Lil Nas X - Before They were Famous
Before Lil Nas X would become a viral sensation through hilarious Tik Toks using his song Old Town Road Before Lil Nas X Would Have the number one song on Spotify’s US Viral 50 charts and the number 1 song on Apple Music with “Old Town Road.” The song has over 11 million streams on soundcloud and over 20 million views on YouTube. But it has been viewed hundreds of millions of times through tweets and Tik Toks all over the internet. Before he would have over 134k YouTube subscribers, over 130k Twitter followers and over 165 thousand Instagram followers.
Before Justin Bieber Posted Old Town Road on his Instagram Story The song was even played during an Atlanta Hawks game Old Town Road Debuted at #19 on the Billboard Hot Country Song Charts But not everyone was feeling the viral sensation, because “Old Town Road” would be taken off of the billboard Country charts Lil Nas X has taken over the internet with a song that blends country, trap, hip-hop and every genre in between to produce one of the most unique releases of the year. If you don’t recognize the name, then you’ve definitely heard the song because it basically took over meme culture. But not everyone was a fan of the new aged country song, because as it rose to into the top 20 of Billboard’s Hot Country Song Charts, the company removed the song, stating there weren’t enough “traditional elements of country.” And many people, including myself, thought Billboard had it wrong.
We’re going to look at that situation, and also take you through the story behind Lil Nas X and how he blew up online. We actually spoke to Lil Nas and he gave us the background on his name, his influences, where he grew up and everything in between so for those of you wondering who the country rap star is, we’ve got you covered. What’s going on good people in the comment section? I hope you’re having one Hecht of a day, my name is Jeremy Hecht and today, I’ll be taking you through the life and career of Lil Nas X prior to fame, here for you on Before They Were Famous. If you’re new here, I’m the LA host for the channel and I’ll be doing weekly content. I try to read all of your comments so let me know down below who I should cover next and how I did. This video is also brought to you by our good friends at Kandy Pens We’ve recently covered artists like Shoreline Mafia, Yungeen Ace, Kodak Black and Lil Uzi so be sure to check those out after you finish watching this one. But I’ve got a question for you on each video that you’ll have to stick around until the end to find out the answer to: Today’s question is: Which Country artist wants to collab with Lil Nas X after hearing Old Town Road?
Lil Nas X was born Montero Lamar Hill on April 9, 1999 in the Grady hospital in Atlanta Georgia. Nas comes from a big family. He has 6 brothers, 5 of them being biological, and 4 sisters, 2 of them biological. He says that growing up they would fight all the time, I feel like it would be hard not to with that many kids in the house. At around the age of 6 his parents split up and Lil Nas was staying with his mom and grandmother in the bankhead courts public housing complex in Atlanta, and thats where he grew up. But at around the age of 10, his dad won custody through what he calls a court battle and Nas moved to Austell, Georgia to live with his dad. Finally, at around the age of 14 he moved to Lithia Springs, Georgia, a small community with a population of around 15,000. Unfortunately, Nas lost contact with his mother and doesn’t know where she is or what she's doing today. But it was his father’s influence that inspired Nas’s music career. His dad was a warehouse worker, but was also a gospel singer. In school, Nas was academically gifted.
He attended Alfred Blalock elementary school, Lindsey middle, and Pebble Brook High School where he says that he graduated at the top of his class. Nas was advanced in all of his classes, but math was his favourite. He was attending West Georgia University, but dropped out eight months ago to pursue his music career full time. When he dropped out his dad wanted him to go back to school stating that there are a million rappers in the industry and the chances of making it are one in a million. Before rap, he worked jobs at Taco Bell, Six Flags and Zaxbys, all within the span of a year. In his spare time, Nas also loved watching cartoons, but before rapping, Nas loved to play instruments. He played the drums and Trumpet. On coming up with his rap name, he said this: “it was originally lil nas just to be ironic cause every new rapper’s name has lil. Kinda got stuck with lil after building a small fanbase. Added the x later on, standing for the amount of years until I feel like I will be considered a legend” In terms of his rap career, it all happened pretty fast and Nas described it as: “Honestly, I got bored last year and made a rap song. People liked it. I kept making them. But I didn’t start taking music seriously until about my 5th song.”
