COUNTRY RAPPERS CHALLENGE TRACY BYRD
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Wireless Flash) The future of country music may be determined in a high noon showdown between a country rap duo called the Southern Rap Commission and singers Tracy Byrd and Mark Chesnutt. Rappers MC Wild Turkey and Gangsta Tea are challenging the two country stars to a sing-off to prove rap can be country too. The southern fried feud began when Byrd and Chesnutt released A Good Way to Get On My Bad Side, which includes the line: There ought to be a law against cowboy rap. Turkey and Tea saw the song as an attempt to oust them from the country scene and now want fans to decide their fate in a televised showdown. Byrds publicist says his client hasnt accepted the challenge yet, but is up for it as soon as a day, time and place is set.
