[skillmat25]

[HOBRedlight]

"If we generate enough money we can get him a guitar" this guy needs a house and a record deal already !

[CreativeMusicians]

[xodancer183]

[pawsofmusic14]

@xodancer183 it's on tylerwardmusic

[EvertCoMusic]

It's close to Arbys and Pizza Hut?? :D

[LAtoyboy]

It gives me hope there are people like Tyler Ward.

[oporuka]

those 4 dislikes are also homeless people with guitars and they are just jealous! XD

[BirdOfJove]

What a shame, someone with God given talent living on the street, but what's worse is a man whose applied this talent and still has a hurting stomache. What happened to 'the industry' or worse to peeps buying the garbage

[MrUrmother22]

@BirdOfJove Its now a industry of cool... music is dead... or dying very fast.... people are so narrow minded these days... look at it this way... the less people understand about TRUE music i get better concert tickets!!! lol

[HisLoveStreet]

[aaliceelin]

I don't really have a e-mail adress, aaaww!

[xHalf]

I wish their were more people out there like tyler

[tomwolff0]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but how is Tyler selfless? He's masquerading as a hero who rescued a homeless man while blatantly promoting himself through these videos. Dred Scott's videos have more views than any of Tyler's other videos, before and after. If he was really selfless, wouldn't he just post these videos under an account created for Dred Scott? Record a homeless man, infinite publicity, free face time ... sounds good to me. But who cares about Tyler? This is not his story.

[listenearin]

@tomwolff0 His videos actually has more views than you think and it would be harder to find people to watch Dred Scott's video unless it wasn't already on a popular, and older channel right? I understand how you could've seen it in that way but dred scott's song is on iTunes which would generate more money than youtube (if people, like you, would buy it). And Tyler seems like a genuinely nice person. :)

[listenearin]

@tomwolff0 oh ya his main channel is Tylerwardmusic

[ZackBrule03]

This guy is AWESOME!!! Much respect to you for not only looking out for your self!! There are GOOD people in this world!! Helping others feels better than helping your self!! Go out there and make a change!!

[rainraven100]

tyler get ahold of tiffany jo allen hook em up

[celinne700]

Wow...this man's music is awesome. I felt my pores raise when I heard him for the first time.

[MichelKerkmeester]

Give him a house and a contract already!

[BennyjMobileDJ]

just bought this of itunes. amazing this guy needs a full album

[FindingRoberto96]

And I didn't think I could love Tyler any more...

[albinocanadian]

i just bought his cd! like like!

[robyabLe1]

2 Persons dont are normal and dont know the real talents !

[boykidman0506]

Let make the Dred Scott the new golden voice by showing all your friends...

[JesseMTV]

Maybe you could record a couple of his originals on iTunes to post up i have the EP and love celebrate the summer rain what if you guys brought him to the studio and did some songs could that work?

[jelleeee3223]

dude got a new shirt and mic at least...does he have his own spot now? sure hope so

[cfmcgraw]

So if I can't get Dread Scott on ITunes now where can I get it?

[KanXibChaac]

I met this guy in Denver in May as I was walking down dt. sat down with him somked cigs, talked about music, heard him play THE BEST "love me two times" cover. bought him lunch and talked about life. One of the best persons I've met in my life. SO TALENTED

[dbradbury89]

hmm should we start a petition for iTunes to sell the Dred Scott EP??

[Malestorm87]

who the f*** would deny a homeless man's amazing musical ability to be sold on itunes !?!? theyre freakin trying to help a guy out!!

[13bunnyslippers]

he is like that guy who was homeless and had the great radio voice

[Be4TinGyoU]

If he was that generous he would be putting him up on his couch!

[Be4TinGyoU]

Would like to see him clean shaven, keep the dreads tho.

[renegarcia1993]

hes got my full support when i get money ill buy his album

[AngelaBrooke28]

@renegarcia1993 Sadly his album isnt selling anymore for legal issues, like it says in the ending. But its awesome that you still want to support him <3

[carlsburgh]

respect to u tyler,for giving this fella a chance in life

[Dequda]

dred scott got a video.. its calles "dred scott - back in the day" on vintagehiphopseattle's channel.. thats not the only one, he got much videos, sorry if i don't know, but was he ever famous?

[UncleSaat]

@Dequda And just for your information, those videos you mentioned were from other people who also used the name Dred Scott. Do your research before spilling out gibberish.

[UncleSaat]

Thumbs up if you supported the talented Dred Scott.

