The person that died on September 18th was Devonshay Lofton aka Gucci or TimTim, Gucci is what the G in Polo G stands for. He was one of Polo's closest friends
Powerful song. I don't come from the same type background, but I find this applicable to so many different life circumstances and just learning and growing as a person through hard lessons. Really good reaction.
Barely holding on is sum deeper than a song. It goes into the hard lives that people have to go through and how it may be tough but if you just hold on a little longer, it might get better. Respects to Polo G and his creative music
This is the first video of yours I've seen and i just have to say, you are really the only reaction channel I've seen to really focus on the lyrics and what they meen, not just the vibe of the song but what it represents... instant sub
My dad died a few years ago (2021 to be exact). It’s been taking a toll on me ever since, this song makes me remember others can feel as bad as I do. Love yall parents man, one day they won’t be there for yall and you’ll feel it. Trust me
There are not alot of songs that make me emotional, but at the end when the people were talking to the camera, especially the boy in the chair really got me. Its crazy there is all these gang bangers out there killing people for no reason..let along children
Yeah I cried , I Can’t just see a young man sitting there telling me his that basketball helps him escape the memory of the shooting that took his ability to walk and not shed a tear it’s really heartbreaking
Much Respect to ALLL the Real Women doing they dang thang! Watched my own mom dukes so I know women can be the strongest most affectionate creatures on earth! Keep doing you Scru. Sending love to your Fam 💙
In the first verse, Polo seemingly references his late friend Devonshay Lofton, who was killed in Chicago on September 18, 2014, at the age of 16. One byproduct of the tragedy is that Polo feels grateful to be alive.
I actually think that the line where he was talking about sending shots that's why his top leaking, I think that was in response to the line about their thoughts tweeting, I think he was stating the top leaking line as an example of the sorts of things that people tweet, so I think, looking at it from that perspective, it actually fits, because he's referring to the brutality of what people are saying.
That’s kind of how I took it as well. Tweeting crazy like that emphasizes the “thoughts tweeted” line. In turn making it easier for other ops and/or the police to “figure them out” which just keep the cycle going. My interpretation at least.
Scru appreciation post!! This man always trying to heal the culture and the bad things happening in it with his reactions. Points out the little things that still aint perfect. Hes just had a child of his own and still continues to pump content out for us to watch. Not only videos but music for us to take away and listen to in our lifes too. Thank you for all you do Scru
Can u imagine how hard this was for him knowing he has a child now and that kids are just recklessly getting popped… this new era gangster shit is beyond insane right now mfs shooting six year olds 😔🤦🏻♂️
this breaks my heart to see i wish people could see that if we were able to achieve world peace and not fight the accomplishments that could be achieved would be endless but sadly people will always hurt other people
4:58 Bro I feel this hard, my dad used to say that he believes the reason god made women be the ones to give birth and not the men or even both is because women can handle the pain of labour but a man would never be able to. RIP him bro wisest man I knew.
The "Gangsta's Paradise" rapper died last September after collapsing at a friend's house in Los Angeles. Coolio performs at Riot Fest in Chicago on Sept. 18, 2022.Apr 6, 2023
2:53 "we blew some shots to shut him up thats why his top was leaking" I think he more talking about people be saying stuff on the internet, and then people respond by sending shots at them, not polo g himself. He talking about how internet diss clashes with real life drilling.
This song hits and means a lot to me cause I was born with congenital heart disease to luckily I got surgeries when I was born and have officially been cleared with no problems
As other people in the comments have said September 18th is when Polo’s best friend Tim-Tim aka Gucci was tragically killed. He references this date more directly on Career Day with Lil Durk when he says: “Tim-Tim lost his life, I bang the same block he died for September 18th, ain’t that the same shit we cried for?” And mentions Tim-Tim in a lot of songs such as Painting Pictures with the line: “Block died, we threw up X's, TimTim died, we threw up T's” And the G in his name is for Gucci to honor his late friend.
Scru have you heard Tech 9 song Drill Sergeant? It also has a good message as he calls out against the violence. I think you would like it. Great reaction. This artist is amazing
3:37 I think that this line seeming tone deaf is probably him showing between the lines how the separation between humanity and savagery can be smaller than we think depending on your path in life
I sit in rehab right now, ive been a criminal and addict to weed and cocaine for years man. I dont want that stuff no more, ive lost everyone. If you Watch this and live that life, please get away brother. There is so much more to life, if i Can get trough this you Can too, I promise.
I didn’t think the line about “why his head is leaking” was tone-deaf. Sometimes when men post their thoughts or feeling that show weakness on social media, they are told they are weak and their feeling should be held inside… which is why he held it in and then killed himself, because instead of providing help and kinship when he reached out, he was left on his own… That’s my interpretation of the line… I could be way off, but that’s what I hear…
@@brysonthompson2 This album was unlike anything he’s ever dropped…subject matter was pretty personal to him and overall feel was beautiful..I loved 11:11, Mama told me, Rocket Power and Greatness 🔥🔥
People I think are getting sick of drill music. One of my favorite albums last year was Lupe’s Drill Music in Zion, where he mostly criticizes drill music and mourns the violence. Favorite line was: “Facts, I wish that they was lying in they raps / How does that transpire / To be so damned by God, you want your friends to be goddamned liars?” Sometimes you have to be reminded that it’s real people that are dying instead of characters in a song/book/etc. even if you wish it were all just made up. This is someone from Chicago who has had friends die and has had friends kill, and has to live with that pain as the violence keeps happening. And you can’t really do anything other than hope it somehow gets better
a really MAD UK drill artist is Official TS his bar are absolutely crazy and this guy should be in jail for the sentences he speaks he can rap good though even if the song is mad Anyone can go - Official TS is a great track with some crazy lyrics
Can just tell sfj ain’t ever seen the hood. Everyone knows it’s bad but it’s never ever going to change and people rapping about the life they live whilst making money has always happened. Some people have had a good life and some have been in a bad life
Wake Up, Screw! Polo G has a way of making songs sound really sad including this one. Like it would slot right in a funeral playlist, but pay attention and it's really only 1/4 of the bars that are about life and death or depression. Most of the rest is him flexing + some gun/shooter bars, pay attention. Still love him though. Polo G is a gifted artist.
The person that died on September 18th was Devonshay Lofton aka Gucci or TimTim, Gucci is what the G in Polo G stands for. He was one of Polo's closest friends
I think Gucci n timtim are separate people he friends with are they? "Rip timtim i remember our last conversation"
Polo lost so many people it’s crazy
My birthday September 18

