Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Big & Rich - Save A Horse [Ride A Cowboy]! Hahaha

[@joeeccles985]

The black man leading the marching band is Cowboy Troy. His stuff is really unique. Check him out.

[@alexhaas9653]

Yeah, he had some fun tracks. "Hick Chick" is my favorite. Great video as well, but sadly not up on KZbin...but on other platforms.

[@ST3W4]

"My Last Yee Haw" is another good one by Cowboy Troy. And "If You Don't Want To Love Me" is good too

[@RoGueNavy]

"I Play Chicken With the Train"!!

[@alankohn6709]

I play chicken with a train is one of my favourite songs it blew me away the first time I heard it

[@kittyrx7guy]

Big and rich live at the CMA with cowboy Troy "rollin" is my favorite.

[@christinegreen3974]

This was the Big & Rich era! It was in the times before everyone was offended by everything. Cowboy Troy, the drum major, and Gretchen Wilson were also part of this crew. Miss these days - they had a different sound.

[@KittyDillion]

Truly. The music was great until the whiners came along.

[@patriciaroberts308]

Gretchen Wilson, she's FABULOUS!!!

[@jefferybaker6992]

it was called the "muzikmafia".

[@gayl7645]

Everyone was offended back in those days too, you just forgot.

[@shanedaley6236]

And two inch Fred I have one of their released concerts and he's just hilarious on stage

[@christisheeks6334]

When John Rich was on and won "The Apprentice" he raised over 1.2 million for St. Jude's Children's Hospital! He seems like a helluva nice guy.

[@dakota1836]

I loved that season, still remember it.

[@lawwdogg1digr]

Rich is a class act! A national treasure.

[@SassyIndian]

I remember that season ❤❤❤

[@janyceseahorn4013]

Oh man, I was so wrong! Thank you! But they are outrageous but now I get it!

[@danmullins8480]

With the 4th coming up, I would suggest reacting to Big and Rich's song '8th of November'. It's a true story about a squad of boys dropped in the jungle of Vietnam.

[@firedoc5]

Beat me to it. LOL

[@thecasper911]

Kris Kristofferson does a real dramatic somber intro as well!

[@aura81295]

8th of November is a commemorative date given in the song title. Perhaps better suited to 4th of July might be "Independence Day" by Martina McBride? Both songs are excellent IMO.

[@brianclassen5221]

While you are at it have some of John's bourbon Redneck Riviera is so good. Keep it freezing cold and enjoy. Welcome home vets.✌

[@RayBoebel]

Beat me to it as well. My first thought when he was talking about this was...He needs to listen to 8th of November

[@jadefire1814]

Your face tho!! 😂 "Oh they *ARE* sayin' what I thought they was sayin'!"

[@moidawgmom_9020]

Gretchen Wilson “Here for the Party”. Country gal that likes to have fun 😂

[@Daniel_Davis79]

I was about to leave a comment about her lol, she is a heck of a singer

[@CrossBorderCamping]

She likes to have fun but her part of the concert we went to was the worst, unfortunately. I think she partied too much before they started.

[@donna7059]

Or Redneck Woman

[@patriciaroberts308]

She's FABULOUS!!!

[@davedave8602]

@@CrossBorderCamping funny, I've seen them twice and had the opposite happen. Gretchen was great and Big & Rich were toasted, especially Big Kenny. They were still entertaining, but the longer they played the more incoherent they became.

[@AnnaMarie66]

John Rich is a true Patriot who donates so much to our Veterans! He has a Bar Called Whiskey River after HIS brand of whiskey he donates massive amounts of its proceeds to the Vets. ♥️🇺🇸

[@dakota1836]

Love that!!

[@corycody6967]

And he did the song, End of the World with Tom McDonald.

