I'm an old rocker, born in '58, into Zeppelin, Sabbath, Stones, and so many others. Some of the most legendary songwriters. That said, I believe this to be one of the greatest songs ever written. Simple and straightforward, it hits hard every time.
Hey from Charlotte, NC! I'm an even OLDER ROCKER, born in '53, into those bands, too. ❤🎸💯 With "What It's Like," Everlast puts the shit right here in our ears, eyes, hearts, minds AND souls‼🤯🔥 I'm DEFINITELY about to jump back into the Everlast "rabbit hole" with both damn feet‼(It's been WAY TOO LONG since I gave him a listen.) Who's with me⁉️
It's just a bunch of leftist nonsense. Second verse women has sex with a loser he runs off she goes and gets a abortion. She shouldn't have been screwing a loser he shouldn't have been have sex with her then running off but to act like the abortion is her only choice. There were a bunch of bad choices that lead her to the clinic. Like I said the song isn't timeless it's leftist nonsense. To add to your Don't list Don't believe every sad story you hear.
Preach it !!!...It's crazy how what the " OLD" people as we called them in our late teens actually had some FACTS after all !...Not shade just saying !
It got plenty of attention when it was released. I love this song. But c'mon. It was all over the radio when it was released. It has had plenty of attention.
Everlast had basically three stages to his career, first stage solo/part of Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate, 2nd stage lead MC for House of Pain, and 3rd stage he got into a rap/rock hybrid sound and went back to a solo career. His post- House of Pain albums are actually pretty darn good--especially the first three. Its a good road to go down.
I became pregnant at 16 when I was on the pill. I went to the abortion clinic. And I was called a whore a baby killer a sinner! What made me so angry were these were Christians! I later in life use my story a different Christian campgrounds with teenagers. And tell them never to judge somebody because you don’t know what they are going through!
I’ve followed Everlast since 92 with his House Of Pain stint to his solo stuff, to La Coka Nostra, WarPorn Industies, and various other hip hop colabs. Definitely a true hip hop artist.
Did you ever listen to his pre House of Pain stuff? I think he had 1-2 albums on Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate label... he had a "hit" with I believe its called "I got the knack" or something along those lines. I have heard of La Coka Nostra.... haven't heard of WarPorn Industries.
@@purplebeard1526 I kinda did. I was a if Ice-T fan when his POWER album came out and of course NewJack Hustler back in the day. But I got my driving license in 92 and when H.O.P. Came out, that was the shit. We used to ride around at 16/17 drinking 40’s and smoking blunts. Can’t forget about Cypress Hill either… now I’m 45 and can only reminisce about the old days… ha…
You can see other comments about how he was lead MC for House of Pain, most notably "Jump Around". From his solo stuff I recommend "Letters Home from a Garden of Stone", "White Trash Beautiful", & "Ends".
Absolutely. Even if you've gone through something you still have no right to comment or judge because each person's story is different. You don't know what's it's like for them.
When this song was in heavy rotation on the radio, I had NO idea who Everlast was, but I loved a couple of his songs. It was years before I found out he had been the frontman for House of Pain. Great lyrics and beat :)
Blues rock, alt hip hop. Everlast was part of House of Pain (rap group) back in the days too. He grew up in NYC and LA. Great song. Music from the streets.
Before Everlast did this project he was down with Ice - T's Rhyme syndicate in the late '80s and House Of Pain in the '90s he was one of the few white Rappers that was respected by real Hip-Hop Headz
I yelled out "YES!!!" when I saw the thumbnail for this reaction. I absolutely LOVE this song. Such a great song about not being quick to judge and to realize that EVERYONE is going through something and you never know what they are. SO BE NICE!
Hey guys thx for your reactions! This guy came from a rap group back in the early 90’s called House Of Pain. They were kick ass. Everlast transformed himself from a hard core rap artist into the song your about to hear. Rock on guys!!¡
Everlast is a super talented dude. From House of Pain “Jump Around “ to this awesome album “Whitey Ford sings the blues “. He is a great songwriter and performer.
I actually never heard this song before, thanks for reacting to it, I’m liking it a lot and I agree with you completely it’s not up to anyone judge someone for their choice, who are we to judge, I’m not trying to be political
Yall should check out "White Trash Beautiful" from Everlast if you liked this one and of course "Ends", "Black Jesus", "Hot To Death", etc. This whole album is dope, never gets enough credit.
Used to live in Cali, carried two wallets, two packs of smokes. Always would give something to those who were"in that life" . "Hey man, you got a dollar?" "Nope, but I got a five..." "You got a smoke?? " "Here man, take two. They're small." Treat people with respect. It will come back to you on the end. Because there but for the grace of God go I.
You know something? I hardly ever hear people say that phrase anymore. We were walking through Hollywood a few weeks ago and I looked down, did the signation, and said, "There but for the grace of God." My girlfriend looked at me and said, "The fuck was that supposed to mean?"
@@jhamler1 Sounds like a great opportunity to give an education. Circumstances can change in an instant and we don't know why or how, but our lives can change for the worse on a dime. I count myself blessed that I have a roof, a job, groceries etc. Better than more than most of the people in the world. I'm poor but I'm blessed.
When we was listening to the music we enjoyed our childhood understanding and caring for others. Having a real conversation.. It's something we have that is most valuable. Love.
I Can Promise That You've Never Seen Anything Like This Before & A Grammy Award Winner🏆,, Herbie Hancock "Rockit" (Official Music Video Is A MUST SEE/HEAR) Truth!!
This is one thing I am so thankful for as a therapist. I have the privilege to hear the most intimate and life changing parts of people's lives. This helps me in my personal life. Everyone has a story. Don't judge if you haven't read it.
The way y’all two bob your head differently to this song… it shows how we take different experiences differently… how we act differently to everything.
So True , Not being able to walk in someone else's shoes 💔 Check out the singer's other group, Just Another Victim from Judgement Night movie soundtrack. 👍 You won't believe it's him
I grew up with this song and never really put all the lyrics together until now... what a great song, really. Used to hear it do much I took it for granted... or maybe I just couldn't appreciate it until I was older and had to go through a few things myself...🤔 I wouldn't have revisited this if I hadn't seen this reaction video so thx!!
From the first time I heard this song, I thought it was brilliant. It hit a lot of airplay on alternative rock stations in the 90s, yet I never got sick of it.
The song is so chill but with a heavy true meaning. It says treat everyone with love and respect till you get to know them .we all have problem, bad choice, and unseen life lessons. Great channel, you two are great and real. 👍🙏🙏😎🇺🇸🇨🇦
There are people who clown on this song and this dude, but if you listen to it, it's as relevant (or more) today than when it initially came out. It might not be insanely well-done musically, but it's a song with a legit message.
It’s cause god was out of the equation. It happens but for the most part we all go back to it. This was truth in our lives that we all ignore due to shame of no knowing what we all need, hope 🙏🙏🙏
Any time you guys get the chance always listen and watch the original video that comes with it will help you understand anything that you might need to know
Hard to believe this is sung by the same guy that did "Put Your Lights On" with Santana and also "Jump Around" with House of Pain. A great song by a great talent.
Whitey Ford Sings the Blues Great album. This song is so 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I agree, one of the best songs ever written. Everlast has been thru some shit. Amazing singer and songwriter. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

