle. And yes country music is great. Not a fan of a lot of the new stuff though.

Agreed.

Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Conway Twitty, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Patsy Cline, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, Randy Travis, Glen Cambell, there's dozens of great country artists who had dozens of hits.
The real beauty in Country Music is generally, they aren't singer-songwriters (some are). The reason this is a benefit is that in Nashville, you have groups of GREAT songwriters who sit around all day writing songs for the artists... so you have someone with a great voice like Randy Travis, who can release an album every 6 months if he wants, because all he has to do is pick and choose from all these great songs. So typically, country musicians will have album after album of good, quality songs.
On the flip side, you have the norm in Rock, and Rap; the band is pretentious enough to think they can write, so they sit around writing for 4 years, then put out an album; half the songs suck because they don't have the talent to produce enough songs to whittle away down to a good solid dozen tracks, and you only get 1 album every 3 or 4 years.
In the meanwhile, George Strait has released 5 albums with 60 songs written by the greatest songwriters alive.
Country REALLY gets slept on. I understand it's just not some people's flavor, though, depends on where you come from, I guess you have to relate to it a little bit.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Country still sells huge though. It's the only genre that hasn't suffered since the internet file sharing revolution.
And there are great singer song writers their too. Kristofferson was always a champ, and Cash and Merle wrote a lot of their songs.
-
Well, I never heard of any of the artists you mentioned SMiLE, so I guess when I get the chance, I'll listen to some of their shit. I guess I shouldn't judge an entire genre based on a few crappy artists (Dixie Chicks, etc).

I haven't listened to George Straight in too long a time. Thanks for reminding me. I just broke out some of his CDs and put 'em in. Great songs, sung by a great singer!!!!!!!! You can't ask for anything more.

George Strait is releasing an album in October called... get this... 50 #1 hits. That's the name of the album. The motherfucker has 50 NUMBER ONE HITS. He's a monster. Nobody else is even on his level in country! People respect and love Johnny Cash, or George Jones, but neither one had 50 #1 hits. I think Alabama had 42 #1 hits or something, but good god almighty.
I wasn't saying there aren't any singer songwriters in Nashville, just that most don't write their own songs. Some do... Alan Jackson does, Dwight Yoakum does, Shania Twain does, etc. They almost never write a full album, though, and they have the benefit (or the wisdom?) of picking from all the nashville songwriters catalogues, Dwight Yoakum will write like 3 songs, then pick 9 or 10 from other songwriters, and have a great album on his hands, every year. In my opinion, that's the way to do it.
Download "Tell me Something Bad About Tulsa" by George Strait. It was on his CD from last year, it's an unbelievable song vocally, in my opinion. Maybe my favorite song ever by him.

Yeah, the Dixie Chicks are trash. They're imposters, they don't even want to be considered country anymore. Anyone that goes around saying they don't want to be called country, I mean, come on. That ought to tell you they're pretentious and fake as hell. Be what you are, don't be ashamed of the type of music you make. Fake-ass bitches. All 3 of them are about 3.5's, as well.
