[@SewerRat4Ever7]

The story is based on a true event

[@Sosa2litt92]

On limewire type shit

[@thesilenthermit_02]

Sad how many young men walk the same path as William did "So if the Devil wants to dance with you, You better say never Because a Dance with the Devil Can last you forever"

[@LaticiaOrtega]

Dance forever with the devil on a cold cell block cause that's what happens when you rape murder and sell rock

[@Hermit__]

It's a Classic

[@sharkoblox]

Shit slapps

[@BTKYG]

Do some people just totally disregard the words its obvious

[@TRUEROOTS2022]

Everyone remembers when they first heard it

[@2loosesav674]

Im from da uk and this is a long & deep story but it might be worth listening seeing your comment made me remember it all. I remember I had just turned 10 And I’m kicking ball on the Astro turf n my big brothers ppl was in the hut smoking up they was basically my olders/OGs n they used to look out for me like they’d Give me a bit of money to go to the shops type of shit. I remember taking a break from football n I was sitting in the hut with them ended up smoking weed for the first time and that song come on everybody’s speaking n bussin jokes while it’s playing but I’m there high Asf zoned out just listening to the lyrics and I hear him at the end of the song saying how the story is true. It sounds dumb but that song fully opened up my mind to the reality of the streets and almost made me desensitised to a lot of things I used to avoid being in the crowd but from there on out I’d be there watching my olders rob & jump ppl and not feel any way about it then Soon enough I was in the mix robbing and jumping ppl 2. Even tho I didn’t wanna do it in the moment I just found myself tryna be accepted. Age 12 I got a taste of my own medicine, I was tryna fit in the group then one day I found myself alone without my group being robbed by older ppl from another area I ended up getting robbed stabbed 5x in my right leg after that my big brother took me under his wing and I inherited my brothers problems , found myself frontline in a postcode war with 2 different areas 1 area was my brothers opps & the other area I was warring with was the ppl who stabbed me that day. Im 17 now and gained fuck all from it my older bros left that life behind so I inherited my brothers battles just to end up fighting the war on my own🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ve been arrested for 3 aggravated robberies only charged for 2 been arrested for 2 stabbings/ “section 18 gbh wounding with intent” one of them stabbings wasn’t done by me but I still took the charge for my friend since he poked the guy who was about to stab me from behind I got bail then later on down the line the victim refused 2 testify so I dodged that charge then I beat the other stabbing charge and got NFA cuz of a alibi. At this very moment I’ll never forget this song bcuz of how much I related to “Williams” story. Young kid who seen the older lot doing bad shit then found himself getting his hands dirty in search of acceptance but when I got stabbed that group wasn’t there to help, when I got arrested they never came to bail me out. Same way when William found himself on that rooftop none of them ppl tried to talk him out of jumping, they helped him get in that situation but never helped him get out of it. They let William die and killed his mom and forgot and never spoke about it and as I sit here I now realise that if I had died when I got stabbed & robbed in that Forrest they would’ve forgot about me and never spoke about it same way they did with William. It started with me being horrified n confused while listening to that song that day in the hut and it ended with me relating to Williams story more than I ever thought I would only difference between mine n his story is the fact I never found myself doing some super twisted shit like what happened on that roof . Just goes to show for any young kids that that song might not be fully 100% true but when he speaks about William being misguided and exploited is 100% true & only when it’s 2 late will you realise them ppl you inspired to be don’t give af about you and how misled you’ve been. So Yh that’s why I’ll never forget the first time I heard this song bcuz whenever I think of certain parts of my past I think of this song & when I listen to certain parts of that song I think about certain parts of my past. If you came this far I appreciate it fr cuz it feels good to actually get shit of my chest so I thank you for hearing my story 💯and I’ll sleep easier by telling myself that maybe just 1 person can learn from this song and also my story and make better choices than me. My experience has pros & cons it’s fucked my mind state up but I’m glad I went through it so when I have kids I’ll know how to spot the signs of them being misguided

​@@2loosesav674 Man I luckily was never in the street live and won't be. I recently listened to this song and just thought "fuuuukc". I used to think that this "street life" isn't as bad. But after listening to this song I am still shocked. God sent you a warning back then and I'm happy that you didn't ignore it brother. Stay safe and blessed.

[@EeveeGOTY]

this song genuinely gives me chills thanks for covering it mattyballz

Check Vinnie Paz too!

