My Mind's Playing Tricks On Me - Geto Boys (REACTION! by metalheads)

[@57kwest]

This song is about mental health issues and having schizophrenia

[@terrytees]

It's always been public knowledge that Scarface used to struggle with manic depression through the majority of his younger years.

[@notmychannel6425]

@83rdox it's possible to be a dope dealer and have mental health issues

[@MrfuckinBeilke]

Nahh... It's about stress

[@terrytees]

@@MrfuckinBeilke it's more than just stress, people get stressed out by the smallest things. Faces verse is about serious mental health issue's. Just Google scarface and mental health, he's always been very vocal about it and has been in and out of medical institutions most of his early life.

[@SolidSnake240]

@83rdox which all effects your mental health.

[@anthonys___n8022]

You sir would have to live a different life to understand it. It's a truth that lives in many urban areas

[@anthonys___n8022]

@EndOfTheNight I doubt you would even know stay in your lane

[@MoneyBoyCJ]

Anthony S___n it is paranoia, I live in the hood I’m the same way. I’m always lookin over my shoulder. It’s conditioned into you from seeing violence.

[@JohnnyZMunoz]

@EndOfTheNight its paranoia after getting shot. He still thinks they trynna get him. Or its just hood paranoia. After school i hear the kids running track behind me and i always think its some one running up on me

[@midwestjay9459]

And everywhere else

[@vivianawhite8280]

Yeah they need to pull out, they too deep 😬

[@redscorpion9325]

She has great taste in music,I dont know about the other guy🤣

[@hansgugel8034]

Hard to go to Rap when one listens to metal, i should know but some rap is cool

[@israelcastelan4012]

Hans Gugel True. You can’t really transition to Black sabbath, metallica, pantera, etc. to Tupac, De La Soul, etc. Just a different mood and overall feeling.

[@sdfvmbshdbgsdbv]

@@israelcastelan4012 good music is good music

[@Back_Shots_Whisperer]

Damn bro, yo girl more gangsta than you 😂

[@192OOIDJJ3]

Yup, thug life. lol

[@sjw4life546]

"Don't pause it right there" LOL. I had that same reaction! R.I P. Bushwick!!

[@BarkinGoodStuff]

I'm sorry, but I think this cemented Jill as my favorite. You don't always have to relate to appreciate, Ryan!

[@DevoLotti414]

Yea good music is good music. You can't deny it.

[@2apocalypse-X]

The first rapper, Scarface As a teenager attempted suicide and subsequently spent time in a hospital psychiatric ward. On June 2019, Scarface launched his campaign to be elected as the Councilperson for District D of the Houston City Council.

[@terrytees]

Yep, it plagued the majority of his younger years. I remember watching a interview with him when he was the AnR for DefJam south and he was still suicidal at that point talking about jump out of the window to his death as an option. I didn't noticed a change until much later in his career when he seemed to find more comfort in religion. Seems a very different guy these days.

[@dustieclipz2996]

The little guy in the group Bushwick recently passed away R.I.P. please react to Bushwick Bill - Ever So Clear video it’s a song about his life story and how he ended up getting his eye shot out.

[@gamingforfun9000]

No shit, that sucks

[@jamesberner4853]

He shot his own eye out

[@mobmuzick3257]

Rip Big lil man

[@1stWardMex]

Rip bill

[@lasurflife]

My man . . . you "can't relate to it?!!!" Come on, be thankful that you haven't experienced it, but appreciate the degree to which he taking you into his inner world. All-time classic.

[@choruzvargas4009]

Bro he know where she heard it from 😂

[@RageFiend]

Probably my favorite rap song ever

[@kaidms]

Facts. The story telling is on another level

[@micperez819]

For real

[@TheRealBrotherRob]

This reaction is hilarious cuz Jill is vibin and Ryan is totally perplexed tryna understand why Scarface has a bloody nose lol

[@therealartvalero]

He seems more bothered that she was that into it 😂 that’s a classic song

[@ironhorse6688]

The white girl been listening to these songs way before she met the dude next to her lol she got a lot of soul in her

[@bcole1637]

I respect your honesty bro...I love it when reactors actually react instead of loving everything they here frontin for the camera, lol...anyways, keep up the great work, you and your queen

[@bcole1637]

@Jamie Lee yea, I pretty much got that info the other day

[@jaimebarba619]

Dudes a dousche n he’s obviously judging his girl. Stupid.

[@joeybigler9413]

One of the greatest songs ever.

[@redscorpion9325]

"Dont pause it right there"🤣

[@derrickthompson6664]

Texas has and will always have the best music and real content!

[@markgiordonello6710]

representing h-town to the fullest!

