This guy has been combining uncomfortably honest lyrics with that incredible voice and wicked licks for decades and I love him for it. He’s so far ahead of everybody else to this day that it’s astonishing. No one else moves along a lyrical theme like Everlast, and he so often turns it around so cleverly you’re halfway down the path before you realise he led you to a mirror into your soul that shines a dim and fitful light. It’s art, really.
I hear you brother, all the way back to house of pain. This guy helped me though shit most would be able to deal with. Eh from us Canadians. SHIT isn't that easy up here either.
I've probably played this song over 2,000 times and it never gets old... His guitar licks have this unique funky groove to em that is unlike any other artist I can think of, and catchy af 💯
This cats songwriting is so goddamned good.... his lyrics are insane!! Been a fan of him since the rhyme syndicate days!! Always thought he was sooo underrated and I was definitely right. Just keeps getting better!!! OG Everlast you the king homie!!! Keep layin em down brother!!! Shits dope af!!🔥💯🍀🔥💯🍀
my favorite artist. saw him in Milwaukee last year. 2008 saw him and he gave me his set list. 93 soul assassins and in Chicago with rage against the machine. he is awesome!
@Chef Jeff every white Rapper owes this dude respect whitey Ford has been doing this since 1989 began his career with Ice T and rhyme syndicate then house of pain to winning a Grammy with Santana.
Everlast has been tested over the years and hes still around doing his thing is his own style. Love his music and own all but his latest album. Keep it up O.G. BEEN A FAN SINCE HOUSE OF PAIN..
Life hit my man hard, just like it does to a lot of us. I can relate, and I know many others can too. It’s like a homage to my ways in the past. Some have quit those ways some never do. But you can hear in his voice and see how he looks and feel it. He mostly regrets that lifestyle. But a part of him doesn’t. And that’s the back and forth we have to grapple with everyday mentally. Sounds like just a dumb song but actually it’s saying alot. And the video is saying just as much. I feel this.
I love this guy, every and anything that comes out from his mouth is wisdom to your entire life, no matter what you are or how you live. And has this taste of country music that suits so fine, makes you want to remember every word
I was a H.O.P fan boy back in the day sham rocks and shenanigans. Everlast has inspired my guitar playing and song writing with out question. Always keeping acoustic jams fiction rockin..love it!!!!
The guys been ridiculous his whole life and his music is always on point. and when he started with la coka nostra, it was like getting babe Ruth off the bench. Can't wait until he comes back to Boston
I have some brothers uncles and cousins who we only meet up once every other year and we have a few joints and a few beers too..lol Like a family reunion tradition but only some of us.. Some are so anti drugs they think weed is a drug🤭..
@@matthewhall7976 that’s what’s up my uncle moved from were we’re from to Florida and I’ll from the midwestwest so I haven’t seen him in a long time and he brought an ounce for just me and him last time I seen him in person before w few days ago I was 14
Wicked Blow me away every time man, been a fan since day 1 when I heard ur lyrics and rhymes That voice to, so distinctive Know lots ppl my way would sure luv a show
If I could put into words how grateful I am to be smack back in the memory of singing this with my best friend... Thank you. Music and scent are the two strongest senses. I don't know if anyone understands that... But for a moment he was here. I'm so happy for this!
I can say that cliche thing of I enjoy all types of music but that's not quite the truth I enjoy what sounds good to me my musical palette is all over the place but I got to say I could listen to this song every single day of my life it's up there on my list of best songs ever that I think this is one of the best songs ever written and I love this version of it
As American as Apple pie! Some people think you're gangster, but to write the songs you do, you gotta see, more so feel life thru the eyes of others man.... Few people can do that, the only other that comes close was Johnny Cash.... It's plain to see you LOVE making music! I'm sure there's a thousand more songs to come! Thanks for always keeping it real whitey! 🤙
I know right I remember watching him when he first came out he was casting on MTV that was back in the '90s but he has come up I listen to anything and everything he's a bad dude he's got a couple other good songs out too I give him my thumbs up
I'm on my bullshit Bar-stool pimpin On a southern fried chicken On a whiskey-soaked August day And she told me last summer That she lost her only lover 'Cause he's got himself locked away He was cooking meth, trippin' She was on a pole strippin' Just American as apple pie Now she's looking for a lover 'Cause she wanna be a mother Trying to show me that she's ride or die She looks a little bit weathered But she's down for whatever And she probably knows a trick or two Says she got a few friends If you got a couple ends Boy they'd probably let you fuck them too I'm on my bullshit Smokin' and drinkin' Just wasting my time No worrying no thinking More women, more wine I'm on my bullshit Smokin' and drinkin' Just wasting my time No worrying no thinking More women, more wine I'm on my bullshit Drinkin' with some trouble 'Til I start to see double And they put me in city jail Sometimes you may have problems And the only way to solve 'em Is to always walk around with bail I lost a few nights And I lost a couple fights Blacked out on a whiskey binge I sold a lot of ticks Fucked a bunch of hot chicks And a couple that might make you cringe Got to keep it one hundred I'll say it if I done it Don't give a fuck about how you feel All you cheaters and liars With your cheap amplifiers Talk about how you're "Keepin' it real" I'm on my bullshit Smokin' and drinkin' Just wasting my time No worrying no thinking More women, more wine I'm on my bullshit Smokin' and drinkin' Just wasting my time No worrying no thinking More women, more wine I'm on my bullshit Low temp dabbin' Pistol grip grabbin' I'm a chrome plated man of steel Severely underrated Occasionally I'm hated 'Cause I like to tell it how I feel When push come to shove Got a whole lotta love For the people still holdin' me down Made a whole lotta ends And I kept a few friends Whole time I've been fucking around I'm on my bullshit Smokin' and drinkin' Just wasting my time No worrying no thinking More women, more wine I'm on my bullshit Smokin' and drinkin' Just wasting my time No worrying no thinking More women, more wine I'm on my bullshit
A musician who has had drastically different appearances the past 30-some years, but his voice and music have remained steadfastly similar. And amazing.
