#absoul #dobetter #tde #blackhippy - เพลง
This is his beating his suicidal thoughts & his rebirth due to his attempt a while back. He lost his girlfriend, Mac Miller & his best friend in December. He felt alone & guilt of him being here but now he realized his purpose. Hope he finds happiness.
Girlfriend and best friend? Wow... True survivor...
Omg that man went through alot
RIP ALORI JOH, RIP DOE BURGER🍔💸🙏🏿
@@divamaureen4871 yep
Pretty sure he lost his dog too, from what I saw on IG 😢
“I gotta do better, I gotta. Pick up the pieces and master the puzzle upon us. Look the man in the mirror in the eye and be honest.”
Let’s read that again, master the puzzle upon us. “UPON” but also “ A PAWN” in a puzzling game of Chess. Look the man in the mirror “IN THE EYE” but also “IN THE I” because he’s talking about looking at himself (the I) and eflecting on what he’s had to struggle though. “THE PUZZLE UPON US”, the US is him + the reflection of himself in the mirror.
Great writing in just 2 lines.
"Doing drugs is just a war with boredom but it's sure to get me" Mac Miller
Ab-soul showing love to his dawg by quoting this line of Faces arguably Mac's best project. R.I.P sorry for ur lose 😔
A lot of people not catching this line. Faces is incredible. My favorite Mac album/tape
Thank you man, the first thing i thought of when hearing that bar
He said “Faces is playing and it’s fucking with me” right before the Mac quote.
I thought of Mac as soon as he said that. I thought I was the only one
but he set that bar up perfectly, “faces playing and its fucking with me..”
The imagery comes from both his fiancé’ (RIP Alori Joh) and friend (RIP Capital Steez) both leaped to their death off of buildings. Not to mention his best friend in music (RIP Mac Miller) and best friend outside of music (RIP Doeburger) all passed away and it hit him hard. He might need to make a Book of Soul 2 cause he a good dude who really be going thru it.
Great reaction
You done snapped with this comment bruh🤝
@@thesbumsimango126 thank you 🙏🏾
word is Alori actually "fell" from a cell tower when she got stuck on her way to a show. not a suicide.
@@livingtomakeakilling8500 that is insight i have not heard before.
@youngchief31 read about it years ago but could just be a conspiracy theory. they was tryn'a connect her death to some sort of "sacrifice". said kdot blew shortly after her passing. some shit like that I'm not really privvy to.
"There's nothing you can do that I can't do better, matter of fact there's nothing I can do that I can't do better" was so powerful to me
Another great line:
"Depressed can't even get out of bed" - when you depressed it may be struggle just to get out of bed, but he says "Deep rest" instead of "Depressed", because not getting out of the bed is like being in "Deep rest".
he didn't invented that phrase. jim carrey was saying in on a podcast and he said he got it from some guru guy. deepak chopra maybe
@@morrisalanisette9067 No one said he invented it. He’s pointing it out.
Brilliant observation👍🏾
right? i thought that i was the only person that got it
Alori Joh (Ab-Soul' Girlfriend) Died in 2012. Mac (Close Friend) passed in 2018 & DoeBurger (His Best Friend) passed away last Year. I believe (I'm not fully certain) but I believe he attempted suicide after Mac's death.
"*Faces* (Mac Miller's entitled breakthrough Album) playing and it's fuccing with me! Doing drugs is a war with boredom but it's sure to get me." Is a Quoted lyric from Mac's song 'Funeral' from Faces. This Song is Him coping and trying to move forward in a Honest Way.
This Track actually made me tear up, this was really heavy
Oh I sobbed
Same bro I attempted suicide but lived now I'm here trying to figure out what's my purpose
@@Marquies_Terry your purpose is to be good and do good ...and everything else falls into place ...I know some people don't believe in religion but for me faith keeps me focused and grounded ...reading what a lot of prophets went through and how much they lost but still kept going is a inspiration
Me too tbh.... it felt good to go through it though. It's a healthy response.
You’re not alone, i teared up as well.
i don’t ever have anybody to talk music with and it’s great to just dive into music with you guys. thank you guys
Facts, that’s what makes these channels so dope
Bro if you wanna talk music hit me on what's app
@@PhilosophicalThumbs lol are u a bot?
Agreed
This has to be the most beautiful Hip/Hop / Rap songs I've heard this year. It evokes emotions both sadness and triumph. Super inspirational message.
