Country Music Hollers Back at Hip-Hop Disscusing "Homeboy"

County music is made to appeal to the small town people who have lots of family morals and enjoy the simple things in life. In the article “Country music Holler back at hip-hop” they talk about how recent songs stick to these ethics but in a more hip-hop style song way. Country music talks about the rule people and not people from cities or heavy populated areas. A lot of songs also talk about how rule and urban people are “against” each other.

A great example of this is the song “Homeboy” by Eric Church. This shows the rule vs. urban aspect of country music very well. This song talks about boys in high school talking about the “ganster” boys who wear their pants to the ground. They talk about how eventually they will miss and wish that someday they were back with their high school crush without worries. The song ends by the rule boys talking to the gangsters about how they better come home and make it up to their parents before it’s too late.

“Homeboy” is a perfect example of country music and about how rule vs. urban people can be so different. Even though some of the more recent country song incorporates more hip-hop style music they are still using the same country music rule vs. urban family morals they have always had.