[Dequda]

@UncleSaat thumps down for a stupid post ôo

[UncleSaat]

@Dequda You must be a sad, sad person. But I am sure that one day, when you need help and you do not see someone reaching a helping hand towards you, you will realize how important some small gestures can be to the life of an individual. So thumbs down to you, for your inspiring post thumbing down those who at least took the time to help in the way they could...

[streetmusicmafia]

You are a saint tyler...really are...not many would have the decency to even look at him and you not only did that, but you gave him your time and basically gave him some sort of inflow of money...saint man, saint.

[panzieeyes]

I am praying that this video becomes a huge success for Dred Scott, and a even bigger success for Tyler Ward. Dread Scott is wonderful and he deserves to be noticed...but Tyler Ward is the real hero in this video. Tyler if we only had more young people like you, willing to give someone else a leg up then this world really would be in a better place.

[ShamieWoW]

I just saw you on the news! Tyler i love you!

[MisaMisuMajide]

This is so nice -3 i think im going to buy

It tomm

[MatteSweden]

Guys, please join my Dred Scott Fan Page on facebook! Means a lot to me and probably even more to Dred!

Thanks! =)

Just search for "Dred Scott Fan Page"

[zPrecluded]

Everyone needs too buy some songs!

[MRPopplemouse]

If this guy got a place to live and money He would be back out on the street performing and doing what he is happy doing.

Felt sorry for him? Tyler tha'ts a little egoic of you.

[forending]

@MRPopplemouse eh fucker can u just fuck off if u are gnna hate on tyler cos hes just being generous to others, so if u dont like it, which i think is fucking retarded, can u be so kind as to FUCK OFF and watch some other videos. thanks(:

[MRPopplemouse]

@forending

No hate intended to Tyler.

All I was saying is that people often think that they know the best for people and this stems from the egoic mind, looking out from ones self and comparing themselves, its quite natural, but the trick is to see ones self doing this.

My point is this, does this guy need tylers help? would it change the way he is (i doubt it) he is a born performer and would continue to entertain the average guy on the street.

I wish you and them the best

[063421341]

@MRPopplemouse stfu gtfo out of here you scum... This guy is homeless he needs the support he is a good singer he needs the support... Stfu

[MRPopplemouse]

@063421341

And sadly from your reply you are clearly of low intelligence.

[lukereynoldstube]

I want to see Epicc get together and do a track with Dred!

Can you make that happen PLEASE!

[lukereynoldstube]

This guy is a weapon both musically and emotionally

Homelessness is a real issue in most cities but not everyone makes attempts to break it!

[LilTati]

This is so amazing. So much life in his voice! Im going to promote this video and his Itunes as much as I can! He is such a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing this!

[kojmas]

looks a little like Busta rhymes

[TASBullit66]

dude his voice when talking sounds EXACTLY like jamie foxx's character in "the soloist"

[dazevans1]

You've got a big -3

[MrMagician874]

the two idslikes has no motherfucking hearts. they are not educated

[DiYaJu]

Wow. It's great how you try to help this guy, and he is so amazing. Everybody has to feel how he loves the music.

[xKinderRiegel]

You did a good thing, Tyler. This is why i respect you and your work. You're not one of those musicians who want money. You help others. And this gives me hope (:

[Scassell927]

I wish there were more people like you in the world. Then maybe there wouldn't be so much hate. You have inspired me to look deeper into the music that i play and write. Thank you for giving my life a new, better direction.

[3KS26]

you're a good man Tyler

[RouvensMusic]

Dred Scott is an amazing musician! I instantly bought all his songs on iTunes. Hope to hear more like this very soon! Also thanks to Tyler for supporting him.

[Birchfield90]

you should definitely invite him to do a cover with you.

[MsAnela808]

I just noticed his name is Dred Scott. As in the Dred Scott case of slavery.

Anyway, this dude can sing and Tyler you have a big heart. <3

[nwdancer003]

@MsAnela808 i was thinking the same thing about the Dred Scott case :)

[wgn9777]

you should feature him in one of your covers

[4lifejkmusic]

two people have no souls

[DramaticDragon23]

This is amazing! I would love to see the music industry do more of this and help people reach their dreams and be able to live their every day lives with pride!! That man is truly talented! <3

[marinelovesuperman]

tyler youre so cool!

[DWLitsLila]

You inspire me so much...

[wgn9777]

i think you should make him a facebook page and maybe but his songs and videos of him playing.

[Hollywoodgirl1010]

I love the way tyler says dred scott :p

[TrentakaTheNightmare]

Tyler is an amazing person and a hell of a guy hes selfless and helped sooo many people to get out there and introduce their music and talent to a broad base of people. thats why i love his channel and videos and im gonna keep loving them. your a great person Tyler keep it up

[i0am0aries]

hey dude..let him sing breakeven by the script for his next video..fits with his voice..

