The Official Summer Song of 2024. His actual name is Collins Chibueze, born and raised in Virginia to Nigerian parents, his friends growing up couldn't pronounce his name right and kept calling him Shaboozey, which he kept as his stage name.
Baby country came from the community. Many don’t know the history of cowboys and that country is loved by so many races. I’m a Jamaican but baby pull out some Twain and watch me get on that dance floor 😂
Man, i am a 40yo dude who doesn't sing and absolutely cannot dance, and this one had me full on doin both alone in my living room, smile from ear to ear. Sitting here watching a bunch of these reaction videos to it, and they're all awesome; having the same reaction i did, haha. Love it!
I feel like the most powerful part of this song is not the incredible amount of catchiness that the beat and vocals have, but the extremely high level of relatability it has for the blue collar man or woman. Everything he says in the opening verse is so relatable that its almost painful, especially in the current economy. The hook playing off J-Kwon's 2004 smash hit Tipsy is relatable to anybody in America Between the ages of 25 to 50, and maybe even 60 or 70. The average American person in that 25-50 age bracket knows what it's like to live a life like this to some degree. We've been cold. We've been hungry. We've been broke. And people tell us to care about things that are well beyond our control. We will seek out nights of alcohol induced surges of dopamine to feel better in the moment because we know that "Monday" is around the corner. It's a horrible way of living. This song really encapsulates that "hamster on wheel" feeling and the pain that comes from it. All of that being said. I think I've watched like twenty reactions to this song at this point from content creators from all across skin color spectrum. You're the first black creator I've seen that said that they genuinely like country music. Other's have liked the song, but openly stated they were not fans of country and would turn it off if it came on the radio. I believe your statement about this, and I subscribed immediately because of it. While this song is absolutely incredible, and will undoubtedly be one of the best 100 country songs of this generation I don't think it can be labeled the GOAT just yet. Shaboozey has a bag full of bangers though, and they range from that same country twang to raw trap. You should check out "Tallboy" and "Snake." These would both be great for a reaction. His parents are Nigerian immigrants and his father is a big fan of Kenny Rogers and that's where his love for country music came from. I would love to see you do some more reactions, to all genres of music. I think there's a few country sleepers you could peep too. Some that I would recommend that a lot of people overlook are "Kate McCannon" by Colter Wall. It's a sad song about love, and murder. Another good one is "Turtles All the Way Down" by Sturgill Simpson. This one is wild, and it's about smoking weed, tripping on mushrooms and acid, meeting Jesus Christ, The Devil, Buddha, Aliens, recognizing your own mortality, and the life saving effect of love. You'll want to have the lyrics for this one, because it's a pretty wild ride, and the music video feels like you're tripping on a fist full of drugs that no song from Future could come close to touching.
Man… Sub 138 here. You got a great style. You get the video you’re reacting to to sound like it’s supposed to sound, you could get big. I love your energy, but as someone who’s kinda an audiophile, I like the sound to be HQ. Other reaction channels sound just like the video. That’s my suggestion. Looking forward to seeing more content.