And while he may be humble about his come up, it was a little more complicated than that Looking back at his YouTube and soundcloud accounts, he put out close to 20 songs online before his big break. Which is still pretty quick for someone to make an impact, but the kid was putting in the work and all of it didn’t happen because of some huge coincidence. Nas used to sit and study how to go viral and how to use the internet as a marketing tool. He’s cited Young Thug as an inspiration for his country trap sound but in terms of rap inspirations, he told us he honestly hasn't had a big inspiration from anyone. Rather the internet as a whole inspired him. His first ever song online was a song called "Shame". His first mixtape was called Naserati, and while the tracks are still on Soundcloud it was removed off of streaming services recently. He says that it wasn’t just his dad’s musical abilities that inspired him, but his willingness to pay for Nas’s phone bill. “By paying my phone bill, he allowed me to promote my music heavier on the internet through my twitter account.
My twitter mutuals helped me out a lot too.” He spent his nights promoting his songs online and coming up with creative marketing strategies to try and gain some traction. At first nothing was working. He told Time magazine in an interview that he would: “probably get three hours of sleep, staying up on the internet trying to promote my music at my sister’s house before coming back home. I would sleep on the floor – I didn’t want to come back home because I knew my parents would be mad at me.” The lack of sleep caused him daily headaches but he was so focused on finding a way to blow up online that he didn’t care. At the time his sister was fed up with Nas being over at her place all the time and he could feel there was some tension building.
On December 4, 2018 Lil Nas X posted a snippet of the song now titled “Old Town Road” onto his Instagram. People started to get curious about what sounded like a country trap song, and honestly, unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. And the snippet started to make its rounds. It now has over 150 thousand views on Instagram. A week later Nas released the official song onto his Instagram using the app Triller with the caption yeee haw Nas bought the beat for the song from producer YoungKio’s online beat store. Kio called it a throwaway beat from over a year ago that he had forgotten about. But once he heard the song playing in the background of an online video, he DMd Nas and said that he wanted to help promote the song as long as he gave him his producer credits. And from there, things started to blow up with the memes FLYING.
Nas actually memed himself before anyone else did and it caught on as something so unique that people were drawn to it. is it just me or is it getting a little smokey in here? Stay tuned... for a word from our sponsors. You've all heard of Kandy Pens right? well if the name doesn't ring a bell, I've got a good feeling you've seen them before. Now Kandy Pens was named best vapourizer of 2018 by High Times due to it's combination of popular technology and flashy design. and Kandy Pens? Well they've quickly become the go to choice for vaping in the hip hop and rap community. They've got some co-signs from DJ Khaled, Fatboy SSE, Young MA and Amber Rose. Even the one and only ASAP Rocky? Yeah. He's got his own signature line called the Flacko Jodye collection.
It was originally posted on Tic Toc as a meme where people would basically transform into Cowboys when the beat dropped on the song. Videos using the hastag yeehaw, which all have the song playing in the background, now have more than 67 million views on the app. The song went to new levels when Justin Bieber posted a screenshot of the song onto his Instagram story saying “This s*** bangs” And it even played a huge role in the 2019 March Madness tourney as Texas Tech celebrated their victory by dancing to Nas’ song The song landed at number 19 on the Billboard Hot country charts and that is where Lil Nas’ horses ran into a small roadblock. Billboard removed the song from the country chart claiming that it didn’t embrace enough elements of today’s country music. But the internet didn’t seem to agree. People began protesting online and his name started trending on Twitter with huge support from people within the rap and country communities.
Nas says that even though the song may have some funny lines in it, that doesn’t mean it’s a parody. And says: “The song is country trap. It’s not one, it’s not the other. It’s both. It should be on both.” I personally don’t see why the song shouldn’t be considered country. Even country artist Jake Owen says that he’ll be collabing with Nas in the future. And there is the answer to your question from the beginning of the video. After the song blew up, there was a reported intense bidding war for Lil Nas, which Columbia records ultimately won by giving Lil nas complete creative control over his catalogue. As for the future he told these were his goals. “To just keep making the music I feel like making, never want to be put in a box. Get into acting, modeling and some other things.” In terms of his advice to those watching this at home, he says to remember that “Some people are removed from your life for the better” But as for the rest of the story, well you know the story because this is before they were famous. We'll have to see what Nas does with his new found internet fame. As always, I’m Jeremy Hecht, I hope you have one Hecht of a day, let me know who to cover next in the comments down below.
dream good live better, and I’ll see you in the next video. Also, for those of you wondering why my sweater says "The Peg" It's not what you think if you think it's something gross. Get your head out of the gutter. It's the nickname for my hometown of Winnipeg.
