I had an incident in my therapy group a while ago dealing with race and division and it interestingly enough the topic turned to musical taste and culture. The following week I played several songs on my phone by Gangstagrass and completely made my point. Underneath the idea of this being great music (IMO) I also love the concept of building bridges, not walls!
I first heard them, I was like, no fkn way does this work, it's unreal, then I saw the video, as they were switching, genres, bad ass, fresh, even tho its years old, it was new to me 2021, im 54 and i grew up in the 80"s, but ain't to hip on thug wrap, hookers, guns, money and killing, and the drugs, ignorant music, but this is music that touches the soul, sends a message, we put rap lyrics in a bluegrass genre, or the other way around, the is diverse about common sense, either your right, or your not. they proved that with the collaboration of the sound and the timing of the words, and the mix. My hats off, solid 10 !!!! hope they keep doin it....
I also grew up in the 80s, and I also love this band. NOT ALL RAP music is ignorant music. Not everyone likes every genre. Judge it song by song, if it's not for you, fine. A lot of those songs have good messages. Just because it's categorized one genre, doesn't mean all songs are mindless, ignorant and negative. JS
'kids' have internet. access to the same stuff you do. stop acting superior, perpetuating generational divide accomplishes nothing and sure isn't going to make 'the kids' listen to you.
I been sitting here with a big smile on my face nodding my head in amazement! Old school sound, love it! Those kids don't know nothing about this here! This is music.
This blends so well. I can see movies starting with this sound. Why this isn’t playing everywhere is beyond me but it makes me feel like I know a great secret
This little school has alot of money it needs to be bigger. Kids here would be hooked on this kids. And for free for the ones that can't pay. We have a mixture. Bless the little children.
My friends don't seem to get it but I was raised by my grandparents in Alabama in the 70s and I listened to bluegrass gospel and everything else all the way to easy e and nwa. I love this group. This is awesome.this group should be one of the most famous rap groups of all time right now as far as I'm concerned. This is a concert I would most certainly pay to see.i love this music.
They have revitalized my love of music! I first heard their sound from the theme of "Justified", and I am very glad I searched them out. Modern music..you get sick of any given song after the third time...but THIS, THIS has SO MUCH IN IT that it will endure, and be played by me..
Y'all are fire! My boyfriend loves hip-hop and bluegrass, and jam bands I love hip-hop and bluegrass and punk and this is -giving us life.- Gonna see if I can get him to knock boots to it!
You can't help but respect every person in this room all masters at there trade!!! Feels like a gangster i constant sorrow!! Waited for someone to do that much love guys!!
Oh gosh I love this sound - I know it’s not reggae or British Ska but the mix is beautiful when we come together - yay loving you & so will everyone I know x
OMG, This may be the best one yet !!! Yes Yes Yes, tell your friends , tell anybody who will listen, this shit really works!!!IT'S VERY well donecongrats this ishould be a whole new movement in music in America.... Hell Yea!!!
I'm fucking baffled, at work, bout to be late, yet I can not move. This has became one of my favorite bands and I've only hear 3 songs in the past 20 minutes.
When you listen to the music the protagonists of traditional Bluegrass songs were just as "gangster" and hard core as any subject of a Hip Hop song. Both strains of music are about the poor, the powerless, men who will die in the streets, hollers, or prisons. Men who only have their pride , two hands and a gun. Men who will run whiskey or drugs and who won't be insulted. The traditional music of the British Isles and Africa fused in the mountains, small towns, and forests of North America, giving birth to the Blues, Bluegrass, Hip Hop, and early rock and country. The urban has it's roots in the rural.
Wonderful the language universal : MUSIC ,beauty, amazing,fantastic thanks very much señores, verdaderos artistas es un honor escuchar tan maravillosas creaciones
I just found out about Gangstagrass a few months ago. This is so sick. Yeah, we're America. We gave the world blues, jazz, rock, funk, and then hip hop. And, hey, we've still got killer s**t like this, ready to go.
