  • I love this guy! He is a true talent and a singer that sings from his soul. I'm a big fan of Merle Haggard and Gens Watson , this giy got a voice and seems to be a great man too.

  • Sweet!

  • he can sing and love his songs.

  • gives me the chills !!!

  • Terrific! I love Darius. No homo. Or homo? He is fine looking.

  • I would hope anyone with a heart and a appreciation for country music or any kind of music would give that a thumbs up.

  • Music is words spoken from the mouth, notes played from our bodies, emotions than come from our soul. In NO way what so EVER should the color of a persons skin decide or have ANYTHING to do with how music is percieved or thought of by anyone on this planet. We should all know that we are all created equal and to never judge an individual based on race or color, but never, ever, should we poison music with it. This comes from someone who's not a fan of Darius, but respects the man and his passion

  • Darius, hopefully is changing the mind sets off country music.

    country music is about white/republicans and military.

    Cowboy troy and Neal McCoy never got true due because they were black.

    I work for a country radio station and they actually had a meeting in rather to give

    darius airplay. they decided country fans were going to give him a shot cause time changes and due the economy that country music was in for a change.

  • @mackshowtyme - Don't forget Ted Hawkins...

  • Hey cool. I was there that night.

  • Watching your videos gives me chills. I can tell you are such a great person. God Bless you Darius! Thanks for the wonderful music

  • Hi Darius,

    My usband is deployed in Iraq and I was wondering if you would like to come to Hawaii in the summer of 2011 for a redeployment ceremony. I made a facebook fan page of you. Would love to have you here in Hawaii.

  • white supremacists...I'm not sure what they play at their barbecues, I'm assuming it's country....(oh, ya, and hardcore, even though the best hardcore band is the bad brains)) because it's so primarily white...it's just cool that a black guy is writing and recording such great country tunes, poor nazis:)

  • Darius Rucker is the best country singer alive. If you disagree then you fail.

  • @EyeronicJoe he is good but your way off u got george stait george jones alan jackson there legends

  • I think he needs to record "Me and God" he is great with that song!

  • I love this man's voice! He is so good singing country and thank goodness he is.

  • if anyone thinks he is just ok they don't know music. He is amazing, he can sing country and rock and the best thing about it is, I mean this in the best possible way but when you here his voice its not a african american singing country or rock, which is rare, you just think he is one awesome singer that you can't help but enjoy and like I said if anyone says its not so they don't know what they are talking about. He has a divine gift. I have been an instant fan since around 5yrs old.

  • I;m so PROUD of this man a fellow SC & gamacock FAN!! love ya, Darius.

    kristi

  • Love this man he is awesome .Hope you'r first day at the grand ole opry went good .What a beautifull voice he has so cute to

  • good for you Darius

  • The last song is titled "All I Want", and it's absolutely amazing, I love it. It's sadly a theme song of mine some days, lol. Darius is an amazing singer, and I hope he releases albums long enough to compete with Aerosmith for longest running performer, lol. Hope this helps.

  • I know the other songs he was singing, but I am talking about the song in the last 20 seconds in the video...

  • The name of the song(s) are "Don't Think I Dont think About It" and "Me and God"

  • what is the name of the song he is singing at the end of this video?

  • I was there!! He was freakin' awesome!! Love his music and will keep listening... It was packed for the CDB, but there were lots of cheers for Darius. I, of course was screaming my head off!! :)

  • i envy you. i live so close (fairview) to nashville but was unable to go.

  • does he have a full version of the me god song

  • I don't think he does. You know that song was recorded by Josh Turner, huh? As you know that Darius is a walking country encyclopedia. He probably knows almost every country song on the radio or recording today. Probably the majority of all the older country that I have ever heard. I just wish I could do a fraction of what he can do. And I can play for 6 hours straight or more without playing the same song twice. God Bless Darius Rucker, he is what country music needed.

  • Thats so awesome! Thanks for your comment because I truly didn't know that! He lives in Charleston, SC and I so want to meet him. Maybe I'll run into him one day and see if he'll listen to me sing. I write/sing country too. (also Black) LOL

  • i dont think so but its a josh turner song

  • Thats a pretty weak thing to say.. Hes an amazing musician and looks like hes doin pretty damn good to me! lol

  • I respect your opinion, but Darius Rucker, like Toby Keith, Tim McGraw etc has his own unique sound and I'm diggin' it! I saw an interview with him and he's an amiable guy, which makes it even easier to like him!

