To all the Jenny's of the world: I'm so fucking sorry you went through this. My mother was a victim of this as well, and it kills me to see the way it affects her. Breaks my fucking heart. But please don't give up, to everyone. There's so much more to life than the pain, and it takes a while to learn that, but it eventually will all settle at the bottom.
Yh school taught me fuck all if imma be honest they don’t teach you about life just some words and fucking numbers like they don’t tell you how to handle suicide or stuff like actually important in life not to work in a fucking office or something
Bro. You made me cry RA. I was 19 when I found my brother dead from heroin overdose. I performed CPR just hoping I could get him back. It didnt happen. I became so fucked up snorting xanax thinking that would fix my problem. It didnt. It wasn't until my first daughter that I became alive again. Between this song and First Born. You have made me feel so alive. One Love RA
I'm sorry for your loss. I've lost so many friends to heroin/fentanyl I've honestly lost count. I live in the Hudson valley in NY - it's right above the city and all these counties have enormous amounts of overdoses and especially in the past 6 years because of carfentanil and fentanyl. That shit makes heroin look like a tylenol with codeine. Idk if you use or not but either way please try not to because it is a battle almost impossible to win. I mean shit, I'm on methadone bc of it and that's the only thing that helped me get off street drugs. Sorry for the long comment - this video hit a chord on my heart and I saw you lost a friend and just wanted to relate I guess. God bless
I hear you buried way to many friends and around this time last year buried my mom from alchohol she had some problems but instead of getting help for them she drank and ended up drinking herself to death , worst day of my life and I've been through a lot , buried 3 family members in the past year and they all came within 9 months of each other. Songs like this hit home and it's why I respect artists like ra for giving us music we can actually feel instead of all the bullshit that gets all the attention because they have so much money backing them.
Idk how this dude can disgust me, anger me, make me laugh, and give me songs that make me cry every time. Peace, R.A., keep up the awesome work. First Born and The After Life are incredible, beautiful songs.
3aboodation To see that just made me realize what I’ve put my mom thru more than once and lots of other times she doesn’t know anything about. Damn now I’m 😢😥
@@davidhalvarson7109 I put my mom thru alot too...selling drugs out her house...got her house raided...fights, jail, weapons, drugs ect ect...all we can do is try to make up for it in tha future. Tha last time I sold drugs I gave her tha $$$ for mortgage on her house...then got locked up. I never let my mom visit me behind bars I didn't want her to see her son caged. I only pray I can make it up to her n not go back but reality is that statistics are not on my side. Keep ya head up n one love
I've been through so much this made me realize how much my mom suffered watching me use and go to prison the years I put her through hell to only go on my own and become distant from her..she did a lot for me ..today she sleeps better knowing I'm not living that life anymore...I'm married and mom calls me up to check up on me still to this day...and I barried a son so mom thought i would go back to the drugs but I didn't ...God bless us all.

