Another dope one, No one vibes like Sublime.

“Homocide, never doing no time.” Was Just-ice a NYC rapper back in the late 80s. “As long as I’m alive, I’m gonna live illegal” was Mobb Deep! “And when I get on, I’mma put on all my people.” Shook Ones part II. Great track. I always thought about it like, just me being alive, and living is illegal. I don’t have to do anything and they’ll find a way to say I’m breaking the law. Or it can mean, I’ll always break the law until I die. You also gotta remember this song was from the 90s. Most rap threw a “187 on a cop” line somewhere. But the feeling is real. Still relevant today. I watched the LA riots on TV along with Rodney King shit. I knew it was fucked up then. Shit going on is still fucked up. Anyway, great reaction as always. Johnny Butts is a good Sublime song. Also, All you need, for some faster music from Sublime.

Good to see a new generation showing some respect to a great band cut short. But... the LA riots were so massive in scale that it would have blown your mind. It really was total anarchy - and THAT is why this song was written.

Played the hell out of this song and the rest of the album on a west Pacific cruise when I was in the Navy back in 98. Listened to it everyday since our options were limited. I've never clicked on a video so fast.

All those cities at the end also had riots/uprisings after LA went off. Of course they were on a much smaller scale. I was 10 years old when it happened and didn't understand how significant it was at the time. It wasn't until I was listening to Sublime a few years later that it hit me and I was able to semi comprehend just how big of a deal the entirety of it was. Yes, Ferguson was huge and went on for a long time and started marches in other cities but Ferguson was small potatoes compared to what happened in April and May of 1992. Over 60 people were killed and (if I remember correctly) well over 10,000 arrests...in only 6 days! It was a powder keg and the fuse was lit. The gov't was sent a message and they received it loud and clear. That's when the militarization of the police force began. No longer would the gov't allow the citizens to overpower them and they have only gotten worse sense then. One day it will happen. There will be another LA Riots one day and we, the people, will need to stand together against our overlords. Next time will have many times more casualties and arrests but we can only take having our necks stepped on so many times.

Hey man, this is one of the most powerful songs ever. Made in the early 90’s yet it’s still happening today

I appreciate you recognizing the Native American injustice. I'm a native myself and sometimes it seems like everyone just glazes over what was done to our people, which breaks my heart. I'm saddened not for myself but for my brave ancestors who never let go of their ways and their integrity no matter what wrongs they were forced to endure. May the Great Spirit forgive us all, and accept us into the kingdom of the blue sky.

The cool thing with Sublime is you can hear a million different genres in their songs.

Thanks for the native shout out my young righteous soldier. Peace from FSST

And yes, he rode life dirty until the day he died.

Bro the “as long as I’m alive I’m gonna live illegal” is a quote from Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Part II it’s genius!

I always took "live illegal" as meaning "living off the grid/anarchy/finding solutions that the government doesn't acknowledge".

Dude I am so proud of you for knowing history.

Yup la riot I was 13 and in la at that time me and my family was stuck in la close to the fires and rioting scary, people were trading loot for food because we couldn't leave our motel. And every hour like 20 cop cars rushed by with 5 or 6 cops deep I'll never forget it

Good to hear this track again, thanks bro. For solid adds to the Sublime tip, think about "Garden Grove" and "Caress Me Down."

This is my favorite band and i love that you appreciate the music they made. Bradley Nowell was way beyond his time and is forever missed. His was the voice of the youth during turbulent times and his words were prophetic.

40oz to freedom, sublime

Great review bud! Loved it. Had this song stuck in my head all weekend!

That sample you heard was KRS One.....I believe they have a song called KRS One

Thumbsed up for knowing the relevance of this song so quickly!

Check out Sublime - Badfish

Unlike Rage...these dudes lived there when the shit went down

I was 8 turning 9 on April 30th that year was born 4/30/83 and I was watching it on TV like he said in the song.

Thumbs always up to Sublime!

On April 26, 1992, I was in the navy stationed on a ship out of Long Beach. They closed the base down and wouldn't let anyone leave. We were on lockdown.

He was in Long Beach CA during the riots. I was in kindergarten lol

Solid band. Solid React.

Us Mexicans where already here 🍻

"Lavish!" Superb Word CHOICE!!

