Why are you people in the west so obsessed with race? Who cares what color the person is. I swear western leftism is trying their hardest to keep racial division alive and rampant. Who cares! I think black people in your countries need to take the first step, they can't speak one sentence without talking about color skin. Go to Brasil where everyone is one people but your US bullshit spreads like a disease.
@@caseyweber4503 they don’t need to have the same sound. they’re both black artists in a traditionally white genre and they deserve recognition. why are you so mad? lol
There are generations of black cowboys. He sings country better than some well known country singers. Big fan!! New favorite song!!! ❤❤❤❤. Beautiful voice!!
Fun/sad fact the word cowboy was actually used for Black enslaved ranchers first, but then transitioned to White ranchers as well. Since Black males where not seen as adults they called them boys hence the word cowboy. Also, country music along with most music genres were started by Black's, but were soon dominated by Whites because of the heads of the music industry.
@ wow i didn’t know that part of history. Thanks for sharing. I only knew about famous black cowboys and the ones that continue their family legacy these days in certain states. But that makes sense that the sad slavery part would be used to tend for the ranch while the white men went to war. It still bothers me that black cowboys still faced discrimination even as free slaves. You would think there would be a code of honor no matter what.
I love Charlie Pride's music! I was very sad when he passed away. I remember how hard it was for him to get accepted by the country music community. I was a kid then. But Charlie developed a lot of really good friendships in the industry. I really like Shaboozey, too! His song Highway is very good! 🤠👍🏼
People waking up to country being purely American and not about color is the best thing to happen in music, possibly ever. If you're American, country is for all of us. Love and story telling is what its all about. God bless all
Just like how "Rich Men North of Richmond" speaks to us all. We're all American, and need to keep the goobermint goons from dividing us based on superficial things like skin color. Music is universal.
Darius Rucker, Jimmie Allen, Charlie Pride. Kane Brown are all artists of colors all of them Grammy winners! I love what’s happening in country music! All is welcome!
@@JanetOstermeyerI was responding to his comment that he’s never seen people of color in country music and I was pointing out that there were many out there that are amazing. You don’t know me so don’t assume I was making a comment about race. I was simply pointing out there are amazing artists out there if all colors and that is amazing that more people are turning to country music and discovering. Chill. Geez.
I usually hate pop-country, when I heard this dude sing at the halftime show Thanksgiving Day I stopped what I cooking-- this guy is badass. Love his music and what he brings.
First heard the whole tune today, he was on Lions game halftime. There's this black dude singing tipsy and the whole mostly white stadium is going CRAZY ! This just an old school hit song, everybody gets off.
I just saw him on the CMA singing this song and I’m…. This white 57 yr old woman …… is OBSESSED with this song and I can’t wait for more of his to come out!!!!!
Im.58 and my family doesn't want to.hear it ...i played it over and over in the house in the car in the shower ...now i.know all the lyrics they telling me to stop singing😂
He grew up here in Virginia with country influences then in his teen years loved hip hop. He took them and blended them in the most ingenious and original way. He has basically invented a whole new genre.
It is a great song, and the song is very energetic.I saw him during the halftime when the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears played on Thanksgiving Day.The crowd went wild when this guy performed that song. Wow.
It's def country and Shaboozey is what Lil Nas X wishes he was. Shaboozey is from Virginia and listened to country music introduced to him from his dad who originally lived in Texas after migrating from Nigeria. His southern country roots are showing up now for sure.
@goarmysleepinthemud. I don't really think that's the case lol. He's very gimmicky and hops to new shock tactics and changes a lot to try and stay relevant
Charlie Pride won a Grammy in 1972 (if you’ve never listened to him… good, ole classic country!) and then Darius Rucker in 2013 for Wagon Wheel… cause that song was EVERYWHERE. Still is sometimes! lol Several nominations for artists and then awards for writers too.
@imakimmy2 Whoa there lil buckaroo!! The Grammy comment is in response to CHASEYODREAMS question if this could be the first black country Grammy winner.
I'm a Nigerian, but didn't even know that he was Nigerian American at all...I just fell in love with his music... Wow his name is Collins Obinna Chibueze...wow that's awesome
You must not live in the south and you must not go to bars or clubs! This song plays ALL the time and dj’s in clubs remix it with J-Kwon’s original “Tipsy” and it’s a whole vibe. Everybody loves this song!