[InMemoryOfUs]

Sounds like you're making a Dred Scott decision...

[anonymity87]

how many songs does Dred have? just the Purple cover??

[PrisonerofSasskaban]

@anonymity87 He has an albumn up on iTunes ("Live from 16th Street Mall") that has Purple Rain and six other covers.

[tbor1277]

got teary eyes... really cool

[JulaEntertaiment]

I'll buy a Itunescard! And by the song 15 times°!

[deenie5325]

i actually see no reason at all to dislike this video. tyler is just talking about how he met dred and how he will help him. and someone dislikes that? i don't get it.

[Kellee956]

how can someone dislike this ????!!

[TobiCokeZero]

He is a lot more better than 90% of all guitarist in this world.

[vAniiLLaEsSeNCe]

Tyler, you are amazing.

[DiionneFOOL]

You are my rolemodel Tyler Ward.

[101paramoreluver]

I wish Youtube could show who dislikes videos so i can curse them out.!

there's always that one person that dislikes everything....

smh :/

[lclakaiguy]

[97loser121]

I don't care if he has done drugs, or was once a felon; every man has his bad times and skeletons. This guy has heart and passion for music, and he has pride in himself. May the best of luck go to this guy.

[greenartt123]

This is an awesome idea. I admire you Tyler.

[KirkyDaTurkey]

I have never appreciated you more than I do now bro, glad to see you be a blessing in others' lives=)

[YeraEnde]

That's so cool he did that!

I had to laugh at 1:27 was that eppic at the right? (:

Haha.

[BobbyMalteada]

I must say, if there only be more people as generous and selfless as you are tyler, this world would be a much better place

[Combatbootlove21]

I do believe you have the biggest heart I've every heard of anyone having Tyler Ward. what a man you are!!

[Ihyrsm]

If everyone were like you Tyler! You are such a good guy!! 

[chocochipcrayon]

Ah, Tyler, you're awesome. I have listened to him downtown before too... a corner on the 16th street mall. he is amazing! Good for you for putting his music up- what a good idea!! =]

[nariklv]

[juulexyz]

[234Hannilein]

More people need a heart like yours!

[Oursong2341]

He never fails to amaze me, he's so kind and warm hearted, i almost cried watching dred's video of him preforming. Why no one has ever helped this amazinglly tanlented man out before i will never know. Well done Tyler for bringing this talanted man to my attention!

[TheForeverGC]

Thank You TYLER MUSIC. You ARE the INSPIRATION.

Unlike @AustinMahone selfish's bullshit.

You're what TRUE MUSIC is all about. LOVE.

[Roct92]

Please update us when you hit the first milestone in terms of purchases! Would be amazing to hear how much we're helping

[danicalifornialove96]

God Bless Tyler Ward ♥

[Horns1091]

Wow your so nice to do that for him. God Bless You Tyler.

[jsnyd32]

This is so incredibly awesome! The cover of "Purple Rain" is great! I really hope this helps him.

[MacSnob03]

your such a nice guy tyler:)

[elliebugg1]

God has blessed you, and it's so awesome to see you bless others.

[TheLaneyWoods]

You're amazing. God's light shines through you T. Ward.

[magicharry17]

just when i thought you couldn't get any cooler...

[danielscheerleader]

This is beautiful. It really touched me.

[The0311tech]

This is amazing Tyler. Most people just walk by, you stopped and found a way to help. Now it's our turn as fans of music, to help by purchasing his music of iTunes.

Keep up the great work and music.

[kristikrause]

great what you did Tyler!

[jhoetjes]

I do believe this individual has extreme talent, BTW.

[jhoetjes]

I'd like to be positive. Let's be realistic though. Chances are this individual has substance abuse problems. Buying his wares will probably go towards destroying him. I find that enabling a person like this usually ends up ultimately killing them. Money is not a good thing to give to those with problems. You need to fix the problem first. Then get the money flowing.

[3timeMVPNash]

@jhoetjes That is why the money is going towards food, clothing, etc, and not just giving him the cash straight up.

[deedlebag]

@jhoetjes "We won't be paying him in cash, but we will be using it to provide food, clothing and more as long as the tracks keep selling." - Tyler Ward

[jhoetjes]

@deedlebag.. yes, but once he gets going and is able to have money flowing and no longer "needs" tyler he will , as history has shown us over and over, destroy himself. god only knows, I wish I was wrong.

[AKKodiak1969]

@jhoetjes God Lord, what kind of person are you? I was raised that if you can't say something nice about someone, you don't say anything.

