I think everybody misunderstood your question...because this song is neither metal nor classic rock😅
I agree with most of the country stations in this country that refuse to play this song on their station. This is a legit Hip Hop/Rap song. Just because you collaborate with Billy Ray or sample a country track doesn’t make it a country song.
I think the publicity they got from the controversy helped it get popular for sure though. Good for them for making #1 on Billboard and iTunes.
@Haniazed a lot of songs on the country charts arent country either. Taylor swift built her fanbase cosplaying a country artist . i could go on & on .Its politics🤷♀️
Between those two, hip-hop, although I tend to like old school rap better than the newer stuff. I do like a few country artists but don’t care much for the genre itself.
