Casisdead - Drugs Don't Work (Reaction)

[@RuntLifeRecords]

putting on the verve - 'the drugs don't work' was always the quickest/easiest way to get people to leave your house when you'd had enough of the sesh back in the day

[@KarmasAbutch]

Cas wordplay was light years ahead of its time… this track is 10 years old and still sounds like it could’ve come out yesterday.

[@danielburrows7872]

The guy with the cap on in the video is a personal friend of cas. And he passed away from leukkaemia or cancer. R.i.p bro

[@Tommy_Pockets]

Been waiting for this please react to more CASISDEAD. Love the videos keep it up man

[@haze5883]

You should listen to cityslicker by CAS sure you’ll love it

[@beathermit3876]

Cant believe this track nearly 10 years old - still haunting

[@samhill487]

Soulful, pitched up drones of Richie Ashcroft on the hook. Hell of a tune that, incidentally called "The Drugs Don't Work" too, by the Verve. Britpop, mid-90s.

[@missmorgz1865]

I watch so many reactions, but I've never actually felt something while watching them, CAS has honestly made an absolute masterpiece I've always said he deserves praise left right and centre for how he managed to express such truthfulness, thank you for reacting with such honestly and depth in emotion, people like you who deserve so much more recognition too 💯

[@CanadianDadReacts]

Appreciate you saying that. Thank you.

[@CountOnCrypto]

If you listen to CAS then you can't miss "All hallows"

[@davidjc96]

My favourite cas song I’m a psychologists wet dream cocaine and ket fiend welcome to the dead team💯🔥

It was my plan for Halloween and my schedule got messed up. I'll get around to it.

Definitely do more Cas man you’re one of the most in depth reactors I’ve heard in a while

[@stevemcmosh4271]

Great reaction to a great track. I'm not generally a CAS fan but this track hits hard! Also, that chorus is sung by a bloke. 'The Verve - Drugs Don't Work' is a very, very well known song over here. I get serious schoolboy nostalgia when I hear that chorus lol. Released the day after Diana died, so it's sombre nature probably helped make it blow at the time.

[@Kevin-tw4uw]

I love this song describes where I am currently and I love this channel your reactions are so geniue and you catch things and put them in a great way and I love you share your story man you seem like a great guy and interesting dude to have a genuine connection

[@CanadianDadReacts]

Thank you 👊🏼. Really do appreciate it. Hate to hear that you’re going through so tough times, bro. Just remember you don’t have to go through them alone.

[@FRU.No.1]

Casisdead - 6pm. Gota listen its a banger

[@leedave9314]

Also shout out to Mssingno for this beat, absolutely crispy fresh👌

[@jakeburlaczenko8165]

Had no idea he produced this

[@KINGSCVSTLE]

So glad you’ve found Cas 💯 This track has helped me through so much. The guy is next level 👑

[@ShotgunTheAux]

Great reaction man. Cas is in his own lane for sure

[@missmorgz1865]

My main man, I love this guy ❤️🔥💯 top tier 💯

[@googleaccount4159]

you chose a good time to get in to Cas as he has just released two new tracks off an incoming new album. He is a true wordsmith, a genuinely clever rapper. I wont suggest any tracks as you can't really pick a bad one. I look forward to seeing more Cas reactions from you.

[@CanadianDadReacts]

Definitely going to be more Cas on the channel

[@davidjc96]

My bro showed me this song when I was in a bad place I was having a whitey while I listened and after hearing the wire thin part I touched my stomach and realised I had gone away to nothing it made me sick I really think hearing this song helped me I’m still dealing with shit but I don’t rely on drugs anymore I probably smoke more weed then I should but I’ve stopped everything else and I barely drink anymore

Strength and encouragement to ya bruh.

First video ive seen of yours, subbed straight away great insight and love this song. CAS is an underground UK legend for sure

[@36chambers.jake.87]

Great reaction. I’m not a big CAS fan if I’m honest but dope to see him on the channel still.

[@CanadianDadReacts]

Thanks as always, bro

[@Zacksleeps]

Good reaction. You didn't miss a beat. You got all of the references and stuff from his lyrics that most people reactions don't catch

[@morganmackenzie7545]

Great reaction, CAS is on a different level... For some more of his old stuff, Charlotte (with video), Get It, The Code, 6PM, Leon Best... He's just released 2 new tracks for the first time in years as well, different to his older stuff, Park Assist Ft La Roux, Boys will be boys... Hope you get time to check them out... Subbed!

