This song by Bubba Sparxxx is a landmark in the development of hip-hop's ability to mingle with different musical genres. The song embraces grass roots and country music while simultaneously blending these unique styles with hip-hop. Country music and hip-hop have always seemed to be at odds with each other due to the ethnic and cultural groups that listen to each genre. Country music appeals to white listeners who live in rural areas; whereas, rap music appeals to various ethnicities, predominantly black and latino, that live in urban areas. Overall, Bubba Sparxxx successfully blends the two genres into music that is both a statement about cultural fusion and fun to listen to.
