    I remember long road trips with my parents and hearing country music in the car. By my teen years, I rejected country for hard rock and heavy metal. Dance & rap came around 16 because that's where you met girls. I find myself going full circle back to country as an adult. I like other music too! I'm often in the mood for Pink Floyd in the morning, AC/DC in the afternoon then Waylon Jennings before bed.

    I met Darius Rucker almost 26 years ago. This is the most down-to-earth, humble man I've ever met! So far my favorite "celebrity" I've met!

      Yes he is an awesome down to earth guy, I met him in the 1980s, he doesn’t fit the narrative for the fake news and media as far as race goes! He sees no color he is just a great person! I didn’t object who he was when I met him, just got to talking about a lot of subjects and enjoyed the charisma of his personality! Just a great well mannered normal guy! Very talented!

    Darius is the coolest because he’s unapologetically himself. He blindly peruses his interests and lives his life on his own terms.

    Darius Rucker, Charli Pride, Nicky Guyton and Jimmie Allen all have been influential for other country musicians who are black people.

  • @petmensan

    I love Darius's music, but I'm surprised he feels he faced oppression. He is one one of the most successful musicians ever, its like Taylor swift saying she would be more successful if she were male. I mean how much more successful can you be?
    I was definitely a fan that had gone from Hootie to country and was very happy when Darius showed up.

    • @OakwiseBecoming

      Because if you’re black and got and successful off millions of white fans supporting your work, you have to find a way to play victim. Just to prove you’re still black.

    Music is music! Don't matter ! I know a couple of black friends listen too country but hide it! Lol i just laughed and dude its just music! They say don't tell ! Lol its silly

      Jon, I say right on to what you said. I love country music unapologetically! Dolly, Kenny, Willie, Charlie & more. It's been a part of my life, all of my life. Music has no
      color. It brings
      people together. Music is oneness
      of mankind.
      It heals all of the
      stuff that people
      have used to separate us as human
      beings. Much respect to you Jon. Keep walking in the light
      Bru🤗

    Good singer. Not a huge fan of country. I have always liked the messages in country music.
    Anyone hating on someone for their skin is ignorant. I love alot of "black" music.