[@gregDino32]

Non phixion is the shit ! They can rap their asses off .

[@Saint_Terra]

This song feels like the first time you’ve listened to it every time. Something about how brutally he talks about it and the dark ass piano beat

[@grimmy7591]

it wasnt his own crew that did this He wanted in a "harder" crew that made more money and they told him that he could prove he was cold hearted enough by "raping a bitch" so they took him out at 2:45am on a rainy night and the rest is the same as follows.

[@SetiSupreme]

Yup only part that wasn't right

[@peaches741313]

Do you think the crew knew that was his mother? Cuz in the song they did say they made Billy go first ...

[@cristianherrera7615]

Bro i was shook at 18 i cant imagine how scarred you were at 13 ☠️☠️☠️ i hope you paid attention to the message and never danced wit the devil 🙏💯

[@Cloikkk]

I think i was 14 or 15 and i was scarred for life

[@SpaceHov]

This song never forgives or paints Billy in a positive light, as this is always what he wanted, and only felt disgusted when he found out it was someone he cared about, his own mother. He didnt care the whole time he was beating her to near death, as the song says they broke her jaw and ribs to stop her from screaming and pleading with them. He didnt care when he and then the rest of them raped her. He only cared when he realized she was his mom. It just shows he wouldnt have cared if it was someone else. Him killing himself does nothing to redeem himself, as he literally cant. There's nothing for him, no forgiveness, no peace, no nothing. The Devil didnt tempt him, Billy opened that door himself, and shut it right behind himself. Aint no going back, he was just another demon

[@bobby6009]

Immortal technique is a living legend He doesnt have 20 albums like many other rappers but he proved himself to be one of top lyricist. His knowledge of politics are noticeable as well.

[@goldtomlin3438]

People say Meet the Grahams is the scariest hip hop song of all time, but this right here... is the original nightmare, the song you do not want to listen to on repeat. It's too disturbing, sadistic and dark but great storytelling and definitely deserves at least one listen. It's a powerful song.

[@mjgibson3525]

the reason meet the grahams is so crazy is because its a diss to the biggest rapper with pdf accusations but dance withthe devil is much worse

[@Cyktar]

nobody sasid that about meet the grahams

[@goldtomlin3438]

@@Cyktar And you got that from reading 1 comment?

[@xJahsheen]

Meet The Grahams was considered one of the worst out of diss tracks, comparing it to Dance With The Devil is a pale comparison. DwD will always top Meet The Grahams. No contest

[@daniellloyd6474]

it's dark but the rhyme schemes and flow mixed with story telling 🔥🔥🔥 all of his other music is good as fuck too 💯💯💯

[@KgD5310]

The Piano gives me chills

[@cindychiuchiolo3785]

This is one of the creepiest songs/stories i have ever heard. I still remember the first time i heard this song about 10 years ago. This is one of those songs that you can NEVER FORGET

[@dm23music48]

Remember my friend showing me this song I'm High School or middle school. Pretty damn good wild track and story that I hope prevented people from choosing that path in life. 💯

[@La_motavation]

Those lyrics still give me chills Coming from that environment it’s sound crazy but every possible

[@Pepeletruth]

It reminds me of Nirvanas "Polly", it's the only song that makes me feel unlike most songs today

[@MrShenanigans28]

It literally sounds dark though...that eerie piano.

[@Starlin-e2f]

Is the realest song ever 🥶…am 41 and when I was growing up this song always checked me living in ny .. I put people on to this song … they looked at like I was crazy but little did I know they started listening 👂

[@SpongeBob_912]

Hell nah, the beat is eerie most of the time.

[@HunteR-uc7nv]

remember hearing this for the first time when i was like 11. First time a song had ever actually changed my perspective lmfao

[@darius5066]

This is the most hilarious recap of this song I've ever found.

[@rk-kb5rw]

My housemates at the time put this song on and then sat watching me waiting for my reaction. We were all very high at the time too. Was very intense.

[@Son-Of-David1990]

I remember hearing this song for the first time. It was one of the fitst times i was stoned and my dude told me to close my eyes until the song was over...bro i opened my eyes thinking i was William and was temporarily traumatized

[@isalovell]

That track is sickening deep bruh!

[@tyx1248]

THIS IS THE REAL RAP GAME LIFE. No need to realize we livin in different life’s in this time on earth and people who spoke about these topics is very brave.