[@noodle7725]

The girl knows the meaning behind the song, listen to her

[@CTidda23]

"So we Speeded up the pace" is one the dopest and funniest rap lines of all time😂😂😂😂

[@r.thomas9648]

Been watching all your vids. I smiled so big as soon as she said she already knew & loved the song. Made me subscribe

[@RD-nq7fl]

I am from Texas - we played this song 🎧 over and over as kids - 5th ward-

[@derrickthompson6664]

The greatest song ever to me! I felt so disrespected a young mumbled used that track!

[@roberthimself7813]

Home girl has great taste.

[@josephwatts9013]

This song addresses mental illness in the hood because it is something rarely talked about it’s as if the world thinks that people in the hood are just rotten people, but if you ever grew up in the hood, you know that the things people do, cause all types of mental illness. When Ryan says why is his mind playing tricks on him, he is saying what is not said but understood, about a hood dude going thru it because of his “hood” dealings hope that helps

[@personperson3326]

She is not happy in this marriage she understand the message of the song but he's just in to rock and roll 🤣

[@systerkeno]

I think it’s hard to understand but that paranoia is really common in /suburbs/ghettos .

[@dawg40fn]

Made if they smoke some weed with some angel dust, then they'll probably understand

[@TB-vz3oj]

Love your guy's channel. Cool to see you guys enjoying hip hop and trying to like somthing you're not used to. Please react to some essential Tupac songs. These will give a full spectrum of his diversity and give u a better understanding of his passion. Left out more of the "harder" songs because it seems like you guys aren't there quite yet. Great reactions still. Tupac- Better DayZ, Tupac- letter 2 my unborn child, Tupac-keep ya head up (music video), Tupac-I ain't mad at cha Tupac-my block (nitty remix), Tupac-thugs mansion (acoustic version)

[@MrRodro3000]

This song is about being in the dope game and trying to survive living in the ghetto, hence their name, also the fear of reaping what you've sown .....😱😈 Check out a group found by the late great Easy E call (Bone-Thuggs n Harmony) watch their video "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" 😁

[@mictlanlopez19]

MrRodro3000 there it is. everybody trying to define the meaning but you got it

[@blexican546]

The Caucasity of the dude! Jill you go girl!

[@gamexsimmonds3581]

If you only liked songs that had lyrics you could relate to your own life, I doubt you would like a lot of metal music. Like I love hallowed be thy name. But I have never been awaiting death in a cell, about to be hanged while contemplating God/Death/The Afterlife. Similarly In the song Represent by Nas he talks about how on the mean streets of Queens Bridge he and his posse keep guns for anyone who looks at them wrong, or out of town folks who come around poking their noses where they don't belong, and for dirty cops. My life doesn't at all relate to that. But I love the song. I think that is the beauty of music. I can be introduced to things I've never thought about or I can listen to stories about experiences I will never experience. While appreciating the music that was made to accompany that message. I hope you can do the same.

[@jaimebarba619]

Ya, fair enough

[@phar0ahad3]

Method Man ft Mary J Blige - All i need

[@zyriah7892]

phar0ahad3 yess, I think y’all would like it

[@ryanramsey3741]

I'm not gonna lie me and my boys straight robbed older trick or treaters on Halloween 🎃 when this song came out. 6 of us dressed in all black with Jason mask's 🤦

[@ds2k15]

You should listen to early Kanye to understand the hype. "All falls down" and "through the wire"

[@jonasamorim4958]

She was into it, great to see this

[@monden636]

Y'all should do "25 Loghters" by DJ DMD feat Lil Keke and Fat Pat. Then go back and listen to ZZ Top's cover of their song. Very cool back story of Houston artists showing love to other Houston artists across genres.

[@coolgamehelper]

Y'all got to check out Big L one of the most promising mc's who died at 24 (I think) Either, do his song Platinum Plus or Da Graveyard to see his skills

[@mackl8305]

Toxic._.Neuer dudes not gonna be able to follow big L.. punchlines will go over his head and hes gonna say he cant relate.. you gotta give him fun music to listen to

[@johngipson759]

They are describing PTSD

[@yesdex5996]

Thats a classic real life in the hoods

[@OG_Fernando]

Geto Boys song that really made an impression on me as a kid - Crooked Officer

[@rottieshepcalibre9156]

bushwick kills it.. "it wasnt even close to halloween" and Gill dont need to say much shes so damn cute and cool

[@jw1415]

Jill appreciates the art...Every poem or painting isn't relatable, but deserve appreciation...

[@damnthisuser]

She's cool he seems like a lost puppy. She's invited to the cookout.

