Darius Rucker "Exodus"

[25Michael]

I can't exaplin it to myself how some shallow piece of crap could get +500 mil views and this beautiful piece of art just 150k... I don't want to live on this planet anymore, seriously!

[09keymon]

I have always love Darius. He can sing to me anytime.

[zaireadamslive]

this is quite good. a surprising departure from the hootie stuff. he is very talented. but, comparing his vocals to a prince, MJ, Stevie, or Marvin? Please. He's a solid singer for sure, and his songwriting is excellent. I am willing to let him have his place as a good to great artist, but he isn't on that level yet.

MJ became a HUGE pop star after thriller (which was what I call an assassin album it was built for what it achieved) but he was already a star before then and it was for his talent

[kylepsmith21]

For those of you even mentioning rap... that's not music. Darius can do it all.. to mention people like Maxwell and Anthony Hamilton who are isolated to one genre, is such a joke. MJ was a popstar and a sideshow clown.

All hail Darius & Hootie

[kboogie827]

THIS IS ONE BAD DUDE!!! DARIUS SINGS FROM HIS SOUL, AND I DONT CARE WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC HE SINGS!!! BIG FAN HERE!! HAVE TO GET THIS ALBUMN!

[hdaustonmoving]

Smooth!!!!!!!

[shelmarie87]

HOT DAMN this man can do it all, for sure! Rock, Soul, R&B, Country, a small dash of Jazz... OMG his voice just drives me crazy! So soulful and warm and sexy... I don't need a man in my bed, just my ipod + Darius! Of course...Darius himself would be nice. Hey, a girl can dream!

[Magsec50]

Darius Rucker is literally the best vocalist in this world to me. There is no song, any genre that he sang, that you cant instantly connect to! He can sing any style his heart desires!

[Jsteinreed]

This shows what a great artist Darius is, he has the ability to move in and out of music genres. Many have tried but few has succeeded. I am always amazed by his talent.

[believe157]

This is amazing. I'm getting this album. 

[GCHarrison5662]

great song !!

[disturbance511]

Ya I just downloaded this mp3 at soundnabber..com

[hjohannak]

solistista ei voi olla tykkäämättä, mieli tekisi mennä ja kiittää häntä olemassaolostaan

[123ULISES123]

ha ha ha.. i never knew this was hootie.. lol.. all i knew was darius rucker.. wtf?? now i feel dumb.... ha ha ha.. fkn hootie. lol

[Thearl]

Thanks for the post.

[Thearl]

Thanks for the post.

[asianmanMLK]

So we got alot of people that are pissed at me because i say that he's the Best African American Singer ever, Is that not true? Because i really think that he is. Not just that if you are against me the fact that i dont like Rap Music then dont watch this MV and go listen to your RAP Music.

[vonieb1]

Just another one that shows how awesome this man is.

[tandaman538]

I like his country better but he can sing any genre with ease, Hes awesome

[62289randymoss]

some artist are in music for the money darius rucker would still be singing & playing guitar in a bar in carolina if he didn't make it, everything he puts out he puts all of what he has into it that why his music is so incredible, just listen & sing along. GOD bless him.

[smr124]

I can't believe I'm just discovering this song/album. Simply beautiful.

[Nytro41]

This song is taken from the album "back to then" which is also another hot track along with "wild one", "sometimes I wonder with Jill Scott" and "this is my world" Yes, Darius can do it all, however the album was slept on.

[goodwrench838]

what album was this on?

[Lesliegilda]

I love this song. This is my first time hearing it.

[chrisheino1]

This guy is so talented! He can do it all. Love this song.

[muldooh75]

I dunno how this song didnt get any airplay.

[mykalroze]

I agree. I like this album,and this song is my favorite track. In terms of quality and emotion, this song's great.

Radio has really gone down into the abyss, and so quality songs really don't fit in anymore. It's unfortunate that his debut solo album seemed to be slept on.

[muldooh75]

I agree, Radio is straight garbage now, I remember when u needed talent to get a record deal. I guess its the nature of the beast, we will always have to weed thru shit to find jewels like this.

[mykalroze]

And not only did you have to have talent, but you were also given time to grow, develop as an artist. Nowadays, it's all about what sells, and as an artist, you have to sell NOW! There really are fewer and fewer true A and R people. There are just bean-counters who only care about how many units a CD will sell, not how good the music is. Ever since the mega-companies started merging, forming huge corporate labels, quality's gone out the window. Greed sunk music, and sunk the economy.

[cyrus067]

@muldooh75 agreed. why have i not heard this song on the air yet?!

