That would be something I might actually pay to hear.
Do you like bro-country? Does anyone?

Baby don’t you speed past me that way
Cause girl there’s only so much I can take
Cause ya make me want to
Pull yourself to the side of the road
Slide on over let me see your fuel vapour hose
And tell you everything I’m thinking
Hop on out and let the tailgate fall
Get drunk on you with no engine oil
If you don’t stop I’m gonna
Girl you make me wanna

There are only two types of music: Country, and Western.

I believe we must direct all sciences towards one goal: reviving Johnny Cash, at this rate.

Nope, I keep my Country strictly to the hard stuff:

This is pretty much exactly my view, I'de much prefer to stick to more pure hip-hop formulations. Country vocals have always been very meh to me, though I definitely prefer this to most country music.
btw Reggaeton is always pretty good, it makes for very good background music.

I thought the song in the OP was awful. Not necessarily because of the genre-blending, but because it's just... bad.
I'm not sure where the hip-hop part came in? Sounded more like pop to me.

Yikes. 
The stuff in the OP is just noise. It's not as awful as some of the noise that masquerades as music, but to me it's still just noise.
Now Hank Williams, Sr. ... yeah, I remember listening to his stuff on my parents' records. In fact, I still have them, although I plan to sell them in the near future since I'm really not into that kind of music anymore.

Wait, people still describe pop music as "just noise" unironically?

I use that description on jazz, usually.
I describe any music I don't like as "just noise."

Technically isn't all music "just noise".

I've noticed most songs by black people are about love and boning. Rap and hip hop might have some gangsta elements in it but it's still mostly about boning.

Isn't that what most of music is about? I mean you can be charitable and call them "love" songs, but the end result is still the same.

I don't understand what point you're trying to make here. That white music is more intellectual or something? Just seems like racist bs.

At least you're honest about it.
Music has been that way for a long, long, long time. Medieval troubadours, Ancient Greece, etc., it's all about love and boning. I mean, Mozart wrote some songs about licking people's butts.

I've hated country since I was a kid, even more so with the bro country fad. Exactly why has vexxed me for a while. After all, I've lived in the part of the world that likes it the most for my entire life. I've come up with only a few reasons:
1) The accents. The majority of country singers seem to be exaggerating or faking their accents, especially the most popular ones. Country singers also seem to try to enunciate their 'r's as much as humanly possible. I've never heard a southern accent that sounds quite like that. Also, country accents from the upper south sound subtly different from the ones from areas around Acadiana. I'm probably most used to North Louisiana and Texas accents, and they don't have the annoying, nasal quality that a lot of country singers' accents have. Given that country music seems to revolve around Nashville, even a native sounds a bit off to me.
2) The lifestylism. Country music seems to be as much in-group propaganda as it is music. Texas is like 80% urban, and yet, everyone here seems to be listening to country singers romanticizing about tractors, trucks and farms. A lot of the same people wear cowboy hats and boots at their day jobs or college classes without a sense of irony (the same in Louisiana is true to a much smaller extent). At least the lifestylism in hip-hop is semi-believable, as in, "yes, I did in fact grow up in the 'hood." Ask a country music fan if they've ever patrolled a burning sugar cane field, shoveled poop for weeks at a time, or had to stay home from school to help with a harvest, and you'll get a lot of puzzled looks. A lot of people who grew up on farms here don't particularly want to keep doing all the stuff country music seems to think is great. In fact, in rural south Louisiana, people my age who grew up on farms seem to be drawn as much to hip-hop as to country.
3) The steel guitars. I... I can't even.
4) My synesthesia. Country music is usually a gross brownish yellow to me.
I think before around 2000 or so, bro country was essentially nonexistent. Sure, there was no shortage of pop garbage, but they hadn't quite lost their shame yet.

I agree with you on point #1. I can't stand the vocals in some country songs, including the one in the OP. Others with less obnoxious accents (such as the songs Kyriakos and Owen posted) are much better.
