FIRST TIME HEARING EVERLAST- WHAT IT'S LIKE (REACTION VIDEO)

[@wellfit1511]

It’s a good song for today, it’s about understanding and empathy. What a lot of people have forgotten

[@patrickowens4294]

True.

[@dustinbaker4445]

Truth but understanding and empathy gets you beat in life just ask our government people of power are not understanding and empathetic

[@plasticgreenhead2273]

Couldn't have said that any better!

[@stephentaylor1031]

This song came out in the nineties…I’d say they still haven’t learned much in the way of empathy. Just look at the streets of LA if you get my drift.🤷‍♂️🫤

[@danielmcalister2713]

Well fit is absolutely correct.

[@brightmorningstar8780]

He heard the song but wasnt listening. Song strikes the soul of empathy

[@ShawnCaldwell11]

one of the best songs ever written in my opinion

[@tinntinnamp]

I know, literally it was said the young girl who got pregnant, her contributor left her no contact to take care of the baby and he's like huh??? What did the guy do??

[@stanzaloan3454]

Nothing

[@woodkath1]

Any woman in that situation may feel similar when left to do this on her own

[@Kim-hc5si]

Everlast was in House if Pain. They did that ‘Jump Around’ song.

[@Rebellen007]

Gotta check it out! Old banger.

[@hamishb2194]

Yeah he had a major heart attack and it made him rethink his life which led him to changing to this.

[@seasickviking]

Everlast has been involved in a LOT of bands. While most famously recognized for his part as the founder of 'House Of Pain', he was part of both La Coka Nostra & Soul Assassins, and a supporting voice in numerous Cypress Hill songs, not to mention worked with several legendary artists such as Carlos Santana.

[@papa_alan2824]

@@hamishb2194 but he still does that jump around on live shows...

[@bigblackearl6852]

U right

[@shellos8]

Yeah, you have to listen to this 2 or 3 times to get all of it. It's a really good song.

[@damonbryan7232]

Song is 20+ years old. Message is just as relevant today. Next song by everlast has to be "Ends". Another relevant song

[@Guinnessrules]

Yeah, it released 1998. Timeless, limitless and priceless.

[@scottNNJ]

“You know, where it ends, it usually depends on where you start”. A very true societal observation about the difficulties in breaking the pattern of one’s upbringing. The song doesn’t necessarily aim to change that, but to bring about compassion for others who may have things tougher than you do.

[@mikeblanchard7579]

The end when they are all looking in on the family symbolizes them seeing what a normal life is or should be and how the family eating doesn't "know what its like" to deal with what they delt with

[@youngderelict313]

Agreed 💯

[@Z_TPI]

P.O.D. - Youth Of The Nation is another song with a timeless message. It is rap/rock song 🔥 Subbed from Canada 🤘🇨🇦

[@over-educated-sp]

I got this promo a few weeks before it’s release, at my old CD exchange, and new record store. Everlast is a true O.G. This song is truly epic, and I’m glad you two played it. Awesome! Onelove!

[@ShawnCaldwell11]

Badass Live Acoustic Performance by Everlast🔥 This song is about being kind to others, because you have no idea what they are going through in their life. "God forbid you'd have to walk a mile in her shoes, then you really might know what its like." Great Song with a Powerful Message

[@policevanposition1993]

I get confused sometimes. Cause it seems like yall ain't listening to the lyrics..lol. "I think she is pregnant"

[@__abby]

i know, i had to stop and go 'really?'. but i love that they're jamming out to this. I love this song. if one has time to really listen to all the lyrics it has a very very good message. I get with reactions sometimes there's too much to take in at once. you've got the music, the lyrics, singing/voice and music video.

[@rubydykes6959]

Right? I was like how did y'all miss the kid tommy stopped calling nd she was pregnant. Her struggle was the choice with abortion and the controversy around it.

[@db212006]

right? "why would you wanna cut off a mans balls!???" like they didn't just hear the lyrics before that. ugh..

[@splitloopgaming3523]

theyre not listening at all. "why would she want to cut off his balls?" oh idk, maybe they explained it in the line immediately preceding that one......

