Yes but their Hollywood managers had a different agenda! They wanted to inject the Ghetto into their culture and they did it by pumping more money into that direction! They wanted the Blacks in US to not succedd! We all know who these shapeshifters are!!! They are the new Nazis!
I hung out with them when they came to Cleveland and they wanted to go to my neighborhood bar and we went and when they’re song came on they danced like they were in concert and after that we all went to eat at Denny’s They were very normal people… there was some division in the group… The group wanted to be free to hang out But one of them stayed at the hotel didn’t like them just coming and going as they pleased
I truly wish you well and hope your current circumstances are temporary. Hold fast to yourself and who you are inside. You are not your circumstances. Difficulty and discomfort reveal the truth of who we are and what we need. Best wishes.
I pray that you will find a home soon. I was also homeless for a while................. Thankfully God has brought me through and I know he'll do the same for YOU . 🤲🏾
This song is even more relevant today, it's not the kind of song you want real; yet here we are. All we can do is keep spreading this message in hopes one day society listens.
The way the words he's saying actually ring true even more today makes me so appreciate having music like this as a child. I knew what he meant even when i was younger, and carry it in my head and my heart till this day. Beautiful song for the sad state of our society. Yet a glimpse into the beauty humanity can convey, even in the darkest times.
IM A WHITE MAN SAYING THIS.... MIND YOU MAKE BLACK MUSIC GREAT AGAIN....... PLEASE.... AND LOWKEY THEY DO A GREAT SHOW EVEN TODAY.... ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS I GOT TO SEE....
I live on the street for TEN years 😢 my Brother's N Sisters back then vas something else Now I Got a Home 🏡 A Family Too God bless everyone ,I'm really sorry for Everything 😢 Love Y'all stay safe I see a better Day's
One of my favorite songs ever. Seriously the lyrics are absolute genius. Everyone has a story to tell, and your status as higher society doesn’t mean shit. Wisdom comes in all forms and is predominantly found in those closest to the ground getting their hands dirty. I love all the mr wendalls out there. You are the life blood of the human condition, the embodiment of the human spirit
They REALLY need to remaster and re-release the video for their masterpiece off the _Malcolm X_ Soundtrack, "Revolution"... I love "People Everyday", "Tennessee" and "Mr. Wendal", but those classics don't even reach the level of "Revolution", one of the most underrated, overlooked tracks of all time.
Remembering jamming to this song in the club. It has a strong message. Elderly people have knowledge & wisdom. Too bad most kids today don't have respect for the elderly nor think they should exist.
Thank you for saying that. I work with a lot of young people and you are so right. But there are some who really do and there are a couple at my job who likes sitting with us more than the ones their own age. A lot of things are catered to the young and I can understand that. But usr senior citizens really don't get much of anything. That's why a lot of us are still working 😔😔
I could just cry, I got the chance to see them perform live in Union City, Ga in 2019. It was a free concert outside by the Planet Fitness. I grew up loving this song 🎶, but at the age of 40..the message is SO POWERFUL especially if you ever experienced homeless like myself! Go head Mr.Wendal 👏🏾👏🏾❤️💃🏾#educational and informative!!!!!
This whole LP is so nostalgic. I actually still have the cassette in my vanity because it holds sentimental value. Anyhow, nah that I'm grown, these songs are kinda different. All I need is my bean bag and some Dunkaroos.
❤❤❤Psalm 7 King James Version 7 O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: 2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 3 O Lord my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) 5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. 6 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. 7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. 8 The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. 9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. 10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. 11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. 14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. 16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. 17 I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high
39 now and remember hearing this song as a kid and always loved the beat, vocals and everything else, including the message. It'd be nice to here it more often...so glad we can access these songs now, so easily.
Very underrated and were really just doing their thing and it worked always love their music. Thisbis a classic. Great story. The scream at the start 😂😂 brilliant lyrics
This album still sounds amazing all these years later. Yes the lyrics are great but maaaan, the productions is seriously underrated on this album, some classic beats!
I forgot about this precious song until tonight. Brings back such good memories! ❤❤❤❤ made my heart so happy to hear it, I’m sure I’ll be listening to this nonstop for a few days…..
Have a friend that went thru some stuff, amazing soul, his prolly homeless now. We used to love this song, i always look out for this song when i miss him. Really need to locate him.
This song is SO FUCKING GOOD! No one makes music like this anymore, probably because they don't care. These days it seems like music is a paycheck. You don't have anything to say. You wrote three lines and stole/bought a beat off a popular song, and now you have a number one jam on the radio/Spotify. And if you don't, your record company will pay the appropriate individuals to ensure that you do. Unrelated, RIP Baba Oje. More bands need someone like you.
