What most people don't realize about country music is that country fans still listen to the radio and buy cds. If you have a country hit and own the publishing, you get 8 CENTS every time your song is played because the radio stations are mandated by law to pay that fee. So if you have a million streams on Spotify (.00521 cents per stream) you get $5,210.00. One million radio plays(at .08 cents per play)gets the publisher $80,000.00! Radio play is where the money is.THAT is why all the major labels demand your publishing rights when you are offered a contract. Country music is getting the airplay.If you can write a country hit and keep your publishing,you've opened the gold mine.
How about just making music and whatever genre it turns into... It turns into!!... Trying to ride a wave is basically just trying to capitalize off it monetarily.. authentic artists don't think like that...
I feel like this will be the “wave” after the opportunists burn through this country interest once those fans want something more authentic. It’s what happened to rap.
@@DueceSpice they’re around they just in the mix with everyone else for now and authenticity always stands out it’s just a question of time. And we live in 2024 you can be broke at the start of the year and a millionaire or atleast financially well off by the end of the year with the right steps and moves Plus everyone been broke before they got rich there’s always a way
@@ultravioletlionessblu everyone used to this same rap it’s getting boring that’s why it needs to die, I think this is good for rap because for something new to grow the old needs to die and we about to witness a whole new wave soon Plus idk if I’ll ever love country like love rap no matter how big it gets
It’s a new wave of country that’s heavily rap influenced. All these new country artists got 808s and rap cadences in their songs and even if it’s not rap it’s heavily pop influenced. True country artist will get over looked for the younger mainstream artist which normally means they’re versatile.
The hard part about trying to break country music to an urban audience is that the general back story to country music is being raised in a "country environment" it'll definitely go well for a lot of the southern region, but I think it'll be hard to make a new global artist of it. I think labels will focus more on other demographics outside of the black audience at least outside of the southern black audience.
Bro. Everything is narrative, and storytelling. The zeitgeist is changing, and what moves the world is MUSIC. To change the current loved music, the culture has to subtly be changed..how do you do that? Sociology….Game Theory to be specific.
The best thing we can do is release music on our own website and sell downloads and merch. We are indie and trying to compete and do stuff the majors do.
Also rap and hip hop are separate so I think it’s important to note that hip hop is not going anywhere. Rap is dumbed down low vibration anyways so I see this as a good thing.
HipHop is not the music it’s the culture. The way you live, the way you dress and dance. The way you talk. Rap his the voice that was chosen to speak for the culture. Rap is at the forefront now it was the DJ. The DJ was cut out now at live shows, the graffiti artist and Bboys been cut out of it since 88.. the only thing it has left is rap.
@@1ChrisBlake when people try to make a difference between rap and HipHop you usually saying everything that ain’t from New York and it’s traditional sound is Rap and not hip hop. The truth is HipHop ain’t nothing new in it just a bunch of stuff that’s been happening around the world and we make it our own.. Rap music is the words and sounds that’s used to speak for the culture like song and dance. It’s a culture just like every other culture. Every culture has hits own dance, music, food and way of living. Us blacks in America really didn’t have a culture so HipHop and gang culture would be it sad say
@@LESURELOVE ok I know I know. hip hop/rap is also a genre of music but I’m sayin hip hop and rap have been separated because hip hop was never about ignorance it was about uplifting through the things that we, not only blacks, go through where we come from and it’s not that anymore.
@@1ChrisBlake HipHop started from the partying and at those raps they was rappin back then was diss records battles one man putting another man down talking about them in a negative way. that’s not uplifting. Now there was rappers who sent a positive message in their music. The only reason they didn’t rap about the stuff the rappers do today is because they couldn’t. They wasn’t allowed to talk about street stuff on record they couldn’t even cuss. They sold the rights to HipHop when they signed them papers. They removed everything but the vocalist. I get what you saying though I think the older you get the more HipHop/Rap music seems so off. Everybody love the idea of hip hop/rap music from there era. To me looking at what HipHop was and how fun and cool it looked best years was whenever, wildstyle, beat street, krushgroove, Breakin was released so around 84to about 88 after that it started changing no more Bboys, Djs was fading away, graffiti artist gone.. but yeah now days rappers talk about the same shit just in a different cadence and accent. All the rappers dress alike you can’t even tell what city they from these days. Everything is the same
About the music industry, the best thing that could happen to artists today would be an app that let you register your name as a label, so upon registration in the app, you the "artist" is the brand and become automatically your own label, allowing you to keep all your publishing, all your masters, and all your royalties. Everything you create you own, making the major record labels completely obsolete for the music industry we know today and for all future generations to come.

I think one thing folks are neglecting is that with the rise of the right wing, conservatives, trump supporters and the Q conspiracy theories who are in every facet of society these days but it's primary center of support is the South and Midwest where White Christian Nationalists have always listened to country. With that said, in my opinion, the rise of Country is due to the rise of White Christian Nationalists who are conservative and racist. Hip Hop has declined for various reasons but one reason I speculate is because the music no longer speaks for the struggling black and brown community in the innercity, atleast not comparable to the 90s. Where as country is a traditional music where no matter how modern artists take it, country is a kind of folk music kinda like blues is in that the rhythms and lyrical content is generally the same throughout the decades where as Hip Hop seems to change dramatically every 5 years or so. In my opinion, chale with country, and if Hip Hop ain't doing it for us, then we need to get back to our roots, Soul which is also on the rise! You heard it here first! As Hip Hop declines in the black and brown community, the rise of Soul in the tradition of the 60's is about to take over! In fact it's already happening!
I agree with most what you said, except the fact that I don't think anything is going to come next, unfortunately. There aren't enough strong communities to create a new genre or revive an old one. If people start listening to soul again, it won't be new soul, that's for sure. Community is dying, society is decaying and we're watching it.