[@MrGrimeallday]

There was also another track leaked off his new album called v12 which is the best of the 3 in my opinion, definitely worth checking!

[@morganmackenzie7545]

@@MrGrimeallday Not the full official version though I don't think. Just the shortened version he previewed on Instagram or Twitter.

[@missmorgz1865]

Absolute bangers, the guy is definitely my favourite rapper by far, tooooo skilled💯🔥❤️

[@danielianmorris5398]

another sterling video. just have to say that the voice on the hook is richard ashcroft from the band The Verve, just it's been pitched up. powerful song, gives me Mr Key - Kids Story 2 kinda vibes

[@ow9775]

Solid stuff! Pat Earrings by CAS has got to be next!!

[@michaelreay6992]

Hes the best artist to come out of England. Ever

[@Howisthatright]

As with most of the channels I subscribe to, I just stumbled upon yours. Great reaction to an incredible artist. Cas is a legit OG in the game. Look forward to watching more of your stuff.

[@nikcumberbatch]

Great analysis and self reflection, something i can relate to

[@euanwalker4436]

Stumbled across your channel by accident and love your raw reactions bro can tell you love the music!! If you were digging Blah and Lee Scott you should check out his tune "Why Don't You Make Songs Specifically for Me? Wtf" and the rest of "OH, THE FUN WE'RE ALL HAVING", it's such a vibe and yet another style he pulls off!

[@CanadianDadReacts]

Added. Thank you! 👊🏼

[@euanwalker4436]

@@CanadianDadReacts yesss bro can't wait!!

[@mickig2936]

Cas is a pro and good at delivering an overall aesthetic. Try Pats Earrings for a track and then he did a little follow up vid to that which though brief is worth a watch.

[@jamesparkerone]

Nice track that. Not heard that one before. Isn't there a track called "Pat's earings" by cas that's a banger??

[@ktwine7994]

Cas is ridiculously underrated Dave heart attack next please

[@bilalaziz8669]

Not a huge fan of Cas but your reaction made me go back and listen. Clearly has elite bars, very clever guy! Big up g

[@tamworthtamworth8220]

Cas ain't the one on drgs. He's just been in the game a while and sees clearly how life is for a fien and speaks through there eyes

[@tomblandeee]

So bloominn deep, masterful though too

If you like this then react to his song called "simon" its an interview with a man called simon who is an heroin addict and he is telling the interviewer about the daily struggles he encounters....is an absolute masterpiece!

[@leedave9314]

After loosing a very close friend to suicide through drug abuse, Castros music tuned in with me especially his older stuff, never liked rap about pain and heartbreak but this is as raw and gritty as it gets I think, without it being cringe. Also check out play faze mutate remix, and sillian braille both bangers👌

[@shootermcgavin8793]

After being on a few year struggle with drugs I stumbled upon cas a few months ago and this week I’ve not been able to turn him off, I’m from London too so it resonates with me mad just like how he describes it is how it is. Horrible life but it’s great for them few hours I suppose.

[@leedave9314]

@@shootermcgavin8793 I feel you man, I was coked up from the age of 13 and managed to stop everything except weed. If you ever need someone to talk to send me your socials for a yap. Cas is amazing how very london/uk dark rap talking about mental health state, watching drugs run his life but ruin everyone else around his. His old stuff ‘castro saint’ is really good to if you want to check it out

10:35 When I was really struggling with my OCD and psychosis, I was put on various anti depressants. One of them fucked me up so much I slashed my throat up to fuck and was sat there in tears, blood coming out my neck, all the doors around me smashed up after I put my fists and head through them. Never again. Discharged myself, never took any more meds. I was never suicidal, I struggle with homicidal urges, thoughts, visions and voices, however those drugs made me suicidal while I was on them. I still struggle with the shit in my head, but I'm doing much better now I'm out of the system, not seeing therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists and most importantly, not taking any fucking meds. If anyone's interested, the specific drug that made me go like that was lofepramine.

[@CanadianDadReacts]

Sounds like you went through Hell, bro. I know the road ahead can still be dark at times, but you're walking it on your terms. Make sure you talk to someone when it gets too dark. Occasionally I need to check in with my therapist because I can feel myself slipping away. Sometimes I just talk with my older brother. Both have helped me out of the pit a couple times.

[@shootermcgavin8793]

Screw them thoughts bro you see what you suffer with your not blinded, never let it beat you always pull yourself out of it if you can, I can’t tell you how many doors I’ve snapped in bits and walls I’ve broke, wrists I’ve doodled on with razors. I’m still here. You need to be too👍🏻