[@michaelmount662]

John's whiskey & bar are Redneck Riviera, and both are fantastic!! Whiskey River is Dale Earnhardt Jr's bar

[@melissawood1506]

Omg, I knew this reaction wouldn't disappoint 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Gulicktheemu]

This is the same John Rich from Tom MacDonald’s “End Of The World”. #hangovergang forever 🤙🏽

[@carolyne8797]

I was just going to comment this ❤#HOG

[@RayFranklin1975]

Me too 😅😅

[@dogsoldiertoo1099]

John has a new single soon to release called "Revelation". It's based on the Bible book of Revelation.

[@luvdatbud]

Another reason why both songs are freaking terrible 😂

[@WJSuarezMA]

John Rich was also the original lead singer for Lonestar.

[@turbine1ify]

You got to check out "Cowboy Troy". He's in background of this video. He's a performer with Big and Rich. He's right up your alley.

[@allenruss2976]

John Rich and Big Kenny. Always a fun time. Toby's song came out yrs before this. You should check out Toby and Willie doing Whiskey for my men beer for my Horses. PS. Love Cowboy Troy as well

[@dandrew4938]

Oh ya, that's a fun video

[@rhiahlMT]

"8th of November" is one of their songs that is a MUST!

[@andrewdrexler6593]

Big and Rich are a big reason that I started dipping my toes into the country music genre. From what I understand, they were refused by labels in Nashville for not being 'country', so they gathered up other artists and formed the MuzikMafia. On another note.... Holy Water is a beautiful, meaningful song. You should check that out.

[@deltadaze6836]

Ahhh! HOLY WATER is a soul-wrenching piece -- especially since Big wrote it for his sister...I just jack it up every time in the car!!

[@stacymoore7348]

I love Holy Water. It breaks my heart every time I hear it.

[@dubyabee7963]

"8th of November" is a must by Big and Rich.

[@jvsmith7888]

Big & Rich are Big Kenny Alphin and John Rich. They are a popular duo in country music and are also a very successful songwriting team. They are also producers and do some artist development. They are Nashville mainstays and like to push the limits at times. This song was their first hit as Big & Rich, although both of them had, had previous success with other music acts. They also do more traditional as well. Check out a song called "Look At You."

[@kellymckinney9050]

John Rich is a amazing songwriter. He writes for several artists as well. Above all that, he is a patriot!

[@alexhaas9653]

This was huge when it came out. Loved it instantly. And what a crazy video. John Rich does some great stuff solo as well. The song (with its great video) "Shuttin' Detroit Down" is a favorite of mine.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Oh I love that song n video, heart breaking because the situation was so real.

[@barryturner3932]

Kris Kristofferson is awesome in the video

FYI Rich did a song with Tom Macdonald.

[@IvIidnight]

"Hip Hop invented stunting in music." 😂😂😂 Bless your heart.

[@alarrim29574]

😂😂

[@chadbruce1457]

This is a great example of Country Crossover from a different angle. Tongue and cheek sexuality with a great rock groove (as in Van Halen's Hot For Teacher) steeped in rap... What fun! It's as though the crossover folks were afraid to do this until these guys came along. Cheers!

[@michaelphipps8647]

Big & Rich are way underrated!!!

[@smitty60-su2xf]

The look on your face was priceless dude lol...

[@southrnsweety88]

You gotta check out "She thinks my Tractor's Sexy"

Tennessee native here and I looooove this song so much. Nashville can be so much fun if you can avoid the recent troubles downtown. Love 2nd Avenue and Broadway.

[@Teresia12]

Yup! Hello flow Tennessean!❤

[@dakota1836]

Dig a little into this group, they're something. Very patriotic. And John Rich is a heck of a business man. I love their Com'in To Your City.

[@janetg3984]

This doesn't mean what I thought it meant...eyes BIG...' I shoulda been a cowboy.... ' 🤣 I haven't laughed/snorted in awhile 😂 I just LOVE your content. Your reactions to Falling In Reverse brought me here over a year ago... and here I always come back to. Your open-mindedness is just so refreshing these days.