Even though I'm not too much into these songs anymore, but nothing beat these songs from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Those songs had meanings to them. Even rap music had some meaning to them. No cursing, calling women bs or Hs.
My Dear 90's!! This brings back so many memories. This song was a big hit even in Nigeria. I really wish i could just go back to experience how i felt back then growing up.
Good to finally see this video. TH-cam is a blessing. I always loved the beat, bass and vocals. Early 90's. Played Arrested Development on cassette then. No internet, no cell phone, no streaming service.
Man said, be strong serve God only. I cant explain how over the years this song has made me extremely happy and simultaneously feel a pseudo sadness of deep thought.
This makes me remember my best friend on my estate he was black and had a beautiful family and we where basically always sneaking movies like terminator when we where 7 😂 no to mention my mum finding me listing to NWA and she actually said of it wasn’t for the swearing it was good 😂 RIP hesham my brother
Back when hip-hop had a message.
💯🔥
Yes but their Hollywood managers had a different agenda! They wanted to inject the Ghetto into their culture and they did it by pumping more money into that direction! They wanted the Blacks in US to not succedd! We all know who these shapeshifters are!!! They are the new Nazis!
FACTS!!!
You gotta look up @yellopain
still remembering my schooldays and superchannel (european mtv-like channel)
My mom used sing all their songs 😢I miss her beautiful voice May 26,2024
Cheers to your momma. ❤
Does anyone understand the absolute beauty and transparency of this group?!!!! Seriously!!!
I did ❤
I did too! I wish they would go back to this culture!!!
I hung out with them when they came to Cleveland and they wanted to go to my neighborhood bar and we went and when they’re song came on they danced like they were in concert and after that we all went to eat at Denny’s
They were very normal people… there was some division in the group…
The group wanted to be free to hang out
But one of them stayed at the hotel didn’t like them just coming and going as they pleased
Not everyone did, back in the day. Ahead of their time.
Anyone else still jamming to this song in 2024.
Yes
Just did
And still cryed
Im a sap
Still got the cd i got as a present way back in highschool
2023-08-30 13:06
Yes
Never listened to the lyrics as a kid in the 90s I just heard them. As a 40 year old homeless man living off God's grace they sure hit home now.
I truly wish you well and hope your current circumstances are temporary. Hold fast to yourself and who you are inside. You are not your circumstances. Difficulty and discomfort reveal the truth of who we are and what we need. Best wishes.
Same here, never read the actual lyrics today an hits hard
I pray that you will find a home soon. I was also homeless for a while.................
Thankfully God has brought me through and I know he'll do the same for YOU . 🤲🏾
Nice phone
🙏
This song is even more relevant today, it's not the kind of song you want real; yet here we are. All we can do is keep spreading this message in hopes one day society listens.
Preach brother hallelujah
No the only way to get freedom is fighting for it just read some history
No doubt Cuzz
We need this song more than ever
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
“Be strong serve God only know that if you do beautiful heaven awaits”
One of my favourite lyrics ever! 🙏
Shame that statement is not backed up by any evidence of either a god or a heaven.
This song, out of nowhere, has been running through my head the last few days. Its still great!
Arrested Development's debut album is a timeless classic
I'm so appreciative. For real.
dey doN't make em like thiS aNymoRe Cuzz
Yes indeed!!!!!!! Lol
It sure is I listened to it on repeat all month long.
@@DeathFoRliFe60nope I found it a library recently and remembered how much I loved it ❤ .
NO HALF NAKED WOMEN GUNS JUST TALENT
I can still sense the immense self-righteous pride you felt immediately after hitting 'send' on that.
@@eclectica1 Yea but they got a point tho...
Conscious music is the term..
Their in Memphis Tennessee to morrow and God's will I will be in the house
Well-said. Mr. PS!
this was the last decade of good music and humanity.
Totally agree
🦁 How much does this generation needs to hear this message today 😊❤🥂
You are soooooo right!
"Mr. Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways
But we don't hear him talk
Is it his fault when we've gone too far..."
They cant understand thr concept of the songs point if its not mumbled and inlcude brraaaaat brrrraaaat braaaat at the end lol
Everything was so original back then
I know, right! Music had meaning back then, unlike the crap of today.
@@josephclegg3562You know for a fact that no current music has any meaning? Seems like a broad and misguided comment.
💯💯
@@liz6445 Are you ok?
@@AndyTerra Reading comprehension isn't your thing huh?
The way the words he's saying actually ring true even more today makes me so appreciate having music like this as a child. I knew what he meant even when i was younger, and carry it in my head and my heart till this day. Beautiful song for the sad state of our society.

WHERE IS MY TIME MACHINE???? God I miss these days!!
Yes!
You're both using the time machine. This song brought you back in time , in your head.