Another awesome song, guys! Music can do wonders: it can bring the country together, and in fact can bring the world together! All we have to do is LET it! Bridges, not walls! Work together to get things done!
I love how you know who the real front man is because the camera wants him, but there is so just respect represented that it gets obscured. Fucking. Amazing.
Still jamming to in 2024 -would love to see live
Saw Gangstagrass in Richmond, VA. I said it then and Ill say it now, Gangstagrass is the most important American Music of our time.
Holy. Shit. Where has this been all my life?!!
I love how everyone gets a solo and shows their skills off. Fantastic
I haven't been this passionate about any music in years. I'm speechless. This gives me hope for our culture :) This is beautifully American. Thank you
I was going to drop a commit but u nailed it real music is a mixing pot jus like our culture
Exactly!!!!
Heavy emphasis on 'beautifully' and 'American'
Love this!!!! Buiding bridges instead of burning them. It's a beautiful thing!!!!! Namaste💜💜💜
Angela Baxter .So true!... Music (and arts) should unite us not divide people

I ABSOLUtELY AGREE!!!! true America!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally back to real rap with real instrumentals. And oh how I do love that blue grass sound.
⛪ Preach! I pray they have all the blessings life has to offer.
Real rap is like 2Pac and Ludacris
Let rap be rap and country be country(I know it's bluegrass but you get what I'm saying) but somehow this does both and omg I love it
Oh yeah brother !
my dad an old school bluegrass fiddle player turned me on onto Gangstestagrass omg I love them😀

Two styles of music you would never think would go well together.
This is ridiculous. How did I never hear of these guys. Probably the most amazing group I've ever heard. I am literally for a fact in awe
Sounds similar to a Wu-tang flow. Incredible lyrisist and a funky southern beat. So refreshing. These guys are the truth!!!!
It's impossible to sit still listening to them, they are frigging great, what a blend of music and sound.
But auto tune gets radio play.. no wonder kids have no idea about good music. This shit is dope. Keep it coming guys
Autotune is for people who can't sing... These guys killing it
I think they should do a colab with everlast. As u said this is dope!
Understated. This is art, not that shit on radio.
@@jessemccullough1129 and out perform him?
'kids' have internet. access to the same stuff you do. stop acting superior, perpetuating generational divide accomplishes nothing and sure isn't going to make 'the kids' listen to you.
These guys are so awesome. They instantly bring you in a great mood. We definitely need more of that stuff
Epic.. I love it
Dr. Feelgood music!
Right?! Can't believe they aren't famous and touring...smdh.Truly awesome take on bluegrass and rap..fkn rightous
I been sitting here with a big smile on my face nodding my head in amazement! Old school sound, love it! Those kids don't know nothing about this here! This is music.
They are the absolute shiz
New favorites of mine
This blends so well. I can see movies starting with this sound. Why this isn’t playing everywhere is beyond me but it makes me feel like I know a great secret
Hey the FX show Justified opened each episode with these guys music. Anybody remember that?
@@miketynio4202 Yep, awesome show. Long hard times to come was perfect for it
Love the mix of two original forms of genuine American music
I don't know how I got here.. or what I'm hearing.. but I like it and I think I'm staying.
This little school has alot of money it needs to be bigger. Kids here would be hooked on this kids. And for free for the ones that can't pay. We have a mixture. Bless the little children.
Of the world.
Opps. I can't get away from this blessed music.
I'm gonna stay till my phone runs out of data.
Fast forward 5 yrs, saw em live in Shelton CT.yesterday,all I can say is ya hafta see um,they are UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!
Peter Penyan they actually sound like a band that would be better in concert.
Peter Penyan I’d be ecstatic to have them play from Shelton, CT to Shelton, WA! Lucky you, I can’t wait to hear them live!
@@denawagner360 as long as they stop by yakima on the way
When i buy myself a pickup this would be the official music inside it
This has been the best adventure down the UA-cam rabbit hole 🐰❤️
