    you're right, it does. the song started out as a joke during show rehearsals. Instead of doing the original "chasing the dragon" hook, I would kick this one to bug out. After a while it evolved into the song getting recorded and the rest is history -B

    I fucking love Ill Bill for this specific reason: He speaks about things he's ACTUALLY seen, actually experienced.
    He's putting this shit out there for everyone to hear, and it ain't no "she licked me like a lollipop"... It definitely took strength to write this and put it out there for his Uncle Howie and the rest of us to hear. ILL BILL WILL KILL!

    @thefbiman2116 Рік тому +4

    Rap, like any other genre, is meaningless noise without emotion. This has lots of it: betrayal, anger, sadness and deep worry

  • @dimethaltryptamine1
    @dimethaltryptamine1 2 роки тому +4

    I love all the Uncle Howie songs...everyone of them. I love hearing you & Uncle Harry & others talking about their experiences. Very raw song man, must've been hard to put that out. Especially hoping to get through to him with this song. Like the song say though it's something Howie needed to do on his own
    No one can take the journey for someone else.

    Steve taught me to play guitar and bass. He taught me metal. He was everything i wanted to be be when i was 15, and everything i regret looking up to as an actual adult. I still love Steve. But, god, i hope we can both do something. Anything. I know he can. He too genuinely intelligent not to.