  • I have been thinking it since I heard his first "country" song- this is the same Darius Rucker that was with Hootie. I may hear a fiddle or steel guitar now but he is still himself...

  • dude i cant belive i missed this i liv just lik 30 min away from the grand ole opry and i pass where he was at every time i go to the mall i would hav spent a fortune to c this

  • Darius,you are truly a gift to the music world ! It's so great to see you back on top !

  • Wish I could have been at the Opry that night! Loved watching you with the musicians backstage.Me and God- all I can say is wow!

  • D you are the man, can't wait to see you @ HOB 5/30. Everyone come out and make this a sell out for South Carolina's own.

  • What a gracious, soulful man...I love his voice....makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up...I'll take the phone book sung to me too!

  • Darius could sing the phonebook and still sound great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • saw darius at the opry in sep 2008

    sensational

  • Darius....I've got a song you  need to be singing....contact Jay King and ask about Nic's song! Peace out!

  • I guess I COULD play devil's advocate for a moment and ask what the aussies know about country. What a futile argument that is! I love Keith Urban. But Americans of African decent can't sing country? Listen and learn, brother. Listen, and learn. Let the doors fly open. Rissi Palmer and Trini Tritt aren't singing in vain.

  • Music comes out of our soul, brother. Thank God she gave us music. Thank God I'm free, african-american and I can listen and appreciate ALL kinds of music. I just happen to settle on country. I've always loved it. I always will.

  • I wanted to see the performance. :( Loved it anyway. Congratz. :)

  • ooo..i love hootie again!!!!

  • Praise ON!!!!! He is a breath of fresh air. His writing was great for "Hootie" why can't it work for country? It will!!! He has the "right" soul for it. Country takes a certain type of person. They have to feel it, he does. It works, and so does he!

  • In music if you close your eyes are not, the music comes from the heart and brightens the soul. Color don't matter.

  • @TweakieG Damn two years ago. OB McClinton, Ruby Falls and Charlie Pride had the talent. Darius Rucker doesn t. Wake the hell up. Everything this man does sounds the same. From Hootie to present. He is a wannabe. He will never be.

  • @TweakieG I agree.. but Toby Keith doesn't

  • dont get all bent up on idiots, this country is full of them...doesnt matter what "race" you are. ITS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC..eat the caps ignorant slugs

  • countryFIRSTt you are an idiot. you are the reason people think that our country is full of racist dumbasses and give our great counrty a bad name. do us all a favor and shut your damn mouth or at least think about what you say before you say it.

  • PLZZZZZZZ WATCH MY FIRST VIDEO!

  • nice to see how humble the guy is behind the scenes. there's a reason why he's sold millions of records! all you haters I'd like to see you sell not only millions of records with a band but also out on your own as a solo artist.

  • and if he is married to a white woman what difference does it make?

  • Wow would have loved to see this show @ the Opry!!!

  • i love this guy you are totally my favorite haha don't think i don't think about it is my favoriteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee song evvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvver go on tour!!! and go to beaumont texas :D

  • yep sure. and i'm pretty sure God also didn't intend for anybody to care what kind of music somebody should sing based off their skin color.

    but i dunno, i could be wrong.

  • shit me dude... whats it matter who hes married to or what he wants to be... the blokes a ledge so thats all that matters rite?

  • words of wisdom from the monumentally uneducated. Bet you make yo mamma proud. Go Axe her

  • What an AMAZING artist and an all around GREAT GUY!!! I am so happy for him. Wonderful to see a fresh face to the CW scene! I love Darius's voice! He was BORN to sing country!!!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!

  • FINALY GOOD MUSIC

  • Congrats!

  • you are amazing!!

  • Honestly, I'd never heard him sing before - and I saw his video here and went out and bought the CD the very next day. It's GREAT! Great singer, and songwriter!

  • Man,your voice,your attitude....you are made for country music.Period.