Insta-clicked and liked. Keep the sublime coming!

Whattup from Boise! Loved that we were mentioned, always loved this song cause of that haha

Nice shout out.. great vids brother keep em coming

Reppin the indigenous, this land is our land. Thank you for recognizing.

Love your videos been listening to your sublime reactions all the music I hear on your channel sounds like it was recorded on an old school tape from someone listening to a radio gotta up ya audio game sir much love keep doing what you doing sir

This is my #1 all time favorite Sublime song!💚 You are 100% correct on what this song is about.

Ha I love when he says Eugene,Or. I’m from roseburg close as we get to being famous

And here we are now....28 years later and this song is more relevant now than ever. #justice

What Bradley is singing about, I was 10yrs. old at the time. Just grew up with Sublime. Love them, just love them. I don't know. Hard to play on drums too

Found this video because of Sublime. Subscribed because of the Oregon State background. Go Beavs!

Many, many more of your generation and those born after 2000 need to react to Sublime. We need to resurrect the dope music from my generation... the 90s, baby!

Oh man this takes me back!

RIP Bradley Nowell. So fluent in so many genres of music. No one will ever really know how someone with so much talent can die so young!

So way back when I'm in a local bar and a band starts playing and they are kicking ass, Find out years later that it was Sublime because remembered their name but that happened when they weren't famous yet. Anyways they always had that sound from that day in the bar that caught my attention and loved it. Cool stuff man, Cheers and rock ya later.

Sublime is so good. Even your grandma and parents like Sublime Bob Marleys the same way

Much love from Eugene. Been listening to this tune a lot the past month.

Always always one of my favs. Love watching your reaction

Thanks, Niko! ❤️

My all time favorite band. Good reaction man.

Lake Worth, Florida. That’s right, Bradley was there in 96, playing music mostly

Do "Don't Push" by Sublime next! Bradley got a nice flow on that track and the beat is funky af... I mean all their shit slaps tho, so that ain't saying much 😂

Thank you Nico.

Great reaction bro 🕺👽😎

I mean Led Zeppelin was huge and touring before I was born and had stopped recording anything new before I was even born. But I heard their music and had collected all their albums before the 6th grade.... How is it you don’t know Sublime???? It was all over the radio and still to this day it’s on everywhere.... why is this?????

its called Pawn Shop not April 26, 1992 lol, but I gotta give you a huge TY for being one of maybe 2 to react to Sublime! They are like no other and always put good vibes out. Another boy we lost way too soon tho! RIP Bradley Nowell (Lead Singer). And just some insight to the time and place of the riots, yes it initially started because of the 4 LA cops being acquitted on all charges which you can find an angle to argue that particular case as yes Rodney initiated by charging the officer but they then as we have all seen beat the crap outa him. Someone videoed the incident and we all saw the 81 seconds of the beating, but the first of it with King charging them cut out, but the first jury saw it and that is why they got acquitted, (unbelievable as it is) Within minutes of the verdict all hell broke loose and took Rodney King himself on TV asking if we could all just get along to end the riots days later and dozens of people dead and 5000 fires and 100's of millions of dollars in damage. Yes the initial reaction was over white and black conflict but during the riots the Asians took the biggest hit because it was most of their stores that got hit because of the conflict between blacks and Asians, the blacks didn't like them coming into their neighborhoods and "finding success" opening small businesses, and the Mexicans got in on it too as at the time in the 80's and 90's it seemed like they beefed with every race in S. Cali. After the second trial two officers were acquitted and two sent to federal prison, and in 2012 Rodney King was found dead in his swimming pool of an apparent drowning. My question is why does it always take something so big and publicized to get us talking? Does someone have to die before we try and find compromise? And even then it's calm for a bit then right back to it. Who's out there still breeding hatred for another human, we didn't ask or have a choice to come into this world and we are all freaking stuck here. Can you imagine how amazing it would be if racism, chauvinism, etc. didn't exist? One can dream can't they? But hey thanks for the reaction again, great job! Keep it up!

dope reviews dude

That cut " homicide.. never doing no time" that's bdp and krs1

Thank you Nico

This one dope af! They were so raw 💯

100% correct about the subject of the song

YAY! So happy you reacted to more Sublime! Great Request Niko! THANX!

