Wasn't a heart attack, he had a defect in heart valve that fus d open and his heart was working overtime, he nearly died because of it, he now has a titanium valve in his heart..
This is a masterpiece. Be kind. Always. You never know what the other person is dealing with. Uplift humanity. Have fun out there. Revisiting this song. Tears for this 65 yr. old. Please. Be kind. Always.
Not so much these days, but many m any albums in the 80s-2000's were meant to be heard from start to stop in one sitting. As an entire experience. Every Tool album should be listened to from start to stop, just like every Eminem or Gorillaz album. Lyrical story telling across multiple songs is awesome!!!
The 90s were an interesting time. We had gangster rap. We had some of the best party anthems come out. But we also had songs that made you feel. Like Zombie by cranberries, lightning crashes by LIVE, and Everybody hurts by REM. As you may have seen in videos and memes genx had to show no emotion at home, their parents didn't want to hear it. We had to go to music for all the emotions we had. So the popular music was very diverse for that decade.
I was in high school when this came out. It’s one of the few songs everybody was jamming back in the day. Hip hop dudes and metal dudes all loved this song
He had a heart attack/issue and almost died in between HOP and Whitey Ford. All his albums still have rap songs mixed with blues/folky. Some of his most famous songs are with Santana. Check those out.
I always think of the water as a visual of how the people feel. The weight and stress of real situations feels like drowning or suffocating at times, with the judgment of others just pouring more water on top of you
I love this song because we don't know what it feels like to walk in someone's shoes Many houseless people feel ashamed to ask. I believe in the treatment of human kindness 🙏❤️
When life gets better for you, sometimes the tragedy of what is happening around you is something you see clearer. I am privileged in that I have a place to call home. There are a lot of people who sleep rough on the streets and that isn't right. I love the line "God forbid you have to walk a mile in his/her shoes, then you really might know what it's like". Brilliantly empathetic lyric. I love this song. He also does a song on Santana's album. Song is called "Put Your Lights On."
Everlast (Eric) was a neighbor, our daughters were friends and classmates. Amazing artist and a real solid dude. He still tours on occasion and doing well in life.
Heard this since it came out (I'm 54) but never seen video. Song has always hit. We never know what others have suffered and we need to be kind. Suffocating/drowning pain. Always be kind.
He got bigger and made his voice louder by doing what was fun and popular. He had something to say but wanted a bigger voice before doing it. This is often the mistake people are making when they say an artist "sold out". Very often the early work was where they sold out. Later work is very often what they really wanted to do all along but just needed to get in the business first.
There seem to be three settings: in the city, in a deserted town, and underwater. And to me it says you can be surrounded by all kinds of people, and yet feel like you're all alone, or you're drowning/helpless in spite of all the people around you.
when we take time to appreciate this scene: my gf went through the whole abortion thing. in hindsight it ruined her life. i wouldn't wish that existential problem on anyone. period.
Nor should it be anyone else’s decision. I’ve been through all 3 for different reasons at different times in my life. Forcing someone into a decision when in X amount of months you, some stranger, are nowhere to be found. In fact, they are taking money meant for the poorest of the poor and using $5 million to build “new gym “ at U of Miss plus $1 million “finders fee” to Brett Favre. His daughter plays volleyball there. But somehow it’s welfare bankrupting us 😂.. not favors behind the scenes between politicians and executives at corporations and crap.
Growing up in the 70's, 80's and in my 20's in the 90's was the best. We always knew black music. It seems like black people missed our cool shit. It's great to see you finding it young man. Let's just call it music and leave the race out of it and make the country and world a better place.
Everlast "changed" from House of Pain to this by accident. It wasnt cause of his heart issues or losing his band, or DJ Lethal's success in Limp Bizkit, or any of that. He had recorded most of this album and was living with the producer while they were recording it. One night the producer's wife heard from the back of the house Everlast playing around on an acoustic guitar and humming this song, she woke her husband up and he went and asked him "what is that" and Everlast said he was just fucking around, the producer told him "we are recording that tommorow" and that is what led him in this folk rap direction. There are stil a bunch of hip hop songs on this album and all of his future solo records.
Wow, I know this song from the 90's by Everlast but I never really listened or cared to look up the lyrics back then because this type of genre wasn't my thing, still isn't honestly. But after reading the lyrics and comprehending the background of the singer, I appreciate the song a whole lot more. All of these issues he brings up in the song still resonates today, but even more strongly, sadly. I wonder what today's politicians have to say when they hear this song...everything they've done in the past 20-30 years has only exacerbated the problems today. I feel like we need more songs like this now and spread more love than hate, maybe that will start something. Thanks for letting me review the song with you!
It truly breaks my heart that people don't understand this video.. all of the people the he mentions in his song are standing right in front of him watching him play each individual scenario that you're witnessing in the video is what's playing out in their heads as he's playing the song...
Everlast is the kind of cat to keep his feet in the water of multiple genres. He has returned to rap multiple times, usually working with groups such as La Coka Nostra (which is basically a House of Pain reunion), Dialated Peoples and Warporn Industries. He retains the Whitey Ford label for his blues music and did his own blues version of several House of Pain songs, including Jump Around.
He had a heart attack and nearly died and that shit changes your life and you realize what it is like to be alive 😮❤ and what kinda life do you want 💗 appreciate life.
3:20 What made him go from House of Pain 'Jump Around' to Blues music? Wow. Somehow, for more than 20 years I missed asking myself that. Cheers man, I dig that.
Everlast had his first appearance in 1989, on the song "What ya wanna do", from Ice T's 3rd album "The Iceberg". At least that's where I first heard him.
Your videos are amazing. Great selections. Have you ever heard Funkdoobiest by chance? 'Rock On' or 'Dedicated' are in a similiar vein to this. Also, Cannibal Ox 'Iron Galaxy' - great lyrics. Keep up the good work...