  • this guys made for music in general

  • I don't care what anyone says, the kid can sang! Darius rocks.

  • HE IS AWESOME! That's all I got to say right now.

  • Im tired of ppl talking to eachother on this instead of the video. Darius is good!!!

  • He has such a great voice for country!

  • Darius:

    What a great surprise, a country album! You have a great voice and I look forward to hearing more from you in Country Music!

  • Good for you, Darius. He seems very humble.

  • his voice is really good

  • Welcome to Country Darius, real good song, real refreshing. Country music may get back to where it was a few years ago.

  • great singer as always Darius, I'm a gamecock alumni as well!!GO COCKS. Whom ever that "redstartn" ass is is just jealous of your success! He/She IT can go to HELL.

    love ya & the Blowfish as well.

    kristi THE USC PHARMACY SCHOOL GRAD,

  • Congrats on all of your sucess =) It was great to kind of experience your first time at the opry with us all =)

  • Good stuff.

  • YOU ARE JUST A SICKO-- GO TO HELL--

    are you really that ignorant or just jealous that Darius?

  • i hate racist hicks. what do you get out of it seriously..... nothing. the guy is amazing. you must have liked the song to look him up on here. everyone knows who he is and knows he is black. i guess all the country radio stations are racist . this is stupid. grow up 5/5

  • Amen to your comment. But you know I listened to him for years but didn't buy cd's and watch him on tv, you are probably going to think I'm crazy but I did NOT know he was black til yesterday.But that does'nt change the way I look at him still love his music.

  • I just can't believe some of the posts I have just read. Why all the trash talk and potty-mouth? This guy is good, regardless of his race. I admire him for working in this genre. Congratulations, Darius! You go, guy!

  • Darius - It is good to see you back on top where you belong from One USC Alumnus to another, Roll on brother! - Bart Class of '85

  • Good stuff. Congratulations!

  • WOW i loved him i hootie and the blowfish and now he has come over to country and it is AMAZING!!!!!! love him!!!!!

  • What happened to The Grand Ole Opry being about the legends? It's like now if you have one or two songs out woo you can play there. That place use to be special and a huge honor to play at now its just like any other concert put on.

  • How do you think legends were made the man sings good music what would you rather your children listen to Darius or snoop in reality he is a legend along with Charley Pride and proud to listen to both.

  • He does make good music and has a great voice and I wasnt just refering to just him, all these little new kids out now to that are playing there, and yeah he is legend from his Hootie days but not in country music YET even though he most likely will be, he isnt yet he has like ONE big song out thats really country and yeah great song but still. Love the thumbs down and the comment to MY OPINION when I never said anything bad about him. Keep them coming maybe yall can make my day so far worse.

  • I understand that you did not directly say anything about him but you are on this page that so happens to be were his song is and yes he is a legend now he is one of two black men in history to be INVITED to THE GRAND OLE OPRY and I am not trying to make your life worse I am not a bad person and I hope God blesses you and your family and you are together and happy soon.

  • You need to listen dude. I am white and my best friend is black. The african american race is smarter then whites if you look back in History. You need to read History, and learn something.

  • This is crazy-all the racial talk. i just checked out the video because my friends are big HBF fans-I don't think this is a great song and wouldn't buy it. Nothing to do with race. Have any white supremacists listened to Jimmie Rodgers and Hank Williams, Sr. Then tell me there is no African american influence on C&W.

  • You are awesome Darius, been a fan since the Hootie and the Blowfish days. Doing a awesome job on the country route as well, keep up the awesome work. Oh and Whtmansburden08...go fuck yourself rofl.

  • It's time we beat of all those racists and dump them in the middle of the ocean on some desolated island and plant a sign that says The Past.

  • Another thing if your hate fuels from the Civil War. Get over it the south lost. The Civil War was not even fought over Slavery. General Lee and Stonewall Jackson were far from racist as was most of the south. Get over racism and move on with life.

  • This is sad. Racism is pointless we are all created by God. WHy do people live with hate? I mean honestly it is pointless. If a person can suceed in life that has talent let him. It is racism that causes war, poverty, hate, and everything else that is wrong with this world.

