[MessinaMurder]

im... im soo confused.

[MsTameka81]

This is waaaayyyyyy better than that Niki Minaj shyt!

[don21football]

Can't believe they actually accepted him (luda)... im black lol, but they had me waving my hands lol,

[nedrawrelyt]

this song is wonderful, and it proves that country and rap can go together. at 2:33 luda gets the WHOLE audience to get into the song waving their hands and having a good time. there is no reason to dis this song.

[mccoy4heisman]

The video where its Brantley Colt and Jason is better

[ToshiroMifuneSan]

Listen to all them country girls scream for Luda

[ddpetersen2011]

i loveeeeeee this! Jason Aldean is perfect! :)

[HewkyTime]

live music sucks dick never sounds good as on a cd or mp3 the dont have the add in voice synthasizers and computer adds to make them actually sound good

[cymon86]

@HewkyTime Actually, autotune is perfectly capable of live pitch adjustment. They simply choose not to use it to give an authentic performance.

[HTownCountryFan]

[xxNAOMIxx99]

Country music= :)

Rap music= :)

Country and rap= I don't know what to think of it yet

[chancieacres]

@xxNAOMIxx99 Well you should probably get on with thinking since they are already ahead of you.

[trevornmin]

I like your

songs

[MrKromley]

Don't get me wrong i like Jason Aldean and Luda but i don't care how many people redo this song it'll never be as good as the original by Colt Ford and Brantley Gilbert. Same goes for My Kinda Party Jason's version is good but not as good as the original. I'm sure some of you will disagree with me and that's cool everyone has their own opinion.

[adbausman]

@MrKromley i'm with you, I love jason aldean but the original is still my favorite

[megtal19]

I think these two should hook up again,this song was great. It's nice to see that country music artist aren't as fucking stupid as half of you idiot's on youtube. they make music that is going to sell,I'm almost certain this sold really good,now they're both rolling around in the cash and you all are still sitting your ignorant asses at home,broke and grumpy :)

[ColdBisquitTX]

@megtal19 some people still have values and money sure aint on that value list. stupid. "money means success" bullshit. go ask hank.

[squantotheboywonder]

personally I thought the video was pretty damn good. great song too.

[leejohnson78]

ludcris made a good remix u racist fuck!you wouldnt have the balls to be the only black man at the cmts and still own it!!!

[L97marie]

ludacris RUINS this song!!!

[mattyice40]

If u dont like it, dont listen to it... Thats the beauty of music!

[kokaneegoldbeer]

thumbs down. no need to niggerize country music

[jagsjrotc1313]

@kokaneegoldbeer Thumbs down. No need to be a racist prick

[chucker625]

Hank Williams is crying in his grave. My plead is simple. Stop shoving this country-rap (literally in this case) down my throat. It is not country music, so stop trying to pass it off as though it is. "There oughta be a law against cowboy rap, and all that boy band crap. A litlle sissy in a cowboy hat ain't country."-Tracy Byrd. CMT must really be hurting for ratings. The hat doesnt make him country, its the attitude. A trendy t-shirt and a $300 pair of jeans is not part of that attitude. Sad.

[MrKingErik]

the audio quality on this is horrible, but its awesome

[wakeboarderperson]

I didnt see ludacris out there i think its because he is black... no hate.. haha

[happyxabby]

@wakeboarderperson hes a rapper, and most people know him, yes hes black. people are black in the world, its not offensive

[70sgrlOHyeah]

@wakeboarderperson stupid comment 

[Futuresoldier121]

Ludacris is prolly thinking "Damn I ain't never seen so many white people in one area" lol good song luda was a ok edition. But I prefer colt fords version.

[Gabe52425444810940]

it was great to see this pairing....its nice to see something as refreshing as this once in a while instead of the same ole same ole country and country duet

[rkymtntruther]

Not my music, but very interesting to distinct genre's uniting like this. I like that they are getting out side of traditional comfort zones. Good stuff.

[nativepride1839]

lol I rarely comment on these, but the whole ethnicity and genre issue is crazy! I am a native american my family is all fool bloods, and I grew up in southern missouri back and fourth from missouri and oklahoma all the time... I grew up around farms and dirt roads and country music and ozark folk music even but I also enjoy rap and reggae and even classic rock. Ethnicity nor genre should keep artists from creating something... and for me this brings back good memories... this is a good song!!!!

