Just coming back to this video, so many years later, and cannot understate how successful Wax has been at expressing himself and how well he has stayed true to his craft. Wax is an amazing person.
Underrated as well. Honestly I like it that way. He even responded to my message on ig
Waxy poo !!
Same
If I would have tried harder...
2092 AD and this song still rocks 🪨
Remember listening to this as a young teen thinking this wont be me, im gonna get where I want. Now 25 and unemployed I feel like Wax predicted my future lol
Such a mood xD 26 here
@@marbar1617 28 .....we shoulda tried harder!! He was litterally telling us !
Lol, you so young. No worries. Took me 47 years to figure it out. You’ll figure it out.
@@greenthumb9495 26 soon turning 27, still unemployed and yeah lol.
@@poodleman3356same boat
this man needs more success.
Watsky as well.
Seriusly.. Watsky, a guy with an extreme ammount of talent isnt nearly as famous as Miley Cyrus, a ass shacking drug addict. WHY?! xD
Actually to be an ass shaking drug addict, she would need to have an ass to shake
Gregary Sanders You´re right.. but you understood what I meant ^^
He should a tried harder
Wax; a rapper of the people. This dude should be a household name. Maybe he doesn't want to be or maybe he shoulda tried harder. Either way I am a fan.
Art Stone ima fan too bro
Damn, I remember when I listened to this when I was 15. Now I'm 21 and feel I should have taken the message more seriously, I shoulda tried harder and now need to turn my life around. What a wake up call
Bro you are 21/22. You have time just get on that shit now.
It’s not like
Your me and 33.
But I still am gonna (and have been) turning this ship round!
❤️
So you're probably 22 right? Still a young man. NEVER STOP TRYING. Get up off your ass and the fact that you're acknowledging that you made some mistakes already speaks volume of your wisdom. Just keep pushing forward bro.
Sky is the limit.
@@_RobBanks What's wrong with being 33 xD
This is my vibe now
Try harder
Make it rain
"Geographical like a fjord"
That line just made this song about 15 times better
+The Dude That Comments or maybe a peninsula
He was freestyling that too. You could tell.
"or maybe a peninsula"
Big Wax coming through, always...?
I was 15 when this came out. 25 now and it always pops up in my mind. My life is pretty good but damn… I should be trying harder.
Shoulnd't we all ;)?
Shit I was 22 when this came out. I'm a little older now, I promise at 25 you still got a chance. Make it happen dudecool lol
I just got out of working 8 hours at my $8.25 an hour job and this song makes me cry
Me too
I think that wax is trying to show you guys what you could be if you actually try. Do not settle for less, when you know you are better then that.
"Doyle Glazer makes Chuck Norris look like Clay Aiken" hahahaha
yo man this song helped me realize what i was doing wrong and helped me get my life on track thanks bro.
oh ho you
Hey Austin! From India.
What's up? How's is going now?
Well noone is here for that so fuck off with your perfect life.
2:09 I like how he kisses the dog even though he still has a cigarette in his mouth
I'm gonna try harder after i finish watching this video.
or watch another wax video :P
meh do it "tomorrow".....
Yeah, I'm gonna go to pornhub and pull one out quick... but then I'll try harder after that.
dwildhockey24b I just came from there
MillionthMonkey Pun intended, I hope.
There is no doubt about it, Wax will win an Oscar.
Cool Ernie Banks shirt too! Go Cubs!
Love this song.
Mo
This song defines me but whatever fuck it
+SniPeR PvP same same
+NM1337 differentttttttt but still same
+SniPeR PvP AKA Doyle Glazer?
This comment wouldn't be half as fitting without the "whatever fuck it" bit. A minimal effort cap tip to you.
This comment is 2 years old and I still fucking relate
i love wax.. this song goes against all forms of success "if i'd just try harder", but dammit, it's so uplifting it makes me want to try harder.. this feeling would only be accomplished thanks to his lyrical genius brain.. he's so easily relatable, and thats whats beautiful! he doesn't have the singing voice (although i like it) but he has such a genuine and passionate congression about it.. shout out to Wax, i met you in whisper lake, orlando, florida, awesome dude! :D
u have a gift and it's not just Rapping, Ur able to pass the message u want thru music and u can pass it exactly how u want to...flawlessly...I can tell how proud u get when u make Ur music cause all the words you say when u spit them to...
Wax lyrical legend. Dont play yourself.
A great song to procrastinate too
Charles Rogers yes very much sir
WE WANT DOYLE GLAZER
Doyle Glazer and Dale Firebird!
this TRACK just got me on TRACK...i was just in the youtube neighborhood thinking "i havent listened to wax in a minute, and i stumbled upon this. Thanks wax. Much love. Im going to try harder!!!!
