I hung out with them when they came to Cleveland and they wanted to go to my neighborhood bar and we went and when they’re song came on they danced like they were in concert and after that we all went to eat at Denny’s They were very normal people… there was some division in the group… The group wanted to be free to hang out But one of them stayed at the hotel didn’t like them just coming and going as they pleased
Yes but their Hollywood managers had a different agenda! They wanted to inject the Ghetto into their culture and they did it by pumping more money into that direction! They wanted the Blacks in US to not succedd! We all know who these shapeshifters are!!! They are the new Nazis!
I truly wish you well and hope your current circumstances are temporary. Hold fast to yourself and who you are inside. You are not your circumstances. Difficulty and discomfort reveal the truth of who we are and what we need. Best wishes.
I pray that you will find a home soon. I was also homeless for a while................. Thankfully God has brought me through and I know he'll do the same for YOU . 🤲🏾
This song is SO FUCKING GOOD! No one makes music like this anymore, probably because they don't care. These days it seems like music is a paycheck. You don't have anything to say. You wrote three lines and stole/bought a beat off a popular song, and now you have a number one jam on the radio/Spotify. And if you don't, your record company will pay the appropriate individuals to ensure that you do. Unrelated, RIP Baba Oje. More bands need someone like you.
This song is even more relevant today, it's not the kind of song you want real; yet here we are. All we can do is keep spreading this message in hopes one day society listens.
True. We never hear the word 'racism' these days at all! We also should definitely listen to Mr Wendals from Skid Row and their life wisdom! Imagine the progress that would follow...
They REALLY need to remaster and re-release the video for their masterpiece off the _Malcolm X_ Soundtrack, "Revolution"... I love "People Everyday", "Tennessee" and "Mr. Wendal", but those classics don't even reach the level of "Revolution", one of the most underrated, overlooked tracks of all time.
I live on the street for TEN years 😢 my Brother's N Sisters back then vas something else Now I Got a Home 🏡 A Family Too God bless everyone ,I'm really sorry for Everything 😢 Love Y'all stay safe I see a better Day's
One of my favorite songs ever. Seriously the lyrics are absolute genius. Everyone has a story to tell, and your status as higher society doesn’t mean shit. Wisdom comes in all forms and is predominantly found in those closest to the ground getting their hands dirty. I love all the mr wendalls out there. You are the life blood of the human condition, the embodiment of the human spirit
@@nickcc2003absolutely. I remember walking down the street in the 90’s with my walkman headphones blasting my AD tape, flipping and rewinding going to work as a grocery sacker at 14 yrs old. $7.00 an hour and I felt rich. Now i make $30 an hour and I feel so broke.
Remembering jamming to this song in the club. It has a strong message. Elderly people have knowledge & wisdom. Too bad most kids today don't have respect for the elderly nor think they should exist.
Thank you for saying that. I work with a lot of young people and you are so right. But there are some who really do and there are a couple at my job who likes sitting with us more than the ones their own age. A lot of things are catered to the young and I can understand that. But usr senior citizens really don't get much of anything. That's why a lot of us are still working 😔😔
This whole LP is so nostalgic. I actually still have the cassette in my vanity because it holds sentimental value. Anyhow, nah that I'm grown, these songs are kinda different. All I need is my bean bag and some Dunkaroos.
I heard this song on the radio while driving around LA recently. On the radio. It was so random and beautiful. It blasted me back to when it came out during my senior year in high school when I was starting to really get into hip hop and the scene was just overflowing with great artists.
Man said, be strong serve God only. I cant explain how over the years this song has made me extremely happy and simultaneously feel a pseudo sadness of deep thought.
I could just cry, I got the chance to see them perform live in Union City, Ga in 2019. It was a free concert outside by the Planet Fitness. I grew up loving this song 🎶, but at the age of 40..the message is SO POWERFUL especially if you ever experienced homeless like myself! Go head Mr.Wendal 👏🏾👏🏾❤️💃🏾#educational and informative!!!!!
39 now and remember hearing this song as a kid and always loved the beat, vocals and everything else, including the message. It'd be nice to here it more often...so glad we can access these songs now, so easily.
I forgot about this precious song until tonight. Brings back such good memories! ❤❤❤❤ made my heart so happy to hear it, I’m sure I’ll be listening to this nonstop for a few days…..
Good to finally see this video. UA-cam is a blessing. I always loved the beat, bass and vocals. Early 90's. Played Arrested Development on cassette then. No internet, no cell phone, no streaming service.
This song came out during my white Minnesotan suburban junior high years. It helped open my eyes to music that was more than just Top 40. Y'all are great for this one!
My Dear 90's!! This brings back so many memories. This song was a big hit even in Nigeria. I really wish i could just go back to experience how i felt back then growing up.
This album still sounds amazing all these years later. Yes the lyrics are great but maaaan, the productions is seriously underrated on this album, some classic beats!
I miss these days! When this came out, I was a gnarly skate punk here in Southern California. This cassette was then purchased in CD form. CD form went to vinyl form, which eventually lead to digital form. I’ve absolutely loved Arrested Development from that day I bought it on cassette when it made its debut.
The way the words he's saying actually ring true even more today makes me so appreciate having music like this as a child. I knew what he meant even when i was younger, and carry it in my head and my heart till this day. Beautiful song for the sad state of our society. Yet a glimpse into the beauty humanity can convey, even in the darkest times.