I'm not sure why he decided to change up his music. It's somewhat like Kid Rock who also started off in hip hop. Everlast did rejoin his former House of Pain members in a new group called La Coka Nostra (which he later left). A bit of trivia - the members of House of Pain went to high-school with Ice Cube.
He originally was set out to do this type of music and however it went he met this and that person and ended up going on to House Of Pain. House of Pain was on Tommy Boy Records who also put out the first Cypress Hill at that same time period. That's why those two albums sound so similar. Check out Cypress Hill "how i could just kill a man" 💯🔥
You never know another person until you have walked a mile in their shoes. This is of course an update of an old Native American phrase. But the theme of this piece!
Everest started out as a rapper with Ice T. Try going back a ways. Everylast, The song "I got the knack" Or Ice-T and the syndicate(Ft Everlast)- "Party".
Everlast had always played guitar and like singing. He bursts into song occasionally on House of Pain songs. When the group split up, he just had an opportunity to make something really creative. There's a great interview series by Open Mike Eagle called 'What Happened Was' and he does a string of episodes with famed A&R Dante Ross who recounts his role in supporting hip hop artists like Beastie Boys, Busta Rhymes, Ol Dirty Bastard and Everlast on his White Ford album. It's some of the best Hip Hop History. If I was to recommend one more song with Everlast it would be I'm An American by La Coka Nostra. This was another hip hop group he formed in the early/mid 2000s getting his old House of Pain crew back together with several other notable underground emcees. I'm An American also features B-Real from Cypress Hill, a long-time close friend with Everlast (and Eminem).
I saw him live at the Beale Street Music Festival a couple years ago. I listened to HOP and Everlast, Im 80s and 90s kid. I see a lot of my icons from the day, MFers be looking old asf. It was cool seeing Everlast on stage, old man chilling in a chair, and playing all his good stuff.
Essentially, everlast was burnt out, had some health issues, money issues and needed a change, he had some homies drag him out to get away from it all, he had always played guitar and just started working........ Next thing this album was out and he was cemented
being part of a crew is one thing - sampling records, MC'ing, studio life, tours etc.. vs the pure simplicity picking up a guitar and singing the blues.. then you really might know what it's like
Everlast is an interesting guy. After House of Pain, he became Muslim and his music had more of an element of bigger things- empathy, ethics, compassion, etc. He did a fantastic tune with Carlos Santana called "Put Your Lights On."
I remember this song course I was nearly a teenager when it came out in the late 90s. It was always a pretty impactful song to me or at least one of the what most impactful songs. But it took me awhile to see the music video about a year or so. And I know this is going to sound deep very deep but the way I always figured the music video was. From start to end was about these people who were misunderstood are misled and even get wrapped up into things that makes it hard for them to escape it. While those who lived the perfect life who know nothing of it judge those whose life is different from theirs a life that is not what Society accepts. In the in the water represents a graveyard to these people who could not live with themselves due to this abuse unfortunately as a consequence they ended their life. Then at the end of the song the people you see looking at the perfect family Are the souls of the ones who are gone thinking to themselves maybe they could have led a different life if they had been given a chance. Honestly this is the way I've always figured it to be the song's messages never judge someone because you don't know What inward struggles their suffering with. But this is my interpretation of the music video other people may have their own and they are welcome to it. But great reaction video.
amniotic fluid. That's what the water represents in this video. When we are new to this world we are at our purest. When our eyes our blind to that is happening to us, that's when we become human again. It's waking up and realizing I can do shit differently. FYI iy also represents a rebirth for him, in his change from House of Pain to being Everlast.
Everlast still putting out music. Check out his song from a couple years ago called “Slow Your Roll”. He’s older , looks a lot different , but the song and video are dope.
Sometimes, people harbor and internalize a lot of pain when they are younger. It tends to be expressed through harder rock or rap. They may not find a way to express it in a calmer manner until they mature, which comes out as a softer style of music.
Thanks Man, Thanks for the music I didn't know anymore like Everlast and Beastie Boys. Greatings from Germany and try to react to our german 2000‘s stuff like Samy Deluxe „Weck mich auf“ or ASD „sneak preview“
Plz do "Eminem - Quitter ft D12" That is the ULTIMATE diss track to (Whitey Ford) Lead rapper of House of pain and Lead singer of Everlast.. Eminem DESTROYS HIM!! Plz react!!
Are you from Philadelphia? You say “wooder”. That Everlasting jawn is one of the greatest songs of the 90s. Realities different people from different sects of life have to go through.
![Everlast - What it's Like (Music Video) [Reaction]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/OF292lFoGwc/mqdefault.jpg)
He had a heart attack at a fairly young age and knew he had to make changes in his life. He slowed down and took it all in. Appreciate life.
Wasn't a heart attack, he had a defect in heart valve that fus d open and his heart was working overtime, he nearly died because of it, he now has a titanium valve in his heart..
You’re right in that it changed his music. Being close the death made his music significantly more serious.
Ain't no Stalin when death come calling!
I know first hand about heart problems. 6 heart attacks and 7 heart surgeries so far. Only 47 years old right now.
This is a masterpiece. Be kind. Always. You never know what the other person is dealing with. Uplift humanity. Have fun out there. Revisiting this song. Tears for this 65 yr. old. Please. Be kind. Always.
Totally agree. Just be kind.
This entire album is incredible. Needs to be listened to in order in its entirety. I realize we don’t do that anymore, but truly, it’s worth it.
I absolutely agree. Entire album was a gem and he made his own genre in every song.
Totally right!!!!
I listen to albums like that still, especially Pink Floyd
Not so much these days, but many m any albums in the 80s-2000's were meant to be heard from start to stop in one sitting. As an entire experience. Every Tool album should be listened to from start to stop, just like every Eminem or Gorillaz album. Lyrical story telling across multiple songs is awesome!!!
Its a song about tolerance. Something this world needs a lot more of.
More people should give this song a re-listen.
The 90s were an interesting time. We had gangster rap. We had some of the best party anthems come out. But we also had songs that made you feel.
Like Zombie by cranberries, lightning crashes by LIVE, and Everybody hurts by REM.

