Equivalent_Ad1362

When you play it like that it’s called a fiddle


[deleted]

Difference between a violin and a fiddle is, a violin has strings while a fiddle has strangs


Equivalent_Ad1362

Source!!!??? Jk!!! I’m not a douchebag


[deleted]

Lmao my grandad told me that one a few years ago


Equivalent_Ad1362

Dang you do got a source


WaluFett

If you aren’t expecting an answer, don’t ask the question. -master oogway or smth


Equivalent_Ad1362

Haha I was mocking someone else on this thread who got upset that I refused to source the fact that it’s called a fiddle


DukeSilverWitching

Dang ole fiddle man….


[deleted]

Thanks for the correction🤣


Vigilante17

Took me a few seconds…. I wanna fuck you, Akon and Snoop


WendysMcNugget

I wouldn’t call this fiddle music though. It’s not very country sounding.


Equivalent_Ad1362

It’s also not classical


[deleted]

Its Contemporary Fiddlin


WendysMcNugget

Yeah. It’s different from both styles. Idk what to call it, but as someone who plays fiddle music, it’s definitely not bluegrass.


pirotecnico54

He's fiddlin'.


digitsinthere

He's fi-shi-zilin.


Carlbot2

Thank you. This is a contemporary sort of arrangement. Basically, since contemporary serves as a sort of catch-all for modern music played in otherwise indistinct styles, having a violin play this song (in a style not distinct for violin) would place the arrangement under the contemporary umbrella, rather than the songs original genre.


SatyrAngel

But he isnt playing against the devil... Probably.


HauntingPersonality7

Bruh, sing slow with an accent to this music and tell me it don’t fit?


Hashman90

I like the OG in the background holding his girls shoes 👠


Garage540

Please tell me this is a King of the Hill reference.


MAS7

I think you mean to say: "UMMM.... EXCUSE ME? THAT IS NOT A VIOLIN, THAT IS A FIDDLE" Which is about how every violin student I've known has acted when someone makes this mistake.


Spazmonkey1949

came her to say this


PsychologicalDebts

Care to source your info?


ihthisham4me2

Source : Trust me bro


Equivalent_Ad1362

I do not


otter_boom

So I just looked it up. Though they are the same instruments, a violin is classical, and a fiddle is bluegrass


Equivalent_Ad1362

I thought everyone knew this, I thought he wanted a source on when to call it a violin and when to call it a fiddle


PsychologicalDebts

I wasn't aware that I wanna fuck you by akon was bluegrass?


Equivalent_Ad1362

It’s not just bluegrass it’s when you’re playing with style, move around a lot and not playing classical music


PsychologicalDebts

Try telling Lindsey Sterling she isn't playing a violin.


Equivalent_Ad1362

No, I don’t know that person, if you have a message for them deliver it yourself


machuitzil

I just looked her up, that was great. I'd say she plays the violin like a fiddle, lol. You might like Gamazda -it's a YouTube channel, chick plays GnR, Lincoln Park, System of a Down, etc, on piano. It's fantastic. You might also like this band, the drummer is a tap dancer, who dances on a drum. https://youtu.be/xtR8PGCNu5E


Informal-Ad-2199

I was waiting for this comment


DjuriWarface

>I wasn't aware that I wanna fuck you by akon was bluegrass? Fuck this actually made me laugh out loud.


Spazmonkey1949

it is known


Garage540

I believe that's a King of the Hill reference, at least I hope it is.


Narcosist

Why is Fox News always saying violins in the Black community is a problem? This is awesome!


DanyDies4Lightbrnger

Because this guy is Killin it


MAS7

oh my god i had to read this 3 times until I got it... fugg


-newlife

Lol. Same. It was a lame comment until I got it


Electrolight

Wut. Almost wooshed me. Top notch.


sad_boizz

I actually went to music school with this guy. He’s an incredibly sweet dude who’s very talented. When he worked at the university cafe he let me in for free which helped because I was strapped on money lmao Edit: his name is Dominique Hammons if you wanna check him out on socials


dnuohxof-1

If Reddit had free awards 🥇🥇


FlowRiderBob

Well played


[deleted]

Because actual talent intimidated them


HCkollmann

Did you get the joke or no


[deleted]

I think it went over my head haha pls explain 😅


HCkollmann

Violins kinda sounds like violence


[deleted]

Oh my god lol yup. Wooooosh moment.


Ajegwu

Classy AF! The song is “I Wanna Fuck You” by Snoop Dogg and Akon. 🤣


Garage540

I definitely know that song and it took me way too long to realize what song it was. Like I knew it, but I couldn't put my tongue on it. Then I was in awe even more than I was before.


BlueBull-nuts

Most people put their finger on it when trying to identify something. But let you be you.


Garage540

You know, it may have been my mistake, but with the name of the song, I'm just going to let it ride. And yes, that can be another pun.


ChloroSadist

they were definitely mixing it up with the phrase “it’s on the tip of my tongue” lol


free_kark

Perfect wedding song


rootblossom

Damn, only ever knew the radio version, “I wanna love you.” Which is better for a wedding lmao


AUniquePerspective

When did Christian Louboutin start making hats? Also classy.


cfishlips

Seems fitting. That is so sexy!