They have a few great tracks as well as helped Cowboy Troy and Gretchen Wilson (the girl on the tractor) get their careers going.

[@pisces228]

John Rich, the man in the yellow shirt, is such a good man. A true patriot. Very down-to-earth. His song and video with Tom Macdonald was a wonderful collaboration. You should check it out.

[@betsybabf748]

I love this song and support the message 100%.

[@kathryngrenier5362]

The look on Pegasus’s face while that song was playing is priceless. 🤣 I will say, for anyone who is interested to know, that Toby Keith’s song “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” was released on Toby Keith’s 1993 self titled debut album and was chosen as his debut single. Big and Rich released “Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)” as their second single from their debut Album ‘Horse Of A Different Color’ in 2004. Their first single released from the same album is titled “Wild West Show” and was released back in December 2003.

[@boywonderrr71]

Thank you

[@markwise9138]

This is back in the day of what was called the Music City Mafia. A group of country musicians and comedians who worked the clubs around town. It's members included, Cowboy Troy (the black cowboy), Two-Foot Fred (the midget), Gretchen Wilson, and Big & Rich.... At times Kid Rock would join in. Amongst others as well.

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

:D One of my favorites. Another is "Beer for my Horses" (lol.... this wasn't a '70's thang y'know. This came out in the 2000's).

[@vickihoward406]

I was a bartender in a small town in Ohio when this song came out.. We had a blast with this song. Big and Rich are Great...

[@markconn4167]

Dude thier concerts were epic

[@susangardner8108]

Hadn't seen this in ages, thanks for the reminder.

[@horseygirl645]

The title of this song was actually a pick up line that John Rich (before he was married) came up with one night in a country bar in Dallas. John Rich is a great song writer and has written songs for other artist. Two songs that are 180 degrees opposite are “Lost in This Moment” which is played a lot at weddings and “Holy Water” which is about domestic violence against women. Big Kenny’s sister briefly appears in the really moving video because she had experienced domestic violence at some point. The song called “The 8th of November” is about a real soldier who was shot during the Vietnam war.

[@angelaward7624]

Love! Whoop Whoop! I’m up dancing!,, 🎉🎉😂😂😂

[@stephenglogoza6423]

This the same John Rich that did a feature for Tom Macdonald "End of the World" 😂😂 let's go!!

[@rowdy2nite]

Big and Rich were the GodFathers of the Muzic Mafia (Musically Artistic Friends In Alliance) They were rallying against the commercialism of the music industry. Everyone was welcome, from all genres, blues, rock, pop, rap, country, bluegrass, gospel, R&B, and soul.

[@chadbruce1457]

I'm an artist and a musician. In art school we learned that contrast creates interest - dark, light - dull, bright - large, small - rough, smooth, etc. In music, same thing in audio - loud, soft - slow, fast - signature changes, texture changes, etc. What you've got going on here is a HipHop guy reacting (positively) to Rock and Country! Wow! Talk about creating interest through contrast! You got it going on pal! Cheers!

[@creinicke1000]

Love it. I love when the girl ( who looked like a doll) smiled at the end.

[@alisonstephens7930]

Thank you, thank you I haven’t laughed that much for ages and it was your expression that caused it , loved it

[@Chefneilde]

One of those songs that makes me smile every time I hear it.

[@donna7059]

Oh, here we go down the rabbit hole of Hick Hop or Cowboy Rap. This song was wildly popular. Love your comparison to "underground" rap. Is that the older rap music? I have a bit of that on my playlists. And yes, I was a teen in the '70's the greatest music era ever.

[@karlweir3198]

Woo hoo on my playlist already! ❤❤❤❤. Thanks again man for your show

[@sherry640]

I saw Big & Rich live & had a blast! I was not sure what to expect but was stunned by what amazing singers they both were. They made some goofy music but they were excellent musicians & entertainers. 8th of November & Between Hell and Amazing Grace are my favorites.