I have yet to succeed viewing this video and not cry. Found my best friend dead from an overdose, I had already fallen asleep three meters away. It could have been me, six years ago. Drugfree for five years now. I miss you mate!
Just listened to this and this is exactly why hes one of the goats multisyllable rhymes with a storytelling level of nas or slick rick you literally get tranced into the story good stuff r.a plus its a true story r.a said it in the live chat.
when people say they hate rapand i show them the 2 best rappers of all time ra the rugged man and blabbermouf and they love it every time. big up and love to all creatures. hip hop made me human befor i was hollow.
I got ra's lyrics tatted right on my forearm and im never gonna regret it "many battles are loseable, losing isn't unusual, life is brutal but beautiful births allude to a funeral"
R.A you are incredible human being. You are so strong with everything you been through. God bless you. Saddened me that you're nephew was born a day after me and today he should be 30 like me. This here makes me appreciate life even more!
Shout out to Classified with the production! Another dope gem from RA. Such a bonus that it was made with the Canadian national treasure that is Classified
Damn R.A. you got me all in my feelings. I'm an x addict and I needed to hear this today. Just found out my father in law died this morning. RIP dad, missing you already my man.
First time I played this song...I felt something warm running down my cheeks...and when I looked in the mirror...that's when I realized I was crying...this song is touching.
This album is a revelation and reminds me of the past. I love it. Speaks the truth best greetings from Germany and much love and thanks for this. Keep going on!
Because RA doesnt have to pander to kids(or "adults") that cant handle hearing a "bad word" or understanding that the world isnt perfect. If you found this to listen, you probably already know these things.
This is the most powerful song and video I’ve ever seen. I cry every time I listen and this video puts it over the top. You are an amazing artist and person. Thank you for everything you have contributed to hip hop music, you are a true legend.
Read this about Ruck today, an old post but still.. Price stood for authenticity in rap, he articulated the conscience of the music. He was more alpha than Drake or Meek could ever wish to be, and as his friend Just Blaze told NPR, he was also a geek who loved comic books and the simple things in life. He was capable of containing multitudes because he was real. But realness often doesn’t sell, unless it’s packaged a certain way. “If your fav underground artist is still alive, tell them that now,” she implored. “Seeing all these tributes to Sean P No way he knew how much he was loved.” Luv ya RA
got me crying immediately. it's a rough world out there RA and EVERY time i've gone to one of your shows you show us how much you want to be a part of the change. thanks for creating music that uplifts and inspires change and emotional reaction. i'll never forget you doing halo in the crowd shortly after my dad passed, it meant the world
This so awesome especially the final verse I dealt with Heroin addiction for a years and lost both of my brothers not to addiction tho so that last line about mothers burying their children hit home hard especially! Watchin my mom go through losing her two oldest children was the worst and then to have to watch her youngest (me) go thru addictions to meth and then heroin! Great track! RA it made me really appreciate where I am now and how happy I’ve made my mom by turning my life around and giving her a grandson!
I Love you, brother!... Thanks for showing us how to face pain, loss, love where least expected.. Hope you and yours are well.. i lost my 1st born when i was 16...she was 7 weeks... my wife an i lost her youngest 5 years ago.. 40 years apart.... sht fkn hurts
Man.. I felt this joint R.A. and resonate heavily with the Heroine part. I’m glad that I made it through that part of my life and am still here even tho I shouldn’t be. I never understood or took a second to think how my moms or girl or sister felt when they wondered if that was the last time they’d say “bye” to me or “see you next week”. Getting calls that I’d OD’d and was in the Hospital was probably worrisome, but would’ve been much worse if it was a call to say I was gone. Thanks for this one R.A.!
RAnny Smith thanks brother! I’m not fully past it yet tho, next step is getting off the Suboxone. But I been off the down now for 5yrs, quit blazing too. Say what you want about ODP (Opioid Dependency Programs) if it weren’t for Suboxone or Methadone (never went on Methadone, and never wanted to) I probably would still be using and going in and outta detox and rehab, or worse, Dead. They saved my life, and many others who use the program how it’s intended and aren’t just using it to keep them from getting dopesick or selling their scripts. People who never been through opiate withdrawal and the dopesickness from not having it will never understand why they grip you so hard and is extremely hard to “just stop”.
Damn, that was deep. Definitely not expected, but necessary. In these times of mumble rap and b.s., I like to see some truth in hip hop, positive or not. Hip hop was originally about telling stories about what's going on in the world. I think RA definitely did that on this one.
How could any one give this song a thumbs down? Man this absolutely incredible! Literally One of the best songs I’ve ever heard, and I’m blown away that rugged man jus keeps progressing like this. Bravo brotha
It’s honestly sad when your show your friends R.A. and they don’t like him. So many of my friends that “love” hip hop can’t respect a rapper that actually has a story to tell rather than talk about “pussy money and weed” every single song. R.A. is the truth and more people should give his music a chance. ALSO, R.A. if you see this, please don’t make us wait 7 years for a new album again ❤️
Remember theirs a difference between a rapper and an emcee. Now a days anybody and their grandmother can put out a single song and be consider a rapper. RA is not only a true emcee and lyricist but one of the best.

I'm a big timcast fan. But I was a RA the Rugged Man fan and I still am. When you grow up different than someone else things look different. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. And everyone who's talking shit after the interview is just talking shit. Hater maybe. I don't know. Different point of views is what makes this fucking America.
I had to hold backs tears while listening to this. That heroin bit gave me chills bc I've struggled with addiction the vast majority of my life. This song is so powerful.
This is why I love hiphop. Next to all the stuff about guns, cars, women, money, you also have the real shit, the real life subjects. This is the kind of stuff that makes you think. And the clip is some goosebumps shit for me, I can't deny that.
Bro, I played this for my 61 year old dad, he cried right beside me. From front to back, this album hit every emotion, not one skip. He went and told all his coworkers about RA. How does such a classic album come out in 2020?! Thank you RA for breathing life into this hip hop shit always.
This is an absolutely heart touching song I'm glad to see the real in a day and age where to many are fake, never stop being you R.A. people need songs like this🙏💯🙏
Legendary Loser is one of my favourite tracks ever. I have just waited so long for an RA Cd and when that dropped I was so happy, that song just puts me in a great mood and I can't wait to hear what more ra has in store for us
This is what real hip hop is right here. RA the Rugged is one of my top 3 emcee's of all time. True lyrical skill that can paint a vivid picture in your mind. I hate to see no talent people like Bad Bhabie get cash thrown at them for corny ass ratchet ryhmes while my man is over here dropping ill verses everytime he touches a mic. Real hip hop heads know whats up. Golden Era baby.
R.A., you're such a wonderful story teller. I know you make a lot of scumbag tracks too, and I love them, but the thought and passion you put into some of these songs is overwhelming. I can't listen to Daddy's Halo without tearing up every single time. You're brilliant, bro.
one of the greatest rappers of all time
Possibly the greatest
Biggie said he was the best in an interview with XXL magazine.

