so crazy to think this was the first time you heard this. Man Matisyahu is a legend.

[@charonsworld]

Whoa what a good surprise! Never thought I'd see this ever again. I used to listen to this song all the time! 😍

[@sweetywidswag7506]

I love Matisyahu

[@Sincitytigah]

Went to Tipitinas in New Orleans in 07 and this dude put up one of the best shows I've ever seen

[@SquakesMahoney]

Just saw him last year. Still puts on an amazing show

[@Chillywilly420]

I’m 33 and been listening to him since I was 15 I was finally lucky enough to be able to see him live here in Pensacola at the vynyl! It was life changing he’s an amazing person with amazing positive outlook on life for all people!

[@kinneyk2411]

Funny enough, I’m 30 and have been listening to him since I was 12. Got this album for my birthday!

[@14gamecock]

If you haven't heard his song "One Day", then you are in for a treat. Such a great song with a great message that the world could use right now. Thank you for checking him out.

[@drunkpaulocosta]

Has to be the Live Spinners version though. The beatbox solo is possibly the best bit live

[@AngelaSealana]

I have this album! Yes, Matisyahu was a Hasidic Jewish reggae rap alt musician 🔥 (I use past tense because he is more fluid in his religious views now)

[@dedo7326]

Hassium but I don’t believe ‘em -Pauly walnuts

[@jodimichelleschoenherr]

Country nor Folk. He’s my favorite of all time. God loves Him SO MUCH!!! ❤

[@janna2245]

This happened in TEXAS. A crowd of drunken Texans lost their minds over an Orthodox jew singing reggae rap

[@goatkiller666]

To be fair, Austin, TX is the weirdest part of Texas. Granted, that’s a pretty low bar, but it’s something.

[@scottmcgregor4829]

Actually a Hasidic jew ( at least at this time) it was strange in the 90s. The most notable was white and the most popular reggae/rapper was a Hasidic Jew.

[@goatkiller666]

@@scottmcgregor4829 - And the best basketball player was Chinese, and the best golfer was black. So I’ve heard, anyway. I don’t follow sports enough to have a real opinion on the matter.

[@scottmcgregor4829]

@@goatkiller666 yeah, that was a strange time of paradigm shifts in the 90s.

[@elizawingfield]

They didn’t understand what he was singing about. But that’s ok.

[@Andy_Babb]

Just went to a Matisyahu show two weeks ago, I expected a couple thousand people but didn’t realize I’d bought tickets to basically a 200 person private jam sesh. Some of the most vibe worthy music ever

[@earthscorcher]

This is easily one of my favorite songs to just vibe to, and always the live version from Stubs.

[@sem1conscious]

They played this a lot lot on the radio in LA for a while in the 2000's. Such a great song that's so underrated.

[@jeflip942]

The speeding up and slowing down at the beginning of the 2nd verse was like a problem with the video, cause it wasnt suppose to do that lol

[@michaelwalker5257]

This dude is an orthodox Jew!! Who raps...to a reggae beat. Wow!

[@hereallyfast]

When I first heard this it was madness. I still play this on the reg. MADNESS

[@dangauldin6497]

I've been a fan of Matisyahu for years, his whole Live at Stubb's album is phenom. More reactions to that!! His integration of Jewish hazzan with reggae is so perfect. I'm athiest myself but the message is still relevant, and the sound is so powerful and worth putting to maximum volume

[@black4pienus]

Ohhhh I love this song! Long time since I've heard this. I used to be very into roots reggae. It's often about religion. I'm an atheist myself, but that doesn't matter when it comes to music. Good music is good music. You just feel it!

[@jimweishuhn9953]

When this song came out I played it over and over and ruined friendships. Totally worth it 😉

[@Animesbrpe]

Matisyahu 🇧🇷😍🇧🇷

[@troyvineyard3780]

Fucking Awesome. Love Matis! Especially as he's aged present day. Unbelievable soulful artist.

[@4islandbeauty]

This talented artist has been around for years, well maybe 2 decades this song was from the album "Youth" I remember being his first album i owned. He made other albums yrs prior and even after but Youth was hands down one of my faves of his. Hes talented, my friend put me on to his music as he use to DJ and knew I loved reggae....

[@lindsay4160]

I forgot all about this! I listened to this album so much when it came out!!

[@lustwaffe9000]

I surprised ure new to this. This music came out like 20 years ago

[@goatkiller666]

Q: How is he not completely drained? A: This was in the middle of a live concert. He did a whole show in addition to this.

[@AngieCarr]

If you like this, POD is in that wheelhouse also. They have 2 songs off their 2006 album TESTIFY with Matisyahu “Roots in Stereo” and “Strength of My Life”.

[@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551]

Nowadays He has blue hair, no beard or a light white beard, Hes not Hasidic anymore. Edit: I loves your reaction dude 20 years ago when I first saw this video play I was shocked too.

[@ryano2883]

Greatness! You watched greatness!

[@DominickValenti]

LOVE MATIS!!

[@Chillywilly420]

Y’all need to do yourselves a favor and check out matisyahu and Brady Wyatt bass player song called “ In My Mind” dude is so relatable to everything and everyone he’s got a song for anyone willing to listen!

[@darcelburkhalter9617]

Surprised and amazed😊

[@shlomiB.R.]

listen to: Asaf Avidan, in a box ll - your anchor You won't regret it!!!

[@jgage2344]

Hilarious that speed change…..

[@RonnieG]

He still sings. Look him up in hawaii.

[@alexpalette]

The craziest part is he is a Hasidic

[@Chillywilly420]

Song called In my mind! Check it out with him and bass player Brady Wyatt all versions are amazing but this ones best imo

[@s14sr240silvia]

Damn it’s been so long

[@coloredbymaia6476]

Best song ever

[@podunkcitizen2562]

You should hear him beatbox!

[@MissMaria1969]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@avirammorris9846]

One day by matisiyho

[@tintersinparadise]

That's not the original video. the Original doesn't change tempo.

[@rhondajeansmith]

I first heard him in Israel in 2004

[@Blackboxbart]

thst was from youtube not him, he doesnt slow down and speed up

[@cBodhi]

The change in tempo where his voice gets lower and higher is not the original. I originally assumed you did that so to not get copyrighted but I have this album and I know for sure there are no tempo or voice pitch changes

[@alfredocaputto6926]

2009

[@MrSerjr711]

There's an even better version of this.

[@elliottlaughlin7551]

Dude where have you been? You’ve missed out. Check out beat box!

[@perfect.defect]

have you reacted to any ezmil song?

[@JohnReavesLive]

I haven't ! have any suggestions?

[@perfect.defect]

@@JohnReavesLive I recommend freeze and 27bodies, old songs Eminem and dr Dre signed him on shady,aftermath and interscope records. Or you can react to the new one that features Eminem

[@perfect.defect]

He is an interesting Asian talent

[@perfect.defect]

@@JohnReavesLive by the way, he is a producer, editor and director

[@susanstein6604]

“I want Mashich (Messiah) now” Jews are wailing for the first coming of the first Messiah. You should listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood - Live at the Rl Mocambo.

[@douglasmace7703]

This whole album rocks. In my top 10….and I own hundreds
