We’ve seen an increasing number of people grooving to country x hip-hop music. It may have all started when Lil Nas X released “Old Town Road“ more than a year ago. This type of combination can also be heard from Blanco Brown’s “The Git Up“.
But did you know that more than a decade ago, this odd combination of hip-hop and country music was already heard from “Wobble” by V.I.C.?
You would probably think that mixing country music with hip-hop is a terrible idea and that it’d only produce a piece of awful music.
Hold onto that thought for now and wait until you hear the songs mentioned above.
In fact, when these two music genres are mixed the right way and arranged properly, it produces a “can’t help but groove” kind of music. After all, if you’ll listen to them close enough, you’ll realize that they somehow have the same tempo.
Rapper V.I.C. and the Wobble.
Back in 2008, V.I.C. “Wobble“ was the second single by rapper V.I.C. from his debut album ‘Beast’. The song became more popularly known after inspiring a dance.
Three years after its release, “Wobble” then finally made its debut on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at 89th spot on June 2, 2011, and has since peaked at number 77. Its success continued when it went on to debut at number 94 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on January 7, 2012.
The song also has a skit version.
What some people may not know is that before they recorded this song, he made a track called “Wobble (Skit)” to introduce the song “Wobble”. Fans can hear both genres of this song on the “Beast.”
So, when a group of country dancers pulled out their best moves to the hip-hop version, it was surprising yet thrilling.
A line dancing, like you have never seen it before.
Three years ago, a video surfaced the internet showing a group of folks grooving to some good music.
Based on the interior of the place, it’s somewhere that looks like a western pub with a spacious dance floor. It’s an open invitation for dancers or a group of dancers who might want to consider bouncing on the dancing floor.
Thankfully, that day, they had the right visitors.
The video started with more than 20 people (some were pairs) standing and already wobbling to “Wobble”. They were wearing jeans, western shirts, cowboy boots, and hats- just the right getup for the laid back country x hip-hop music.
The beat, tempo, rhythm, and tune of the music can make anyone bounce.
When the song’s lines came in, “Back it up, drop it down,” two guys dropped down.
It was then followed by “Push it up, push it up,” the two gentlemen started pumping their fists in the air. They’re both all-in with the music, while the others were still in sync with their own steps.
“Wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble baby, wobble baby, get in there, yeah.”
They’ve got it all going together with the entire song. All the pumping, bouncing, and hip dance was done perfectly, thus making their line dance so appealing to the eyes.
We want to see more like this.
Now that we know the beautiful combination of hip-hop and country music, we wish to see more folks or groups to perform to this kind of music.
Maybe next time, we can see hip-hop dancers busting it out to some country music. You also want to see that, don’t you?
Watch them bust their moves to “Wobble” in the video below.
