My dad was an alcoholic when i was a kid, this video hits me hard because i know how it feels to have nothing, but to learn that the past is the past and you have to move on no matter how hard it is, my dad has been sober for 4 years now, the memories hurt, but i forgive him. I love you dad
I still remember the first time I seen this video and felt like I had a connection with it, yet I was still so young. Odd feeling that I still think about to this day, growing into a kind young man, trying my best each day. Hope you all are too!
One day I was home after work and custody issues were taking a whole toll. I fell apart. This came on I knew i listened cuz it was Classified. I was so mixed raw emotions and I fell the floor on my knees in my empty home. I KNEW then it wasn't gonna be easy... i just listened. I felt too many things about the situations. How was i ever gonna live...the balls to walls is litereally what i applied. So that's what I did that year forward. Just apply and move ..do it until your body hurts. Research. Live. Everything happens once. Not twice, i lived, and learned this with my parental custody battle.. the courts dates, lawyers,middle officials, and my houses, cars,..jobs. work..professionalism...like i not okay..i couldnt really have any thought. I felt broken..this brought my seconds back made me pause.. I litereally switched my mindset. I felt alot of work I had done...I hadn't known then It was gonna be another 6 more long years....I realised this day gotta really stop.. my day was way too much. I was relieved to hear this ..I just bawled like a freak of nature. That was only the half way point.. glad to share I now won. Who knew then.. glad i never ever gave up. Thanks
Classified: The only rappers that don't brag in their songs. The only real rappers that create songs with deeper meanings. Because of this, they have my respect.
Desiree Sun to be truthful Macklemore cashed in on a subject thats hot and made a lot of money from( I Hope he gave the proceeds of that songt to progressing knowledge not of just the gay awareness but a general acceptance of difference. I gots mad respect for his song and his influence that he got from I guess his gay uncle, but to say he conscience or even on the same standing as class is misconstrued as being hip hop when it really isn't. Macklemore is hip pop. and there aint nothing wrong with that. good music is just that.
I think one of the hardest things in life is wanting to have a loud voice or more importantly, wanting that voice to be heard. We're all so caught up in our lives. Please take a second to realize the people that surround you... Sometimes, they need you and sometimes... you can save their lives.
My dad died due to complications from alcoholism which is why I'm sober today. I can relate to this song so much. I can't even begin to thank my dad enough for setting an example for me. Love you dad miss you
I am so sorry about your Dad. And be proud of yourself every single day for being sober. I have unfortunately lost way too many people to addiction..and being an admyself (now sober), I know what a hard walk it is. So keep going strong.
I recently lost my grandpa due to cancer and my dad hasn’t been handling it well since he’s an alcoholic but this song has been in my life since my uncle introduced classified to us and my grandpa liked the meaning in this song and every time I listen to this again,it brings me back to when we would listen to this song while going on a drive while the sun was setting. I thank you class for making this music to help me keep going ❤️
Still one of the hardest hitting Class songs out there. Not enough attention being given to this man's body of work despite the level of talent possessed.
Classified is one of the most underated, true/real artists ive ever heard. Notice how he doesnt rap about money, sex and how many bitches he gets? But yet he goes hard, and has great raps about things that actually matter. Stay classy Classified.
24 now and I'm still here. I'm dad now. My baby brother has his own house now. I'm moving to a whole new province in Nov. Crazy how time flies. I miss everything.
My dad, drunk, left death threat on an answering machine after my mom left him. When he learned what he did after he received a court letter, he couldn't stand it. Sadly, his decision wasn't to stop drinking. He thought we hated him. It's a shame he has never listened to us. Life went fast for me after his decision. I made mistakes, kept trying to stay afloat. Now my biggest regret is he'll never see my 4 kids.
That's a sad situation but everything in going to be alright. My girlfriend always tells me that. She's right even though I don't always see it that way. This is just a game. Life never stops.
3:18 The Danforth. Born and raised in this area and we look out for each other. Huge shout out to Square Boy, Greektown! Love this area and even if I move, my heart will always be here.