Most people won't believe this but I just heard this song for the first time tonight, idk....pretty unbelievable. Now I'm going through all of his songs!
Wax how are you not famous? You deserve it slot more than alot of rapers these days.
+Mikato Bakano Yea a lot more than the rapers nowadays, yeah!
He didn’t try harder
I wanted to like this comment but the rapers is holding me back
The funny thing is he's even trying to get other undiscovered rappers discovered. If you're looking for anything else that's even close to waxes lyricism you ought to check out the Palmer Squares. They are a regular listen for me.
@@ColinDav 😂😂
This guy and Watsky deserve as much respect and fame as Eminem. I love all their songs, tho.
And [B] Rogers
Sour Skittles Don't know who that is, but I agree :)
Does anyone else see the irony here?
RAD!XMUSIC no.
The song is about all of the reasons that he shouldn't be famous... more or less.
That's the irony here.
2021 still loving this song
seldom have I seen a rapper come this correct. this is what music is about. this dude is talented
Your music videos just keep on gettin' better and better man! Keep on keepin on!
listening to this while avoiding studying for finals
This dude is so slept on its unreal
Erin Beach I’m grateful I discovered this guy. He’s Fucking talented
agreed. Remember how you got there Wax? through those raw and gritty freestyles!
Can't wait to see this man make it big, crazy talented.
by the way i love strong as an oak so i ain't mad at the comparison
probably the most sympathetic and relatable Dude out there. i love this guy!
Wax always gets stupid laughs outta me, that backflip at the end 😂😂
Geographical like a fjord. Indeed you are my good man.
huge step up. amazing
The ending when he didnt even attempt the back flip made me laugh soo hard
Wax you're like one of the beist artists I've ever heard. One of a kind. I love all your music and your songs are the only songs I can listen to and never get tired of them! Keep it up man
Best rapper right now. In my opinion.
"Everything is A-OK, 'Cause I'm strong as an O-A-K."
I knew I heard this before
YESSS SOMEONE ELSE WHO NOTICED
❤️watsky❤️
Still here in 2019 listening to Wax!
THIS MY JAM, If only I woulda tried harder...
no one has a realistic attitude about success. most people that try hard don't "make it" just getting off your ass is a bare minimum, you need more talent than most of your competition. And talent is not handed out evenly. After that, the dice take over.
nope actually everything is 100% earned we come with no pre-packaged skills or abilities, skill comes from practice and hard work. 'natural' ability is just when skills you have already honed can be used for another application
c rus
I think what projectP means is skill isnt communism. it is earned but not equally. some people are naturally better at certain things and pick up a type of skill faster than others.
liquidbullet5 that is exactly what i meant. I for one practiced the guitar every day for years (about 11 years) and never really got that good at it. I knew a guy that played for about 3 years and he was a lot better than i was without even trying that hard.
ProjectP
Yup. I used to skate board almost daily for 2 years. friend picked it up and in a month he was better than me. i quit haha
liquidbullet5
lol
This song is amazing!
Dang it, its been 7 years since this dropped and still ain't trying harder!! check back in 2027
ua-cam.com/video/0ZmLapEs3KQ/v-deo.html Smoove 😎😎😎my mysic slapz harder than ah pimp on his birthday 🎂 🎶🎶
Wax does not get the recognition that he deserves. He is highly talented across-the-board acoustic rap you name it the man has style and grace that few of us have
Geographical, like a fjörd. Epic line.
Can't stop laughing haha Wax has the best punchlines
Doyle Glazer makes Chuck Norris look like Clay Aiken. LOLOLOLOL!!!
Fuckin christ, 6 years later and this song still hits harder (and funnier) than I care to admit. I hope you become bigger than freddie mercury some day Wax, you deserve it, legit.
SO slept on. Another banger I've found in the Wax catalogue.
Saw you on Watsky's video, came here, wasn't disappointed.
tiger woods... well i could be talking to you
Try today. The past doesn't count anymore.
Good song
Man catching all these old Diddy lines in songs are like Chris Hansen to catch a puffy 😭💀
I always come back to this song after finals. It's perfect for the occasion.
did you ever think that when you made this video that trump and Hilary would both run for office wax?
Wax says he ain't talking to Hilary Clinton or Donald Trump on the outro...... This was recorded over three years ago... This dude is an election sorcerer. Yo Wax, you got a sack full of crystal balls or something????
Oh yeah, like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump weren't rich, famous, and powerful in 2013.
NO ONE would predict they would both be vying for the position that long ago
Robert Kames Wiler he's not taking to them because they tried very hard because they did become successful. Didn't you notice the people he mentioned were all very successful in their craft?