I always think of the water as a visual of how the people feel. The weight and stress of real situations feels like drowning or suffocating at times, with the judgment of others just pouring more water on top of you
This song kind of went off in my life like a bomb in the 90. It changed my perception of a lot of things. Good reaction man.
I love this song because we don't know what it feels like to walk in someone's shoes Many houseless people feel ashamed to ask. I believe in the treatment of human kindness 🙏❤️
The golden rule to live by treat others the way you would want to be treated yourself
That dude has FAR too much talent for the planet. 💯
When life gets better for you, sometimes the tragedy of what is happening around you is something you see clearer. I am privileged in that I have a place to call home. There are a lot of people who sleep rough on the streets and that isn't right. I love the line "God forbid you have to walk a mile in his/her shoes, then you really might know what it's like".

Love his music, this song is timeless
90s is where it's at baby! Go down that rabbit hooooole! You're welcome, signed GenX
Just a great artist period. Legendary dope MC and singer songwriter
The older you get the more life lessons you experience and with age comes wisdom, thats why i think he wrote this song.
Everlast (Eric) was a neighbor, our daughters were friends and classmates. Amazing artist and a real solid dude. He still tours on occasion and doing well in life.
Heard this since it came out (I'm 54) but never seen video. Song has always hit. We never know what others have suffered and we need to be kind. Suffocating/drowning pain. Always be kind.
This song still gets me.