[@JBomb692]

I remember the first time I heard this song. No other song has mortified me nearly as much as this one

[@CapiBBX]

Dude I'm not the typa guy to shed a tear over shit like this but damn, that ending just straight up sent chills down my spine this is like hands down one of the most if not the most fucked up song I've ever heard in my life..

[@Maratsuke420]

This song will always have a place in my mind 🫡💯

[@idontevenknowanymore2744]

This song is terrifying, so disturbing and disgusting but it’s really good.

[@Theyadorealyssa]

The beat is fucking terrifying like some goosebumps shit

[@bonghittaz1502]

Fing great song and is one of my favourites. Just listen to it will send chills down your spine. "He jumped of the roof and died with no soal" sends shivers down my spine everytime I hear it.

[@AdubWoody]

This is one of the songs that kept me away from that lifestyle. It’s always a draw but I refuse to dance with the devil.

Cool video

It’s still so dark

You just told the whole story just more sophisticated

[@shripfriedrice8619]

Watchu mean isn’t dark how it sounds the whole thing feels completely creepy even just the wee piano riff and I don’t feel like it’s easily confused as anything other than what it is. It’s a pretty raw song.

[@SethZ22]

This song is so good that it makes me physically sick when I hear it

[@PrimeNPC]

Rap went from this level of potential to "mummaaa da muma dumma da brah" or whatever rap is nowadays

[@MariamMariam-pb3io]

I heard this song when i was 10 but i was unfazed lol (i never had a reaction to anything for some reason)

[@asneakylawngnome5792]

You left out an important part. The singer was there. He saw William jump off the building.

[@NovaraLilDizz]

Didn't get to the part the other guys didn't care, and finished up what they did

[@SuperDro]

Such a sad song...

[@dakotawest7136]

This is how I know I’m old now because this came out forever ago lol

Remember a dance with the Devil might last you forever.

[@zackw11_gamer90]

Why do i just not care i feel as if i have no emotion to such things i wasn’t always like this whats wrong with me

[@queso.9048]

One thing wrong it wasn't him and gis crew he stepped up to bigger men that wasn't his gang but they were more like mobsters so they made him do sum to the woman who was his mom and he jumped off a building after wards

[@trustfratedinfires6325]

Wow. And I thought whiskey lullaby was bad. Whiskey lullaby is a country song about a young army vet coming home happily to find his wife in bed with another man. She didn't know he was coming home and so it was a surprise for everyone. He left and became a drunk trying to get over her until he eventually "put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger". He was buried underneath the willow tree in their yard and his wife couldn't cope with everything so she tried to drink the pain away just as he did. She then killed her self and they were both buried next to each other under the willow tree. Don't know how this comes into play but at the end in the music video there is a little kid that spots the ghosts of the two lovers holding hands as everyone is walking away after the burial. The end.

[@vincentheartland2088]

This song is unsummarizable. It is sacred. Please do not comment further on it because doing so damages the viewers' perceptions and steels them against the disgust, shock and horror that makes it work well.

[@cold485]

Glad i already know the song cos this would have been a spoiler😂😂

[@Bebepoet]

And listen cus the story that I'm telling true... Was the craziest part

[@zigzagg5434]

William want to make a million

[@marianofara8373]

I literally stopped selling drugs because of this song

[@dakotawest7136]

Who’s real name was William, his primary concern was making a million

[@santiagoedwin715]

I feel like this song it wasn't literally his mother, it was another person but when he lifted the shirt, He seems the woman but in his eyes he sees his own mother who worked hard everyday and comes home late, so william was so destroyed of what he did he jumped off the roof.

[@thomo2127]

[@Tosh.31]

You shouldn't do this... Rob someone of their shock, of listening to this masterpiece for the first time

[@RealMuromets]

You ruined it bro. You gotta listen to the e whole song. Shit hits like bricks first time

[@Welp2010]

i think the woman symbolizes his mother rather than litterally being his mother

[@SetiSupreme]

Well it could be either way. Pretty sure he didn't have to realise the backstory of that girl or whatever so I see it as his very own mother.

[@BarakYisrael]

But this is also a metaphor the mother being society and community

[@doms7568]

When I first heard the song when I found his music it shook me to my core I haven’t listened to it since and even hearing the story gives me chills