[@pjsin9472]

I remember learning how to play the song. It's a great song, still completely relevant. I think it's an important message for everybody. I'm glad you guys did not react to the censored version. Some words have a big impact on the song, it's not the same when they are censored

[@corey1788]

Just catching this one a year later. I think y’all missed hearing the lyrics. “Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom.” He said he loved her then left her alone and pregnant. Then she got treated like shit for going to the abortion clinic. Hence the wanting to cut off his balls lyric. Try a few others if you haven’t revisited him. Black Jesus White Trash Beautiful I Get By

[@justdone1068]

Here to ask Half And Jai To React To WHITE TRASH BEAUTIFUL.

[@ericmills7852]

The dude ran out on his kid and half is like, "women are cruel!"😆

[@420spacecowboy]

and a man wrote that lyric lol

[@UnlicensedOkie]

Pretty sure neither one of them are really paying attention to the song End of the second verse “she’s pregnant right?” Eh. Not anymore. That’s the point

[@kd8199]

They might be listening but they aren’t hearing.

[@scottballinger40]

Little girl in the beginning is priceless. Love the fact you kept her. Smart move.

[@Movierebel3]

That ending, with the rich/white family in the glass house, while everyone else struggling is looking in. Laughing and eating, with no concept of what all the people on the outside are going through.

[@seasickviking]

Everlast has been involved with a staggering amount of bands. While mostly known as the founder of HOUSE OF PAIN, he was started out as the original white rapper as a member of Ice-T's 'RHYME SYNDICATE', went into a rather impressive solo career (working with legends like Carlos Santana), only to be later called back to rap in several supergroups including LA COKA NOSTRA, WARPORN INDUSTRIES, SOUL ASSASSINS and more.

[@commonsense4991]

I used to play this song all the time I know eminem had beef with him but I still like him

[@MrX-yk5xt]

We can't hate people or cancel them just because our fav artists had beefs w them it has nothing to do with their music, if it's good it's good

[@commonsense4991]

@kekistani operator yes that's what it was called

[@joeygrandview7304]

Same, fan of both

[@kimstone8532]

I listened to "What it's like" and "Ends" all the time when the album was released.

[@_Slicedbread]

But, you have to admit, that album was a let down. Even though that song was good.

[@suzannewatson600]

This song is deep as hell. Also, It doesn't matter if she's a freak, Half. Cause she's a freak for you! You two have such great chemistry. Keep em coming! Go Heat , F the Fakers!

[@Steve-hq4fm]

It's kind of saying that every one of those people has something they're going through, so don't judge, and don't only have sympathy or empathy for someone if you've also gone through it, have those things even if you haven't gone through the same situation!

[@Allagi22]

"You know where it ends, yo it usually depends on where you start" So true.

[@lorneknapp6712]

This video and channel is about your reaction. Half, it was amazing to see your reaction go from "enjoying the beat" vibe to "listening intently"... twice! This is a solid song, and that message is deep. Thanks for sharing!

[@Comrade_mommy]

Dudes song “ends” is super good too.

[@rebeccacobarrubias9547]

read the lyrics it explaines it all! beautiful song!

[@danusmc3]

Everlast started with Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate, then did a solo album, then co-created The House of Pain (a bunch of hits with the first 2-3 albums including; "Jump Around", "Who's the Man" and more), then went solo with this album ("Whitey Ford Sings the Blues"), then did a couple more. Recently they are back together with several others in a group called, "La Coka Nostra", but he still does solo albums.

[@admiralofwolves]

I think that the last scene was attempting to convey that the people who were raised in such a family are completely oblivious to the suffering of others, that they dont see what is going on with so many people (looking at the family through the glass window).