I’m loving that country music is getting the resurgence and acceptance by everyone it deserves. For too long it was relegated to only a few people, and most forgot that it is supposed to be the music of the everyday person. It’s got history in blues, Cajun, Tejano, and gospel. It’s awesome that Shaboozey is bringing this back! Hell yeah y’all. Let’s grab a drink and have a party!
Its because its a remake of tipsy. Songs mad old now so you dont subconsciously remember it, but its there. Sounds familiar, but just can't put your finger on it.
@SAELIOSMUSIC just had to look that up and can definitely hear it too now that you say it. Feel like that's how all these newer hits become popular. Just samples of older stuff
I am 64 years old and the reason your loving this and dancing to him is simply because he is insanely fun and in the unstable world we now find ourselves living in , well this is just pure goodness .
I just seem him watching him doing the half time game I really ❤ this song I'll love to see him preform one day I'm blk man 71 yrs old I always ❤all kinds of music .
Hi, it is the first time I come across your channel. I don't have much to do with songs much, but you right it got me. It would take lot for me to he is great 👍. And I found video on it great.
It's funny, I just listened to this song yesterday and your reaction is so fun. It's a pretty classic country bar song, simple tune and lyrics, deeper message. The reason people like this song is because it's cathartic af. Everyone has troubles they can drown in some Jack. Gorgeous fiddle, fun references to some classic hip-hop songs, good vibes.
He grew up in Virginia. He is not the first black man to be in country music. All his music is amazing. And this is one of the most fun songs. Look up the story about Jack Daniels and Nathan. I believe that is a reference to the history of Jack Daniels. Charley Pride ad Darius Rucker both won grammys for country music.
It makes sense, when you think about the history of country music, how this fits into that American experience. It started with people who emigrated to Ireland from the borderlands of Scottland and England, tired of a life in a place full of conflict and following a promise of a life that did not materialize from a government that just saw them as colonizing fodder. They mixed with the Irish population, but found themselves with a religion that didn't fit with the local Catholic majority and were being pressured to become Anglicans by the government that had already showed they were nothing more to it than useful fools. So, they emigrated again, as the Scotch-Irish, to the American colonies. Their descendents ended up in places like Appalachia, living a hard life that at least offered some independence in choosing the kind of land no one wanted to fight them for. Country music came from roots of dissapointment, hard times, being underfoot and out of place, being caught between identities and through it all just wishing to be left alone long enough to build a life and get by. It has sounds that long after a peaceful life and a contented home from people who knew peace, contentment, and home are never found for long this side of the grave. It's a cousin of the blues, and the two dance well together, and a song like this hits that place deep down in the human experience that takes any moment it can to be happy to be alive, the part that knows joy never lasts for long, and that you have to grab and hold to it when it comes along.
I asked my grand-daughter if she ever heard of a song on top hits for 10 weeks and she said ya , so I asked her to show me. Ohhhhh I love this song ! Makes you want to get up and start moving......good lord!
My sister played this song every day when I went on vacation with her, and now it's stuck in my head. Kind of reminds me of "Rich Men North of Richmond," considering the mentioning of growing financial problems.
He grew up in virginia, he mixes country with americana and rap, he is very talented singer/song-writer, i recommend lisyening to let it burn and anabelle by him as well, he is so good
Shaboozey is Nigerian-American: Nationality Shaboozey was born in Woodbridge, Virginia to Nigerian parents. His father is a farmer who went to college in Texas. Ethnicity Shaboozey's last name, Chibueze, is from the Igbo language, which is spoken by one of the most prominent ethnicities in Nigeria. The name means "God is King". Stage name Shaboozey's stage name comes from mispronunciations of his last name. In high school, his football coach called him "Shaboozey" instead of "Chibueze" and wrote it on his helmet. Shaboozey says he thought it was cool and played it up. Shaboozey's musical journey has been influenced by his Nigerian heritage and his love of country music: He was inspired by hip hop music videos on 106 & Park. He was inspired by his father's cowboy style and love of country music. He developed a love for country music because of its similarities to West African culture, such as the folk tales and storytelling. He attended a boarding school in Nigeria, which deepened his connection to his Nigerian roots. ❤ "Don't be Confused... "

