The Red Hot Chili Peppers version is definitely better. This made me listen to Macklemore and Bun B a lot more. Good for Bun B for taking that out of his lyrics.
6 years later this song still sounds shivers down my spine. The message and lyrics are so incredibly powerful. Definitely one of the best songs i've heard in my life.
Man/artist Like Macklemore sparks consciousness. But YOU save your life. Thank you and congratz!. May the life you really want be the life you really have. God Bless. And again, thank you for being here with us ❤
My dad died when I was 9 of an overdose, for the last 10 years this song has given me a sense of peace nothing else ever has. Huge appreciation for uploading.
🤘🏼7 years started with oxys, methadone then shooting oxys then fentanyl then crack then sober .. wild 10 years . If you’re not sober .. you gotta want it and it’s not easy but it’s possible I believe in you !
+iDuoz Fuck me you're thick, it isn't called selling out....its called not living a shit life....he is successful, so no longer does he have to live a life where he does hardcore drugs to get through the day, or see his friends die or people around him die from using. Mature the fuck up and realise what causation and effect is. His songs still hold meaning, thrift shop ( I know it's older but that's when these comments started coming along ) has a hidden meaning, you just need to read the lyrics, and understand outside of your 1 dimensional understanding of the world what things can really mean. Other than that, it's also really well written musically and lyrically, Because he delivers a message, reaches as many demographics as possible, it's catchy, and it usable as club music. He's using his head to get a better life, and you'd do the same, so take your sell out comment and fucking turf. Good day Sir.
When i was 16, around the time this song came out, i had just graduated high school and had nothing to do. By 17 i was in rehab but this song really helped me feel not alone at the time. Now as a grown adult it almost means more to me now... The paths you choose as a young adult truly shape the outcome of your later years. If your a young adult now i beg you to keep your eyes open and in front of you at all times. Things can change quickly. And if youre struggling with anything right now, Speak Up, Talk To Someone, Seek Help, but most importantly, HOLD YOUR HEAD UP.
A little over a year ago I sent this to my dad telling him it reminded me of him... He had liver failure he was diagnosed when I was 15.... Here I am 19 years old grieving his death he passed away on May 27th only four days before his 48th birthday... This song still speaks to me... And I'm so glad I found it again I've been catching myself thinking "What's so bad about living that way?"
The bad about living this way is the fact that u find ur self doing things be it stealing r3obbing manipulating and hanging and doing men that u would never do our standards go way down I went from everything to pan handling the streets I had to give the needle up i would sell everything then my self because eventually u just want more and u don't care about nothing it a bad place to be and psychosis anxiety is fucked as weĺll trust me sweety it not all cracked what's it up to be
"Syrup, percocet and an eighth a day will leave you broke, depressed, and emotionally vacant". Such true words put so eloquently. Opiates rob you of emotions. When you go without them you become a shell of a person. Life becomes dull. If you're dosing high enough this feeling encompasses you while you're high.
Macklemore ist der beste. Er erzählt Geschichten in seinen Liedern. An ihm sollten sich alle orientieren. Er sagt uns, wie die Welt steht. Ich bin der Meinung, dass man von Mack einiges lernt. Er regt zum Nachdenken an.
James North If you say I would be a nazi again, I bay you on RUclips.And I don´t fucking care where you from. I can´t suffer people like you. So go and fuck yourself. Bye.
this song is not a battle on RHCP it is about Mack's stance on use and recovery. On The Heist check out Starting Over, he details his own struggles with sobriety and working the AA program as well as how this particular song has been a staple for so many people in recovery. one day at a time mack!
This is by far one of the most powerful songs ever created. Im not an addict, but I have been surrounded by them my whole life. It's 2017 and I still listen to this song as a message of what NOT to do. Thank you Macklemore.
Recently quit smoking weed and tobacco and I keep coming back to this song for motivation. Been listening to it for years and just started slipping into the same shit he’s rapping about. If you are struggling with drug abuse/addiction, you have the power to quit. You just have to do it. Stay strong and lean on those close to you. You’ve got this! Much love to all my family❤️
I've never been an addict but somehow this song just cuts right through me. because I can hear the rawness the pain in the music and it has so much truth to it.
I once watched this song turn a room full of hardened drug addicts into a teary-eyed bunch of softies in rehab. Seriously though, if you can relate to these lyrics, they're so true it hurts.
Man i miss this Mack. His recent song Hinds Hall is really good but he hasn't made something like this in a ling time. To me personally this is the best rap song ever written about addiction. It just summarizes all of the nuances so well, years later I still know every word.
I have listened to this song a million times and it still hits me every time. This is an amazing and powerful song. I love it and never get tired of it.
I'd love to see him do a live version of this with RHCP. I know RHCP lost a friend and bandmate to drug overdose many years ago, and Kiedis has said that Under the Bridge was largely about drug addiction. So I think they'd support the overall message of the song, since they've been there and seen how addiction can ruin people's lives.
i have read scar tissue, anthony from RHCP's autobiography, and the song this samples, Otherside by RHCP is so fitting, about his struggle with heroin addiction. For Macklemore personaly this song he's rapping is about Codine (another opiate narcotic), but as the last verse demonstrates, this song could be about addition in general, what ever your DOC is. that rush, that drug, that dope, those pills, that crumb, that roach... very powerful song.
