[@ebear4015]

America is not as divided as the media wants to portray it as such through the lens of politics. Media does this because it attracts viewership.

[@q_rockz]

We created the genre after all lol

[@boatswainsm8]

@@q_rockz 🙄🙄🙄… black folks swear they’ve created everything, but can’t seem to maintain their community or build anything 🤔

[@ijeleanozie]

I am a Nigeria parent, yes, we grew up on country music in the heartland of Africa. Kenny Rogers, Dolly Patton, ....... and the rest of them. We were so much into it- all about Economics and colonialization. Econo

[@noneexistent2781]

no you didnt, you guys copy everything BLACK AMERICANS do. You guys have no CULTURE

[@NIO623]

Kenny Rodgers, Juice Newton was on replay in the 80s on NTA station in Enugu. 😂😂

[@darthdurkelthewise320]

I’m a Woodbridge, VA transplant and as a 52 year old metal and jazz head, I’m pumped to finally see an artist this truly unique and original come from NOVA. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Shaboozey genuinely gives me goose bumps everytime I listen to him. It genuinely feels like the start of something new and I love it.

I just watched Shaboozey's video for the first time today, OUTSTANDING! You could play this song in a hip-hop club. I can see see folk swinging to this. And the hook "everybody at the bar getting tipsy" is classic. I wish you much success young buck.

[@Whoisshe7575]

It used to be. Heck PWC used to be rural not that long ago

[@GaPeep]

I have my daddys Charlie pride record box set. I'm was born in Tennessee, raised in Georgia. One thing about country music it tells a story.

[@pnwcruiser]

I've seen a lot of black reactors on KZbin enjoying country music for years now. They've been introduced to the remarkably diverse genre, and more, by their subscribers. More often than not country music is about home, heart and soul which anyone can relate to in their own way. In my experience most of the people who claim to hate country music have never actually listened to any of the great many artists with country in their soul.

[@kinggk1832]

Everytime he says EVERYBODY WANTS BEEF I lose it 🤣🤣🤣

[@brittneyrobinson2761]

[@rolandakor861]

Americans don`t know country music is very big in Africa. Don Williams, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Jim Reeves, Skeeter Davis. They are very big in Africa. Old school country is very huge, We love the story telling,

[@diese1rikan1]

Damn, this is funny, me and him lived in Woodbridge at the same time, I'm just way older than he is lol!

[@muddymikey3]

crazy dude is from woodbridge .. im sure ive ran into him back in high school and didnt know it

[@naturallyshaq3679]

Not true black country fans are everywhere

[@patricianocerabrandy4190]

woodbridge nj love

[@truethots3088]

With a Nigerian parent I'm 100% sure he is well educated.. you must go to school before deviating into anything especially the arts.lol

[@kia8750]

I live in woodbride now but I am from Alexandria. If you dont know anything about dc, md, arlington, or alexandria in this area, then woodbridge seems like a small town. Nothing to do. I lived here as a teen but couldnt wait to get back to alexandria. Woodbridge was too slow for me. As an adult i like it.

[@frozencatcher]

Country music is rap!! Or Rap is country music!!

[@royramirez951]

Ok... I do like the lil history lesson he spittn. That was interesting. Ok..dude not that bad after all.. lol

[@Camryndawn22]

[@AvaSession7Ex]

Surprised there was no mention of Charley Pride.😕

[@whoknowsidont.5147]

Beating around some bush. He won’t say something. But what’s the hidden truth.

[@whoknowsidont.5147]

Hyper sensitive. Always at 100

[@bimini1216]

Country has roots in black music. Oddly if you know history (Thomas Sowell) black American music is actually rural back woods English music. The rural English who came to America were poor and they mixed with blacks in culture. They created American black culture together. Blacks and whites crested country music

[@whoknowsidont.5147]

Dillon yuk

[@whoknowsidont.5147]

White moms are the same way. That’s wierd

[@matthewquattrochi161]

Country music is great…..it’s also a way of life. Skin color irrelevant!