With the same song, yes. Darius Rucker had number 1 on the pop with Hootie, and several number 1 country songs by himself.
Good for him FINALLY
darius rucker and charlie pride deserve their flowers for country
And Kane Brown… especially with Gen Z!
@@SimonRiley3443 most definitely.
I believe Charlie pride paved the way for them.
they ain't even similar, lol really gunna compare him to Darius lol really bro
@@caseyweber4503 they don’t need to have the same sound. they’re both black artists in a traditionally white genre and they deserve recognition. why are you so mad? lol
Real country fans give them their flowers. Especially😊 Charley Pride, who’s an absolute legend in country music.
There are generations of black cowboys. He sings country better than some well known country singers. Big fan!! New favorite song!!! ❤❤❤❤. Beautiful voice!!
Theer have generations of black cowboys that were not singers out west all men were measured by there worth. The free black man excelled.

Very true. I appreciate you acknowledging that fact.
I LOVE THE BLACK COWBOYS! Oh my, good Lord! OH AND THE BLACK RODEO'S Country folks freeknic! 😆
Charley Pride was the first black country singer to win a Grammy
everyone forgets about him but he was a legend in the late 60's early 70's
Wish they'd make a movie about him!
I was thinking the same thing when he mentioned a Grammy.
I love Charlie Pride's music! I was very sad when he passed away. I remember how hard it was for him to get accepted by the country music community. I was a kid then. But Charlie developed a lot of really good friendships in the industry. I really like Shaboozey, too! His song Highway is very good! 🤠👍🏼
@@sjjb6780 that would be amazing! I wonder who could play him in the movie.
He just won the People's Choice County Award!! Yeah Baby!! Play it Again!! 💪😄
People waking up to country being purely American and not about color is the best thing to happen in music, possibly ever. If you're American, country is for all of us. Love and story telling is what its all about. God bless all
Truth. Love & helping your brothers & acceptance is the country community
definitely. it's exactly what we need in the world right now.
100%
Just like how "Rich Men North of Richmond" speaks to us all. We're all American, and need to keep the goobermint goons from dividing us based on superficial things like skin color. Music is universal.
Apparently it's insanely popular in Sweden and the UK as well. Think it blew up over there first which is funny.
I am a 63 year old white woman and I love your channel! Thanks for all you do!
I hope this young man, goes far in country music.
This song is addicting and sticks in your mind.
Darius Rucker, Jimmie Allen, Charlie Pride. Kane Brown are all artists of colors all of them Grammy winners! I love what’s happening in country music! All is welcome!
Let’s not forget War & Treaty now!! Love all these artists
And Cowboy Troy.
Why is color always so important to put in your face. Enjoy him singing, he is good and a human. Stop the race thing.

The best reaction video for Tippsy! "We need more of this!"
He just had 3 encore demands at the stampede! Best concert I have seen in a while! The cowboys and cowgirls sang every word
SHABOOZEY IS 🔥 FIRE
Yes he is!!!
Country Music is drawing more and more black artists!!! Thank God for the awesome additions to great music.
Country music also came from black people.but it was dominated by white people.
@@leontaecoleman3644 true but like in life. Life goes different blacks when to rap whites to country but nice to see people trying different things

It’s just the coolest song… like it’s kinda of country, kind of pop, it’s not vulgar, it’s just fun. 😄
Im.58 and my family doesn't want to.hear it ...i played it over and over in the house in the car in the shower ...now i.know all the lyrics they telling me to stop singing😂
its like potatoe chips u can't stop listening
He should win every grammy award whole album is amazing 🔥🏇🐎🐎🕺🕺
@ yesssss exactly
He grew up here in Virginia with country influences then in his teen years loved hip hop. He took them and blended them in the most ingenious and original way. He has basically invented a whole new genre.
How do you NOT love this my gosh! Detroit is bumpin right now!
Still bumping lol banger
I’m from Thailand I love this song very much very much ❤❤❤❤❤
I feel the same way as you, crazy how music can reach around the world. Best wishes in your life. Peace from Michigan, USA.
I felt the same way when I first heard this (and even now). It is hard to NOT move and sing along. Such a catchy song. Love him!
It is a great song, and the song is very energetic.I saw him during the halftime when the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears played on Thanksgiving Day.The crowd went wild when this guy performed that song. Wow.
This is just the coolest song… like you can’t NOT like it…
Very well done!!!
🔥 💯
This is the BOMB song! Can't stop listening to it.
I love this guy and this song. No way you can not turn the volume up and dance in the car seat while driving.
Hell with that, windows down singing at the top of my lungs!
Hell with that, karaoke at the bar with everybody clapping!
Loved your commentary! I can’t stop listening to this song. Shaboozey should have won a CMA award or two! 💗 🤩
I didn’t watch, but he didn’t get any?
@@ellakersey1214No. He sang, but didn’t receive any awards. Crossing my fingers he picks up some Grammys in February. 🎉
The vibe is that this is America and its beautiful!
It’s a very entertaining song; the halftime show on Thanksgiving Day featured this song, and the entire stadium was rocking!✌🏿
Shaboozey is the absolute best thing to hit country and mainstream music I love him and I don't drink❤
I love watching reactions to him :) absolutely love this song
He's from Fairfax Virginia, more specifically Woodbridge...the outer suburbs of D.C. so yeah definite southern vibes
I used to live in Woodbridge it ain’t that southern. In fact they used to call it hood bridge
Your reaction 😂 I LOVE IT!
To me, this is when country and hip hop get get married!❤🔥🔥🔥
Tanner Adell brings the two genres together really well also. ❤
I’m a 67 black lady , I love this song !!!🎶 🎶🎶🎶❤❤❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You're HOOKED! Just like the REST OF US😂🎉
He's song has been living rent free for a month or two haha
It's def country and Shaboozey is what Lil Nas X wishes he was. Shaboozey is from Virginia and listened to country music introduced to him from his dad who originally lived in Texas after migrating from Nigeria. His southern country roots are showing up now for sure.
definitely. This is like crack to me lol.
This nigga gonna change the game. Ohh my Good LORD. 😅
I think Nas X is pretty secure in who he is mate lol
@goarmysleepinthemud. I don't really think that's the case lol. He's very gimmicky and hops to new shock tactics and changes a lot to try and stay relevant
Country is not race driven. It's a way of life.
Charlie Pride won a Grammy in 1972 (if you’ve never listened to him… good, ole classic country!) and then Darius Rucker in 2013 for Wagon Wheel… cause that song was EVERYWHERE. Still is sometimes! lol Several nominations for artists and then awards for writers too.
This song is about drinking and partying. Not about Charlie or Darius? Why bring RACE into at all.
@imakimmy2 Whoa there lil buckaroo!! The Grammy comment is in response to CHASEYODREAMS question if this could be the first black country Grammy winner.
Africans are banging the music scene with Afro-beats and now country music.
Africa to the world 🌍 Igbo boy❤
his album is soo good!!!
He’s a Nigerian American but grew up in America
Virginia
That's country!@@RasLesGoldcoastnupe
I'm a Nigerian, but didn't even know that he was Nigerian American at all...I just fell in love with his music... Wow his name is Collins Obinna Chibueze...wow that's awesome
That makes him a Nigerian-American, or American if he grew up in America and is a citizen. That's not Nigerian. 🙄
@TheWrightDev916 so cos I grow up in the states, my Nigerian DNA gets wiped out?
All my uncles, cousins in Nigeria now no longer have my DNA? 🤷♂️
Shaboozey voice hypnotic
You must not live in the south and you must not go to bars or clubs! This song plays ALL the time and dj’s in clubs remix it with J-Kwon’s original “Tipsy” and it’s a whole vibe. Everybody loves this song!