[libre3072]

music = a universal language

[grantisthegover]

guys yall obviously have never heard of darius rucker and i dont think your gonna try and convince me he is white

[vizio44]

fuck that black and white shit this is a great song performed by great performers

[CvilleMuscles97]

@southboston 88 your just a dick dude bounce the fuck out of here. Your such a racist fuck. And it's rap the is no hidden (e) ass hole. And all artist of every genre is trying to put other artist from other genres on there songs to try and bring everybody together.

[AZh3at1380]

still doesnt beat brantley gilbert and colt ford!



[MrZachoh1]

@AZh3at1380 i agree! 110% they do it way better!

[raptorjesust12]

why this song was a nice respectable white country song and you have to put a black rapper in it... when all rap is about is have sex doing drugs and killing nig.ggas i hate all this trying to show whites arnt racist anymore get the hell out of our music

[jnorth0324]

@raptorjesust12 actually this was Aldean's song so what you are saying is retarded as all get out. Luda jumped on board you fucking moron. This was a nigga gettin in on our racist ass music. GTFO of here bitch!

[makam4500]

@raptorjesust12 luda talks about the EXACT same shit that aldean does luda made this epic song even better go aldean and luda woot woot

[hellobrookb]

@raptorjesust12 the funny thing is, this song is heavily influenced by Hip-Hop/R&B. Obviously racism is still very much alive.

[smithieballer08]

@raptorjesust12 "Our music" really bitch? Didnt know music belonged to certain races and certain people. Im black and love country. Brantley Gilbert and Colt Ford are country and they rap and sang it...just like Jason Aldean and Ludacris. This is to show that racism should be dead by now but obviously its still alive. People like you need to learn tolerence. Just like the song and shut the fuck up about racism.

[babydjs2005]

that monitor scrolls the entire show, its all scripted, including the songs, also it helps because live shows are rough, ask any artist, its a rush, however, when they are taping it live, there is no room for error, they try to think of everything

[mslyson]

Holy Karaoke. Anyone else spot the monitor in the background scrolling the lyrics?

[PittsburghIsLove]

See I am a way bigger fan of rap then country, but i like country and its always fucking great to see music mesh together and everyone put aside there overly "i am going to only this to this genre" pride and just enjoy the music.

[456kianna]

awsum song!

[MattyIceDog78]

your microwave has great quality

[neil66832920]

Birth name Christopher Brian Bridges Born September 11, 1977 (age 34) Champaign, Illinois, U.S. Origin Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. Genres Hip hop, southern rap Birth name Jason Aldine Williams[1] Born February 28, 1977 (age 34)[2] Origin Macon, Georgia, USA[2] Genres Country, country-rock The difference between Macon and Atlanta is 91.6 miles 1 hour and 48 minutes that's taking dirt roads. I don't see where these two are any different. they sound awesome together would like to see more crossovers.

[ColdBisquitTX]

@neil66832920

that record company tool williams, i mean, aldean, sure aint no country rock!! maybe cuntry??? not rock. not of these boys are, not brantley gilbert, or toby keith or any of the gay cuntry boys.

[SouthBoston88]

what's with this Country Rap SHIT in recent times? Do these Country musicians really think it sounds good? #1 Rap(e) is NOT music. #2 it doesn't matter how much Country music kisses Black ass, they will NEVER buy your albums or go to your concerts, #3 why not just cater to your fan base? and yes, White people (as well as Asian countries) make up the bulk of the fan base of Country music. If you must throw non-White influence into your music, Asians would make more sense than blacks..

[bamagirl2luv]

@SouthBoston88 Not true,I'm a black girl from Alabama ,and I as well as my family always bought country music.Learn to love not hate,and Ludacris is country he grew up in south Georgia.

[116Alphawolf]

@SouthBoston88 Racism at it's lowest man.

[MrDry23]

@SouthBoston88 not about race all the time ignorant shit

[scottconnatser]

@SouthBoston88 wow thats a really narrow way of thinking man.

[Dannigirltx]

@SouthBoston88 O.o my best friend is black and like country music... lol oh and have ya ever heard of a man named charlie pride my friend? just sayin.

[BCWENDLSGIRL]

this is def one of my favorite country songs ever... and im still a fan of old school Reba. Hell! Eminem... and Drake are a couple of my favorite artists as well... I still think Britney spears is to old and im glad 'boy bands' have almost completely been washed out...