This song is very special to me. My landlord/father-figure dropped me off at rehab a few months ago when I relapsed and on the way there we listened to this song and had a very heart-felt conversation about just how scary this disease is. A month later, he relapsed himself and died of an overdose. Rest in peace Tim and thank you Macklemore for making my last moment with him so meaningful.
11 years ago I listened to this song over and over, the lyrics really got me and I got them. And this month I am celebrating 10 years of being clean. I feel like I owe some of that to this song.
13 years later.. THAT song changed my live. I'm just laying in my gfs lab, after long years of lonlyness, and tell her my stories to this song. How it moved me back than, how it changed my views on my pastlife after addiction and drug abuse. How it helped me see necessary paths of my life. Thanks for that Macklemore! 🖤
Being found overdosed by my mother and hearing the story of her screaming for me to wake up brought tears to my eyes hearing this song, i loved escaping reality and i almost lost my life now I'm good... Thanks Mac
Hey just gotta say went to rehab in august for 3 months being addicted to liquor and opiates everything from tramadol to heroin. I'm proud to say I'm 6 months clean. Still not easy I get urges everyday to get a pack and rig, but when those demons enter my realm I listen to otherside, or starting over by this man. Thank you macklemore your my meeting inside headphones! P.s how the fuck do you upload a picture I dont like being blue!!!!!
Coltin Powell Stay up buddy there is a lot of people who understand thanks for sharing im almost 30 days my self but this is not my first rodeo so im always proud to see when someone shares it reminds me im not alone in my struggle. One love brother.
110 days clean today from my final drug I could never let go of. I am now free of a benzodiazepine (Xanax) addiction, alcohol addiction, and weed addiction. Yes, as ridiculous as it sounds, you can be addicted to weed. The people who don't think so weren't smoking 1.5 to 2 zips weekly for a decade. All I can say is sobriety is amazing at 28. Good luck to all of you who want better for yourself, and know you should stop, but "can't" stop. I promise you that you can. If you're on hard drugs SEEK HELP! ❤ STAY STRONG YALL
A lot of my friends I had from elementary school got caught up in drugs as young adults. Some got out alive. Others did not. R.I.P Pubs, Tommy, Clubby and Paul
the use of some drugs releases dopamine into your brain, dopamine is the same substance that gets released when you eat drink and sleep, it makes you recognise what is a primary need and what's not. that's where addiction comes from
No man, it is impressive; the first months are the some of the hardest. I'm 23 and started drinking when I was 14 and went completely over the edge when I turned 21. Unfortunately I couldn't stop until it cost me the friendship and trust of a girl that I had been best friends with for 10 years, but now I'm 9 months sober. So every time you want to go back, just remember that addiction will always end up costing you the people you care about the most and that you need to keep fighting.
idk if you will ever read this, but youv cause me to never overuse anything iv ever tryed, always had your songs i listened to as a kid in the back of my mind and it always kept me back from going in the deep end, literally learned from your experience through your music, i wish one day i can impact people as much with my music as you did with your on me, thank you!
Damn this song has so much meaning to me..I always really liked the song but now I really feel this song..RIP B.H. sorry I was gone for so long much love
if I remember correctly, I think it was actually the Chili Peppers playing for him in the background and not just a sample like most times when rappers use other people's music
I've been a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers since the first time I heard them, and I honestly appreciate what Macklemore did with this sample from "Otherside". Anthony of RHCP, as well as the other members of the group, dealt with a lot of what Macklemore raps about in this song, and I think the sample was an appropriate backdrop for the beat, considering the underlying message of the song.
i fucking cried lol i never cry, i havn't tried drugs myself cuz i'm 14 and my mom would break my fingers but i have seen it effect my family and my family friends and this hit home
hey guys, you've found yourself in a bit of a ditch. try to climb out. you are human beings who are worth it. please don't ruin your lives with this. I wish you guys luck with this, as there's nothing else I can do. hope you get through this.
Lost so many since this came out. Still crying to it tjl this day. #wedorecover but to everyone we have lost..i love you esp my best friend bean 2017 ❤ i miss you
its easy to say don't do it, but unfortunately some people get to a point in life where they think drugs are the only way out or the only thing that help dull the pain. I'm sorry to hear about your brother tho.
Mike Schmidt But people WILL blame themselves. There isn't a day that goes by that my Dad doesn't think about my brother. He wishes he had done more to help him. Somebody out there cares about you, I promise. Your life is worth living. Things may seem bad now, but I can tell you from experience, life DOES get better. It can be hard to see how, when it's so bad, but it will. I'm sorry for all that has happened to you. Who knows, maybe this will lead you down a better path. I promise you aren't a "fuck up". You sound like somebody in a bad situation. You can get out of it, in a much better way than ending your life. Trust me on this. I wish you luck. I also sincerely hope you do not end your life. I might not know you, but every life is valuable. Yours is as well.
I used to listen to this song back when I was a freshman in high school... now entering my second year of college so much has changed... but this song still makes me feel some kind of way. truly amazing
i remember coming across this song on my dads ipod as a child. not knowing the importance of the words, just that the instruments made me feel warm and fuzzy. fast forward a couple years. 23, recovering/relapsing addict and this songs has never been more eye opening than ever. love and light to anyone rehabilitating. it will get better if you let it
Still bumping this 14 years later. This is the better version
Absolutely so
@@JCKmusicandmore still here
@@kindbeats6272 you know it
It's always a good reminder of how life can be fleeting when inhibitions are allowed to slip too much