I Agree. Check out my Ab Soul Review before the album drops on my page and let me know what you think bro 💯
No doubt, THIS RIGHT HERE, made me tear up. Especially, the part where the Angel/ancestors held em’ back.🥺🥹🥲
That Mac Miller line hit, Ab-Soul has been through it all
Yup I caught it, just got around to this reaction and that “doing drugs is just a war with boredom but it’s sure to get me” RIP Mac my fave artist all time!
@@jeffrauda6594 mine as well😢
“Doing drugs is just a war with boredom but they sure to get me” is a Mac Miller line (RIP) from his song “Funeral” off his “Faces” mixtape. Which is what the line before means “Faces playin’ and it’s fuckin with me”Love the reaction, and def hope you get to some more Soul soon. but while we on the topic, y’all have also slepttttt on Mac. I gotta see y’all get to something off Faces from him, or maybe “Perfect Circle/Godspeed” off Good AM.. love y’all content tho, been a fan for a minute.
the first single (moonshooter) had the kendrick lines and this has the mac lines. dude just misses his homies
Faces is one of the greatest mixtapes of all time
@@dylan351321 that’s a fact. In my top 5 fasho.
Ab-Soul don't ever get enough credit. Love that he got something new
One of the most underrated rappers in this generation
I’d recommend listening to 2 of his latest tracks Hollandaise and Moonshooter. Man is a legend forreal so happy he is dropping soon!
Top Dawg pinned a comment to the top of the video that said Soul tried to jump off a bridge during his absence. This is meant to be him defeating those moments and that time in his life
Wow.
Oh wow
This might be Ab-Souls best song ever and that's saying allot but this song speaks to everyone not just Soul or TDE core.. I love this Soul, he's finding that void that connects finally
This song hits deep for a fact. I Agree. Check out my Ab Soul Review before the album drops on my page and let me know what you think bro 💯
@@BrooklynCapo1 just subscribed! Ima check you out King! 🤞🏾
That tiny desk performance from ab soul was epic!!!
The jumping off of the building is also symbolic because that’s how his best friend/first love Alori Joh (our classmate) died in 2012
it was a radio tower, steez was a building but still close enough
You just had to add “our classmate “
@@hoekage-son165 why wouldn't he?
@@professorXcross because it doesn’t add any importance that they shared a classmate. They could’ve gave the information how they did and just ended at they died. Saying our classmate is like saying indirectly “I know ab-soul and his best friend/first love we went to school together) which equally wouldn’t have been important due to the fact for one..nobody cares that they were classmates and two them being classmates has nothing to do with his explanation of him jumping off a building being symbolic. He literally just wanted to let it be known they were in school together.
New Ab Soul album finna be a classic
FR. He’s 3 for 3 right now . Hollandaise, moonshooter, do better 🔥
"depressed(deep rest) can't even get out of bed" i know its a simple wordplay but his pen is elite because of suddle slick lines like this
Deep breaths as well
@@cynz.1476 Nah lol depressed doesn't make the "th" sound in deep breaths
A-Reece Godlike and Bad Guy😭🔥🔥🔥
This song brought me to tears on the first listen. I was in a very dark place when this song dropped. It's one of the few songs that bring out true emotions, pure therapeutic music❤
This is a classic song. Made me contemplate on life. Never got into Ab Soul before. This will make me listen to his earlier work. Great reaction too. 👍
You are definitely in for a spiritual ride.. I'd recommend "Book of Soul" to be amongst the 1st listens ,to get a summary of his life story. Adversity at its highest.
Have fun on your trip 😉☮️
Absoul best one in TDE
Check out “Turn me up some” one of my favs by Ab & Kdot
Go listen to control system, long term mentality, and long term right now.
This song was beautifully written
Soulo is a genius
I'm not gonna lie this song really touched me and woke me up because even in the dark hole that I'm in it feels like there can be a glimmer of light and I just kinda makes me cry thinking I need to rise from defeat. Very touching . Love your reactions
We’re in the same spot brother, let’s rise up ❤
❤
“I do all this shit, just to say get off my dick” is a callback from his song Mixed Emotions
When he was falling through the void, he's inside of a cornea the "branches" are veins within the eye. 👁
If only Ab-Soul knew how much I needed this song….
Man, a little bit ago I was listening to Ab Soul thinking that it's a shame he never became nowhere near as big as Kendrick. Another person I was listening to thinking the same thing was Jay Electronica. I remember way back I used to always be on top of what they did bc they were some of my favorite rappers. Then they both suddenly faded away.