[BCWENDLSGIRL]

@BCWENDLSGIRL ...My tastes in music are rooted with Reba and Eminem and Micheal Jackson And never changing the radio once you hear that Hotel California is playing... But mynie are different form yours and everyine elses... if you dont like it, then click 'dislike' why would you waste your time being rude? .

[vGRewindz]

that girl up there is having the time of her fucking life lol

[cuteboi891]

i refuse to believe that rap and country doesn't go together. i think any GENRES can go together if done right. Its called breaking barriers you dumb asses. i like to see stuff like this when artist from different genres get together and make a smash hit like this and lets not forget "We Are The World" was a world wide hit with many many artists from different genres. last time i checked music wasn't racially divided, its UNIVERSAL!!!

[Superdyna96]

FK jason aldean, Brantley gilbert and Colt Ford version was much better and believeable

[tjy148]

@Superdyna96 Yea but Jason aldean was the original maker of the song

[southerngurl420]

@tjy148 Actually Brantley Gilbert and Colt Ford are the original writers of this song.

[HaloFaction]

Ha I watched this on TV it's crazy seeing it Recorder, Thanks!

[FREDandTOMdotcom]

@HaloFaction youre welcome! it was crazy being there! its so different than on tv

[angie75043]

@FREDandTOMdotcom I think that is awesome!! I would have loved to have been there!

[gmoneyice3]

country and rap actually arent that bad

[AYager11]

Yeah, this fuckin' sucks! BG. ;)

[hockeyplayya2]

This is awesome haha too bad it was recorded with someones 99 cent calculator..

[FREDandTOMdotcom]

@hockeyplayya2 calculators don't record. it was actually a sony cybershot

[NoTimeForBullCrap]

@hockeyplayya2 You're an idiot!

[ZacharyKonkel]

@hockeyplayya2 that joke might have been funny if you came-up with it yourself.

[thestjimmy108]

@hockeyplayya2

Duuuudde!!!! That sounds like the coolest calculator ever!!!!

[iTzEviLHoM3r]

@hockeyplayya2 Its actually a clear picture .. they were far so the sound is quiet

[KillerwithaHeart]

@hockeyplayya2 omg its funny cause its true lol

[HARLEY212ify]

@hockeyplayya2 u r a dumb ass you probably sho

ot calculators 

[hockeyplayya2]

@HARLEY212ify I'm sorry, apparently I'm too much of a dumbass to comprehend WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE SAYING. Your comment made it very clear to everyone on youtube that you are mentally deficient. Perhaps the next time you decide you will try to reach someone by making a defaming statement, I suggest you construct yourself a coherent and sensible sentence. Thank you, you fucking homo.

[kickerpunter]

@hockeyplayya2 you know not all of us can afford the $1000 special full HD whatever camera.

[hockeyplayya2]

@kickerpunter Oh well thank you for your input. That may be so, however, most of us CAN afford at least a $200 camera. Which by the way, would still be your "special full HD whatever camera.

[bubbaZBo]

if u dont like black people and their rapping y n the hell u gonna like a redneck white man rapping the song thats just stupid on his behalf. u white y u rapping

[RacFuhk]

@bubbaZBo Errrr.......THINK BRO, Eminem?

[FREDandTOMdotcom]

30,000 views! yayyy!!!

[hacdan]

@FREDandTOMdotcom You're the only one with a live recording that was actually there. At least the only one I've found.

[FREDandTOMdotcom]

@hacdan haha i know! i cant find any either!

[jenniferschargers]

It's nice to see that MUSIC is universal! It shouldn't be about what type of people listen to a certain type of music. I prefer Brantley Gilberts version of HIS song. I love country music period but it's nice to see this.

[Duval778]

Gay! Thats not real country music!

[shanabethbee]

@Duva

[hanssd1]

Listen to all the artists and fans go crazy you dumbwits. Grow up. Best response and most awesome moment of the night. Go back to watching Swamp Wars or something.