  • Darius has always been my favorite singer. HBF have always been great to see, great to their fans and some of the best guys out there. I have heard the band speak of how Darius has been treated with discrimination on the road, but I never actually have witnessed it. I consider myself pretty in touch with the world today; however, I didn't realize how naive I was about racism until I read some of the comments. Wow, I have pity on those hateful folks. Keep on having a blast Darius!

  • i truly cannot believe ur post. white pride means racist huh? tell me u dont roll ur windows up and lock ur door whnever ur in a black neighboorhood...what is the first word that comes to ur mind when a black pisses u off. i think i know what it is....so do u

  • Like I said, truly sad.... Give this a try, judge people on their actions, all people ARE equal, it's our actions that define us. It's just shows that there are still backward, ignorant people in the USA to this very day who carry on a tradition of hate for people that aren't like them.

    Sad

    Darius, keep those great songs coming, real country fans are LOVING them.

  • It's truly sad that these racists would say such horrible things about a truly great singer/songwriter. I welcome whole-heartedly a black man wanting to bring back and express a truly country sound, not like the little pop-star wannabes of todays mainstream country. Maybe some of these bigots should actually research Darius,find out his story. Dont judge someone on their race,judge them on their art. Buy the album, I did, and honestly its the best new country album Ive heard in a long time

  • u know what is really sad about all this, i look for country music, hoping to relate to my white ppl, i find a video with this stupid monkey and i think most of u will agree with me. its sad we as white ppl dont band together, its sad that if we are proud of our race, then we are bad. whatever happen to white pride? society is so fucking politically correct, u cant even have an opinion anymore. well u all can bash me all u want. ill defend my race til the day i die!!!

  • You're an absolute idiot!!!

  • and ur a race traitor, how about that? all u fucking white ppl against me r really starting to piss me off!!! i guess there are no more TRUE americans left, its actually sad. 50yrs from now ull all be cross breeding with blacks and hispanics and the white race will be wiped out and ur all to stupid to realize what i say, when in fact its an actual fact. dont believe me? google it. THE WHITE RACE WILL BE WIPED OUT, see what results u get....dumbasses, u make me ashamed to be white.

  • Dang! This guy is trying to earn a living putting out good tunes and he catches this mess for it??? Leave this black man alone at least he's one that will work!

  • another race traitor i see...but ur comment was actually racist dickhead. u just said "atleast hes one that will work" ur bascially saying negros r lazy and dont work. so stop giving me shit, ur just as racist as i am asshole. i bet nobody will give u shit though because u disguise ur racism. well im not going to. im white and proud and i have white power. so to hell with all u race traitors!!!!

  • What are you going to do when OBama becomes president? LOL

  • ur just as racist as me dumbass lol, ur probaby going to shoot urself IF he does. but trust me dude, he WONT. we have a way of stopping that, even if he does get the majority votes. we did it before with bush....we and do it again for mccain. so dont hold ur breath, and stop acting as if ur not as racist as me. embrace it u bastard.

  • your a fucking tool. Go die you ignorant shitkicker.

  • ummmmm go fuck urself race traitor. all of u can for all that matter. i can see there is no more white pride. all of u should just go breed with coloreds and watch ur white race be wiped out. u sicken me. u should all be ashamed of urselves.

  • Fuck you, you nazi scumbag. You live in Ohio right?

  • WHo gives a fuck about the white race. I'm white, and I could give a shit. It's not like we need help. I'm more interested in the tolerant race. So fuck off Scumbag.

  • Fuck off Nazi dick.

  • im with you redstartn its all good bruh some dudes are ignorant and its obvious wht....is

  • I noticed that you have a million videos of guys taking off their shirts and muscle men saved on your site. I'm curious, have you jerked off to all of them or just some of them?

  • well to be honest with u, i actually jerked off in ur mothers mouth....thats right, i stood over her while she was on bended knee, took my cock in hand and started strokin it while she flickered her tongue across the head, getting it wet, when i felt the explosion about to occur, i grabbed her by her hair and pull her face closer to my cock, and shoved it into her warm wet mouth, then i blasted a huge load into her mouth, so much cum that she was forced to swallow it. then i sent the bitch out:)

  • wow you are pretty good at porn description. Let me guess, you are a gay phone operator?