[ha11ett323]

This song is the shiz nic

[naskreukbale]

Talented dude

Loved his solo work and Hootie stuff

[brahmans13]

yes he is from south carolin and the lead singer of hottie and the blowfish love ya darious and you familly country gal

[mrcook1424]

deffinetly a better country singer, maybe its just because i like country better but i donno lol

[jasperpaws24]

Hes lost some weight since then.

[Raedreams54]

This song is so rich and variable, it's like a sweet taste in my mouth listening to it. It shows his range from soft to powerful. Love this man. He is an original, with his own special style.

[dogtownyoyo]

He can do anything check him out at the Bob Marley tribute concert singing a Marley cover!

so Talented!

[gessed]

Yes!.That is the bottom line. Talent.

[phantoms10zr2]

this guy is very respectable

[GermanSniperBayArea]

he did the hootie style, R&b, and country. hes a very diversified singer.

[zhockeystix]

he used to be from hootie and the blow fish look them up

[asianmanMLK]

Well my bad.

[FCnewyorkESC]

homo^

[asianmanMLK]

Best African American singer ever. Way better then all them gay rappers.

[donlawson5]

U SAID IT

[CharlesRichland]

@asianmanMLK

Rappers aren't singers. That's like saying Metalica rocks hard and way better than madonna. You're an idiot.

Darius Rucker has always been one of my favorite singers, but when it comes to "African American' singers, to say he's the BEST EVER just makes you sound like you have a small library of music. Micheal Jackson, Barry White, Whitney Houston, Patti LaBelle, and that's not even counting people younger than him like Jamie Foxx who can sing in so many styles. Wake up!?!

[asianmanMLK]

@CharlesRichland Dude, if u havent notice, no gives a Shit about your stupid comment, not just that you are right about one thing though. Rappers arent singers, but where in my comments did i say they were? huh? Im an idiot. Well Charles i think you should read ppls comments before you reply because you really make yourself look like a dumb ass here on you tube. BTW Tell your mother your daddy say hi, Behave son.

[CharlesRichland]

@asianmanMLK You're funny. If you didn't give a shit about my comment, you wouldn't have responded to it! Moron. And to top it off, you add a pathetic, 'yo mama' joke. It's sad. This is what people stoop to when they can't win an argument. If i was there, i bet you'd get really loud and storm out the room, convincing yourself that you won the argument.

"Best African American singer ever. Way better then all them gay rappers."

What a dumb thing to say! But it's way better than gettin raped!

[LUCKY7189]

@asianmanMLK LOL hell yeah

[Krunked101]

@asianmanMLK Thats an ignorant comment to make....

[asianmanMLK]

@Krunked101 How so......? You dont think hes the best African American Singer?

[nwamoney]

@asianmanMLK

I'd have to say ur pretty retarded if thats what you think...

[asianmanMLK]

@nwamoney Your Mom must of Gave birth to you standing up because you sound like u bump your head pretty hard, haha if you dont like this song then dont listen to it no ones making u listen to it, go listen to your Crapping music haha.

[nwamoney]

@asianmanMLK

when the hell did i say it wanst a good song? man u need to pay attention to the comments...ur retarded

[wilcoxaj73]

@asianmanMLK thats a bold statement, think abiut marvin gaye or even barry white... those kinda guys

[aadams127]

@asianmanMLK why does he have to be the best african american singer? why not just a good singer? i mean his race has nothing to do with his voice...

[waflikky2]

@asianmanMLK well as long as darius doesn't rap then you can't make that comparison, it all depends on personal preference for now, cuz probably if darius wanted to rap he would kick their asses xD

but right now you can't say he's better cuz he doesn't rap, yet he is soooo gooood I enjoy his music all the way too ;)

[hdaustonmoving]

@asianmanMLK I agree!!!!!!!!

[blakdog90]

@asianmanMLK best AA singer ever................. i don't know about that. maybe some rappers.

i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume you got caught up in the moment.

[MrTotally11]

@asianmanMLK C'mon now, best? Anthony hamilton, Maxwell, MJ, to name a few. Like the other poster said, maybe you got caught up in the moment.

[AlaskaGirl1920]

Damn, is there a style this guy can't do? Although I agree, he sounds better as a country singer or back with the Blowfish. But still, he sounds pretty darn good here.

[machockey1414]

wow Darius has an amazing. when i first heard him on the radio i thought this is amazing singer. i love his music

[antiembishop07]

This is a great song.

[joedajewandtwiddy]

he should have stuck with this kinda music he dont belong in country

[kawana87]

are you kidding.. the man was made for country! 2 #1 songs in his first 2 albums??

[garseven]

wow all of his music is great I think I am in love!!!