Does anyone understand the absolute beauty and transparency of this group?!!!! Seriously!!!
I did ❤
I did too! I wish they would go back to this culture!!!
I hung out with them when they came to Cleveland and they wanted to go to my neighborhood bar and we went and when they’re song came on they danced like they were in concert and after that we all went to eat at Denny’s
They were very normal people… there was some division in the group…
The group wanted to be free to hang out
But one of them stayed at the hotel didn’t like them just coming and going as they pleased
Not everyone did, back in the day. Ahead of their time.
Yes ,❤wat a uplifting choon lv it still always will❤☘️
Back when hip-hop had a message.
💯🔥
Yes but their Hollywood managers had a different agenda! They wanted to inject the Ghetto into their culture and they did it by pumping more money into that direction! They wanted the Blacks in US to not succedd! We all know who these shapeshifters are!!! They are the new Nazis!
FACTS!!!
You gotta look up @yellopain
still remembering my schooldays and superchannel (european mtv-like channel)
This song, out of nowhere, has been running through my head the last few days. Its still great!
Fire beat, dope message.
Same!!!
Anyone else still jamming to this song in 2024.
Yes
Just did
And still cryed
Im a sap
Still got the cd i got as a present way back in highschool
2023-08-30 13:06
Yes
REAL Hip hop . Real talent. Real music. No popping bottles and no ass shaking. Just true music and meaning!!
Music back then just hit different... Shout out to all my 80s and 90 brothers and sisters🤘🤘🤘 77" here
50 here..
Shout out brother
82 baby here. ❤❤❤
71yrs old here. Love it
Facts!!! Music with a message…
Never listened to the lyrics as a kid in the 90s I just heard them. As a 40 year old homeless man living off God's grace they sure hit home now.
I truly wish you well and hope your current circumstances are temporary. Hold fast to yourself and who you are inside. You are not your circumstances. Difficulty and discomfort reveal the truth of who we are and what we need. Best wishes.
Same here, never read the actual lyrics today an hits hard
I pray that you will find a home soon. I was also homeless for a while.................
Thankfully God has brought me through and I know he'll do the same for YOU . 🤲🏾
Nice phone
🙏

No the only way to get freedom is fighting for it just read some history
No doubt Cuzz
We need this song more than ever
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
My mom used sing all their songs 😢I miss her beautiful voice May 26,2024
Cheers to your momma. ❤
Sorry for your loss
Let's sing this now for mumma
So sorry for your loss 😢
Hold on to the memories gone but never forgotten! Take your rest mama. From this evil world. One day at a time.
I love Mr. wendall
Arrested Development's debut album is a timeless classic
I'm so appreciative. For real.
dey doN't make em like thiS aNymoRe Cuzz
Yes indeed!!!!!!! Lol
It sure is I listened to it on repeat all month long.
@@DeathFoRliFe60nope I found it a library recently and remembered how much I loved it ❤ .
🦁 How much does this generation needs to hear this message today 😊❤🥂
You are soooooo right!
"Mr. Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways
But we don't hear him talk
Is it his fault when we've gone too far..."
They cant understand thr concept of the songs point if its not mumbled and inlcude brraaaaat brrrraaaat braaaat at the end lol
True. We never hear the word 'racism' these days at all!
We also should definitely listen to Mr Wendals from Skid Row and their life wisdom! Imagine the progress that would follow...
“Be strong serve God only know that if you do beautiful heaven awaits”
One of my favourite lyrics ever! 🙏
Shame that statement is not backed up by any evidence of either a god or a heaven.
Truth
I remember waking up one morning in early 1993 during a cold winter in Queens NY to this song from my alarm clock. Loved it instantly.
Was it a good memory ?
Thanks for sharing
@felixm.1370 oh yeah 1993 in NYC was always good. My favorite year from the 90s.
I can picture that 😊
We need more of this in our world. I love this era. I was so comfortable in myself at that time, but it’s over now.
Glad they uploaded this classic. This brings back so many memories 😢. I was 5 years old when this originally dropped.
this is a really good song
I was 13 years old when this use to be play on B.E.T back in the day
They REALLY need to remaster and re-release the video for their masterpiece off the _Malcolm X_ Soundtrack, "Revolution"... I love "People Everyday", "Tennessee" and "Mr. Wendal", but those classics don't even reach the level of "Revolution", one of the most underrated, overlooked tracks of all time.
@@Jimmy1982Playlists It's Raining Revolution... It's Raining Revolution!
I was probably 15 or 16.
I live on the street for TEN years 😢 my Brother's N Sisters back then vas something else Now I Got a Home 🏡 A Family Too God bless everyone ,I'm really sorry for Everything 😢 Love Y'all stay safe I see a better Day's
Be safe and keep loving life 😊
@@RoxanaJaveBrace thanks again my sister God bless everyone
The Lord is your strength brother 🎉
You better off homeless
Happy for you brother!