Von died September 18
Powerful song. I don't come from the same type background, but I find this applicable to so many different life circumstances and just learning and growing as a person through hard lessons. Really good reaction.
I feel the same way

Yes exactly this is how Almost healed sounds like , and I have no words after that , Polo G is incredible
Polo G so good at painting a picture with his words, sometimes its hard to listen for me too. But real progression in art gon hit a nerve erry time💯
Scru you a real one 🙏🏽 this song is honestly so beautiful too polo killed it!

Nothing but respect Scru. Thank you for spreading a positive message. I stand wit you. Much love.

I love your attitude towards the unecessary violence ❤❤❤
My baby passed August 25th 😢 delivered on the 28th at 6am .she was 8 months in you see this message keep going
All my condolences and I hope and pray u get threw this sh*t
Much love❤
You a real one for promoting the positive music coming out of Chicago rather than the violence. Change starts within.
i was touched by the soung the entire time, but that man holdin up his 15 year badge, proud asf, that made me cry
If he really is retiring after this next album this bout to be his greatest album🔥
There are not alot of songs that make me emotional, but at the end when the people were talking to the camera, especially the boy in the chair really got me. Its crazy there is all these gang bangers out there killing people for no reason..let along children

I’m gonna give Polo G some listening to after this. Thank you for showing us some art, Scru.
Listen to wishing for a hero and bloody canvas both by polo g
bro his best 2 songs are bloody canvas and kings nightmare
@@LightningOnFire and wishing for a hero 🤝🏾
listen to epedemic , 21 , black hearted , my all
His best song is “21” imo
Loved the way You talked about Your View Point on Woman and your Wife. Finally some Positivity and Respect Amongst them🙏
Most definitely putting dis on da playlist

Much Respect to ALLL the Real Women doing they dang thang!

