    theres so much good shit i can say about this dude, but for someone who grew up watching him every single day and hearing him say 'keep it real' to me being an adult and now seeing how he's been through all this shit and has kept it real, completely open and transparent gives me soooo much more respect on top of the respect I already had for bro. him talking about his drugs addiction and really sad shit like suicide is no joke. I've been there an truly wish no one ever feels that way in life, wanna give him a hug for being a big part of my childhood and just bettering himself. Nothing on youtube, no sidemen, no tiktok groups, no NOTHING will ever be more pure and more funny then the OG FaZe house NY, bunch of nerds (mean that in a lighthearted way) who all had such unique personalities, nothing was ever on a script, videos werent about how they can top the previous one or how many fans from different places they can pull in, not about the most expensive clothes or just nothing thats out of the norm from what an average 18 year old would do with their homies it felt, like the random videos of him just going to get food, being annoying to apex, showing everyone in the house a cool cod clip. Just all those little random unscripted videos were the best. lmao they could have a video of sensei and banks punching holes in the walls for 6 minutes and it was a wayyyyy more funny/ intesting video to watch then any of their high budget clearly scripted over the top edited just too corporate feeling . One that always comes to mind to just show how pure and loveable they all are is the squad plays hide and seek, just so innocent man
    Im so glad hes doing good now and is uploading again and it being just content what HE wants not it catering to people. Hes always been the most loveable faze member since day 1.

    Rain is honestly the best. Love his vibes and how real he speaks. I'm 26 and been watching since New York house and he's never switched on any us die hard fans, and that's why I love him so much. He really appreciates the core values that he brought to Faze , from the very beginning and he never changed like most of the other members. Mad respect 🌧🌧🌧

      @Jason Park bro they all parted ways , the only one that cares about faze, meaning like the family core part of the brand , Is rain. Look at banks. He don't even talk about faze or gaming , he only cares about partying and shit. Idk , the faze I remember was a group of real homies, that were all there for eachother. It just seems like rain kept those values and all the other guys just left him after he started spiraling on drugs. It's a sin I could be wrong , but it's just what we as fans see on socials , so I could be wrong. But that's what I've noticed anyways.

    I was in FaZe in the “golden days” with Rainn in 2012. I can’t say we were very close, but his passion and love for FaZe always seemed genuine. I stay out of the conversation these days, but it’s evident that the authenticity of FaZe has lessened. What it means to be a part of FaZe mattered not only to the members, but I believe the community as well. No one cares who’s in FaZe these days and most of the time it’s just for attention. I still have tons of love and respect for FaZe, and Nordan seems to be one of the few that still honors what the brand was built on. Good luck to you brother.

    Rain really made me feel heard when he was battling depression. Because many people are depressed but to tell ppl to forget about it and it’s hard to, you literally can’t so I feel like those people aren’t really depressed but idk ppl are different and handle things differently. Him being at home and not ever wanting to go out and self medicating, then going to the hospital and telling the hospital how he was feeling and then just dismissing him really shows what I still am struggling with. this is the only episode i’ve seen of raw talk and i’m glad. ❤ god bless you Rain, you are so smart!

      You can not turn to anyone in the medical field (doctor, therapist) if you are genuinely depressed . You may benefit from being on an anti depressant but that wont help you get to the root of why you are feeling a certain way. Talking openly with someone close (or if you dont have that, sometimes i talk out loud to myself) personally, screen time never makes me feel better. Being in public, the sun, even around strangers brings me out of my head. Ive also accepted that i may not be able to be “happy” but i had extreme highs an lows for so long im content with anywhere in the middle.
      Light a candle as well, thats my latest thing i recommend to everyone. I dunno, just something about it is comforting.

    7 minutes in and before I hear Rain's answer on if he was "good" at video games... I just want to say that he was well ahead of his time. A pioneer in BO2 FFA sniping and trick shotting. Rain was literally a god amongst men at one point in the gaming community on TH-cam. Or specifically the Call of Duty sniping community. Glad to see him sharp and in good spirits. I appreciate the content gentlemen. And I can attest as well that he worked his ass off to get to where he got to in the sense of FaZe and notoriety. The competition was stiff back then. You would get into a lobby with FaZe guys or zzirGrizz and lose your fucking mind as if they were celebrities. What a time to be alive. :)