[MichiganFann]

@hanssd1 good show dude

[madddavey]

Time and now look wat we have created a dumbed up version of wat we feared the most. Our parents grew up in wat will forever be called the greatest music era ever and well our grandparents for that matter

[madddavey]

The original to this song minus Luda is way better I also agree country and Rap do not go together it would be like putting Eminem in a scream-o song we live in the era were there is no REAL music anymore bands dont play in the recording studio as the lead singer theres a new stupid hip hop dance every 5 secs. Its almost to the point were our kids are gonna be more fucked up because ral music these days dumbs us up to thinking its cool to do drugs shoot someone and swear and say nigga all the t

[paulmclellan43]

@madddavey this song shows they do go together no?

[WWIIairsoftColorado]

@theroc5851 I have to listen to it because it plays ALL THE TIME on my normal country radio station here in colorado, My thing with this song is that it is rap, so dont play it on a country station, I dont think your a dick man its your opinion and I have mine.

[thedbeast100]

you can hear luda

[thedbeast100]

its good

[WWIIairsoftColorado]

@theroc5851 Im part of your generation AS STATED ABOVE! I play several instruments in several different genres, I NEVER said I like Screamo you fucking tard, Its not your convorsation so you can fuck off. I agree that singers that step out of there comfort zones do get some credit but I just dont like rap, its my opinion and as you said "YOU CANT CHANGE IT SO DEAL WITH IT" Ok?

[WWIIairsoftColorado]

@theroc5851 Im in your generation but You do have to follow the rule/laws because, they are the fucking rules! I can comment on ANYTHING i was due to the first amendment and I couldnt spell genre because it was 3 in the morning when I wrote that If you new what REAL country was, then you would realize that Jason isnt country and half of the people claiming to be country have no clue what real country is. Its not a different generation its the same as the last one rebellious toward their parents.

[DisasterEffectMuzik]

@WWIIairsoftColorado No I'm sorry but times have changed. Music can't stay stagnant because if it does then it will become stale and uninspiring as it's supposed to be. Why keep two great musician seperate because of a genre? it makes no sense. What's REAL country? Bluegrass style? I think not. Jason Aldean is just as much country as Willie Nelson so do give me that. It's not about being rebellious, it's about expanding your horizons and not living in a musical "box" so-to-speak.

[WWIIairsoftColorado]

@DisasterEffectMuzik Jason isnt as country as Conway Twitty or Johnny cash, Those guys were real country, Brad Paisly is the modern rendision of them. Country and Rap dont go together dude, They just dont, They never have and I dont think they ever should. I dont live in a "musical box" I listen to stuff from Bach to the 40s 50s 60s and 70s then some country, light rock and then some heavyer rock to Blues, I have a very wide taste but I hate rap it just sucks MOST(Not all) of it is just cussing.

[DisasterEffectMuzik]

@WWIIairsoftColorado And through all of that, you list music that, in a nutshell, is the same style. I understand if you have a preference and thats fine but to say you have a very wide taste is an overstatement. I listen to essentially everything, from today's country, to Johnny Cash era country, to Run DMC era hip hop, to today's hip hop, to almost all styles of rock except scream-o, to even the Bach/Beethoven/Mozart era. Again it's about expanding horizons and bringing people together.

[WWIIairsoftColorado]

@DisasterEffectMuzik I also Listen to todays country almost every kinda rock I listen to songs that are on the verge of being hiphop then I listen to all the other stuff that I said earlyer, I have a very wide range of different music that I listen to compaired to most people these days that run with JUST rap or JUST screamo, Hell I even listen to Swing Dancin music from the 20s and 40s, To say that I dont have a wide taste is a blatent lie.

[DisasterEffectMuzik]

@WWIIairsoftColorado Then if you have such a wide variety in music, then why make a comment of something "not being country". It's one thing to not like Jason Aldean or Ludacris for that matter, but it's another to say "this isn't country music". And on another hand, if you knew you wouldn't like it then why bother clicking on the link just to hate on it. I'm a fan of musicians stepping out of their "comfort zone" why not? It makes for a more open community of music...

[Arainiad08]

Who said rap and country don't go together, you selfish moron. I like it

[WWIIairsoftColorado]

@Arainiad08 Rap and Country dont go together, They are 2 COMPLETELY different genras if thats how you spell it.

[cblankinship031699]

Um u cant even hear ludacris!

[FREDandTOMdotcom]

@cblankinship031699 i can hear him perfectly..

[KillerwithaHeart]

@FREDandTOMdotcom you know thats a lie lol

[smokeweed42047]

rap and country does not go good together