Been listening to Polo G since his SoundCloud days and no cap this has to be my favorite song ever from him. Just such a powerful song.
I was literally crying! So beautiful 🥹

dam that last one hit me so hard bro, my sons older brother was shot by a stray n was left paralyzed from the waist down..
"Aint hard to figure him out cause all he's thought are X'd 😔"
💯% FACTS ABOUT POLO & WOMEN!!! 🔥🔥🔥
btw "We threw shots" meaning they drank shots over the coffin in honor of him, nothing to do with bullets or guns
Polo G is my fav mainstream artist fr man. This song is so beautiful

That shirt clean my man, HxH is goated for sure
Thank you for keeping it real Scru, devil is the art of deception, I think we all agree you push nothing but real🙏
My fav rapper Polo G
4:58 Bro I feel this hard, my dad used to say that he believes the reason god made women be the ones to give birth and not the men or even both is because women can handle the pain of labour but a man would never be able to. RIP him bro wisest man I knew.
It really opens up your eyes to the world we live in, especially when you have kids yourself. My ultimate goal in life is to protect my family.
Polo g is one the best rappers out there because he’s one of if not the only one alive that speaks truth
W polo W you can’t wait for the album. And you fs right about the almost healed thing
The "Gangsta's Paradise" rapper died last September after collapsing at a friend's house in Los Angeles. Coolio performs at Riot Fest in Chicago on Sept. 18, 2022.Apr 6, 2023
Big shouts to you respecting woman and all they do …my newborn is breastfed compared to my oldest and it’s crazy what their bodies do
Goosebumps.
perfect timing for me my buddy was on life support and got taken off a week ago. polo the goat
2:53 "we blew some shots to shut him up thats why his top was leaking" I think he more talking about people be saying stuff on the internet, and then people respond by sending shots at them, not polo g himself. He talking about how internet diss clashes with real life drilling.

Polo g is for real the realest artist in the game richt now

U have to do a reaction for his album coming out on September 15th. I think Hood Poet will be his best album to date.
Beautiful track from Polo G, I like how real he is in this. Should check out "Goin through it" by Brother Ali, similar vibe. Thanks as always!
“The lie that Lil Durk told us is really what Polo G is”. FACTS!! That’s a BAR!!!!
True but the album was called "almost healed" so what I think is it will gradually more positive with the next albums
the goat fr
thats going to my playlist
He is so talented
Women might have a higher pain tolerance in physical shit but that mental shit we men got that

"Devonshay Lofton, who was killed in Chicago on September 18, 2014, at the age of 16"
We need that new Rod Wave
Such an emotional and beautiful song and reaction
Please react to Quavo “Rocket Power” album for the culture..
Facts. I think I like Rocket Power better than Quavos first solo album. 11:11 is my favorite and focused with Thug

Thank you Scru. “Gangsters” ain’t shit without guns/weapons. Shoring people let alone kids .. come on now.
a really MAD UK drill artist is Official TS
his bar are absolutely crazy and this guy should be in jail for the sentences he speaks
he can rap good though even if the song is mad
Anyone can go - Official TS is a great track with some crazy lyrics
Lyrical joe - 5th August 7
"This is what Durk was trying to do, Polo actually did it." I got nothing but love for both, but Polo did it right.
If he retires I’m be sad
Good reaction, I like your take - hope you react to more polo g's old songs and his new album coming 15th september!
Listen to the rapper Scorey he's signed to polo G, a very underrated artist. sound just like polo g and talks about similar things.🔥🎵
Can just tell sfj ain’t ever seen the hood. Everyone knows it’s bad but it’s never ever going to change and people rapping about the life they live whilst making money has always happened. Some people have had a good life and some have been in a bad life
Correct polo G Needs protection from these animals leave that man alone
If I had to guess the his top was leaking bar was just so we could picture something polo g has seen that traumatizes him
You made this video and polo went to jail 😂
I think that line you dont likw was just there to give insight or maybe inform us on his past.
Wake Up, Screw! Polo G has a way of making songs sound really sad including this one. Like it would slot right in a funeral playlist, but pay attention and it's really only 1/4 of the bars that are about life and death or depression. Most of the rest is him flexing + some gun/shooter bars, pay attention. Still love him though. Polo G is a gifted artist.
And now he’s contemplating retirement😔😔
what u think abt him talking abt retiring
You gotta react to I love you boy or enough off russ new album santiago
lost on 15th september that mean, polo G drop his album and he retiring from this industry, that mean we lost him