See we started off putting country in her hip hop and no record labels wanted at 20 years ago but now you can put some hip hop in your country and people love it so it's only natural that there will be some country in the hip hop
Country has always dominated. Their fan base has always been loyal. It's mainstream without general/mainstream people really talking because they always made a lot of money. They've had Black country artists (in recent history), but they're just now putting more money into pushing the Black country artists. Especially after Kane Brown & Darrius Rucker doing very well. Mickey Guyton has been there for more than 10 years, since 2011, but she never received any marketing push to be popular. Beyonce & others aren't bringing it on. For the past few years, record companies have been putting money behind Black country artists like The War and Treaty. Beyonce, like K Michelle, is just noticing it and following through with their own records. & Joe Budden isn't ahead. 6 months ago, there was a Billboard article saying that music executives were "depressed" because they hadn't had any break out artists since Ice Spice & Olivia Rodrigo. Of course that means they're not making money, they can't force people to like that music, so they''ll change who they sign.
What about Darius Rucker that's a good example what are your thoughts on that? He sings country better than country artist😂 went from hootie and the blowfish to country
Tronstep is a new rap genre I created. Its basically no writtens and rapping to the beat of course. But I use futuristic beats, instead of drama type beats. Dub itdown
Every 20 years they say rap is over.. like disco! Country been up! Garth Brooks has like 3-4 Diamond Albums. Shania Twain has the Biggest Selling Album after Thriller. The wave is Afro Beats is replacing R&B .. That’s all
A fool and his money shall part.... MY advice to you is that you invest your money in yourself by building your fan base online & finding the right ppl at the right price to help get to that next level
Where are you at in your career? Have you already established a brand and built a decent fan base? Do you know your audience? Do you have merch? A website?
37k monthly listeners, 1.3k insta followers, fanbase definitely steadily growing, yes merch (early stages tho), no website (not sure how that would benefit me personally) @@dabigyl106 ty for the actual thought provoking response also.
Great points and analysis, but the general hip hop or modern rap audience wont all of sudden become "american", "country", or whatever. The culture wont shift nor will the artists that jump on trends be as notable or successful like prior hip hop legends. all imo.
I think country is just rising because hip-hop lost its vulnerability & relatability. I dont think it's a sound wave per se. Maybe slightly but mainly the content imo Also 'black country" is just a less saturated space
Can country permeate the culture,can it cross over to urban ,like rap did to secular I don’t see that because of the the racial aspects of country towards black people not everyone likes country
country is the next wave? with who? 40+ year olds living in Texas? I thought it was mainly the youth who define current music and cultural trends and when I go on dating apps all the 20-somethings are tagging indie/hiphop/r&b artists like deftones, summer walker, drake, the weekend
Yeah I think you way late to the scene bran Matt country music done took over all the other music because country music let's in other music and other music takes a while for country to get in it
What most people don't realize about country music is that country fans still listen to the radio and buy cds.

A fool and his money shall part.... MY advice to you is that you invest your money in yourself by building your fan base online & finding the right ppl at the right price to help get to that next level
@@casinoroulette I hear that but, that also means absolutely nothing. How do I invest in myself? How do I find these people at the right price.
@@oopsySeason give me $10k and I’ll show you 😂
Where are you at in your career? Have you already established a brand and built a decent fan base? Do you know your audience? Do you have merch? A website?
37k monthly listeners, 1.3k insta followers, fanbase definitely steadily growing, yes merch (early stages tho), no website (not sure how that would benefit me personally)
@@dabigyl106 ty for the actual thought provoking response also.
My way I’m one of the hardest! Do a video about Travis Scott stealing feins from me!
How much of this is a self-fulfilling prophecy?
So suddenly people stopped loving RAP or you mean the ones who fall trends so called waves
Ironically your whole podcast looks like you are trying to chase a wave.
After seeing what Lil Nas x did with country music, Puhlease! 🙄
Drum and bass finna take over
NOW WE WILL FIND OUT WHO ARE REALLY ARTIST AND NOW YOU NEED TO REALLY BE A REAL ARTIST SO THIS WAS NEVER FOR THEM PERIOD..
lol country is boring but is the worlds biggest genre since forever
Rap ain’t dead im proof.
Great points and analysis, but the general hip hop or modern rap audience wont all of sudden become "american", "country", or whatever. The culture wont shift nor will the artists that jump on trends be as notable or successful like prior hip hop legends. all imo.
Ray Charles was way ahead of his time on this one.
I think country is just rising because hip-hop lost its vulnerability & relatability. I dont think it's a sound wave per se. Maybe slightly but mainly the content imo
Also 'black country" is just a less saturated space
Techno
Rock rap and country rap gone take over s/o to chuck berry…st.louis take over bby
Can country permeate the culture,can it cross over to urban ,like rap did to secular I don’t see that because of the the racial aspects of country towards black people not everyone likes country
country is the next wave? with who? 40+ year olds living in Texas? I thought it was mainly the youth who define current music and cultural trends and when I go on dating apps all the 20-somethings are tagging indie/hiphop/r&b artists like deftones, summer walker, drake, the weekend
Thks God. I hate hip hop and rap. Country is not my cup of tea either but that's better than rap.
Yeah I think you way late to the scene bran Matt country music done took over all the other music because country music let's in other music and other music takes a while for country to get in it