damn those hippie drugs must have fried your brain
It always hits hard
Great message!
This song is timeless. It'll always be relevant and it'll always hit like that.
Don't assume, Don't judge, Don't look the other way 🥺
It's just a bunch of leftist nonsense. Second verse women has sex with a loser he runs off she goes and gets a abortion.

@Nathan Temple I imagine going through life like this would be exhausting. Is it? Is it tiring constantly making everything out to be political?
Tru Dat!
Been listening since I was like 14 I'll be 22 April 5th I can relate to this song it'll never die
This song needs to be heard by everyone.
And they need to really hear what it's saying.
Everlast has some fire music. It's a shame nobody knows it.
This dude. Jump around then this? World shaker!!
I haven't listened to this song since I was 18. I am now 43, and its meaning is far more powerful now after decades of struggle
The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory which shall be revealed in us...
❤️
Absolutely
Preach it !!!...It's crazy how what the " OLD" people as we called them in our late teens actually had some FACTS after all !...Not shade just saying !
Decades
This is an amazing song, , one of the best ever written, and doesn't nearly get the attention it deserves, Everlast nailed this cut and then some.
He has released a lot of great music over the years
It got plenty of attention when it was released. I love this song. But c'mon. It was all over the radio when it was released. It has had plenty of attention.
Everlast had basically three stages to his career, first stage solo/part of Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate, 2nd stage lead MC for House of Pain, and 3rd stage he got into a rap/rock hybrid sound and went back to a solo career.

