#bigandrich #reaction Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Big & Rich - Save A Horse [Ride A Cowboy]! Hahaha Join this channel to get access to perks: / @blackpegasusraps
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.
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.
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.
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. ♥️🇺🇸
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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."
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.
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.
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. You literally will listen to ALL genres . Thank you for bringing educational and often HILARIOUS content ❤ Congrats on new baby girl 🎉❤❤ .
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!
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.
You would also love “Rolling” by Big and Rich featuring Cowboy Troy as the band introduces him to the audience as the only 6’5”, 260 lb. Black Rapping Cowboy!! Another Fun Song!!
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.
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!
Many years ago I got to meet Baxter Black at the Stock Show in Denver. He had bumper stickers that had that exact line at his booth. This was way before Big and Rich wrote this song.
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.
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...
Can't we all get along and make music, so true. If it's a good song and you like it play it and sing it. I grew up with classic Country, Motown and jazz in my formative years and the only "rock" we listened to until i was a teen was Elvis
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 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.
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!
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
Great reaction as usual! other songs recommended by Big and Rich cast "8th of November", Gretchen Wilson "here for the party" , Cowboy Troy "Hick Hop" "Playin Chicken with the Train"
A couple of years ago Rich was the pre-race concert for the Atlanta 500 NASCAR race. Im a disabled ver and was up front and got to speak with him after the show, hes a seriously nice, sincere, down to earth, Christian boy (I'm old 😊) and treated me with respect and as if hed known me for years. Good dude. It *IS* a rap video, yup, a country rap video.. Just accept it and breath. And the. very first rap video according to the definitions set forth to qualify for a rap video was in the 1950s in the original version of *Hot Rod Lincoln!* so listen to it and react to it and the 70s version that hit by Comander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen. 😊
Awesome they are true patriots ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸🇺🇸 This was filmed on a pedestrian bridge over the Columbia River @the foot of Broadway in Nashville. Happy Independence day BP 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙
For some country rap try Jason Aldean " Dirt Road Anthem " or Carie Underwood ft Ludacris with " The Champion ". This will be on you workout list. It will get you pumped up for a workout.
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
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.
These cats are inclusive! Check out “Rollin”! That one features Cowboy Troy spitting bars in 2 languages! Also you didn’t notice at the end of the video it said “Music Mafia” which consists of Big and Rich, Gretchen Wilson, Cowboy Troy and some others! They are kind of like the modern day version of Country Outlaws of the late 70’s-early 80’s!
It's just got to be one of my all time favorite songs as well as the whole cd. Every Sat during the summer months I would load my niece(5) and her brother(7) and their two ponies and we would head to the horse show. The first thing in the truck "Play Big and Rich" and so i did and I had the best couple of summers of my life with those kid and Big and Rich. So glad those kids didn't know what they were singing.
These guys have a great range too. They have party anthems like this, but they also have really serious stuff, like Holy Water, which is about domestic abuse, or the 8th of November, which is a tribute to veterans, focusing on a specific battle involving a friend of theirs. A rabbit hole worth going down. And they were part of the "Musik Mafia" in the early 2000s -- a group that challenged the boundaries of country music, and incorporated other genres, as you mentioned. Well worth looking into.
love your facial expressions 🤣🤣this song was and still is a wonderful upbeat country song that gets the toes tapping and heads bopping 🤣 GREAT REACTION B.P.
Back in the 90's was a band called Blues Traveler. The lead singer was a master of both hermonica and rap. If my memory isn't mistaken his best rap was in Run-around and next was Fallable. Edit: Now that I looked Blues Traveler up on RU-vid to confirm which one had the best rap in it, it might the song "Hook"
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.
