Carolina Chocolate Drops performing "Hit' Em Up Style"

[Bellajones82]

HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THIS.. PURE AWESOMNESS

[Corknut1]

This song is so incredible, I could listen to it all day long.

[Bobaganoosh2]

Hot Damn! Now if you don't enjoy this real music, well there is no hope for you! Any person that isn't moved by music is listening to the wrong stuff! This is real! This is real cool!

[edwinachikere]

Got this and Blu Cantrell on my iPod. Love this song!

[eks656]

That's a cheap shot tagging a Republican propaganda spill onto this.

[AreteGriego91]

Now this is real music (period).

[OrganJuicer1]

This is an amazing song!!!! I love the way the banjo players head is always moving!

[Aniando]

How I love This.

Aniando

[onceuponamidnightdry]

Superbly amazing!!!

[unclemeanbean548u383]

my favorit part was 0:00 to 5:07

[Bellini677]

Cool!

[jimithingjames]

Beat-boxing + Banjo = AWESOMENESS!!!

[bomskate]

que buenos es la mejores fusiones que he escuchado

[flavaliousgurl92]

[lovejones79]

[spunky2231]

amaaazing



[SoulfulVeg]

This is the most unusual, awesome, soulful, country, hip-hop song I've ever heard! I love it!!!

[bumptouch]

Unbelievably killer!

[jandreen]

So great!

[Wubbajan]

omg they're so good

[LynetteTheBrunette]

Damn.

[thalohalo]

I think I'm in love with this woman.

[ClaybanksJohnson]

57 people put their screen upside-down so they could thumbs-up the video again.

[bacunite]

This is real music that the new generations should learn, who is with me? I know that if they do more signs, and maybe become partners with youtube, they CAN become famous. GO CAROLINE CHOCOLATE DROPS!

[MrIbanos]

@bacunite Uh, they're already famous. They're on NPR constantly, play awesome festivals like Bonnaroo, and have toured the U.S. Just because they're not on MTV doesn't mean they're not famous.

[donfrenchiano]

@MrIbanos they won a grammy too. 

[lawyerinfuture]

!REAL music!

[Geezyone]

wow now that was different

[Birdman6569]

Wow! All can play, girl can sing, Song tells all.

[WodeYazi]

Slammin' bad ass as hell

[tatacass1]

Sou muito fã dessa banda.

[agingstoner]

Damn, I never get tired of this....music from the heart and soul and the earth itself. I wish more people could these great musicians live. Rhiannon is truly one of this era's greatest singers, and how many of them can play a fiddle to boot?

[Josquinquin]

Astounding!!!!

[fartingforfreedom]

Well I guess I'm a stupid dummy for not knowing that. Regardless, the lyrics are bubble gum bullshit.

[fartingforfreedom]

I like the musicianship, but the lyrics are garbage.

[latjjtal]

@fartingforfreedom ugh its a cover

[UnionMadeMaid]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!

Best. Break-up song. Ever.

[countryborn1121]

I love the banjo!!!!!!!

[jppriddy75]

Greensboro NC represented here baby. This is how we get down. If you like this check out Holy Ghost Tent Revival

[fobills10]

love to see her git after that fiddle!!

[dechinlkhundev]

GREAT

[iammrquincy]

Someone please make some real music videos for these folks.

[enchantress7]

Banjos DO get you laid!!! YES!!

[squirewolf]

Man, I just heard this song on the radio and waited until they announced the artist. AWESOME!!

[mrmaje1]

Loving it!

[valentinexmassacre]

this is GENIUS. Crunchy grooves and a creative use of instruments that are typecasted as bluegrass/country instruments. So beautiful!

[redwallace]

The music is on point. Wish the lyrics were a little deeper.

[Laharal55]

@redwallace Blue Cantrell 2001. This is a version of it. Brilliant music... the beat is so groovy ;)

[LeaaronFortesque]

the wild thing is that, good as this song is, it is actually one of their weaker pieces. they are probably the best band i've ever seen.

[stevonbi]

WooooooooooooW!!!!!

[Itsjustnotloudenough]

[misselectricsky]

HELL YEAH!! :)

[emotion999]

[MonroviaLIB]

sweet!

[EyeLean5280]

They're all beautiful, but that guy beat boxing is *especially* fine...

[tompetty1976]

I SAW THEM TODAY. They opened for Bob Dylan.