i was in outskirts of londona couple weeks ago, in the alley shops and the one bar had this playing. felt good
Well said you enlighten Individual 🎉
Well said, you enlightened Individual 🎉 Best observations I have heard in a Long Time 🎉😮😊
💯💯
NO HALF NAKED WOMEN GUNS JUST TALENT
I can still sense the immense self-righteous pride you felt immediately after hitting 'send' on that.
@@eclectica1 Yea but they got a point tho...
Conscious music is the term..
Their in Memphis Tennessee to morrow and God's will I will be in the house
Well-said. Mr. PS!
'90s hip-hop at its finest
hmmmmmm banger though ❤️
I haven't heard this song in 30 years. It takes me right back to high school in downtown Los Angeles.
Same....but south OC for me.
Same…but the high desert for me. 🌵
This is the rap music we need!
Everything was so original back then
I know, right! Music had meaning back then, unlike the crap of today.
@@josephclegg3562You know for a fact that no current music has any meaning? Seems like a broad and misguided comment.
💯💯
@@liz6445 Are you ok?
@@AndyTerra Reading comprehension isn't your thing huh?
WHERE IS MY TIME MACHINE???? God I miss these days!!
Yes!
You're both using the time machine. This song brought you back in time , in your head.
Called a memory

Remembering jamming to this song in the club.
It has a strong message. Elderly people have knowledge & wisdom.
Too bad most kids today don't have respect for the elderly nor think they should exist.
Yessss
Some kids do respect their elders, even today. 🙏
Thank you for saying that. I work with a lot of young people and you are so right. But there are some who really do and there are a couple at my job who likes sitting with us more than the ones their own age. A lot of things are catered to the young and I can understand that. But usr senior citizens really don't get much of anything. That's why a lot of us are still working 😔😔
Never gets old. Never outdated. Brilliant and blessed music.
Praise Jesus 🎉 🙌🙏
that chorus is legit iconic.
Only now as a adult I actually listened to the lyrics big tune back and even bigger now, thank you 🙌🏾
Im glad i grew up with real original hip hop. I kinda feel bad for the kids today with their souless commercial rap music.
This whole LP is so nostalgic. I actually still have the cassette in my vanity because it holds sentimental value. Anyhow, nah that I'm grown, these songs are kinda different. All I need is my bean bag and some Dunkaroos.
As soon as you mentioned a tape I knew , you knew what you were talking about. We had it so good and I just bloody well complained about everything.
A car driving past my window was playing this so I thought I’d come by and listen again after all these years of not hearing it. Thank you 🙏 ❤
I heard this song on the radio while driving around LA recently. On the radio. It was so random and beautiful. It blasted me back to when it came out during my senior year in high school when I was starting to really get into hip hop and the scene was just overflowing with great artists.
90's wouldn't have been the same.
Massive smile on my face listening to this timeless classic! Thanks for the upload x
Real jam with lyrics for the everyday people...wise words..still one of my favourite "RapEducative"Songs . WORD UP!
I'm white and was homeless levels it as kid got it as adult! Timeless classic ❤
Go head mr Wendell❤❤❤ thought provoking music
Jamming to all of Arrested Development. What a great group.
This is sooooo relevant now in 2024 with our homeless crisis!
When hip hop was poetry.
The synth is on point in this song. I can't think of any other mainstream tracks from the 90's that do it as well.
Da Song Hits Different in This Space Age My Brothaz and Sistaz. Thank you Arreested Development 💯💪🏾🙏🏾
Yes it does.💯
Saw them a couple years ago in Detroit and the performance was tight! i was shock how good they were! I would pay to see them anytime anywhere
this was the last decade of good music and humanity.
Totally agree
Man said, be strong serve God only. I cant explain how over the years this song has made me extremely happy and simultaneously feel a pseudo sadness of deep thought.
The Poor Righteous Teacher collaboration would have been EPIC !!! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
I could just cry, I got the chance to see them perform live in Union City, Ga in 2019. It was a free concert outside by the Planet Fitness.