[@TheRandomChatSeries]

Totally subscribing to your channel . 80s and 90s rap is the best. This shit now SUUUCCCKKSSS

[@thelion1856]

Oohhh shit! Here’s a good one for you to do: Bushwick Bill “Ever So Clear” the whole songis a true story that happened to him and is a good song! RIP bushwick bill

[@Mahlercougar]

I like to think of this RAP as an ALLEGORY of mental illness. Each of the Rappers talk about a certain personification of the serious mental illness and paranoia that comes with that life of a drug dealer and what happens with the cops or the people that they might have wronged. Scarface - SCHIZOPHRENIA Willie D - PARANOIA/ANXIETY Scarface - SUICIDAL THOUGHTS Bushwick Bill - HALLUCINATIONS

[@theguardianarchives433]

This

[@babyjesuslovesme1219]

I love metal and this song and video stuck with me since a kid

[@redstep-child3096]

Wonderful song. Love how dude whiffed his hair like a model.

[@Marshalli04]

I think he doesn’t really understand that their minds is playing tricks on them. N the shit they was doing made them bug out. Everybody had situations where their minds was playing tricks on them

[@jerrywebb893]

She clearly a metal/hiphop head

[@MrDavis-nb6fu]

Rip Bushwick Bill

[@garykent9202]

Great song! Eric b & rakim. Cool g rap.

[@gamexsimmonds3581]

Kool*

[@D5301]

This song is actually about addiction to crack/cocaine and the effects it has psychologically, the drug was very popular among black urban folk during the 1980’s & Early 90’s, which is when this song was released. But it’s also subliminally about Scarface and his personal psychological issues in his life.

[@tekiup]

It has nothing to do with that, it's about psychosis as a whole. Paranoia and schizophrenia, in relation to street/thug life. It's directly dealing with mental health, and that stress - breaking point.

[@zerocool9772]

Love your page guys!

[@blesrockoner902]

Correct. The mental health in the black community, none the less. It's a time capsule.

[@shigggypiggy]

Lmao you asked why's he paranoid? And i just busted out laughing

[@reggiebrown9508]

Juice crew:the symphony the longer version. (You better off watching the video)

[@crookedthacon]

Yes “ Ever So Clear” by Bushwick Bill-the little person at the end.He tells his life story,and ultimately the true story of how and why he shot his own eye out.A MUST WATCH!

[@TheDemonMonk13]

willy d is legend rhymed sword with paranoid lol

[@scottgreen6731]

It’s a classic sample by the Late Great Isaac Hayes Hung up on my Baby. From the soundtrack Ironically named “Three Tough Guys”.

[@jazzrama2]

Nice!!!! This is classic. You guys should do Bushwick bill ever clear. The story of how he shot himself in the eye. True story.

[@Gunnercv]

She feeling it

[@johndevine3955]

The song is the first hip hop song to address mental illness and Schizophrenia

[@TheRandomChatSeries]

One my all time fav rap groups growing up. You should do reaction to Digital Underground HumptyDance

[@mackenziewilson6636]

You guys should react to Eminem ‘Hailies Song’- it’s a softer Eminem song and he actually sings in it. Might change ur perception of him a tiny bit, I think you’ll actually reallly like it

[@thekillakrook1764]

Why is he paranoid?? He just is..lmaaaoo that was hilarious

[@dereksandos536]

RIP Bushwick

[@byrdman82]

Jill is awesome lol

[@bigg7047]

Love this song. Yes its old school.

[@derricknichols5787]

You have to really look. They explain all the reasons they are paranoid. Scarface explains it. This should've been Jokers theme song.

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

EVER SO CLEAR.

[@karljjr]

This song is describing the life of a thug and or drug dealer. To help you better understand Hip Hop stories rappers at this time were hood genius and or prodigy of poverty. This stands true in history when you think about your greatest philosophers were poor growing up.

[@kwanwallacephotography5145]

1.J.Cole-Brackets 2.Meek Mill -Stay Woke 3.Rapsody-Betty Shabazz 4.Rick Ross- Triple Beam Dreams 5.Drake- Too Much 6.Kendrick Lamar- Feel 7.T.I.-Blackman 8.Nas-Nas album done. 9.The Game- 100 10.Nipsey Hussle- Dedication

[@lude4u2nv]

you guys should do a reaction to The Convicts - Illegal Aliens. the rapper in that group is the same guy that use to write for the geto boys and other houston texas rappers. MR 3-2, rip to him... this song is for sure something you will never hear in today's world!!!

[@cearly1696]

Bruh...its a song about mental health...drug addiction...cmon now.

[@cearly1696]

And the pressures of growing up in an unstable environment and lifestyle....

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

Every street kid can relate to it.

Bushwick Bill is my favorite too.

[@Kayodoms]