This is often the mistake people are making when they say an artist "sold out". Very often the early work was where they sold out. Later work is very often what they really wanted to do all along but just needed to get in the business first.
his independent stuff is wonderful. a fun little side song with a crapload of energy is "right to death"
Great reaction...u got the point...im 63....so much music keep ...listening....cheers
There seem to be three settings: in the city, in a deserted town, and underwater. And to me it says you can be surrounded by all kinds of people, and yet feel like you're all alone, or you're drowning/helpless in spite of all the people around you.
I think the scenes of each character drowning is a metaphor. They are trapped in their situation and feel like there is no way out.
dude. you keep watching some everlast i'm subbed for good. i was born 84 an this guy has been a big part of my music for a whooole bunch of that.
when we take time to appreciate this scene: my gf went through the whole abortion thing. in hindsight it ruined her life. i wouldn't wish that existential problem on anyone. period.

Everlast doesn't get enough credit IMO. Try Ends next.
Growing up in the 70's, 80's and in my 20's in the 90's was the best. We always knew black music. It seems like black people missed our cool shit. It's great to see you finding it young man. Let's just call it music and leave the race out of it and make the country and world a better place.
Just DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF LIFE! 🙏🏼😢
Whats this 25+ yrs old. Im 53. Its as relevant today. Cant judge people for shit you aint been thru!
The end, says it all. All of us thst didnt grow up with privilege, watching at what were supposed to be.
We reg jackasses drown on our own.
Good music is good music, no matter the genre. A true artist bares all of his or her thoughts and emotions through their music.
Everlast is the God-Father of todays “country rap” IMO
He was young in Jump around But here He has seen some things. As you get older you get wiser.
Everlast "changed" from House of Pain to this by accident. It wasnt cause of his heart issues or losing his band, or DJ Lethal's success in Limp Bizkit, or any of that. He had recorded most of this album and was living with the producer while they were recording it.

There are stil a bunch of hip hop songs on this album and all of his future solo records.
Thanks for letting me know that. This song hits home for me. I've been homeless myself.
He also got with Carlos Santana and did Put your lights on that's my favorite!
More of a rock/hip hop/blues mixture. Great song regardless
I like songs that are more stories than poems.
I still believe Everlast I get by is one of his best songs
Wow, I know this song from the 90's by Everlast but I never really listened or cared to look up the lyrics back then because this type of genre wasn't my thing, still isn't honestly. But after reading the lyrics and comprehending the background of the singer, I appreciate the song a whole lot more.

If you started in the 80s and are still making music today you must evolve
“Everlast don’t jive, just like Pearl Jam, I’m still alive”!
One of my favorite songs. If you haven't already, you should do "Lightning Crashes" by Live.
I heard him say in an interview that he imagined what would happen if Johnny Cash ran into Run DMC in a dark alley and decided to make music together.
Everlast is the kind of cat to keep his feet in the water of multiple genres.

Everlast had his first appearance in 1989, on the song "What ya wanna do", from Ice T's 3rd album "The Iceberg".
At least that's where I first heard him.
It’s about how the rich and well off people look down on people who struggle
Your videos are amazing. Great selections. Have you ever heard Funkdoobiest by chance? 'Rock On' or 'Dedicated' are in a similiar vein to this. Also, Cannibal Ox 'Iron Galaxy' - great lyrics. Keep up the good work...

The older get the more fun you have, but it comes with painful experience. Still worth it.
Remember this cat from back in tha day. Actually got this album. Brother was slowing down a bit. Yeah, he was in House of pain.
He originally was set out to do this type of music and however it went he met this and that person and ended up going on to House Of Pain. House of Pain was on Tommy Boy Records who also put out the first Cypress Hill at that same time period. That's why those two albums sound so similar.

