Rapper FIRST REACTION to Bruce Hornsby & The Range - The Way It Is! Oh Wow

[@mileshill7196]

“But don’t you believe them” is probably the most important part of the song, as short as it is. Each verse is a short story about things we are conditioned to accept in society. Whether it’s racism, poverty, or classism, these things CAN be changed in spite of what people who benefit from them would have you believe.

[@lperea21]

Absolutely 💯. And Tupac left that part out 😢

[@stephaniefain1863]

Humanity will find our way out to free air,or we will die. In the grand scheme of things, I don’t think we matter all that much, and cause more trouble than we are worth. Folks have to realize, we arent killing the planet. She will go on, with or without us. If we want to stay, we have to love, nothing else will save us. “Hey old man, how can you stand to think that way?’ Is a warning. And we better listen to it.

I LOVE watching you react to older music. I'm 65 years old, and I feel blessed to have had 50 years of music, all genres, in my life. This song played on the radio over and over again because it's so good. That's just the way it is........✌️❤️

[@emmysdaddyguy1083]

Ditto, and I’m 77. My folks introduced me to jazz and swing in the early 50’s - what a ride it’s been!

[@Mainecoonlady.]

I’ll be 65 in a few months. Music was always playing in my house as far back as I can remember. From Dean Martin to Ozzy!!! Always goes back to talent, musicianship and songwriting. Music is not born in an electronic device, it’s soulful. It’s creating art from the heart, about love, community and good times. Younger generations have lost out listening only to one genre. We had it ALL. We are the luckiest generation in music. ❤❤❤

[@MrPolleyr]

I am almost 72 years old and I want to enlighten you on a couple of points. The first band I was in back in the late 60’s,was called “Proud Flesh”. Three white guys and a black lead singer. We played Grand Funk Railroad, James Brown, Beatles and Jackson Bros, etc. we played dances and people of every colour, shape and size showed up and we “all” had a ball. If you actually look back on real clips from the 70’s to mid 80’s there were very few race problems. Shows like American Bandstand was on every week with a completely mixed crowd and guest artists from every genre and style of music. Many groups were mixed race and many tv shows were multi racial…….but, around 1981 I found faith in God and walked away from the bar bands and secular music for the next 45 years. (With no regrets) but….Recently I started watching some videos and see that the music industry and society to a large extent got “high jacked” back in the mid to late 1980’s and race and music got separated into factions that had previously disappeared back in my days. It makes me very sad to see that society has gone backwards from where we had been in the 1970’s. I don’t blame it on the people, I blame it on the governments and the media companies that make money off of keeping us separated. W have all been lied to and manipulated to hate and fear each other…..because “some” are making money off of our manufactured dislike for each other. But like this song says…..”they say, some things will never change..BUT….don’t you believe them” !!!!

Bruce Hornsby is a virtuoso pianist, singer, and songwriter. Another exquisitely beautiful song written and performed by him is 'Mandolin Rain'. He also wrote the melody to Don Henly's hit, 'the End of the Innocence'. I love Bruce's voice best on his version. And, Bruce is still performing his treasury of hits today in his late sixties. I am amazed at the speed of his fingers on the piano-he is very underrated.

Check out Bruce's other hits: "Mandolin Rain" and "Every Little Kiss".

I felt the same way about Stairway To Heaven and Do You Feel Like We Do back in the 70's.

And that was at a time when our only alternatives to the radio were vinyl records and 8-track tapes.

I'm with you on that one. In 1987, I was 17 or 18 years old, and the last thing I wanted to hear was some socially conscious piano ballad on the radio. WHERE ARE THE PARTY TUNES?!? LOL. When you get older, it hits differently. Now, it's one of those that you turn up instead of turning off.

I was so baffled. I am a child of the 70's, I've heard of all the greats, even if I didn't know their names at the time, I've heard of them. What is worse I knew who Robert Plant was because I loved Sea of Love as a teenager in the 80's. I thought he was a one hit wonder; I had no clue he was a rock legend. I didn't discover Led Zepplin until I started watching reactors reacting of oldies I grow up on. One day they reacted to Sea of Love after I had recently become aware of Led Zepplin, that's when I put two and two together! I felt Dazed and confused! LOL! I can only guess that the radio stations my parents listened to didn't play Led for some reason? Maybe played them at night? I don't know. It is a weird feeling to have missed out on something that you shouldn't have. It's like where was I and what was I going to miss out on something so huge?

Polo, I listen to you all the time. I just subscribed. You don't realize how lucky you are. I am 61 yrs old and grew up with this music. It was coming to me from all angles. I never had the time to break down each song and realize how great they were. You are doing that for me and I want to thank you for that. I have a million songs in my head that would probably blow your mind. Your wife is a lucky woman, God bless you and never stop looking..