  • just answer one simple question nazi boy,

    Why do you have a video in your favorites called "Michael Fitt taking off his shirt"

  • ummmm i guess i have a video in there with that name......because i workout....AND THATS WHAT THEY NAMED IT!! lol dumbass. that is the name of video because the poster named it that LOL are u seriously this dumb? seriously???

  • The guy isn't working out, dumbass he is just taking off his shirt. Your gay and enjoy looking at muscle men, just admit it. Lots of Nazi's are gay, Hitler was. Don't be ashamed.

  • u seem to be really familiar with the gay community....hmmmmmmmmm sound like a fag liberal to me lol lol.

  • Not a liberal a Socialist. Hey, you like to look at guys take their shirts off, what do I care.. I like how you won't let anyone comment on your page except friends you fuckin pussy.

  • obviously u like to look at it dont u?? LOL ur dumbass went in my videos and watch them, so what does that make YOU!!! u were interested in me enough to check me out and INVESTIGATE my videos, u fuckin homo!!! hahahahha u just got OWND fucker.

  • Dude,

    your a gay Nazi, face it and accept it. Why do you think you have so much hatred? Because your a closet homo that hates himself.

    Embrace your homo side and watch men take off their clothes. by the way I didn't watch it. It has "takes his clothes off in the description". Also having the song "When I see you Smile" adds to your gayness.

    You closet homo.

  • and ur mother gets pumped in the ass by darius and all his black friends lol. again, ur the one taking interest in me. u keep msg in me....id say ur the homo!! we both know its true. u got excited when u saw my videos and u coudlnt help urself. u watched and liked it, then to make urself feel less guilty u try to transfer ur homosexuality on to me. classic latent homosexual :)

  • Fuck you nazi scum. Go listen to "When I see you smile" it's on your favorites list.

  • hey ur mother listens to it when she gets plowed in her wart infected vagina by 3 black guys, do u attack her?? lol wait...dont answer that, i think i already know the answer :)

  • Whatever you silly hatemonger. Everyone here knows whats up with you. How many times have you been to prison? How many times were YOU raped in prison?

  • ummmm zero times in prison, zero times raped . are u trying to find a support group or something ??? lol what kind of sick question is that?? ur searching the net trying to find someone who has something in common with u?......very strange little man

  • And by the way...I do think his voice is great....he should keep on singing....gives the idiots something to talk about.

  • Since when did music belong to any one race?? What an idiot. It is really sad to see people use the anonymity of the internet to talk trash. People who do this are cowards, and arguing with them is like trying to bounce a flat ball.

  • its OUR music, so fuck u if u cant understand why it irritates me to see a black asshole trying to immitate the sound. u really think this black guy gives a shit about u?? stop fucking defending him. hes doing anything just to make a quick buck. further more i dont give two shits if u like what i say or not, i dont give a fuck if u think america is bad, go some place else asshole. this is MY country, yes i want to keep it pure and rightous, i love my white ppl and i have pride in my RACE. fuckU

  • What does the color of his skin have to do with anything.Ever heard of Charlie Pride?He's better than alot of the new crappy singers breaking into country.

    Keep singing Darius.You're awesome =)

  • do you realize how dumb u sound?? i dont see black ppl supporting white rappers. i dont see any whites playing running back in the NFL. so what the hell is the problem with me wanting to keep something WE made to ourselves. this stupid ass cant even sing. hes faking and accent making fun of us whites. i bet he normally talks ebonics and shit like that. you can take the negro out the ghetto, but u can take the ghetto out of the negro. if he wasnt making money hed be out stealing and killing!!!

  • you dumb fucking retard southern people have southern accents, he was raised in south carolina so therefore he has a southern accent. Also the fucking heritage of country music is derived from northern europeans and blacks you dumb fuck. I fucking hate assholes like you who don't know shit about anything yet still try to make a point. Go get shot you fucking prick.