Definitely
If you’re still listening to this 10 years later, you’re a legend.
Still listening October 5 2020
Yup!! 🔥🔥🔥
I’ll prob still be here in 50
Still an amazing song and will be for the next decades
03-12-2020 - still here
I prefer this version above the collaboration one, the instruments have so much more meaning to the lyrics
1000%agree
i cannot find THIS version. thats upsetting :(
The Red Hot Chili Peppers version is definitely better. This made me listen to Macklemore and Bun B a lot more. Good for Bun B for taking that out of his lyrics.
@OGxFUBAR just use a RUclips to mp3 converter and download it 🧙♂️
Much agreed
This song hits just like it did 10+ yrs ago. Still relevant 💯
As long as there is addicts in recovery this song will always be relevant
Still listening now came from black ops 2 days
I had it on repeat to the day I went to rehab. I recently relapsed but I'm back to this song and I'm going back to rehab within a week.
6 years later this song still sounds shivers down my spine. The message and lyrics are so incredibly powerful. Definitely one of the best songs i've heard in my life.

Holy fuck, i remember when NOBODY new Macklemore. Fuck, i just heard a song of his on the radio. Doesn't even sound like his old, old shit like this
TurdSuckerRS You misused the word new, you meant knew. Sorry for being a grammar police.
They have a term for that... SELL OUT
+iDuoz Fuck me you're thick, it isn't called selling out....its called not living a shit life....he is successful, so no longer does he have to live a life where he does hardcore drugs to get through the day, or see his friends die or people around him die from using.

