Smoove Diggity nope. Wildside was based on real life events including Charles and Carol Stuart story that Mark mentioned. in 1989, Stuart falsely alleged that his wife and unborn child were shot and killed in Boston by an African-American assailant. Stuart's brother confessed to police that Stuart himself killed them to collect life insurance, and Stuart subsequently committed suicide.
I feel we should have an IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: There is absolutely nothing funny about the Stewart case. Nothing. But dammit I absolutely lost it at 3:12 - “Waddaya know? Sure as a sea gull’s got webbed toes.”
@@conorbarron2389"Legit thug" Lmao. His most infamous crime was the racially motivated beating/blinding of an old Asian man. Just sounds like some weak punk s*** to me, but I guess everyone has their own perspective on thuggin.
I literally found out he was a rapper today...from twitter. I’ve heard this song plenty of times, never knew it was him rapping, I’m officially mind blown. 🤣🤣
He did an excellent job in Four Brothers as Bobby Mercer and Instant Family too!! This was the joint back in the day!! Stay away from the wild side y’all!!
The departed & The fighter were excellent. Also Ted was fucking hilarious and Italian Job so much fun. Boogie Nights was a masterpiece but very awkard to watch. Also The big hit & The corruptor were two fun late 90s action flicks with Whalberg. He has an excellent career, also The other guys is a comedy classic and Fear was not bad, nice performance and movie. Three Kings & The perfect storm were two others really great movies
I’m 35 years old and just now discovering Mark Wahlbergs music. Had no idea he did “Good Vibrations” as well as these other songs because I wasn’t allowed to listen to rap growing up in the 90’s.
@@sunlightofthespirit-tarotr8805 ummmm back in the 90s there were plenty of groups and artist who were conscious rappers who didn't have any profanity or hypersexulization in the music.
Idk why im 23 rn hearing this for the first time and its really touching. My sister deals with drug abuse. Maybe if she listened to this when she was younger something would of changed. Just i thank you all for those who choose not to walk on the wild side
1991 in nyc, covenant house is where I discovered this video. Something about positive music in times of crisis. These days youth are flooded with negative, toxic music
At 3:55 This song is a true story except the girl was 12 and a different vehicle no mercedes was involved. What the heck they framed this on teenage black man too.
Wow. I had this on cassette tape. Lol. I'm that old. 🤣 No but seriously, this is pretty deep lyrics. I appreciate it & understand it a lot more now I'm a adult. 🔥
I think I had the tape as well. We are old LoL..... Another one around this era was Naughty by Nature - ghetto bastard Really good lyrics on that one too
В пятнадцать лет я ушёл из дома на три дня. С пацанами мы ночевали в подвале соседнего дома. Я не знал о депрессивности текста. Я слышал любовь, я засыпал под кассетник. До восьми повторов. Плейер мотал только вперёд, и я мотал назад вручную. Тогда я ещё не курил траву... Эта лучшая работа в музыке. И конечно фильм «Стрелок». Затем я слушал Эминема и прочих, но так уже мало кто мог спеть. 1991 год. Эта музыка помогала не сойти с ума. Не нужен перевод и картинки. Картинки в голове: это тёплая метель и бабочки во всём организме. Хороший товар из США.))).
I sometimes find myself laughing while watching one his movies because this is how I was introduced to Mark Wahlberg. I was like 11 or 12, and Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch were all the rage...even I owned the album. Far cry from who I am today too. Lol...he’ll always be Marky Mark to me. I find it equally funny when someone who only knows him as an actor discovers his early career for the first time. Gives me all sorts of chuckles...lol
ALL the stories in related here were real. It was this song that was the last straw for me. I lived 2 miles a mile from where Tiff was killed, and my daughter was 3. A few months later the dealers blew a house off it's slab all that was left was the slab (Thank god they were not home).But between that and Tiff getting killed in the middle of the day, and i lived in a middle class neighborhood, with "Hood" less the 2 miles away. Although I was born and raised there, I was done!!! My baby was not going to be a victim of death and/or drugs. I raised her on a small island/town in east coast Fl. I thank God everyday I made that choice!!! Thats Mark, for helping me make that choice.
Oh boy, do I remember being 14 years old , being hooked on Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch. I remember sleeping on the street after the concert, cuz the train hom left too early. I wanted ALL the concert. That's a hillarious memory I have of Marky mark and my young years....Took the train home the next morning. But I wouldn't miss it for the world
@@amirshakir6493 Thanks for the great interpretation of Wildside. Do you know if the sax player is Dave Eiland? Looks just like him, but I didn't know he played with Marky Mark.
HBO has a new documentary series called "Murder in Boston, Roots, Rampage & Reckoning" about race relations in Boston. This song is about that era in the 1990s, based on true life stories.
I'm here after watching Murder in Boston: Roots, Rampage, and Reckoning. The second Verse is everything, I didn't know Marky Mark had a conscious rap record.
I cried for Tiffany. I was young when this came out, I liked the sound...the dotodotodo and the sax. I didn't catch the rest of the lyrics until now, going back and seeing with older eyes.
Damn, I forgot about his songs. He was always good at what he did and still is. He was always in great shape, too. I wonder if he could still sing like this. ❤
Gosh how did I overlook this song? I totally remember his other hit song "Good Vibrations" but never even heard of this song until now, I'm surprised this song made the Top 10 during its chart run.
Had such a huge crush on this man in the 90s as a teen. I was like, this white boy can rap, dance and looks good!?!?! The movie Fear cemented it for me. Marky Mark could stalk me anytime! /s
Back then, Good Vibrations was the only song from Mr. Wahlberg I had heard, or at least the only one I remember. I looked up his side-career to see if his song was a one-hit wonder. Saw there was also this song. So I look it up on RU-vid just now, and already I wish I had heard of this song sooner.
Love the storytelling in this song. These tragic bite-sized tales always creeped me out when I was younger. The last two verses are actually true crimes that happened in Mark's hometown of Boston. He even uses the real names of all the individuals involved.
Heavenly Father im thankful to actually be able to comment on any video of Mr marky mark was my favorite one favorite rapper of all time I get flashbacks of suva int ..best actor he is to I pray blessings for him 🙏love you bro
"Back when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark This is how we used to make the party start We used to mix hen' with Bacardi Dark And when it kicks in you can hardly talk"