[Gr8vel]

Country music allows the tones of his voice to be heard. He has a n awesome voice, and this music kinda plays over it. Kinda sounds like luther van dross singing with Metallica.

[sampson821234]

A country artist that sounds like Luther Vandross with Metallica, huh? Wow. Terrible comparison.

[Maria2blue]

LOL.....I agree. It is a terrible comparison

[JohnRhysMusician]

I like the country stuff more.

[kazcamaross]

Great song. Darius you will always be able to sing whatever you want and make it sound great!

[Bigatari]

I didnt know there was a video for this song.. Its great.. Thanks for posting it!!

[nolesfzan]

hes a good singer. some people on here are absolutely unreal. how can you post something like that. jmena232 your going places in life man. wow

[hbous]

excellent vocals, the choir blend is perfect! bravo

[fred414141]

the world will be a better place without you in it,if we're lucky,that will happen real soon!

[jannie003]

i think ur fucking retarded for being a racist!!!!! Oh and by the way you're a stupid prick for calling someone a cunt for their opinion. You're a real jack-off!

[justiceishot]

what the hell is your problem anyone can sing what they want go to hell dude the w.t.f your a real dumb a**

[brandonshall]

I'm a huge hootie fan. But this was not one of my favorites

[1998disco72]

He can so anything!!!

[18Ty18]

yeah country where he at. but thats interesting he did this before country

[jdsanchez473]

i agree there, i had no idea about this. Its insane how he can write/sing so many different types of music...

[SethFridley]

I DEFINANTLY agree with SBTGOG89

[CandaEH]

i say his vocals give alan jacksons a run for the money

[mysticism9]

i saw him with hootie and the blowfish in new hampshire hampton beach casino last year

he is an awesome singer,maybe the best ever

[skansaka]

the man voice rocks .... excellent mellow sounds

[32bigtime32]

the dude has mad vocals! love this jam.

[compuzen]

I live in SC not too far from where Hootie and the Blowfish started. They've been possibly my favorite band since cracked rear view. Darius has an awesome and flexible voice and writes awesome and touching songs. If you ever get the chance to see him or Hootie live, you owe it to yourself to go. They have been together for almost 20 years and still put on one of the greatest and most fun live shows you can go to. Ever August in Myrtle Beach, SC at the House of Blues they play a great show.

[rogerssnowangel]

lol..i remember being in columbia right before they hit the big time....i saw them in maryland right after and you are right...darius and the boys put on one of the best shows i have ever seen. his voice is just insane...i can't get enough of him...

[nickcigich]

I don't know what it is about this guy, seriously. Hootie is probably one of my top 3 favorite bands of all time, I love this song, and I love his country songs (even though I'm not even close to a country fan).

I can't think of anything this guy has ever done that I don't like. Unreal talent, thanks for everything Darius

[zachballard2011]

GAYY this song sucks to me

[ifwewerecats]

I still think about you, and all the songs you introduced into my life, i want it so much to run, fly away, it all shattered and dreams fell apart.......

i wil miss you the rest of my life.

i want it you to be the one

[swampfox320]

Seems like anything he touches is golden... Hootie is still my first love, all those guys are fantastic!!!!

[BonanzaObsessor]

He's great in this, but he is so much better as a country guy!

[andywmoore]

What a voice! It has to be a gift! Love it!

[chrischoi55]

this guy is amazing! people need to recognize!

[twisterjay28]

hootie is a reject

[jd131m]

Alternative rock, country, AND soul/R&B! is there anything Darius cant do?

[bonebrotha21]

classical? lol kiddin

[jd131m]

I dunno man he may be able to bust out a chello on the spot and play it to bring tears to our eyes lmao

[pedro0688]

If this guy was any more talented it would be against the law. . .He is the only guy who could write a song in every genre and it be good. . .Kid rock came close but this song had so much soul to it what a talent. . im just mad that hootie is done. But at least darius is still doing his thing

[bburns604]

the most talented and most versatile singer of the last 15 years. everything he does is great!!

[muldooh75]

Damn good song, too bad the radio is filled with so much crap we don't get to hear stuff like this anymore.

[tionitaylor]

You haven't heard of Darius Rucker? He's the guy from Hootie and the Blowfish... remember them?

[NeverAloneForever]

Not bad. Just heard of him. He's great.

[allmysorrels]

I love him and I think all of his stuff is ahhhhhsome!

[MarineLifeRescue]

Not as great as his other songs, but it's good!!

[tanjentsdotcom]

Not as good as youtuber BoyNamedFuture Video.

Never.

Not by a long shot.

Search it.

[yelhsalm]

[kChaleunsouk]