Called a memory
'90s hip-hop at its finest
90's wouldn't have been the same.
Thank you Father in Heaven ❤
🙌🙌🙏✝️
IM A WHITE MAN SAYING THIS.... MIND YOU
MAKE BLACK MUSIC GREAT AGAIN.......
PLEASE....
AND LOWKEY THEY DO A GREAT SHOW EVEN TODAY....
ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS I GOT TO SEE....
This is sooooo relevant now in 2024 with our homeless crisis!
I live on the street for TEN years 😢 my Brother's N Sisters back then vas something else Now I Got a Home 🏡 A Family Too God bless everyone ,I'm really sorry for Everything 😢 Love Y'all stay safe I see a better Day's
Be safe and keep loving life 😊

i was in outskirts of londona couple weeks ago, in the alley shops and the one bar had this playing. felt good
Well said you enlighten Individual 🎉
Well said, you enlightened Individual 🎉 Best observations I have heard in a Long Time 🎉😮😊
💯💯
Im glad i grew up with real original hip hop. I kinda feel bad for the kids today with their souless commercial rap music.
Glad they uploaded this classic. This brings back so many memories 😢. I was 5 years old when this originally dropped.
this is a really good song
I was 13 years old when this use to be play on B.E.T back in the day
They REALLY need to remaster and re-release the video for their masterpiece off the _Malcolm X_ Soundtrack, "Revolution"... I love "People Everyday", "Tennessee" and "Mr. Wendal", but those classics don't even reach the level of "Revolution", one of the most underrated, overlooked tracks of all time.
@@Jimmy1982Playlists It's Raining Revolution... It's Raining Revolution!
I was probably 15 or 16.
that chorus is legit iconic.
Praise Jesus 🎉 🙌🙏
Be strong, serve God only, know that if you do beautiful heavens awaits.
Amen !!!
Remembering jamming to this song in the club.
It has a strong message. Elderly people have knowledge & wisdom.
Too bad most kids today don't have respect for the elderly nor think they should exist.
Yessss
Some kids do respect their elders, even today. 🙏
Thank you for saying that. I work with a lot of young people and you are so right. But there are some who really do and there are a couple at my job who likes sitting with us more than the ones their own age. A lot of things are catered to the young and I can understand that. But usr senior citizens really don't get much of anything. That's why a lot of us are still working 😔😔
I remember waking up one morning in early 1993 during a cold winter in Queens NY to this song from my alarm clock. Loved it instantly.
Was it a good memory ?
Thanks for sharing
@felixm.1370 oh yeah 1993 in NYC was always good. My favorite year from the 90s.
I can picture that 😊
That 2nd verse was absolutely incredible.
A car driving past my window was playing this so I thought I’d come by and listen again after all these years of not hearing it. Thank you 🙏 ❤
It’s a bummer music nowadays is so empty!!
I know! No meaning or substance.
Who else went from this song right to Tennessee. Your welcome. Just out here re living my childhood. Closest thing to a time machine
Thank you, sir!
Here after watching a TH-camr reacting to Tenenessee
I came here after Tennessee
❤ after Tennessee & Everyday People, miss my cassette!!!
Nah I hate Tennessee. Go back to the North in a New York minute
All glory to God! ❤ thank you Jesus
A human in flesh but not by law. Jesus, I had to rewind that line again.
This album is one of the most influential art works of the end of the xx century.
Da Song Hits Different in This Space Age My Brothaz and Sistaz. Thank you Arreested Development 💯💪🏾🙏🏾
Real jam with lyrics for the everyday people...wise words..still one of my favourite "RapEducative"Songs . WORD UP!
I'm white and was homeless levels it as kid got it as adult! Timeless classic ❤
I could just cry, I got the chance to see them perform live in Union City, Ga in 2019. It was a free concert outside by the Planet Fitness. I grew up loving this song 🎶, but at the age of 40..the message is SO POWERFUL especially if you ever experienced homeless like myself! Go head Mr.Wendal 👏🏾👏🏾❤️💃🏾#educational and informative!!!!!
Always look after Mr Wendal
This whole LP is so nostalgic. I actually still have the cassette in my vanity because it holds sentimental value. Anyhow, nah that I'm grown, these songs are kinda different. All I need is my bean bag and some Dunkaroos.
As soon as you mentioned a tape I knew , you knew what you were talking about. We had it so good and I just bloody well complained about everything.
Here straight from Set Adrift On Memory Bliss
🫶🏾🇿🇼
Massive smile on my face listening to this timeless classic! Thanks for the upload x
Real Hip-HOP! This is not “rap.” Go ahead Mr. Wendal R.I.P.
I’ve loved this song for almost 30 years! Peace y’all!!
