Lil' Carrie Vs. Wayne Underwood

The question presents itself, " Where do you see similarities and/or connections between Hip Hop and Country Music?" Do they have anything in common?






If you walked up to someone on the street and you asked them if the two genres of music Hip Hop and Country have anything in common they would most likely tell you NO!


Take a look at these to pictures above you have Lil' Wayne who represents the Hip Hop Genre. To the right you have Carrie Underwood who represents the genre of Country. By looking at these two you'd never think that their two styles of music have anything in common.

These two styles while very different; share the idea of sing/rapping about life and relating to its listeners.

    I think both genres end up focussing on very similar things. Both really support traditional values, particularly having to do with gender and sexuality. In both, being highly educated is seen as somehow "selling out." You also have the case of artists in both genres trying to make themselves seem more "legitimate" than others.
