[darvon63]

I Love It

[billyblaze100]

I served in the military for four years in the 82nd airborne division out of fort bragg north caolina. I had a black first sergeant who called me a racist and repeatedly harrassed me and a few other "white boys" as he put it. so i know where you are coming from. maybe i just forgive ignorant people easier than you do. sorry about whatever happened to you.

[metalgirl2]

I agree with that. saying you don't like something isn't wrong. insulting a video is. but if someone doesn't like a video, you're right, people shouldn't call names.

[billyblaze100]

wfailed, how would you know what i have been through, huh? you dont even know who i am. and i dont know you which is why i am sorry for calling you immature. that was uncalled for. i have put up with racism all my life and i dont put up with it now. So i apologize for the uncalled for remark. everybody leads and has different lifes so who is anybody to judge anybody else. again, sorry.

[metalgirl2]

yes but saying you like a video isn't rude...saying a video "sucks" or whatever is very rude.

[rockerheadDFF]

it's a mash up of Johnny Cash's Folsom prison Blues and Cypress Hill's Insane In The Brain .... if you ever heard the last one you should know .... or maybe if you're under 18 y/o you might be a lil young to know it , it's a song from the 90's

[billyblaze100]

wfailed, whats with the racism, ya got some sort of complex or something. or are you still immature?

[brokenjaw1971]

Type "everlast interview" in the search and there it is. You should drop the "w" in your name and replace it with an "i".

[s1u1p1r1a1]

very fuckin good this song makes me very fuckin happy and im a huge country fan

[WritersScrap]

Bravo Bravo Great Cover! Cypress Hill on the organ is a Great Hook Also.

[jessicasgirl4life]

awesome song.....i like this one better than the original, but love both

[bournbridge]

this is why everlast is the greatest all time creative force in rap

[mayorofwilsonville]

Great video but he murdered the song

[JlMMIEJAM]

Everlast covered this song the way Everybody should Cover a song. He put his spin on it but at the same time gave props through video that it was still Johnny Cash's song, he paid tribute to Johnny through the video.

Alot of these asshole rappers sample/steal songs and dont give props to the original artists and sometimes go as far as claim it to be their own. They want to be called "musicians" to boot lol If they were musicians then they wouldn't need to sample to begin with..RAP IS LAME

[catweazlex]

I agree with you as far as sampling is concerned,but as a producer myself(rap/hip hop)all my material is original and played,and if I use someone elses music I usually learn to play it rather than sample.That allows me to put my own twist on it.I also play bass as well.Your sentiments are justified though.....

[AintNoDevil]

The one thing I kinda like about rap is that you can rip some samples from someone but you can't cover a song really...If someone does a song Amazingly leave it the fuck alone, don't tarnish another musicians song with your possibly shitty interpritation...Like this song! Fuck everyone that had a hand in this, even Johnny Cash if he gave them the rights to do this

[JlMMIEJAM]

In a perfect world, there would be no covers and/or sampling. Ofcourse if sampling were outlawed then the Rappers would be fucked because most all of them lack the talent and/or creativity to create their own music. They rely on ripping off other artists. I'm not a big fan of covers and 98% of them dont even compare to the originals. This cover is tolerable to me though. Some songs should just be left alone period. This song, arguably, falls into that category

[brokenjaw1971]

Before Everlast released this cover, he flew to Tennessee and met with Johnny Cash's son, John Carter Cash, and asked for his permission to release it. He played the song for him and said if he didn't like it the song would "never see the light of day." But John Carter said he liked it and gave his approval.

[JlMMIEJAM]

Like i said dude, its not a bad cover and Everlast went about things the right way. I'd like Ev even more if he scrapped Rap all together

[diewithonor]

wont happen thats his roots if it wasent for rap he woudlnt have been who he is now

[JlMMIEJAM]

That chick at 1:44 looks like Sarah Palin lol

[bequietanddrive1988]

YA YOURE RIGHT....fuckin moron

[JlMMIEJAM]

I KNOW I'm right !

[JlMMIEJAM]

I'm not a big fan of covers to begin with but this one isn't bad at all. I got a kick out of "Insane in the Brain" being used as a sample. I dont think Everlast did a disservice to Johnny Cash at all, i think he paid tribute to a guy he admired

[stoicsophist]

Everlast showed this song to Johny Cash's son, and he loved it. Honestly, I don't believe this Everlast's finest work, but damn this song grows on you!

[gioram09]

i agree, if you dont like it, dont watch it.

i love cash & nothing can beat the original, but i'm so glad that everlast made a remake, its like a tribute to Cash.

remining people of this GREat entertainer.

Epic

[metalgirl2]

why do people leave comments bashing videos? if you don't like a song, just don't go to the video. simple as that.

[catweazlex]

Whos the Ringo Starr lookalike on the keys?