Shout out to victorville (victimville) CA!

Great reaction to a great song

thanks Niko, I would be a Patreon but funds is low. Which is why I will become one since you put on some jam that got me feeling better.Let me get back on my feet and we shall get some more up in this B

Everything Brad talked about in this song was true. If you hear interviews from some of the people who were participating in the riots, people really were just filling up their vehicles with merch from stores and driving shit home. Then they'd torch the buildings. That really was going on. There was also murders, assaults and everything else you could imagine that people just got away with because police were called back from the area of the riots for their own protection.

Thanks Nico

You should do SUMMER TIME by SUBLIME

Sublime - wrong way Or lets go get stoned

Yeah, the RATM song you reacted to, I wrote the first verse of this song in the comments 😊

I love the storytelling in this song, and how they say it wasn’t about Rodney king, it wasn’t about what colour you are it was about the LAPD being assholes to everyone for way too long. The poor people in long beach and south central had had enough and were all “let’s take what we can and burn the rest to the ground” which isn’t right but it makes sense. Do yourself a favour and watch the LA92 documentary on Netflix, it makes this song make more sense. I was 7 when that all happened watching it on the news in Australia and I’m like “Mum why are they all so angry?” And she told me “a man was killed and it wasn’t right, so now they’re angry…” how do you explain a socio political uprising to a kid?? It did make me think about inequality a lot more and when I heard this song I totally got what it was about from half a world away. By far my favourite sublime song. Thanks for the video x

react ti Doin Time - Sublime !!!

God damn, Sublime could lay down a groove.

Eugene, Oregon...I'm from Medford, Oregon. ;)

This song is a masterpiece. It should be played in American History classes.

Sad he never lived to see this album released. That dope life ends all dreams.

The cities he named at the end were all cities they played. Been a fan from the beginning and saw them tons of times.

My fav music group. There you go boy.

It's interesting to watch someone break down something in a structured, historical, textbook way. When it was all raw emotion for a teenager, at the time.

Sublime-Don’t Push !!

Everyone needs to stand up to the cops is what he is saying, cops have been out of control for to long, the ppl need to put em in check. Thats what i gather he is saying.

Crazy how history can repeat itself

He was shouting out all the places they were going on the tour at the end

“As long as I’m alive imma live it’ll be cool”

No one took all their influences and blended them into something so bomb like Brad Nowell!!!! He was definitely a G

The name of the song and the actual date of the riot beginning was April 29, 1992. When Bradley Nowell did the vocals for the song, he said the wrong date.

I was 13 When this album dropped in '96. Every kid from Oregon knew the part at the end when he mentions "Eugene Oregon" and would belt it out in perfect time when this was on... they didn't know the rest of the words for the entire song but for those 2.5 seconds, every kid in Oregon felt hard AF... and we definitely weren't. Not me though, i knew them words from the album insert.

I really like your reaction to the line as long as I’m alive I’m gonna live illegal in the moment. You definitely caught it as the most basic and essential meaning of the song and you were correct. It strikes like a thunderbolt. But it’s not about history it’s about now. It’s about living in a society that is so basically criminal, So inherently and obviously corrupt, that the only proper response is to live outside the laws drawn up by said society.

the sample is from mobb deep

RIP Bradly

Big ups NiKo

I'm giving this a 👍 before I even watch it cause you're the only person to get the title right. I'm so sick of people referring to this song as April 29th.

This was the LA riots after Rodney King The chief of police pulled the cops out set a kill zone parameter and said let it burn . it was crazy

Gotta react to Doin Time. Probably one of their most vibey songs

I see Sublime, I click! Please react to "Wrong Way".."Date Rape" .."What I got"..."Bad Fish" 🔥

I was in the Navy stationed at Long Beach at the time. The shut the base down...nobody in and nobody out.

Sublime has a great cover of "guava jelly" by Bob Marley. Listen on your own time, it's beautiful

This song hits differently with the current situation now. The more things change the more they stay the same.

April 26 1992.. I remember that day cuz I skipped class that day in 8th grade to visit my mom in jail..

He may have been a time traveler from 2020...

And here we are again 😔

Sublime is soooo DOPE!!!! The music is F’ing Amazing!!!! Check them out!!! It’s a Rabbit Hole worth hopping in 4 Shore....