I remeber when this first game out. I loved it then. Even tho I changed as a person it still holds its meaning. Such a strong song. Thx classified. You mad underrated
You know, my parents are always saying that Rap/Hip-hop is worthless as a music or art-form, but every now and then, I like to prove them wrong, and this video is one of them, showed it to my mom and it moved her to tears. Damn good Work Class, drop by Lethbridge AB again, missed you when you were at the Blarney Stone last year.
Just discovered Classified today. Gotta love this guys style! I am 44yrs old and this reminds me of the positive Hip Hop message from back in the days.
Man I totally forgot about this song, literally went and found my old Apple ID and this was on my old purchases. So buying an iPhone after so many years of android brought me back here.
Class was one of the best live acts (Evolve festival, Nova Scotia) I have ever seen in my life. Love you, Class. Peace and love from a fellow Canuck in China.
There is a youtuber called Dan Bull, he does a lot of raps about games but some of his best work is the songs he makes about life, and politics which has nothing to do with games. give it a shot. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V9EbQcIvVqE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VEvfhAdq_-I.html
It's sad that even in Nova Scotia they never play anything good like this on the radio, just the same 20 classic rock songs and the same pop songs all day every day.
i found this song, early in the morning on november 1st. by the end of the day, my closest cousin to me in age was dead. I am incredibly thankful to have this song around right now. Thank you Class, You're amazing and i love you and everything you stand for.
Everyone is fighting a battle. We are all trying hard to keep our head up. Remember that when you get mad at someone. They are probably going through some shit, and you maybe overreacted because you are going through some shit. Forgive. Forget. That's a lesson we haven't learned yet.
this guy won't make it HUGE he don't rap about killing about each other ,guns , and money . this guy sings about his life good job bro I listen to all his tunes I tell all my friends about him so maybe someday he will be big
Hearing this song, with three kids under 13, is what made me want to be a better father for them, and shortly after lead to me giving up booze. Mad respect to all out there. “Stay Classy”🤟🏻
Both my parents drank... lost their lives to cancer, me and my brother drink heavily and hardly keep in touch... this video makes me want to change things
i'm born in USA but i"ve grown in Quebec, Canada. And to be honest if you love where you Live is good enough than i'd still say i'm canadian (or *quebecois* for the francophonic people) and when you love your country, your pride shouldn't be a social defensive reaction to someone else if they are foreign too yours. :)
The most unrated song in history, class is the best man, I got so much respect for this dude, hope you see this, and hopefully come back to capebreton sydney man !!
Coming back to this song and video brings back memories of a year ago. things change but the great part about music is it'll always be waiting for you to come back. Very simple but powerful and artistic song as well as a video.
this song made me think long and hard and even made me cry abit but im glad i did cause i finally forgave my dad for leaving me forever and never saying good bye :) R.I.P DAD!
Classified has always been real and stayed real. Years passed, he still does his best. You can tell he really loves Hip-Hop. I'm glad there still artists out there still being real. I'm glad I'm from Nova Scoita too. One Love for Class!
I never felt this guy before, this song is dope though. I feel every word of it, I did not think he had a song like this in him. I was born in America and I live in Canada because im "dual citizen" I dislike both governments and education has lead me to the conclusion that people will always be people with little to do with what side of the line they are born on. Sick song!
This is only the second video I've watched by this guy and I've already decided to recommend him to everyone...I'm live in America too, I could give a shit where people are from, I recognize talent.
Hey if you feel the grass is greener, our charter guarantees every Canadian the freedom of mobility, you have the freedom to stay in anywhere in Canada but if your family drives you crazy the charter also allows you to leave. I wish you the best no matter where you life takes you! And the best health to you.
I am so happy that I finally found this video. Always loved this song, and the song for the credits is fucking PERFECT. I wish so much that Class gets more recognition. Whenever I want to feel a wave of nostalgia I can turn on some Classified I'm gooood.
The last time a song hit me this hard was an Eminem song, and so say you gave me the same kind of goose bumps Eminem did, its sorta life changing, so beautiful and so much passion, brought tears to my eyes.