[viper87654321]

Keefus Ciancia

[bparks115]

This is the worst shit I've ever heard in my life. How dare this sad sack of shit RUIN a classic by the great Johnny Cash. He should have never been allowed to do this. I'm disgusted.

[jamesjones950]

good cover. personally prefer waylon's version, but a great song is a great song, period

[pinworms70]

Holy Christ is this shit. I love how people say Kid Rock messed up Warren Zevons song yet love this shit...Sounds like someone playing Johnny Cash in a busted up hoopty with a squeeky duck in the trunk. Pure crap.

[NEVERLOOOOSE]

Everlast ist der beste

danke das es dich gibt alter

[catweazlex]

I love this,Cypress Hill are probably happy too,its their beat.I think Johnny Cash would like this too,he covered that NIN track and did it well....

[dalkhen]

Good song, but no one can match cash

[GhostDog008]

Excellent cover

[futurerockstar94]

This just kills Johnny Cash's song"Folsom prison Blues"

[bassanglr]

nothing can beat Cash

[bassanglr]

great cover though

[combatbarbie2u]

of course the great johnny cash would never cover a rock song would he? "hurt" by NIN

fuck if you dont like this dont watch it he is showing much respect for the man in black you all ssy johnny would hate it you are so wrong the man would have loved this.

[bluefox72]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[johnsonrouge]

hey there, i need your HELP! i know this song in a bit diffrent way. it´s the same "scretching" which reverse every 2 seconds but it begins with: PACK IT OUT PACK IT IN LET ME BEGIN.. does anybode know what i am meaning??? =)

[bleier1]

house of pain- jump around

[johnsonrouge]

:) thank you a lot. that´s what i searched!

[jaboy1986]

Actually that Scretching aint from jump around but Insane in the membrane by cypress hill. just 2 let u know

[feistyred04]

Cash is turning over in his grave? Everlast should be shot? Come on. Even Johnny did "remixes" from the music of others. Does Bob Dylan ring a bell? Everlast did not wreck, maim or otherwise destroy the song. They just put it to a different genre. If Cash were a true artist (and he was), he would've appreciated the spin.

[timothymcabee]

By far the WORST cover of ANY SONG EVER!!!!! Everlast should be shot for doing it and the record company should be shot for putting it out.

[blacknumber187]

he visited johnnjy cash's son prior to it being released, everlast said 'it never has to see the light of day if you dont like it' johnny jr said he loved the spin everlast had put on it and would be dissapointed if it wasnt released.

[Reservoir1951]

johnny is rolling in his grave over that crap

[buckandevie]

he looks like a skinny Tony Soprano

[accordselux]

Jump around, jump around, jump around, jump up jump up and get down!

I mean...I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die...

[JAYFARRELL13]

fantastic tune, I had to hear it a few times to get use to it, your a legend bruv, now go break eminems jaw that piece of shit pussy

[loginman200]

best cover i've ever heard.

[TopperMcHarley]

Horrid filth of a cover.

[maldoman23]

good stuff eric,everlast,whitey ford!! remember...i got demons running thru my sleep, they like to creep when my thoughts get deep!!or..now i rock rhymes over funky beat, i fuck fine hookers between satin sheets!!

[shirleycoffie]

very nicely done

[vigil8686]

What a great cover. The hip-hop flavor fits so well. Everlast is amazing.

[albertaboy12]

this sounds good.

[IWW610]

Fucking outstanding! *****

[bkingofbeers]

everlast is a legend,great version of this song.

[HeCalledTheSh1tPoo]

a LEGEND?!?! do you even know what a fucking legend is? it's a band that revolutionized music and continues to entertain and influence generation after generation... it's certainly not some shitty band that had one big hit and is now trying desperately to make a comeback...Johnny Cash is a legend and Everlast should burn in hell for ruining his music

[bkingofbeers]

one big hit my ass,he has sold millons of records in house of pain and as a solo artist.john carter cash likes the song so who gives a fuck what u think.

[SpunkYoMomma]

this is shit

[heemuli]

Oh my God! This is so good! Something really different. :)

[stereos80]

It works...it works..;-)not more to say...;-))

respect for you guys..

[ricotermonen]

As a long time hip-hop lover, i've followed Everlast's career from the rhyme syndicate days, House of pain was gold, and his career took a change, a bit different, but musically I must pay my respect...still great music! It has soul.

[cyberskills]

Just awesome Ev - you´ll always be DaMan!

[dj22or8y]

EV, You never cease to amaze me. Folsom Prison Blues with a hip-hop beat. I loved it and I think the man in black would have enjoyed it as well. Can't wait for the new CD!

[sl4mh4rd3er]

To sie kurwa nazywa muzyka!! Nie ma takiego drugiego goscia jak Everlast!!

[CCinIndy]

A classic waiting to happen; Ev is the only mutha that could pull this off so well and with such respect and authenticity...All the PROPS and RESPECT

[mchri22]

still waiting for the cd

[andersenkalle]