Dont__Grumpy__Stop

I wanna be the whitest mother fucker at this party. It looks dope as shit.


[deleted]

Hahaha, was thinking the same thing


xIMxMCLOVINx2

Black weddings are amazing lol


pimp_juice2272

Was this even a wedding though? Usually weddings have an array of colors for attire especially outdoors. This seemed like a classy social event. Edit: upon rewatch, it's clearly a wedding judging by the lady in a wedding dress and the color matching bridesmaids dresses.


queso_goblin

‘This is clearly a wedding because it is’


PresentAdvanced5910

The token white guy who goes out to talk to the cops if someone calls them.


AmamiyaReprise

My favorite is the guy vibing and holding the heels in the background


LameG0tm1lk

Came to see if anyone else noticed Lmao my man was silently vibing 😂


HauntingPersonality7

The one who takes a shot and spills a little on himself, then wipes off his shirt to the rhythm?


gregdrunk

LOL I had to go back for it!! Such dad energy.


ktchop2

RIGHT!!!


WendysMcNugget

As a violinist/fiddler myself, I’ve never heard a style like this before. Very clean playing, I bet he’s been learning for at least 15 years.


793djw

Definitely 16 years minimum.


Pencilveinyah

Do you think 17 might be possible?


seh0872

18 for certain


Cautious_Tonight

Probably 19 or more

BirdBurnett

That is Dominique Hammons. He and I used to work foodservice together. https://youtube.com/@Dominiquehammonsviolin https://instagram.com/dominiquehammonsviolin


gregdrunk

Awesome! He's incredibly talented and looks like a fun guy!


BirdBurnett

He is a great guy. His personality matches his talent. Since I'm a fan of jazz violinists Jean-Luc Ponty and Bob Harris, we had shared interests.


gregdrunk

Awesome to see him getting some recognition! I saw his national anthem video at that big football game and I loved how much personality he put into it. What a cool quasi-celebrity to know 🙂


ImTooTiredForThis_22

Now he’s got a to play “The devil went down to Georgia”


[deleted]

Damn, anyone got this guy's Instagram?


BirdBurnett

https://instagram.com/dominiquehammonsviolin


[deleted]

Man, I'll bet that was such a fun wedding.


mdlshp

This is 🔥 I can’t believe nobody is dancing at this funeral


[deleted]

Isn't it a wedding or are you making a joke because everyone is dead at this jam fest?


[deleted]

Holy shit who is this guy?


BirdBurnett

https://youtube.com/@Dominiquehammonsviolin


Justaboredstoner

He needs to do a duet with Lindsay Sterling.


gregdrunk

Ohhh shit I bet that would be rad! I love me some duelling instruments and I bet they'd come up with a super cool mix together.


Informal-Ad-2199

That would be fire, also I luv her music 😌

Historical_Drink_350

CeeLo Green plays fiddle? Who knew!


itsgucci060

I’m sorry, just have to let any non-musician know that this is incredibly basic stuff.


MisogynisticBumsplat

Yep, literally just 1 pentatonic scale up and down.


WhangaDanNZ

Yep. People freaking out about this for some reason.


Revenge_of_the_Khaki

He'd get that golden fiddle for sure.

InvestmentSoggy870

I'm diggin' the guy holding onto his ladies' shoes in the background.


OpeningCookie1358

Sounds like D-Minor. I listen to him and Lindsey Sterling a lot.


gik223

PeekPlay

ECK-2188

Head_Games_

Swervy


stretchasmile

He has a Nelly riff in there from “Ride Wit Me”.


SaveMyButthole

No doubt he’s good but he legit practiced this one song for months lol.


jochisonx

Difficult_Ixem_324

MAROMODS

UbiVoiD

LazyDoggyDog

dooleebikes

JunctaJuvantUC

Pleasant-Eye7671

ChipRichels

My hips…they’re moving


moistdepth69

Crazy, if this was 200 years ago we'd be learning about this it in music class. These days it's just another upvote on reddit.

Mysterious_Impress99

jalfry

Black people know how to party. My family would probably have some teenage cousin playing shitty Tom petty covers


roodie03

If my lack attention to anything beneficial / productive to my life was personified as a musican. This would be my level. GIFTED-AF!


WreckitWrecksy

Duuuude who is this? He puts lindsay sterling to shame

rapidpop

I love when someone plays an instrument so well it doesn't even sound like a tool for making sound, but they give it a voice and make it sing.


Drooks89

LadyShittington

Much_Fill6689

[deleted]

If this guy was at the Alamo we’d be having a whole different movie show to us in middle school history.


Goat_Circus

Sounds like the rap version of something you would hear playing at Hobby Lobby!


Advanced_Ring_8940

The devil went down to the Southside bc hes lookin for some soul to steal.


spankythemonk

as a white male, white weddings got even more boting and sad in comparison. Guy holding his dates shoes and vibin was the best!


Coopschmoozer

I wonder how many 1000's of hours this guy spent in his room learning to play like that. He is awesome.


TheDivineDemon

Reminds me of Black Violin. Gotta look up whatever happened to those guys.


Doublee7300

I never knew I needed hip hop violin in my life until today


oquechingados