It is our responsibility to make this guy as big as Tom Macdonald. He's Incredible

It’s crazy how we fell in love with RA because he’s gritty and gross but every once in a while he drops something that’ll make you cry.
He is a genius. In what he does he belongs to the top 1%. Also watch his interviews. RA is intelligent af.
I can't fathom the pain of a mother watching her child wrestle w addiction.
Damn, this was pretty deep and actually hit me a bit
Yeah me too, the 2nd and 3rd verse made some weird water come out of my eye.
A bit? I'm crying right here...

RAs like fine wine, gets better with age.
R.A. is so under rated. He's definitely a top tier rapper
I'm a big timcast fan. But I was a RA the Rugged Man fan and I still am. When you grow up different than someone else things look different. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. And everyone who's talking shit after the interview is just talking shit. Hater maybe. I don't know. Different point of views is what makes this fucking America.
It’s a damn shame he was being a racist dick in that show. His music seems dope though
I love RA but he did make a damn fool of himself. That being said you are absolutely right with that last line.
From Smithhaven Mall Hoodlum to Wondering hero, R.A. is the Legendary.
Truth. I used to hang out with RA at Smithhaven mall when I was a teenager. He was and is a good friend of mine.
I had to hold backs tears while listening to this. That heroin bit gave me chills bc I've struggled with addiction the vast majority of my life.
This song is so powerful.
No fiction bars! All integrity, love this!
I hate that the music industry kept him out of the spotlight, but now I'm buying multiple albums to support him, Love you R.A., :)
How can anyone dislike this song it’s an emotional track that hits the soul and should be appropriated for being real
This is why I love hiphop. Next to all the stuff about guns, cars, women, money, you also have the real shit, the real life subjects. This is the kind of stuff that makes you think. And the clip is some goosebumps shit for me, I can't deny that.
i guess i wasnt really ready for this. what a beautiful heartfelt track, RA is so damn versatile.
Respect for the Capital Steez pic
Holy ish, this is a touching song. Why is this not being played EVERYWHERE...
Bro, I played this for my 61 year old dad, he cried right beside me. From front to back, this album hit every emotion, not one skip. He went and told all his coworkers about RA. How does such a classic album come out in 2020?! Thank you RA for breathing life into this hip hop shit always.
R A is the most well kept secret treasure of Hip Hop not rap rap is something we do Hip Hop is what we live
This is an absolutely heart touching song I'm glad to see the real in a day and age where to many are fake, never stop being you R.A. people need songs like this🙏💯🙏
If you read this Comment, have a beautiful life!
U 2 man!!
Likewise!
Love!
You're wonderfull and I wish you all the best!
Best wishes to everyone. Life can be a bastard....reach out to the world and give your love. Peace.
Just saw this today, I lost a son 21 years ago. My life and family have never been the same. I wonder every day. Your (he)art is beautiful. 💗
Would love to fly you to Cali and take you around my peeps. Nothing but love and respect for you RA
R.A is one of the GOAT's
Nathan B fuck yeah
Legendary Loser is one of my favourite tracks ever. I have just waited so long for an RA Cd and when that dropped I was so happy, that song just puts me in a great mood and I can't wait to hear what more ra has in store for us
Sad song to wake up to :(
I felt that in my chest
Me too ... i fought tears... i held em back tho
Yo i been telling ppl about ra he is so deep on so many levels he is the best rapper alive yeah i said it
Beautiful song , made me tear up tbh
what a masterpiece
This is what real hip hop is right here. RA the Rugged is one of my top 3 emcee's of all time. True lyrical skill that can paint a vivid picture in your mind. I hate to see no talent people like Bad Bhabie get cash thrown at them for corny ass ratchet ryhmes while my man is over here dropping ill verses everytime he touches a mic. Real hip hop heads know whats up. Golden Era baby.
Parents burying their children... aight this hit differently
Seriously dude that part got me
My man is like a fine wine.....just gets better with time. Dude has been mad underrated for way tooooooooo long
Songs and videos like this need to be played in school assemblys so the children can see and feel the pain and heartache of others and victims
Biggie said he was the best , he wasn’t messing around.
Best at what?
@@Aenigmakil what did biggie do?
Biggie said that the only rapper that can out-rap him was RA, or something along those lines, I forgot
@@Aenigmakil ignoring trolls
@@kingsaintides7227 he is right, ra was doing joints with big before you were even born kiddo
I shouldn't even be here but I'm glad I am. This one hurt to listen to excellent work my man
R.A., you're such a wonderful story teller. I know you make a lot of scumbag tracks too, and I love them, but the thought and passion you put into some of these songs is overwhelming. I can't listen to Daddy's Halo without tearing up every single time. You're brilliant, bro.
Man this guy is top notch!! And people don't even know it... Top lyricists of our generation.
One of my favourite songs, RA the goat as usual and that other guy is a really good singer
Beautiful powerful song he can blow