[@NoNameNoFace-rr7li]

they were teaching a class at a local High School in Brentwood TN about how to write a songs. The song was mostly penned there... they have told the story here locally a few times...

[@roseduvuvuei1360]

Gretchen Wilson is the girl on the green tracker. She, Big & Rich, and the Black cowboy walking were all part of a group, that would get together and write songs together....they were a pack!

[@Shikiwolf]

that was Grethen Wilson on the tractor at the end

[@Laniefj]

A good bar dancing song. What. What!!🎉❤😂

[@Cchan53]

Indeed!

[@CrossBorderCamping]

Definitely check out Cowboy Troy, the leader of the marching band right behind Big & Rich. I was a hard-core anti-Country person that married a dude from Calgary. Eek! But I got him tickets to Big & Rich one year for V-day and I fell in love with these guys...but Cowboy Troy opened for them and I went to the lobby in between bands and bought his CD right then. My fave is Hick Chick's, but I Play Chicken with the Train is awesome too.

[@vickybrackin7483]

LMAO, I bought the T Shirt when it came in the market!! This song was a HUGE hit! ❤😂🎉

[@ronstewart6362]

Everytime my band played this song, it Killed!!! People love fun songs period. Good stuff bro

[@sheilasisk7550]

They mixed it up and made it work. It hit each genre. Everyone was singing it from 12 year olds to 60’yearolds. And we were having a blast

[@JustMe-di7st]

The guy leading the marching band is Cowboy Troy. Check out his song "Hick Chicks". You will not be disappointed.

Big Kenny and John Rich are both amazing people, both donate heavily to charities, both absolutely love America, they both live without prejudice, truly amazing guys

Big and Rich performed at our wedding at Barbara Mandrell's old mansion just outside of Nashville in 2007. It was the height of "Lost in this Moment". Great guys to meet!

[@kaynesheldon4905]

Yess!!! Let’s gooo!!!! They got bangers! Hahahaha. I’m so glad you checked this out. My grandpa loved this song so much when it came out he had to go buy there cd and still has it to this day and plays it in his old truck and in the radio when he’s in the wood shed or the garage tinkering around😂 along with some Andre Rieu but it’s awesome haha

[@thundermite1241]

A more serious song they did was 8th of november its about an event that happened in vietnam where 29 us troops got ambushed by 1200 north vietnamese toops

[@STS125]

8th of November is absolutely fantastic.

[@1vidamc]

Big and Rich have produced such great party songs such as Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy, but you also need to watch the CMA awards where they sang Rollin". Unfortunately that is the only video available that shows this, all others are only lyric videos. But they also produced some very deep heart wrenching songs such as Holy Water.

[@juliagrant3299]

They were so much fun in concert and are really talented artists.

[@sarakaiser3324]

Man!! I saw them in concert one time at a casino I worked at in Oklahoma! It was mid-summer.. hot.. it actually rained for a bit and they brought their crew with them and they F-in DELIVERED! Brought John Anderson as well.. best concert I've ever been too and it was in the damn parking lot of a casino! They're the coolest! They played longer than they needed to and involved the crowd, it was just an all around cool experience. My favorite songs by them are Big Time and Drinking 'bout you. Cool songs to check-out.

Big and Rich started a movement called the Muzicmafia which included Gretchen Wilson, Cowboy Troy, Two Foot Fred, Kid Rock and many others! You need to go down the rabbit hole on all of them. Big and rich had many great songs including one called Holy water. My fav. Gretchen Wilson is a straight badass. Check out All jacked up, Redneck woman, here for the party, California girls, come to bed and tons more. Cowboy Troy is one of the first known country rappers. He has a great song called I played chicken with train. I had the privilege to meet Gretchen Wilson at a country connect. When I was leaving the meet and greet I was the first person out and no one was there to direct me where to go. I stated wandering around back stage. I actually met Two Foot Fred and Cowboy Troy. They were both very nice and have me autographs. Please, check the Muzicmafia out!