[@JFLY78]

The family symbolize the ideal "great American" nuclear family, their privilege blinds them to the realities of the world, they don't know what it's like to be in a position where you lose all you have or have to choose between keeping or terminating a pregnancy or being impacted by social violence...if they did experience these things they might be capable of showing empathy instead of contempt and understand that for most there is a big difference between the idyllic life of privilege and the harsh realities that many in society are faced with. (sorry for my lack of sentence structure!) lol

[@JakkFrost1]

You're making just as big a sweeping generalization as you accuse them of. Not all nuclear families live a life of "privilege", and not everyone who isn't in one is better off.

[@ikonodroid9189]

@@JakkFrost1 Exactly, having your house in order (particularly at middle age as the scene depicts) does not mean that you are 'privileged' or that you have had everything handed to you on a plate. For this guy to suggest so is completely ignorant of the large number of working class families who work hard to provide a stable family environment (a percentage of which make it into the middle class). However, it's entirely possible that in the process of working hard to build a family home, such effort and focus can make you prone to forget about the struggles of others. This is what the end of the video says to me, as there is no interaction between the people looking into the window (aspiration?) and the family inside

[@joshuarosenblatt]

@@JakkFrost1 100%. This song isn’t just for a mythical perfect family. They don’t really exist. It’s for all of us. Even those of us who struggle still have a tendency to judge others. Beautiful song with a reminder for us to all do better

[@joshuarosenblatt]

Ummmmm. It’s for all of us. Show me someone who doesn’t judge others and I’ll show you a liar

[@onepieceofgumleft]

For fans of this song who don’t really know Everlast in general , check out a song from earlier this year called “Slow Your Roll”. Dope song and video ... but lookin’ a lot older 😬

1 of my fav songs ever since I was 13. Changes your life that lyric at that age...for the better!

That's Whitey Ford, basically, from the song Quitter, by Em, because Everlast dissed Haley, you guys were blown away when you reacted to it.

[@davidmilitana]

I love the song. Your insight in spot on.

[@ottohernandez8818]

The people in the window represent the happy family we ALL wish we had or are a part of, but most can only watch that from the outside because of their circumstances in life which led them away from such a thing in the window..

[@citizenVader]

I love everlast.. And this song is just been so much more relevant

[@cbilky2914]

Everlast was part of the group House of Pain...their song ''Jump Around'' was huge!!

[@Kati626]

Yeah you guys definitely need to watch it with the lyrics

[@angelopires2719]

The meaning at the end is that sometimes things are not what they seem. You see a happy family but you never know what's going on in their lives.

[@HiddenCharmhome]

Does anyone else feel like you can hear certain songs/lyrics and really feel like you get it… then hear it again and again over the years and realize you truly do get it now. This song is one of those songs. It’s hard to NOT understand the message from the start but damn the layers to it….

[@larrystiner6576]

Lead singer is Everlast from the Irish rap group house of pain.

[@davebcf1231]

Irish? They're from LA.

[@80srocker67]

This song is about people that people judge and forget they have feelings and hurt like everyone else.

[@CaddyJim]

I don't think he could make this video today because cancel culture would complain the storyline doesn't have enough diversity in it but if you would have used a different racial group for anyone the characters he would get accused of disrespect making a whole racial group look bad no matter if it was the poor person the young impregnated girl with no baby daddy or the drug dealer

[@Mamat5kdz]

Luv this song and its still relevant now....also check out "Put Your lights On" Santana featuring Everlast...

Fam ,the ending was saying that what is shown behind the window is the perfect life ,with mom dad happy kids all enjoying life ,when on this side of reality ,all these problems are what's really real.

If you're watching the official video, which it looks like you are, they have the lyrics in the description of the video. That way there's no chance to misinterpret what's being sung.

[@billbradley4878]

The poor man was begging with shame in his eyes, instead of helping he was told get a job you slob, if you were that beggar you might know what its like to sing the blues. The young girl thought she was in love, got pregnant, the guy ran off, and as she went to the abortion clinic she was called a sinner and a killer, if you were that girl you might know what its like to have to choose. Max thought he was tough on the street trying to get money for his family and was killed, the wife and kid woke up to find out he was dead, if you were that wife and kid you might know what its like to lose someone or something important in your life. It is all about putting yourself in someone elses shoes. It is all about empathy.