They had more of a standing ovation than Dylan did. Haha. They were great.

Bought their vinyl that came with a CD for $20 at the little booth. :D

[skagary]

Stole the show at the Newport Folk Festival - had the crowd in the palms of their hands.

[sillyearthling]

banjos get you laid, PERIOD!! 

[nilradem]

@sillyearthling

I have a friend who used to always take his banjo hitchhiking. He got a lot more rides that way, as well. Not sure if it attracted more women, but he didn't need much help there.

[Rhysvision]

@sillyearthling

Funny thing is the banjo is an African Instrument.

[AmandaLark]

@sillyearthling that is a fact jack... Banjo-Uke, gets you laid by three chicks at the same time... yup.

[DrPhineasFreeman]

Much better than it's plagiarized newer version.

[srbija65]

the beat isss sooooo cool

[marekprz]

Loved dancing to this at the Grassroots Festival yesterday!

[HeadmadeMusic]

how the hell you can dislike this?

[EyeLean5280]

@HeadmadeMusic - I would imagine there are a few men out there who are made a little uncomfortable by this.

[cooperdozier]

@HeadmadeMusic maybe they hate black people?

[cooperdozier]

@HeadmadeMusic doh. shouldve used my other email for that.

[pvd2188]

genuine music

[oneguycoding]

Saw them do this in Montreal the other night at le Petit Campus, it was magical.

[theblindhog]

This may be the best music video of all time.

[PipeOrganistSC]

[13ahawkins4]

[Waddman420]

amazing remix better than the orginal

[apjoeapjoe]

I'll never understand how that guy in the FRONT ROW! could just sit there and not even bop his head a bit, lol! I mean, really?

The only explanination is that he was sooo blown away his brain 'froze' and he was in a place beyond bopping!

[firecool68]

AMEN! Oh wait... nvermind :)

[oneguycoding]

Fuck man that was astounding, and I've been listening to these guys for a couple of years.

[xaoseph]

[stayseaLY]

Saw them listed on the lineup for the Newport Folk Festival so I decided to check out some video's. Love this...I am amazed.

[jo351]

THIS CHICK MAKES ME WANNA MARRY HER ;)

[oneNonly1fullofsome]

@jo351 Rhiannon Giddens is great isn't she!!! I wish they would have centered the album around her more!

[Curdog]

@oneNonly1fullofsome

I disagree- they work so well together and I think making a "star" would probably tear them apart.

[erawi1]

thumbs up if u thought his had sumthing 2 do with 2pac

[jrgoswick]

Can't believe I haven't heard this until today. johnybladex nailed it-refreshment for a ruined scene!!!!

[ArielSl20]

Badass thank you for a change in oace! Its good to know creative people still exist.

[JeffTheSignGuy]

Cant wait to see them at ROMP in Owensboro Kentucky in June 2011.

[penisfuckeye]

Love the arrangement XD

[Realgamecock]

They are coming to Tropical Heatwave in Tampa. I can't wait to see them.

[fostermom2010]

LOVE this version of this song - she kicks Blu Cantrell's ass on this one!!

[hbohorquez1]

Demasiado bueno!!!! Excellent!!

[AnaLuizaBC]

Veeery cool xDDDDD

[lovesKYO]

lol all of you saying this is original, you do know that this song is Blu Cantrells single from 2001 and that CCD is just covering it right? I like this, but it's not original because it is not theirs. It's truly an amazing performance and I like their take, but you all should just know that it's Blu Cantrells. :)

[schulzbc89]

Wow. My mind is seriously blown. Stunning performance.

[Gilgamesch1994]

the voice a lil bit like shakira :D

[JuniorAulakh]

the guy on the guitar thing is loving it and so am i and so are you and so is everyone!

[tankgirl21]

@JuniorAulakh its a banjo, but I like guitar thing better lol!



[JuniorAulakh]

[IlkenGirth]

This group is legit. Old school blues is amazing.

[enaid286]

Who are the 40 people who have no taste whatsoever? This is wonderful!

[Risquecherie]

[retsea1]

@clumsyiscoool same here, i heard them in my music appreciation class and i was like,

WOW!

[Aerohog1]

Wow, heard of these guys and expected something a bit more alt/folk. Definitely a much more modern sound than I expected.  An original sound-smokin" if I do say so. She's bringing it! No shuckin" and Jiven" here. Love it!

[777dsv]

Que rica voz



[sinestetici]