❤❤❤Psalm 7
King James Version
7 O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O Lord my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high
This should be a message to politicions all around the world
The synth is on point in this song. I can't think of any other mainstream tracks from the 90's that do it as well.
Underrated group
39 now and remember hearing this song as a kid and always loved the beat, vocals and everything else, including the message. It'd be nice to here it more often...so glad we can access these songs now, so easily.
I'm so glad this song was part of my childhood
Go head mr Wendell❤❤❤ thought provoking music
I still love this song & the entire album. I witness the words of this song daily. TN
As a 11 year old white girl. I Ioved this song.
I wish hip-hop like this would have got the big backers like gangsta rap but it is what it is and I’m still enjoying it
Humble beginnings n this is what this song means to me in year of 2024.
Very underrated and were really just doing their thing and it worked always love their music. Thisbis a classic. Great story. The scream at the start 😂😂 brilliant lyrics
REAL HIP HOP
Summer 2024
~Florida ❤️~
Speak the truth 👏 🙌 💯 😮 😊lonely people alert ❤😊😮😢
Excuse me ⁉️
Timeless classic 👌
Fell in love with this song when i was in 6th grade
Saw them a couple years ago in Detroit and the performance was tight! i was shock how good they were! I would pay to see them anytime anywhere
This was mixed so well. I loved this album and bought it when it came out.
I deal with homeless individuals every day in my line of work. How this song dwells in the forefront of my mind
So you see a homeless guy at work and in your mind you say.. go head Mr Wendal!
Nobody seems to love mr.wendel these days.
Damn the tides.
Good ole days when music was great
Make music great again!
This album still sounds amazing all these years later. Yes the lyrics are great but maaaan, the productions is seriously underrated on this album, some classic beats!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful song. Still one of my favorites in 2023
This song/video was one of the sources of my knowledge of life outside of my lily white suburban existence. Thank you for broadening my world
Totally brings me back to early 90’s😊
Real Heavy Hearing This Song After Years🔥❤
words cannot express how much i love this song
Mr. Wendal has freedom💙💙🙏🏾😎
Absolute classic album!
We used to have old Mr Wendal😊 now we have the talking dead 🧟♂️ 😂😂
I love Mr. wendall
I forgot about this precious song until tonight. Brings back such good memories! ❤❤❤❤ made my heart so happy to hear it, I’m sure I’ll be listening to this nonstop for a few days…..

Memories of high school..... Mr Wendel
Yes...Mr.Wendal...go head...Lawd! 😊😊😊
More than 30 years I still love it biggeeeest thx ever❤❤❤
Omg . Love when these old videos pop up
When songs had lyrics that made sense and inspiring.
This band is phanomenol with many legendary groups never grows old.
This song is SO FUCKING GOOD! No one makes music like this anymore, probably because they don't care. These days it seems like music is a paycheck. You don't have anything to say. You wrote three lines and stole/bought a beat off a popular song, and now you have a number one jam on the radio/Spotify. And if you don't, your record company will pay the appropriate individuals to ensure that you do.
Unrelated, RIP Baba Oje. More bands need someone like you.
So HEARTBREAKING!!!
Good to see this video remastered. One of the greatest tracks of all time.
Used to ride around with this blasting 🎉❤ on the speakers
Always respect your elderly ❤
I remember seeing them perform on an episode of “In Living Color” back in the 90s when I was little boy,man I really miss those days❗️
Still 2024 one of the greatest gems in the 90s era ..loved it here in the Philippines ..👍💪🤝🙏🏼💖😋💿🇵🇭
Back when MTV, BET, VH1 and The Box played a lot of music videos
Yes calling the box for videos
Heck yeah glad to see someone remembers the Box
I used to love listening to these guys back in the day.
Even though I'm not too much into these songs anymore, but nothing beat these songs from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Those songs had meanings to them. Even rap music had some meaning to them. No cursing, calling women bs or Hs.
Simply Powerful!❤
I love you, Mr Wendal
My Dear 90's!! This brings back so many memories.
This song was a big hit even in Nigeria.
I really wish i could just go back to experience how i felt back then growing up.
Good to finally see this video. TH-cam is a blessing. I always loved the beat, bass and vocals.
Early 90's. Played Arrested Development on cassette then.
No internet, no cell phone, no streaming service.
I's 18. When this song come out in 91. A true classic.
Man said, be strong serve God only. I cant explain how over the years this song has made me extremely happy and simultaneously feel a pseudo sadness of deep thought.
This makes me remember my best friend on my estate he was black and had a beautiful family and we where basically always sneaking movies like terminator when we where 7 😂 no to mention my mum finding me listing to NWA and she actually said of it wasn’t for the swearing it was good 😂
RIP hesham my brother
