@@bobmax2775 Sometime around 13:00. I disagree with his take on that though. He says that vaping causes anxiety and depression. But in reality, people who suffer from these things tend to do them. So vaping isn't causing depression or anxiety. It's that people who are depressed or have anxiety problems tend to vape or smoke. I'm speaking of adults of course, not children.

I had to relearn how to walk and eat and speak. And I'm thankful that someone so important can be a witness to so much struggle and pain, and still be such a light for the world. So so thankful.

I met Ab-Soul when he came to Toronto many years ago. I'll never forget the energy he emitted, when we dapped each other I felt a supernatural feeling of peace and calm fall over me. He is a prime example that those who know the most are often the most broken. The truth seekers of the world always hold the pain of the world on their shoulders and often have absolutely no one to hold their pain or validate their knowledge. I hope soul continues his healing journey, clearly he's here for a purpose beyond himself.

I Had To Stop This Video Around The 26:00 Mark. Quick Story: I Always Been A Huge Ab-Soul Fan, Even Got All My Homies On His Music. Somewhere In August 2020 I Sat At The Golden Gate Bridge For About 6 Days. Found A Close Enough Park & Every Night I’ll Walk To Post 87. (Each Post Has A Number) I Kept Playing The Song “A Rebellion” By Ab-Soul. Control System Still My Favorite. The Last Day I Was On The Bridge I Was Ready To Leave Everything And Everyone. I Stood Up And Took A Deep Breath And As I Exhaled, I Was Violently Pulled Down By Someone Saving Me. Til This Day I Don’t Go Anywhere Near That Bridge. I Knew Of The Alori Joh Story Prior To Mine But I Didn’t Know Ab-Soul Tried To As Well. I’m Glad You Still Here With Us 🤞🏾❤

I don't know... if he sees a therapist because he felt unlike himself, and realized the nicotine was effing his head up bad... for a cerebral guy who ingested so many different and sometimes radical ideologies and perspectives, any real depression would have been had GLARING symptoms. When he survived his diagnosis as a kid .... and got the baddest girl in HS after being teased... and developed a brotherhood that hasn't faltered ... wrote through his grief after her passing... They was smoking weed like nobody's business but they were building better lives for themselves without selling their souls. I think he has to guard his temple from any poisons aimed to destroy his mind. But I really don't see the tell tale signs of a person denying their struggle with depression. These are only our opinions at the end of the day. We agree in our hope for the growth of his overall wellbeing.

It still plays a lingering role In who I am. But we should all remember that Malcolm X died young without the chance to just really GROW from the consciousness he had just awoke too. There’s a huge difference between being 25 with thoughts and 30. Any African American male can attest to that. Shit I’m 34 going on 35 and I feel different even now.

Soul, you've been my favorite artist for over 10 years. LTM 2 got me through some hard times, It inspired me to do more with my life and I have because of it. I'm 30 years young and just want to say thank you for your music. You and your music have meant alot to me . Can't wait to hear "Herbert" tomorrow.

I want to thanks Charlemagne and Herbert (AB-Soul) for opening up and sharing some of the obstacles he was facing. I’ve been a fan for over a decade now listening to his music and blessed to attend his show and experience live performances,I can relate to so much he touched on in this interview, although I still sense he has a lot more to let out hopefully in time he will heal I’m glad he is still seeking balance in life as so am I and a-lot of us in this life as we continue our spiritual journeys all praise the most high! let it out, live, and let live!

Great interview. Mental health is heavy on this 1. Deep introspective perspective. Genuine & powerful conversation. I learned a lot. I vape too... and.. I "think" I'm "fine" emotionally & mentally... but I really should unpack some things with a "stranger". It's just hard to find someone you can vibe effortlessly with... &... understands black men... I gotta do better & I will do better... Thank You Ab-Soul, Herb... (and all of the names I know you go by). I've been a deeply invested fan since long-term mentality 1... say wassup, Kendrick Lamar ep... The Love Religion (RIP Alori Joh) etc. Thank You CTG, you're the trailblazer for mental health.

I've always said this since I discovered Ab-Soul 10 years ago. He is a very humble, divine, and not knowing much about him at that time, I knew he was a beautiful person just based on his appearance and how he carried himself. That's now coming to light in all of these interviews

ab-soul has some of the best lyrics in the game. i think he just needs someone to force him to rap on dope beats. i think hes suffering from the nas disease. I think if he can get in the studio with a dope producer and have them executive produce the album from top to bottom and just let him focus on the rhymes, he would be unstoppable.

It makes sense why there's so much funding going into those shops being put up. They just closed down a cafe to put one up on my street. Ab is talking about real human things here in this sit down, beautiful and vulnerable. I'm glad he's here with us. To jump that.. and be here with us.. touched. Especially after how many people I've lost within the last two years. Let's love each other more.

It’s selfLESS to do that, especially since your first instinct was to do the opposite. Your journey isn’t over yet brother. “Leave stardust, for this after me”. You e got plenty more gems to leave the world! Thank you for another great album.

@TheBlkWlf Жыл бұрын

He doesn’t believe in the “devil”. & anyone who’s enlightened like Ab soul knows there is no such being as the “devil”. There is only polarity which means there is always two sides to everything. Left/Right, Up/Down, Here/There, Front/Back, Good/Evil. But at a higher understanding you see that they are just different poles of the one. Even in the Bible it says that God creates evil and Good, the Light & the Darkness (Isaiah 45:7-10) Eveything is all ONE (Spirit aka the force of existence known as Consciousness or awareness itself in todays vocabulary, but back then it was known as Spirit). Love is knowing everything is one therefore understanding the bigger picture, Fear is not knowing everything is one, therefore not understanding, and Evil is knowing everything is one but still being selfish. Anyone can be the “devil”. What he’s actually describing is the Ego, the character who doesn’t understand we are all God(Spirit), just different manifestations of Spirit aka existence. “Anything that IS (exists), IS (God). What do you think God meant when he first said his name? I AM.

@@j4ore333 let’s entertain your logic here, let’s say The Devil does exist then that means he is still God, because anything that has the force of existence is God… because God is the force of existence, and that force is within everything, even the devil.