[jhoetjes]

@AKKodiak1969 I'm sorry if you misunderstood my post. I am not saying anything "not nice" about the gentleman. I am merely saying that history and odds are against him. I am a realist. I am sure will agree with me, If this man became successfull and had lots of money available to him, the odds of him spending the money on alcohol and,or other substances is very high. We have seen this time and time again with celebrities that had abuse problems in the past. Money is not a good thing for them.

[AKKodiak1969]

@jhoetjes Maybe, but not necessarily. Don't condemn someone before you give them a chance.

[dccarino]

@jhoetjes You don't know that. You are sealing this guys future based on OTHER peoples past experiences. And not all people destroy themselves. Where is your faith? You could be wrong...or right. Only time will tell.

[jhoetjes]

@dccarino Given money, the odds are against him. I am only stating that. I do have faith. I have faith in numbers as well. I pray for this individual to not fall into the pitfalls. I would, however, being a betting man that I am, not bet money on him staying clean. In fact I would, as I think you would if you were forced to take a position, bet against it. as you say... Only time will tell.

[JuggaloKai2010]

Tyler you are awesome! i was raised in Denver for 14 years and seen alot of homeless people with signs asking just for a couple of bucks and most people never give them the couple bucks but what you did was very amazing!!!

[k8lun28]

Tyler Ward, you are an inspiration.

[Txio01]

You so nice :)?

[AngieDreamz]

He is my favourite featured artist!!! EVAAAAAAAA

[KATOMATE01]

please we want more from dred scott!

[NeroDeCastro]

AMAZING!! most people dont even talk to homeless people

[EricTaylorP]

Wow... you and your friends are just AMAIZING and have a really HUGE HEART...

I will definetlly suport him on iTunes and i will tell my friends to do it too... and that 1 person who dislike the video... has  no heart... Keep doing things like this...

[BenderAllison]

Who the F*ck DISLIKED this?! :O Okay...I've heard people saying "Oh 23 (random no.) people missed the like button and pressed dislike" But Seriously The person that disliked this MUST of missed the Like button. There is no way you could dislike a video like this. Tyler and Dred Scott you guys are AMAZING!

To the person who disliked this: Did you sneeze just as you where pressing the like button but pressed dislike by a mistake? ...easy thing to do. :P

[MRdrummerboy619]

@BenderAllison why did you hide the "U" in fuck? we have democracy on youtube..

[BenderAllison]

@MRdrummerboy619 Because I Don't Like To Cuss...What Are You Talking About "A democracy on youtube.." ?? :S :/

[MRdrummerboy619]

@BenderAllison it means that people dont give a fuck if you insulted or not lol...

[BenderAllison]

@MRdrummerboy619 Ehh...Okay? But I Didn't Insult Anyone....

[killieboy3]

htuhnjfrekjfmerl



[hduscio08]

Wow. Tyler is a good man. So rare. How inspiring and beautiful! If more people were like you I think the world would even just for a moment pause so we can see the beautiful things around us.

[RManneeMusic]

@bumblebeatsHD people could steal the money easily

[tymanrules]

Tyler Ward, not only do u have a part of my name but you are also a very cool man!

[ThePianoShack]

In FULL support of this!!!! :)

[lindathao29]

soo nice of you doing that for him!

[TuttiFruttiMarmelade]

So amazing, that you did that :)

[agva2010]

you're an angel Tyler

[jynx2004]

@BumbleBeatsHD He just said he doesn't even have an email address. He's homeless, which means he doesn't even have a bank account.

[PuscheY4]

I Hope the Money from ITunes really goes to him ! ;)

[SofiaLovesBarca]

tyler, you have such a good heart <3

[rarekip5]

Tyler, you're so great and you really have a heart. Who in the world should do this? Only you tyler, and that's the reason I like you so much.

[HaleyPlusJess]

Is there any way to just give money, rather than buying his songs?

[DoctorYuro]

there's always that one person who dislikes everything >:(

[ticklingtheivories23]

This is such a great idea! What a great way to help him! :)

[IamaLaura]

You are a good-heart Boy :)

[labellooos]

i really hope that he get so much support!

[Becca150694]

truly inspiring!

[Feliiful]

wonderful

[00guitarguy00]

I gotta get an itunes card. Put up more of his stuff.

[iluvmusik145]

That was sweet. Off to buy some songs. :D

[AngelakaJennifer]

Amazing! tyler is such a good guy!

[ShephardEffect]

You are amazing Tyler!

[billabong72000]

Purchase complete! Excellent Job, Tyler. This is just one more example of the power of the Internet and YouTube.
