This is off topic but I have something very interesting to share with you, about the origins of the word "country music", which according to the quote below, was known as "hillbilly music" upto the 1950s (before the term "hillbilly" became somewhat derogatory depending on context of usage). It has an English king origin, which as Knights, we seem to like. :knight2:

The term "Hill-Billies" is first encountered in documents from 17th century Ireland. Roman Catholic King James II landed at Kinsale in Ireland in 1689 and began to raise a Catholic army in an attempt to regain the British throne. Protestant King William III, Prince of Orange, led an English counterforce into Ireland and defeated James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. A significant portion of William III's army was composed of Protestants of Scottish descent (Planters) who had settled in Ulster in northern Ireland. The southern Irish Catholic supporters of James II referred to these northern Protestant supporters of King William as "Hill-Billies" and "Billy Boys"--Billy being an abbreviation of William. It is believed that the term "hillbilly" in the United States was conferred during the early 18th Century by the occupying British soldiers as a carry over from the Irish term, in referring to Scotch-Irish immigrants of mainly Presbyterian origin, dwelling in the frontier areas of the Appalachian Mountains. These Protestant Irish colonists brought their cultural traditions with them when they immigrated. Many of their stories, songs and ballads dealt with the history of their Ulster and Lowland Scot homelands, especially relating the tale of the Protestant King William III, Prince of Orange.

I didn't know that....and I could be considered one, having been born in West Virginia. But us Wheeling folk considered southern WV to be the real hill billies.

On topic, I don't listen to rap music. Its one genre completely absent from my iPod.

Thanks for all the clarifications... hihi... just wanted to check whether anyone of you (especially Americans) have heard of him yet.

To me he is the next big star who will become famous in the land where dreams can come true. I just love it that he is coming from where I live... ;-)
