Some of y’all acting like you never heard of clickbait before lol this song is not better than the original but it’s good in it’s own right. A cover doesn’t have to capture the essence of the original; it’s supposed to be the artist who’s covering the song, take it and make it their own. Also, pretty sure some of y’all hate mgk either cuz the em thing or just don’t like him, so y’all just don’t like the song for that reason. This cover is very good, sonically.
No, I'll be honest, I'm not an MGK fan. It has nothing to do with the Em thing as I honestly don't care, but I prefer MGK on stuff with Yelawolf like the song Rowdy. But, this is a cover and what he wants to do cool. It's just not my vibe.
@@Subs1338 That's an interesting question and a very good one. And I'm split about it as say I liked R Kelly's music, but don't care for him as a person and it made me view him differently. Therefore, him as a person has overshadowed how I feel about his music. Is a person their art and their art the person?
I like that you took/explained the story of the song and related it to MGK, giving insight into why he may have chosen to cover it and how it suits him. Other people are just saying why did he cover this and what did Frank do to deserve it. Shallow minded.
I love the cover. I think it honors the original (which he loves) and still turns it into something that fits him perfectly. So far the overwhelming feedback has been positive. I get that he's not for everybody, though, but the people that deny the talent are the ones that kill me. Always enjoy your reactions! Thanks!!
@@kaylluhb You're entitled to your opinion. Most people seem to disagree based on the reactions and the fact that the last album was on the charts for over a year, is Platinum, and won multiple awards. You're not implying this is pop punk? I mean Travis Barker seems to think he's good and I'd venture he has more experience than you in the genre. But then again, not sure why we're so worried about genres anyway, and expressing our negative opinions when we don't like something. There's a lot of art I don't like but I don't go out of my way to go to pages that are featuring it so I can talk shit. You do you, though. Just remember, that negativity is in you, not in anybody else even though you're trying to put it there.
@@Angel_Yamma Then why are you here? Go listen to what you like. I'm sure your favorite artist cloud use the support. Art is subjective. It's entirely possible for you to love something I hate and vice versa. Not trying to change anyone's opinion - but don't see the need for being negative for no reason.
with the spam Megan and mgk situation with being talked alot about, people only see it one side but the real reason it gets spammed in articles and on timelines is because it brings in a lot of interaction to the site, like I saw multiple tweets about mgk and Megan fox get 100k+ likes, well I guess he does like to troll the internet a bit.
I was hoping someone would catch the other possible biblical reference. Not just the rib like Adam and Eve but he also says "the ‘caine ables me to function." Caine like cocaine obviously but also like Cain and Able, Adam and Eve's sons. I thought it was so sick and clever
I really love that you have totally done a whole 180 on your opinion on mgk..He is so talented and he always does so good at covering someone's song. I wanted you to react to his live performance on snl to lonely where he cries it's amazing performance. Or mtv awards performance. Where he. Adds a rap verse to papercut song .
To be fair it's the news, blogs and whatever shit posts people read that spam their relationship. They're not the ones doing it :p This cover is straight fire, reminds me of his Ocean Eyes cover.
Hey, That's a pretty big trunk on my Lincoln town car, ain't it? (Town car ain't it, ain't it) Big enough to take these broken hearts and put 'em in it, yeah Now I'm ridin' 'round on the boulevard, trunk bleedin' (Trunk bleedin', bleedin') And every time the cops pull me over, they don't ever see them They never see them And I've got this black suit on (suit on, suit on) Ridin' around like I'm ready for a funeral Five more miles 'til the road runs out I'm about to drive in the ocean I'ma try to swim from somethin' bigger than me Kick off my shoes And swim good, and swim good Take off this suit And swim good, and swim good I'm drowning in your holy water hold me under longer Hold this rib that I gave you, just don't pierce my under-armour Undercovers with the laying and sheets that are Devil-colored Gun through the teeth at your brain if you're thinkin' 'bout another, bang Same vintage leather jacket with secret pockets (yeah) Skeletons in my closet next to the sneaker options (yeah) Fashion killer, look inside you could see the coffins The 'caine ables me to function nice when my body's stoppin' I'm Scarface smokin' in this bath water My guitar case really just a cash holder (cash) Gun attached for the task force, ready for a car chase Nothing's too fast for it yeah, yeah I'm about to drive in the ocean (drive in the ocean) I'ma try to swim from somethin' bigger than me Kick off my shoes And swim Good (swim good), and swim Good (and swim good) Take off this suit And swim Good, and swim good
MGK a goated artist at this point. He’s proved himself everytime he been put down. Only middle aged salty men stans will say otherwise, but deep down they know! XX EST
Nice to see a positive take from someone who's also heard the original. A cheeky double that slipped past ya - "The Cain Abel's me to function nice when my body's stoppin" tying into the whole biblical theme and the earlier bars on skeletons and coffins. Love your content as always.
and holy water, and hold this rib referring to the rib of adam god made eve from and im p sure its "the cain abels me to function *nights" but i may be wrong
I'm not even shy to say I prefer MGKs version. Took a couple listens for me to even get into the original version. I don't dislike it, but MGK is just a vibe to me.
Love kells version better tbh . He’s amazing. I just saw him in Dec in Cleveland at his home show , he did a kick ass final show , even played an extra hour after they tried cutting power for him going over on time lol. We got out of there at 130 in the morning 🤣🖤🤘🏼
That thumbnail got me! I was like, "better than the original?" Is Ernest trippin'. Its not nearly as nuanced and as moving as the original. For me, its all right. Im glad you included the last part of the video. So basically, you took it as a cover from a Frank fan that took a more creative approach than to just sing the song like how Frank sung it. Meaning that its not really competing against the original and in that context, Im inclined to agree that its an interesting take with some highs and lows. Its not a bad cover and I would give it a 7 personally.
@@stephanystephens8500 I believe you. I'm just saying that this cover is not trying to be like a Hurt by Johnny Cash which is a cover but it also tries to stand on its own as a reinterpretation of the original.
Brooo!!!! Brooo!! It really really 🔥🙀🙀. He like Ez mil , his flow his beat so f***king 🔥🔥🔥, plz reaction on VANNDA , his song " Khmer blood , I see a lot UK and US reaction but really want to see your reaction 🔥🔥 🙀🙀
Imma be honest, as a fan from the beginning I'm upset I only found this cover tonight. They way you broke down the mean of the song in relation to Kell's life made me cry. The song has never been anything more then a fun melody to sing. But after you broke it down, got damn this song is heavy
ive never listened to the original song before, so i listened to it after mgk's version, and i didnt really like it tbh, its not my style of music. but i liked that mgk stripped it down

You can think they are annoying while understanding he’s a talented artist
Educated answer i like this
No one annoy noone so just enjoy the music guys.🎵

Ppl hating mgk so much for no reason
track goes crazy
Sheep following the rest of the sheep hating
Knew This was coming.
Frank top 5 artists of all time for me.

Me too! I was like oh that is fire how he connects the holy water/Adam & eve rib line/Caine and Able line. It's sick!
yes finally someone else noticed !

Or mtv awards performance. Where he. Adds a rap verse to papercut song .
he is going into album mode. Prepare yourselves 🌪🌪🌪
He’s already planned on releasing two this year
This Is soo good
#XX can’t wait for the album kells! been rocking with you since 2012XXL freshmen cypher
Check out his cover of Billie Eilish's Ocean Eyes.
I think he did already unless I'm mistaken
I prefer kells’ version tbh. Franks is way different but I like how kells’ has worked his magic on It
He said expect more of this. Because an album is coming very soon.