Its because its a remake of tipsy. Songs mad old now so you dont subconsciously remember it, but its there. Sounds familiar, but just can't put your finger on it.
there is a sample of the original wonky synth from Jkwon Tipsy in the 2nd & last chorus it’s like one note but it’s there

I have NEVER seen a blind reaction host have so much fun! 😂dance
It's funny, I just listened to this song yesterday and your reaction is so fun. It's a pretty classic country bar song, simple tune and lyrics, deeper message. The reason people like this song is because it's cathartic af. Everyone has troubles they can drown in some Jack. Gorgeous fiddle, fun references to some classic hip-hop songs, good vibes.
Best song ever heard in a long time the lyrics the beat makes me dance every time never gets old thank you for making us dance Shaboozey
This song is nice, it flows and its fun. I love it. I'm down with Shaboozey
Bro pause as much as needed haha. The reaction is what we liking. Keep up the fire videos!!
He grew up in Virginia. He is not the first black man to be in country music. All his music is amazing. And this is one of the most fun songs. Look up the story about Jack Daniels and Nathan. I believe that is a reference to the history of Jack Daniels. Charley Pride ad Darius Rucker both won grammys for country music.
The people in the background 😂👏🏽👏🏽
This song is soooo much fun- such a catchy tune- Fire indeed!
I'm so glad it blew you away!!! It's awesome!!!
Your reaction made me smile sooooo much!!! I'm so happy right now😂

Love this. Thanks for bringing this to us.
This is just a YES❣️ talk about a song that brings everyone together 🫶🏽
Just enjoy!!! Cheers!!

Country Music has its roots in the black experience.
Country and hip hop just roll with it it flows! Fire!
@ChaseyODreams Congrats dude, you are now a country music fan
Awesome song and looking like they had a ball making this video.
I asked my grand-daughter if she ever heard of a song on top hits for 10 weeks and she said ya , so I asked her to show me. Ohhhhh I love this song ! Makes you want to get up and start moving......good lord!
Ayyyye we finally got round to him🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾 Can’t wait to see more reactions
It’s got a beautiful flow in any genre
My sister played this song every day when I went on vacation with her, and now it's stuck in my head. Kind of reminds me of "Rich Men North of Richmond," considering the mentioning of growing financial problems.
Great reaction! Fire song & video. #HOG
He grew up in virginia, he mixes country with americana and rap, he is very talented singer/song-writer, i recommend lisyening to let it burn and anabelle by him as well, he is so good