Way more than that. More like 5 stages. Ice-T, House of Pain, Solo career, la Coka Nostra, WarPorn Industries and other collabs.
@@Wrangzilla Only one I wasn't familiar with was WarPorn Industries...
@@purplebeard1526 Yeah what is that…?
@@somemonkeystirnerite
ruclips.net/video/QsqePDEGCfc/видео.html
La Coka Nosta album was dope
Asia your eyebrows on fleek 🙌🏽
As a teenager I had to "go through something" and this song nailed what it was like to go through 😪
I became pregnant at 16 when I was on the pill. I went to the abortion clinic. And I was called a whore a baby killer a sinner! What made me so angry were these were Christians! I later in life use my story a different Christian campgrounds with teenagers. And tell them never to judge somebody because you don’t know what they are going through!
This is one of my absolute favorite songs of the 90's. Such hard-hitting lyrics.
Everlast is a legend…… legend as a blues singer, legend as a song writer , legend as a rapper. My icon since I was 14……im 41 now.
Love this song and the message, y’all definitely need to put “Ends” by Everlast on the list as well
With ya 100 percent 👍
Ends is 🔥🔥🔥
YES…”ends” is a good tune!!! Love the sound!!
White Trash Beautiful as well
Yeah, please do Ends.
Thanks now I have to go listen to it now😒
A slept on 90s banger for sure. We were all jammin this back in the day.
Fun fact: The lead singer of Everlast is the same guy who recorded Jump Around, he used to be in House of Pain.
Great song.
I’ve loved this song since it came out. It’s just brilliant.

@@Oduunich I looked him up and didn’t realize that I knew Jump Around but I haven’t heard anything else of his.
Dude this whole album is worth checking out
@@eggstu Thank you, I’m going to do that.
Some songs, very few, are just so insightful and powerful that hear them once and you’ll never forget. This was that type of song for me.
This song is definitely about having Empathy for others because you don't know what people are going through or have been through.
Powerful blues rock rap song! ♥ I suggest his song with Santana: Put Your Lights On
This song hits everyone.
Absolutely. Even if you've gone through something you still have no right to comment or judge because each person's story is different. You don't know what's it's like for them.
If you ever been in a situation you understand this song.Have a heart people.Its the thing to do.
if anyone lies the old boom bap style rap this dude was in a group called La Coka Nostra 1st album killer
Everlast "Black Jesus" and "Turn Your Lights On" is hard.
The collab with Carlos Santana?? That song is ridiculously good
@@shanecowan9667 👍🏾
Everlast is a lyrical genius. Every word every beat is a journey.
One of my all time favorite songs. The whole album was fantastic. This is still on my playlist. 😎
When this song was in heavy rotation on the radio, I had NO idea who Everlast was, but I loved a couple of his songs. It was years before I found out he had been the frontman for House of Pain.
Great lyrics and beat :)
"Ends" is also FIRE, and so is "I Get By"...Everlast is highly underrated.
hard to believe its the guy who sang "jump around"
Great song that has lyrics that we should all take to heart before we judge. Walk in someone else's shoes as the song says.
Blues rock, alt hip hop. Everlast was part of House of Pain (rap group) back in the days too. He grew up in NYC and LA. Great song. Music from the streets.
Everlast had some really good material. Very creative and expressive art.
Before Everlast did this project he was down with Ice - T's Rhyme syndicate in the late '80s and House Of Pain in the '90s he was one of the few white Rappers that was respected by real Hip-Hop Headz
This song is fr!! Been rockin’ it for years. People need to recognize before they judge.
The official video really brings this song to life!!! Powerful either way!! 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
Everlast is versatile as fuck. Good dude.
Everlast pioneered the Rock-Hip Hop fusion. You will love his other songs like Ends and Black Jesus.
Absolutely one of my favorite songs, it made me cry again
I yelled out "YES!!!" when I saw the thumbnail for this reaction. I absolutely LOVE this song.
Such a great song about not being quick to judge and to realize that EVERYONE is going through something and you never know what they are. SO BE NICE!
Hey guys thx for your reactions! This guy came from a rap group back in the early 90’s called House Of Pain. They were kick ass. Everlast transformed himself from a hard core rap artist into the song your about to hear. Rock on guys!!¡
He started as a more pop rap artist before House of Pain
@@MikeB12800 Had a stroke/heart attack - changed his whole outlook .

This song from Whitey Ford Sings the Blues may be one if the best songs ever written. The lyrics are great and the melody is timeless.
Never knew who sung this!! Great pick!!!
The man’s a genius !
“Whitey Ford sings the blues” is my all time favourite album !

Everyone can relate to this ! I have seen so much in my life! This song makes me cry!
Saw Everlast in concert. The whole crowd sang along with this song. Very moving ...
It's just one smooth, mellow, and incredibly eloquent call for people to have some goddamn empathy before issuing snap judgements. I love it.
Crazy how good this still sounds
Love this song! It's one of those songs that makes you sit and think. You can't judge anyone until you been in their shoes