Im not crying, you are
Beautiful beautiful song
I really hope this blows up. How can you not love this. True art, nothing but expression of self.
As a man I can’t tell you how much I’ve cried listening to this song and I can’t tell y’all how much this 1 track means to me man 🥺
Always get goosebumps listening to new Ab-Soul
Inspiring to see the growth. Evolution of the man ab soul…. As is life’s true purpose… evolution of the soul/consciousness
Deep breaths, depressed, deep rest.... triple entendre
I loved hearing this song so much. Soul was arguably my favorite rapper back in 2012 and it always hurt that he kinda "fell off". But this shit is beautiful and is some of his best material to date.
Brooo I feel this havnt heard a song by ab in a whilleee and to comeback and here this was so refreshing
His first album is hall of fame, his second was a let down. Based off what I’ve heard from him lately, his 3rd is going to be magnificent
@@LesbianFiretruck he’s put out 4 albums so far. Ranking them I’d put it
Control System- 1
DWTW - 2
Long term Mentality - 3
These Days… - 4
The top two are excellent. The third ranked is good, not great. The last ranked is ok, not a complete disappointment but underwhelming considering what he’s capable of.
Hopefully, the new album is as great as this song is indicating. 🙏🏾
He also touches on a couple of his older songs in this track. I could he wrong but I believe the " I do all this shit just to say get off my dick" is from the track mixed emotions that is on one of his earlier albums control system
I kinda F's with how rare soulo has been throughout these years, he makes TIMELESS MUSIC AND THATS A FACT!
This Is One Of Those Paramount Songs For An Artist. The Emotions Are Words Here Not The Other Way Around.
What a timeless track. Man just listened to book of soul shit had me holding back tears
Thank you so much for helping bring more light to Soul! More Soul Reactions!
you guys are literally the best reaction youtubers on the planet. you truly aprecciate what you are reacting to and are in tune with the lyricism that hip hop relies on, other than doing reactions out of buzz.
You make me digest the music in different ways with your toughts and give relevant comments on it. Also your enthusiasm on dissecting lyrics is just so pure and dope. KEEP IT COMING. IM A FANBOY NOW. This is the culture at its best.
Soul brother number 2🥵 always be a legend in my eyes. Yall should check out the boy A Reece he just dropped an insane project, totally spazzed on the last song GODLIKE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m so glad Soulo is here to give us this. All the people he lost would be hard on anyone. Just like Ski and Trippie they’ve both lost so many people they love the last 5 years. We really need to support all these artists and show love!! Thank y’all for doing that
This song and Joey bada$$ survivors guilt are the only two songs that made me cry.
What a classic rapper. Great song.
Yaaaaaaassssss bring back the good hip-hop!!!
Crying to this, means you need healing ❤️🩹 😞
Theres a lot of details to the story behind the song and to put it lightly, it completely changes the weight of everything you see and hear in the video. To see someone be so open and vulnerable and hopefully encourage others, is exactly what rap was made for. This was always what it was meant to do at its roots. God bless Ab-Soul
He understands himself better all praise. His writing stance is happy with himself also. Looking forward too the debut again lol returned again
Can’t wait for his second first album
This track is so deep….😢 lord knows how it relates to me. I love AbSoul’s rawness
This track is on book of soul tier
Shed a tear
bro this song is one of my favorite from AB SOUL since tree of life
I love the ending of him being "reborn" back to the snipet of him as a baby with his mom showing the rebirth
I can’t stop crying when I listen tbh I’m going through shit but this song definitely special..
I've played this song so much...
This couldn't have been done any better. I'm hearing the track for the 1st time on this video and it got me tearing up like a lil bitch💀 That's a song I can proudly stamp on my soul and where on my sleeve. I'm at the same point in my life, I needed to hear it man xx I'ma be bumping this every morning fo sho.
This song is amazing! Gym playlist all day every day since it came out
"beautiful" my words exactly. What an amazing talent. He tells my struggle through his struggle. Thank for taking the time to honor this good man here-makes you men for doing it.
Ab-Soulo's the GREATEST TO EVER DO IT idc
A segment of this review is currently playing on one of Ab-Soul's Instagram Stories right now
I saw that too
The way you guys break shit down respect. Crazy how I can relate. Black lip basted. Love from Namibia.
Soulo soul brother number 2, I hope he has found peace with himself.
