And since I have seen Alabama-based rapper Yelawolf promoted by many different roots-based entities, including The Soundland Festival in Nashville and Shooter Jennings’ XXX, I thought he would be a good start.
Unlike many others that flee from this fight, I am willing to take the charges of racism and closed-mindedness to fight for the preservation of diversity and contrast in music.Īt the same time, the way we can counter accusations of racism and closed-mindedness is by attempting to seek out the artists that are actually being creative and respectful in their attempts to bridge the two genres as opposed to simply increasing a target audience by appealing to the least common denominator. Here at Saving Country Music, we have put ourselves squarely on the front lines of opposing the infiltration of hip hop into the country genre, or possibly, the takeover of country by hip-hop, that seems to be pervading the current mainstream country music landscape.