+Huw Simms I have respect for you m8
+SunnyvaleRS His new album is pretty good. It's his comeback to the fame, his *attempt to not sell out. In my opinion he more or less succeeds.

"Syrup, percocet and an eighth a day will leave you broke, depressed, and emotionally vacant".

REFL0X, you have written beyond the perfect explanation
My favourite line in the song
this song is helpin me stay clean after 12 years on the needle. such powerful words
Good job man! We don't know each other but I'm proud of you for stayin clean. Have a good 2016 man!

I remember when Macklemores music barely even had 1000 views and when he hosted concerts which had 100 people or less. Congrats on the progress.
As a hardcore RHCP fan, I do in fact approve of this incredible song.
I like your comment 100%
Same here. Rhcp is one of my fav bands saw them live twice, and Macklemore once. I'll definitely go another concerts and watch them several times.
this song fucks me up everytime. I've been listening to it for a good 7 years now and every time it's the same feelings.
man, I feel ya. I lost my music in transfer from comps (7 year life span on PC apparently) had to come back to RUclips to find this gem
Bout 4 tears to the date In about a week since i heard it. Just wild. A masterpiece.
This is the best version of this song. It’s So good it still hits like it did the first time I heard it 10+ years ago

R.I.P Pubs, Tommy, Clubby and Paul
people dont get addicted to drugs or alcohol, they get addicted to escaping reality.
i like you, reality is a nightmare, thats why I tend to sleep alot, and when im awake, Im choked up on stimulants
Both, actually. You can become PHYSICALLY addicted.
Get out of here with that "deep" bullshit
the use of some drugs releases dopamine into your brain, dopamine is the same substance that gets released when you eat drink and sleep, it makes you recognise what is a primary need and what's not. that's where addiction comes from
Elevated Kingdom ironically it's worse to self medicate. reality feels much better faced and rested.
This song got me through some tuff times.
I listen 2 this song everyday and remember my brother. He passed away 2yrs ago from cough syrup.
Lol sucks to suck
WTF is wrong with you douchebag
exactly. couldnt say it better.
Sorry to hear about that man. Hope you have a great day :)
Same my sister did
I miss her so much I cry everyday
she made my day 10x better and still does
Everyone who´s still struggling out there don´t hesitate and go to the drug counselling office! Drugs suck
Drugs are nice, it's the addiction that sucks brother !
This is the real version period
I feel like Macklemore isn't a rapper. He's more of a poet singing fast, sending meanings deep into us.
I'm 16, and I started smoking when I was 12, I'm now 3 months clean, and hanging on. I know its not impressive, but justed wanted share.
go on :)
No man, it is impressive; the first months are the some of the hardest. I'm 23 and started drinking when I was 14 and went completely over the edge when I turned 21. Unfortunately I couldn't stop until it cost me the friendship and trust of a girl that I had been best friends with for 10 years, but now I'm 9 months sober. So every time you want to go back, just remember that addiction will always end up costing you the people you care about the most and that you need to keep fighting.
Strong start. I'm 44 and it took me until 36 to understand what you do. 16 is impressive. Stay strong. Life is so much better now.
goldtoaster1512 love you man hope your still doing great. Today's day 1 for me... wish me luck. Please