Bring this back please!❤
words cannot express how much i love this song
This song made u be more grateful for the things u have
Thank you Father in Heaven ❤
Good to see this video remastered. One of the greatest tracks of all time.
Who else went from this song right to Tennessee. Your welcome. Just out here re living my childhood. Closest thing to a time machine
Thank you, sir!
Here after watching a UA-camr reacting to Tenenessee
I came here after Tennessee
❤ after Tennessee & Everyday People, miss my cassette!!!
Nah I hate Tennessee. Go back to the North in a New York minute
39 now and remember hearing this song as a kid and always loved the beat, vocals and everything else, including the message. It'd be nice to here it more often...so glad we can access these songs now, so easily.

Early 90's. Played Arrested Development on cassette then.
No internet, no cell phone, no streaming service.
Timeless classic 👌
We used to have old Mr Wendal😊 now we have the talking dead 🧟♂️ 😂😂
This song came out during my white Minnesotan suburban junior high years. It helped open my eyes to music that was more than just Top 40. Y'all are great for this one!
Always respect your elderly ❤
"Be strong, serve God only. Know that if you do, beautiful Heaven awaits" -- remembering those lines from years ago brought me here today... peace.
Be strong, serve God only, know that if you do beautiful heavens awaits.
Amen !!!
I'm hoping that your are right my brother 💯
I'll be alright long as I got Jesus Christ he never left me alone thank you Jesus amen 🙏❤
Totally brings me back to early 90’s😊
When music was music.💯✌️
I miss music like this with stories about reality and real life situations not about money greed and look at me.. music with deepness and heart.
Good ole days when music was great
Make music great again!
I can't believe I still remember all the words! This song and album was so good!!
Absolute classic album!
Simply Powerful!❤
It’s a bummer music nowadays is so empty!!
I know! No meaning or substance.
Another classic 👌🏾 🙌🏾 😎
Beautiful beautiful beautiful song. Still one of my favorites in 2023
My Dear 90's!! This brings back so many memories.
This song was a big hit even in Nigeria.
I really wish i could just go back to experience how i felt back then growing up.
Always look after Mr Wendal
Underrated group
I’ve loved this song for almost 30 years! Peace y’all!!
This band is phanomenol with many legendary groups never grows old.
This album still sounds amazing all these years later. Yes the lyrics are great but maaaan, the productions is seriously underrated on this album, some classic beats!
Just discovered this song this year. Love it already ❤
Remember when this come out absolutely love it still 🎧🎶
Godd stuff never disappear
Yep, now more than ever. Excellent!!!✌️
Used to ride around with this blasting 🎉❤ on the speakers
I used to love listening to these guys back in the day.
This old school tune came up on my YT music suggestion glad it did, it's 🔥🔥🔥 Nostalgia 🥰

Heard this gem analyzed on BBC's "Pop Words", brings so many memories! Great to have this vid in such amazing quality.
Stay Blessed, Come back with another real one Always, Stay Blessed One.....
Way back ! Groovyyy
We use to git it in...jammin 😊
AD's funky super positive intellectual musical vibes back in the day. That is missed! Nice upload.
I deal with homeless individuals every day in my line of work. How this song dwells in the forefront of my mind
So you see a homeless guy at work and in your mind you say.. go head Mr Wendal!
This album is one of the most influential art works of the end of the xx century.
Early 90s made me who I am today
Real Heavy Hearing This Song After Years🔥❤
2023 still listening. Still Relevant.
🤜🤛❤
Brings back memories. Must have listened to this too much, ended up becoming Mr. Wendell
Who's here in 2025?!?! ❤