AS A HUGE FAN OF SOUL WE STILL HAVE TO LET HIM KNOW HE'S NOT ALONE BEFORE IT'S TO LATE
Kendrick needs to put his brothers on a bigger platform, Ab soul deserves to be on top. He simply is better
He has
He tried like 10 years ago bro… no offense but they just stopped dropping stuff for too long… they probably had good reasons why but it’s not Kendricks job to carry them
If Soul wanted that Kendrick would give him his light
@@llxFuRiiOuSxll 10 years ago? You forgetting the album run TDE had from like 2013-2018? Everyone was bringing it then (it just clicked that 2013 is almost 10 years ago, oof)
@@johnathanpotter924 hahaha
If you ever want to go back in time, please do a reaction to Ab-Soul - Mayday from his LongTerm 2 mixtape. It's probably his most underrated and best track; mostly talking about his insecurities in not blowing up when Jay Rock & Kendrick were
I think if y’all got the mac miller and ALori Joh part of ab soul’s story as well as the imagery in the video about basically falling to your death (which I think symbolises suicide by Alori Joh off falling a building ) this songs will go up another 200% in your heads. In terms of interpretation and meaning.
“I do all this shit just to say get off my dick” is a line from ab-soul’s Mixed emotions ( which he tied in to the lyrics of this songs as well )
A beautiful, introspective, profound piece of art. Ab Soul may be talking about himself, but don't we all feel this way at one time or another? The perfect beat (song really) to complement what he was saying. Incredible! TY for the reaction- on point as always.
‘ Jst waiting on the stone to hit me …. Relationship on the rocks ‘ 🔥🔥🔥
Ab-Soul is back
I really like this newly discovered channel.
"I do all this shit just to say get off my dick" and the next line is a reference to a song of his called "Mixed Emotions" off of his album Control System. The song is about doing drugs, lean specifically.
Basically he recently tried to jump of the bridge. Man has been through alot. Lost he's first love, Music buddies (Mac & Dough)..
This man lost his high school sweetheart around 2012/2013, lost most of his friends to substance abuse,gun violence & suicide and he thought the dark cloud has passed he lost one of his closest friends Mac damn!!!. He got heavy on drugs and attempted to take his own life and he OD’d and survived. Seeing him coming out of all this and still deliver music cum’on let’s respect Soulo. Man been through it all and this is he’s 2nd,2nd chance at it.❤️❤️❤️
Ab dealing with a spiritual war and I believe The Man upstairs is opening his eyes.
Soulho is something else bro. So deep and inspirational!
2 songs that would compliment this reaction are Ab soul- me & ms.pain + ab soul- fame. When you put these 3 songs together it gives you a more full picture as to what he’s explaining.
Just seen soul live for the first time last night and I can’t explain how hard this song hit me especially after hearing him explain his suicide situation, my favorite rapper
“Faces playing and it’s fucking with me” refers to one of Mac Miller’s best projects “Faces” I definitely think you should listen if you haven’t, I recommend reacting to songs “Diablo” or “Rain”
what a beautiful Song by Ab
Soul Brother #2
omg , you guys did a Ab-soul reactions. just made my day
My goat soul
Ab Soul - Soul cry is incredible
Haven’t watched the channel in a while & this review popped up,…. CUH!!! Salute to y’all fellas!!!

y’all should peep the genius video of him explaining it👌
"Doing drugs for boredom" is a reference to MacMiller
Prolly the realest song I ever heard. I definitely shed tears. Thanks for the reaction. I love this song 💯
Ad soul fans knew it was about to get real when the display Pic with shades off ... then I watched the video saw the gf/Mac Miller references throughout the video ,had m in my feelings ...... haven't cry in a minute
Algorithm brought me to you guys reactions and honestly you guys have one of the best reactions videos I’ve ever seen! Dope. Love every bar breakdown and got good ears on bars/lyrics! Been watching since. Would love for you guys to listen to Lloyd Banks recent Funk flex freestyle!
So good , a truly gifted lyricist. The video was well done too. Just a great song!
The "I do all this shit just to say get off my dick" was a line in his song Mixed Emotions, notice how he says it right after
You guys always GOATED on breaking down lyrics
Can't wait for Ab soul album, he been sick with these singles 🐐🔥🔥🔥
I'm from Karson where ab soul from. He solid always been a good dude. He drop his music and tours and he dips off in the cut until it's time to drop again. Y'all should react to gang'nem he just dropped yesterday
deep rest / ( depressed ) can't even get out the bed, man the wordplay...
I grew up on ab-soul, feels good whenever he drops