Macklemore fan forever
don't understand how this doesn't have a lot of views. even if you're not into macklemore.
14 million isn't a lot?
I guess its a fair amount
Well, it's an old song
FUCK this is not the official version. thats 10 times better this is crap relative to that
official as in the remade version? (one with fences)
This song will never get old. #2021
This song is perfect, it's just so powerful in the message that it gives, keep on rappin macklemore.
It won't be us...
This saved me a 3rd from a meth relapse I stood up, sat down and realized "We live on a cusp of death thinking that it won't be us". thank you🥺🤞🏻
Stay strong bro
Damn this song has so much meaning to me..I always really liked the song but now I really feel this song..RIP B.H. sorry I was gone for so long much love
I have to confess, he did pretty good with the beginning sample of Otherside by RCHP.
if I remember correctly, I think it was actually the Chili Peppers playing for him in the background and not just a sample like most times when rappers use other people's music
Nope, it was just a sample.
This shit hits home man, it makes me think about all the homies that I see going down this road everyday.
Macklemore - Otherside
yep
Best song ever
I've been a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers since the first time I heard them, and I honestly appreciate what Macklemore did with this sample from "Otherside". Anthony of RHCP, as well as the other members of the group, dealt with a lot of what Macklemore raps about in this song, and I think the sample was an appropriate backdrop for the beat, considering the underlying message of the song.
Thank you for this song... needed to hear it right about now. Rip all the legends we lost this year and stay safe guys
This should have more views than thrift shop
I was addicted to Oxys for years I'm clean now :) thank god ..
schon 7 Jahre her , so krass
Ich weiß krass
15 Jahre
Lean is taking over peoples lives man, shits sad! 👊🏼❤️
Back when Macklemore was actually good. Used to jam this with the buds cruising the city all the time. Years and years ago
Years and years ago? It's only been like 7 years since it came out....
i fucking cried lol i never cry, i havn't tried drugs myself cuz i'm 14 and my mom would break my fingers but i have seen it effect my family and my family friends and this hit home
Same here.
Chi.
dont try it ;)
i know what it feels *crying*:')
y'got the right idea. Ain't nothin wrong with drugs, only addiction, which is what this song beautifully illustrates
going on 48 hrs clean...
how are you doing now? Got 1 week done now.
JawzProduction I will pray for you guys. stay strong♡ you can get there..
never make it more than 3 days
you can do it. keep trying. thinking of you.
hey guys, you've found yourself in a bit of a ditch. try to climb out. you are human beings who are worth it. please don't ruin your lives with this. I wish you guys luck with this, as there's nothing else I can do. hope you get through this.
This song deserved to blow up way bigger its gotten me through shit for a decade

I am watching it in the year 1
am i the only one that at the intro started singing the chillis ? ( the original "otherside")
I did too.
So did i
no you aren´t
This is the kind of rap kids and teens should listen!!!
Lost so many since this came out. Still crying to it tjl this day. #wedorecover but to everyone we have lost..i love you esp my best friend bean 2017 ❤ i miss you
i'm crying cough syrup was just the start of my problem...
I lost a brother to heroine. Don't do it, anyone. Life can be so much better without it than with.
yeah i know the struggle
its easy to say don't do it, but unfortunately some people get to a point in life where they think drugs are the only way out or the only thing that help dull the pain. I'm sorry to hear about your brother tho.
patrick foot I understand that, though I haven't experienced it myself. I just hope that people know they are not alone.
I
Mike Schmidt But people WILL blame themselves. There isn't a day that goes by that my Dad doesn't think about my brother. He wishes he had done more to help him.
Somebody out there cares about you, I promise. Your life is worth living.
Things may seem bad now, but I can tell you from experience, life DOES get better. It can be hard to see how, when it's so bad, but it will.
I'm sorry for all that has happened to you. Who knows, maybe this will lead you down a better path.
I promise you aren't a "fuck up". You sound like somebody in a bad situation. You can get out of it, in a much better way than ending your life. Trust me on this.
I wish you luck. I also sincerely hope you do not end your life. I might not know you, but every life is valuable. Yours is as well.
Gotta love how they use RHCP music, and then mentions California, lel.
I used to listen to this song back when I was a freshman in high school... now entering my second year of college so much has changed... but this song still makes me feel some kind of way. truly amazing
RHCP Bassline is so beautiful
Only the blood of Jesus Christ can save us.
God bless❤
I have been addicted to h for 3 years now and by far some of the lowest point in my life
i remember coming across this song on my dads ipod as a child. not knowing the importance of the words, just that the instruments made me feel warm and fuzzy. fast forward a couple years. 23, recovering/relapsing addict and this songs has never been more eye opening than ever. love and light to anyone rehabilitating.