You never know another person until you have walked a mile in their shoes. This is of course an update of an old Native American phrase. But the theme of this piece!
i could be wrong, but from what i remember, he had a near death drowning in his pool, and reevaluated his life.
great message --- have always liked this song
Jump around lol... but also the a Victim of EM's quitter diss!! I'm a stan BUT BUT BUT. THIS TRACK IS FIRE
His slowed down acoustic version of Jump is pretty great too.
Everest started out as a rapper with Ice T. Try going back a ways. Everylast, The song "I got the knack" Or Ice-T and the syndicate(Ft Everlast)- "Party".
Everlast had always played guitar and like singing. He bursts into song occasionally on House of Pain songs. When the group split up, he just had an opportunity to make something really creative.

I love all his music. So good
All of his albums have hip hop influences in them
I think because their drowning in the toxicity, that’s why underwater
5 hour bypass surgery after a massive heart-attack took him down the blues route
his rap are about story' in is life
Essentially, everlast was burnt out, had some health issues, money issues and needed a change, he had some homies drag him out to get away from it all, he had always played guitar and just started working........
Next thing this album was out and he was cemented
Love to see the youngins listening to their history!
Music should be a required class, like math!
being part of a crew is one thing - sampling records, MC'ing, studio life, tours etc.. vs the pure simplicity picking up a guitar and singing the blues.. then you really might know what it's like
Everlast is an interesting guy. After House of Pain, he became Muslim and his music had more of an element of bigger things- empathy, ethics, compassion, etc. He did a fantastic tune with Carlos Santana called "Put Your Lights On."
Ends and Lonely Road are also bangers
Now you need to Check out his video “Slow Your Roll”.
I remember this song course I was nearly a teenager when it came out in the late 90s.
It was always a pretty impactful song to me or at least one of the what most impactful songs.
But it took me awhile to see the music video about a year or so.
And I know this is going to sound deep very deep but the way I always figured the music video was.
From start to end was about these people who were misunderstood are misled and even get wrapped up into things that makes it hard for them to escape it.
While those who lived the perfect life who know nothing of it judge those whose life is different from theirs a life that is not what Society accepts.
In the in the water represents a graveyard to these people who could not live with themselves due to this abuse unfortunately as a consequence they ended their life.

Honestly this is the way I've always figured it to be the song's messages never judge someone because you don't know What inward struggles their suffering with.
But this is my interpretation of the music video other people may have their own and they are welcome to it.
But great reaction video.
I’m 46 years old and just now found out this is the same guy from HOP.
Isn’t that the animation movie about a rabbit
great song about real life
amniotic fluid. That's what the water represents in this video. When we are new to this world we are at our purest. When our eyes our blind to that is happening to us, that's when we become human again. It's waking up and realizing I can do shit differently. FYI iy also represents a rebirth for him, in his change from House of Pain to being Everlast.
Good Tune
I think the underwater scenes were mainly about being over your head and not knowing what to do. A reality for lots today.
He had a heart attack right before he made this album!
my lady in an earlier life had to make that choice and it's haunted her forever. they tell you how easy it is. they're lying about that.
This is a good video of the song back when artists made good videos. The talent has changed, you won't see good kids like this in 2023.
Bone, thug and harmony did this song also
Everlast still putting out music. Check out his song from a couple years ago called “Slow Your Roll”. He’s older , looks a lot different , but the song and video are dope.
Sometimes, people harbor and internalize a lot of pain when they are younger. It tends to be expressed through harder rock or rap. They may not find a way to express it in a calmer manner until they mature, which comes out as a softer style of music.
This is dude from House of pain - jump around
Thanks Man, Thanks for the music I didn't know anymore like Everlast and Beastie Boys. Greatings from Germany and try to react to our german 2000‘s stuff like Samy Deluxe „Weck mich auf“ or ASD „sneak preview“
He was in House of Pain and did Jump....
Great song from the 90's, lots of truth. The video intro could be better, but great song to react to ;)
😢😢😢EM HAPPENED!!😂😂
❤😊
Smokin and Drinkin by Everlast, is his best song IMO. @RiskRaines has an RDO vid of it, if you do anymore EL reactions.
❤
Plz do "Eminem - Quitter ft D12" That is the ULTIMATE diss track to (Whitey Ford) Lead rapper of House of pain and Lead singer of Everlast.. Eminem DESTROYS HIM!! Plz react!!
Are you from Philadelphia? You say “wooder”. That Everlasting jawn is one of the greatest songs of the 90s. Realities different people from different sects of life have to go through.
Fun fact all the actors are actually people he found walking the street