  • Ok bitch ur a fucking dick and I'm not wasting time on ur racists fuck head there have been multiple studies on how people take on a different attitude when on the net because they have to be sheltered and r insecure about them selfs. so as you hide behind a keyboard saying shit to mouth off. I will always know that any time I could beat you up like nothing and ur always going to be a nothing a little shit face bitch you r to scared to have any real opinion to stand up for in real life FUCK U

  • ok, let me explain why i think ur a cuntface fuckhead. first off, ur doing the same thign im doing. ur voicing ur opinion in response to my OPINION, second u seem to know alot about hiding insecurites...considering ur talking just as much shit BEHIND ur keyboard ass fuck!! dont think u could beat me muther fucker. im 6'3 weight 240, more than likely id smash ur little ass. so go fuck off and listen to more coon country as i call it. ur a disgrace to ur fucking race. piece of shit!!!

  • If you don't like him singing country music and the fact that he is black...Why the hell are you watching his videos and making a total ass of yourself on comments?

  • you need to grow up and act like a human instead of a bigot

  • yes i am white, and i'm not offended i just think you're a racist piece of shit who should be taken out back and shot.

    Also this isn't white pride it's a guy who's daddy beat him and who's uncle touched him who wants to seem important when no one gives 2 shits about him.

    But as the guy said we're not gonna change anyhting by arguing so i'm done

  • I sure am married to a black man!!! Better than any white man!

  • see, now how did i know that u married a black guy without actually knowing u. please dont take offense to this, but black guys get with white women who are usually overweight and have low selfesteem and they treat them like crap. no offense. but white women will do anything for a black man and they take advantage of that and laugh behind ur backs. black guys can only get ever weight white women....MOST of the time. so no disrespect to ur marriage, but its true. i hear how black guys talk

  • He is from Charleston, South Carolina ...he doesn't have to fake his accent. And If you've ever been to our great state you would know that there is no ghetto in Charleston.

  • ur an idiot......keep ur own f*cking coments like that to urself....btw i am a selfrespection white person....while u r only a racist jerk

  • u dumb fuck shut the fuck up I'm not even black and u got me fucking pissed u dumb shit faced cock sucking mother fucking piece of shit. get a life, r u 12 or 98 years old to still be so stupid to think like that. u r the kind of person that makes America look bad. u represent every ass hole who ever supported racist acts I hope u burn in fucking hell. ur comments just further prove ur stupidity and lack of brain, ur the most uneducated piece of shit I have ever seen on YouTube FUCK U ASSHOLE

  • This is great. Congratulations.

    And yes, it isn't that big of a difference, as he states in the video.. I remember the wonderful version of "Gulf Coast Highway" Darious Rucker recorded with Nanci Griffith over a decade ago. He always had the inclination and the style for excellent country music.

  • Mr. Rucker, my daughter and I have been listening to you forever. You have an amazing voice and when you sang me and God I got chill bumps!!! My daughter is normally the only one who can give me chills when they sing... I'm proud to add you to that list. Please continue with the great work and I hope to post a video blog with my little girl singing one of your songs soon!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

  • You were great to us in NY radio years ago...love this new country venture...Also, I remember an ski party in Banff in 1995 with you and the band...Good luck!! You sound as amazing today as you did 15 years ago!!

  • Ok.. have a little emotional connection with the Opry and the fact that it makes a lot of peoples dreams come true. It really appeared that being on the show meant something to DR and I shed a tear... now where did I put the number to that shrink :-) Congratulations!

  • You've always been amazing. You have an incredible voice & I thank you for moving into my favorite genre. Can it get any better?!

  • Darius--

    May God Bless your new venture. You are a quality artist/songwriter. You have everyone's love & support.

    No matter what genre, people will embrace quality, & you sure have/are that.

    Congratulations...

    Lori

  • What's up, D?

    Congrats on the new genre. You've come a long way since I knew you at Congress Street Station in Savannah.

    You should write/record something with Tony Arrata.

    Sean

  • great job darius...

  • His new single is just a great song, and I really like where he is taking his music, and he belongs at the Grand Ole Opry, Great Job Darius, if you read these keep making great songs and I know I will listen to them

  • Congrats, if you get to play on that stage, you're doing something right.

  • Anyone who likes this vid better download before Gaylord Entertainment pulls it, PN.

  • They say if you play the Opry, you've made it. And you have. Congrats! Great vid!
