I love Lil Nas X, I think he’s so adorable and destined to be a star.
I think Lil Nas X is an icon, history has been made.
I like his music too but his memes are just chef’s kiss.
I’m definitely here for “Old town Road,” I’m here for the YeeHaw agenda.
A Southern king.
I think he’s putting on for this country trap vibe, that people are thinking that’s
it’s going to be a little phase or a fad.
“Old Town Road” is solid, it’s cool.
He can do it, he’s gonna have another hit.
I predict it.
Oh my God, these visuals are insane.
It’s just kinda repeating because these things are expensive.
What the hell is a visualizer?
This.
… “meanie.”
Looks like Sims for 2019.
Focus on the music man!
I like the whistling, he’s kinda keeping that country vibe, right?
Why doesn’t he have a shirt on?
These little bots look like they’re from Wakanda.
I don’t see paninis yet.
I don’t know why it’s called “Panini” and the visualizer doesn’t help.
Say to me, what you want from me, and what do you want?
A panini.
I feel like he’s feeling, pressed.
Maybe it’s like, he’s the panini being pressed down by the expectations of other people?
I mean, is it part of the hook?
I feel like he could get a panini deal from this.
That's a good collab.
Subway?
A Lil Nas X, Panera Bread collab…
It’s from “Chowder,” right?
The cartoon.
OH!
I saw on Twitter that he’s not talking about sandwiches.
This woman named Panini is—well, girl, ‘cause they’re young— is obsessed with him.
Panini: Hello again, Chowder.
I was expecting Italian pressed sandwich bars.
I love the name, I love the title and I used to love paninis when I ate a lot more bread.
I could see that being on Tik Tok with people making sandwiches.
DayTrip did this beat, this is hard.
I’m fucking with the beat.
You can tell it’s a DayTrip beat just by hearing it?
You know for a fact that if this came on at a party, you’d just be like…
Oh, yeah!
You already know.
This feels like more Atlanta trap-y based…
I feel like it’s very ala Travis Scott feeling.
Yeah!
He kinda sounds like ILoveMakonnen.
Yeah.
My brain would not go to that it’s Lil Nas X.
I’m getting Blink 182 vibes or something.
The chorus sounds like a song I know, I just can’t think of what it is.
I read that he kinda had a bit of a Nirvana melody in there, which you can definitely hear in the song.
I actually read a little bit about “In Bloom” the Nirvana song.
I guess, Kurt was talking about these people that weren’t with the underground vibe.
I love “In Bloom,” that’s one of my favorite Nirvana tracks.
Track two on ‘Nevermind,’ right?
I think it’s hard to say if he’s a one-hit wonder.
Absolutely not, Lil Nas X is not a one-hit wonder, baby.
No.
I think he has a lot of potential, he’s obviously working with a lot of people,
a lot of producers and I think something great could come out of it.
Even if I think he doesn't consistently make hits, he’ll always be making good memes.
I liked “Old Town Road” better, it was just instantly catchy.
It felt really unique and really different.
Like, this is still a good song.
But it would’ve been weird if he made “old Town Road” again, you know?
Because that’s a very specific style of song.
As much as people are like, Oh, the Yeehaw agenda or whatever, like, country trap…
I don’t know if people really actually want that much of that?
On first listen, “Old Town Road” still above “Panini” for me but strong contribution,
I liked it.
I still like “Old Town Road” more, that shit slaps.
I think that’s the issue anytime an artist, especially a rapper has a huge smash hit.
They’re always trying to chase the success of the first one.
He had such a crazy rise, people are gonna basically stan him no matter what he does.
Right.
He’s got the machine behind him, he’s got Columbia Records,
who in 1994 also signed big Nas, shout to Faith Newman.
So here we are 15 years later, Columbia’s betting on another Nas.
Get it Lil Nas X!
Yeehaw!