Naw fam, that's the power of the Orphan Tears
In his song Red, he mentions “ask apple if they’ve invented the iPhone 9 yet”. He can tell the future I guess, they went from the iPhone 8 to the 10 without the 9. 😐
Hey Wax, you have all my respect... a big fan from Transylvania, Romania
Wax & Herbal T= The two most underrated people to ever live. I'm going to go ahead and say it, it is because of the color of their skin.
Sittin there bouncing like he's gonna do a back flip. That's basically me in life. Hahaha. Dang. :/
Yes! Probably my favorite part of the whole thing!
like the beat. similar to watsky's strong as an oak
I love the bear & the beer, & the blunts that the bear was smoking. I like your magic bear who always has the blunts!
well I'm off the couch now
No P. Diddy
the "can't run, i need a cigarette" moment, i relate to so hard
He did his thing...if that's what he wanted, I salute him! 😁
It would be funny if wax knew that lance was dopping
Lance's tours are legit. Everyone was dopping and he still won. If someone says that not everyone was dopping then they're naive as fuck!
just because he was doping doesn't mean he didn't try.
word, you have to train hard to be at an elite level even WITH steroids.
definitely aint talking to donald trump!
LordExavion relative. could you make a billion ×5 off a million? that is, are you shrewd enough to multiply a million 5000 times?
Derek ortiz but he made it in a sleezy way
-2pac
cucks: if i had a million dollars i would be as rich as trump 2. me: you turned a 60k student loan into a 80k debt with ur liberal arts degree and credit cards
Derek Ortiz HE didnt even make it of a million
Derek Ortiz that's just saying are you able to multiple the amount of money you have by five thousand, and I'm pretty sure most people are capable of that

this is the best music video i have ever watched
That diddy line hit alil different now
Dude with the eyepatch was getting ROCKED!!!
The “i ain’t talking to you” diatribe at the end 😂
line about tiger woods is savage. lmfao. "tiger woods, i aint talkin about you......well maybe i am"
Right in the feels.
I miss old UA-cam so harder...I'm so grateful these videos still exist in this space
I'm really digging all of Wax's music. Love the upbeat vibe in this track.
sounds like "Strong as an oak" by Watsky
RagnaRok6 no joke
Don't let em hate wax you got so much style to pin it down to one style it'd be stifilin
Wax has legit got it all fire bars, funny as videos, lit videos, and goood vibes while speaking the truth! 😂🔥
I’ve been listening to Wax since the 80s.
The amazing thing about Wax is how he not only changed genres of music, but also completely changed appearances.
I guess he will do anything to be a musician.
Some say he even sold his soul to his ex wife Lucy Furr.
In the 80s he was making pop and new wave music in Manchester, England and he was known as either Andrew Gold & Graham Gouldman.
He switched bodies so rapidly it was quite difficult to keep up.
For decades he studied under quick change artist and magician Arturo Brachetti to perfect his occultic transmogrification.
With Lucy Furr’s assistance Wax would go far.
When Wax was Graham he even played in the band 10cc for a time.
He named the band 10cc because 10cc of heroin was his hourly dose.
Then in the 90s he began shooting 10ccs of black tar, and ice.
So in day he shot up and slept in an LA alley way an played Punk rock at night.
In early 2000 to current, Wax changed musical styles yet again. This time he studied rap, and smoked weed rather than crack and shooting sweet lady H.
Now his raps are catchy and the perfect compliment to a nice vape or pipe of mimosa, GDP, or GSC platinum, among numerous other strains.
The only issues here are where will Wax end up next and whose body will he steal?
Dont do drugs
Some of y'all are hating on Wax sayin he is merely mediocre or he should quit rapping but if you actually listen to his words you wld know he has substance. Look at some of his old vids and you will see what I'm talkin about.
your music keeps me going wax, love you man
Logged into my old youtube... Remembered how much I loved Wax when I seen this in my subscriptions.
dang this song is deep its like if you were talking about me. thanks Wax keep up the beats
This might be Wax's best music video
Im very happy because the first time i saw this music video was on MtV2 jams music video block yest. morning. Huge song in Europe (rosana), now this? you have DEFF been tryin harder Wax.
I heard this song yesterday, made me feel bad since I graduated high school back in 2009 and didn't have a job. It makes me feel better today, because I FINALLY got a job...Im gonna try harder everyone!
National anthem for this generation
This song sums up my life right now.
This song still makes me wanna step up my pace
Dude I just hear Rosana on the radio in Montreal Canada, and I couldn't believe my ears lol so happy you're getting known all over the world !!! crazy shit
WAX, this is probably my favorite music video and song by you.
Still one of my favorite songs/music videos
Just seen him in Greeley Colorado... people dont know till they know. Hes legit and for real. Amazing how you love rap and all the artist.. then a guy named wax becomes your favorite. keep going wax. they will know your name.
Loved that office space reference.
I woke up to this song on my 20th birthday! Made me think!
wax you're killin
This brings me back man
