The guy is really creative and talented. It took me a while to appreciate just how intelligent he really is, but once I examined the song meanings, it was really clear to me that he's not just another top 40 trash artist.
They played this song on the intercom at my school earlier today
Toxic And Brianna how to make someone kill themself
@@yrgbob6537 ikr the song is hella haHAA 👎
Transfer... NOW!
They switched the anthem out with panini at my school
@@ayseadee538 fuck off I'm not a fanboy but stop hating only because of his succes
Next: How Lil Nas X created “Panini”
Easy. he watched chowder when he was younger 😂
that's what i was thinking
We already know that
Search for “genius deconstructed panini” on yt
Lil Nas X: well I was eating a panini when I was in the car and I thought of a song...
Aww he is so genuine and cute I love this dude
Mikey Croker are you a male or a female cause he gay
@@littlehorchata7566 😂😂😂😂
@@littlehorchata7566 lmao
@@littlehorchata7566 by the name mikey im guessing its a male
Me too, he great.
Surprised he didn’t call out Billboard for yeeting his song
To think he bought the beat from a then unknown producer for $30. That's what you call an investment!
Thats better than stocks 😂 why isnt everyone just making music 🤔
it’s $20 lol
it's the license price, the producer still gets 50% of the publishing
@@unibeastbeats Well good for him then
Lol
Wanna know what’s funny? Before this song even came out, my riding trainer would tell me “Ride until you literally can’t” 😂
i believe you with that profile picture
John's Guinea Pigs aHaH yup that’s one of my horses 😂

King_Rey 45 yeah 3

But technology will...
MWolfy 1230 see kids, you will never use algebra in your life.
It can,Einstein made 5M in 1950s by just writing a copy of his theory .
When I hear stories like this, it makes me real happy he blew up. Cause family won’t really support you musically till they start seeing results
He look like he tired of telling this story😂
He's so cute honestly
See how nowadays you could think of something that you want to be instantly and you go for that then people were too scared to do that is really dope how this young generation really follows what they want❤️
bruh I knew there was gonna be horses in the back
John's Guinea Pigs you’re everywhere 😂😂

Facts
He should of mentioned Billboard removing his song off the charts, oh wait...
Hectic! 😭😂
What?
Your families should be ashamed of you _Billboard_ for taking his song off the country charts. Louis Jordan had two country number ones in 1943-1944, and you were less progressive in 2019 than in 1943-1944. Nice job. "If country music fans like a song then it's a country song!" -- Billy Ray Cyrus 4/19/2019. Billy Ray understands how a chart of what's really happening is supposed to work, you don't.
Old Town Road is actually my favorite song.
Homie talented whether anybody likes it or not. Some people are just meant to be stars.
Talented kid . Is good 2 see this new generations been so creative. God is Good 🙏
“It was always a meme”

**I heard Lil Tracy drop this song called “LIKE A FARMER”, then I realized country hiphop is the new wave. So i took most of his lyrics then it blew!🤯💁🏽♂️**
Time?
COSMICPHOENIXX he didn’t say this, its what he should’ve said lol
UNO Sheem ok but who made the wave somewhat pop off?? Tracy. Then uzi made it a gain a little bit more attention.. All of the sudden about a month later Nas drops. If u were a tracy fan you’d kno he wasn’t cool w it at all
Exactly, he could have at least mentioned it

I still can't get over the fact that he is only a year older than me
I thought this song was inspired by the game red redemption or something.

They removed you from the charts and your nice enough to still do an interview. I couldn’t do that. I’m not the one.
Helmet Head They removed him for the country charts because his song isn’t country.
