Macklemore - Otherside (with lyrics)

[spankard1]

@nickrg429 its bun b getting interviewed

[DimitrisGamingRoom]

Fuck the grammys.

Macklemore best new artist.

[mdizzzle91]

This is a poor song because it perpetuates the myth that drugs are an insidious force destabilising society... what happened to personal responsibility and accountability? You don't have one sip of syrup or one oxy and immediately become a tyrannical fiend, becoming addicted to a substance is an indirect personal choice based on the situation you put yourself in. Instead of trying to absolve blame to an inanimate object (drugs) or media influences (Lil Wayne), accept that YOU control your fate.

[RonaldLTcats]

@mdizzzle91 That is very jaded point of view. Get educated on the subject then see if your opinion changes.

[mdizzzle91]

not sure how you elicited that I was uneducated from that spiel, I just reject the close-minded façade that drugs are evil and choose to advocate personal responsibility instead... if you can't draw that conclusion yourself perhaps you should 'get educated' yourself?

[MrEatsChildren]

@mdizzzle91 bet you've never touched a drug in your life.

[mdizzzle91]

@MrEatsChildren you'd lose that bet, don't really see how it's relevant though

[ProjectForzo]

@mdizzzle91 my cousin had drugs once, he got straight A's in school then tried drugs and acted up and became nothing he used to be, although he has become better and nearly the same he will not be the same person, mentally and physically. I'm against drugs.

[mdizzzle91]

@ProjectForzo Sounds as though your entire ethos is based around one solitary personal experience... shame about your cousin, but he put himself in that position through a series of choices, although it's much easier to blame an inanimate substance than accept personal responsibility I suppose

[ProjectForzo]

@mdizzzle91 yes i agree its was majority his fault for trying <3

[910385103858]

song is so inspirational...

[nickrg429]

whos being interviewed in the back?



[spatyo]

i can feel it all

[spatyo]

omg this shit is so cool

[skatedgk11]

i quit smoking..

[GorgonDrageil]

...came here from a Halo video o_O

[1IEnergy]

Why can't we buy this song off iTunes without the crappy fences remix on it again?

[blackburgerKING]

i cant stop listening. this song makes me really think. Real Talk. Damn son keep em good music coming. the trumpets are so nice in this song. Fuck. its amazing what GOOD music does :))

[TomahawksHD]

what's the backround to this song?

[TimoKalf89]

@TomahawksHD Read the lyrics and find out? Not really rocket science...

Or do you mean the song he covered? Red Hot Chilly Peppers

[Raaaccchhheeelll96]

@TomahawksHD Otherside by the Red Hot Chili Peppers

[HxCguyy]

@TomahawksHD Under The Bridge- Red Hot Chili Peppers

[HellolzEveryone]

@HxCguyy The reason it's called Otherside is because it samples Otherside...

[simbadweasel]

@HxCguyy no, just no. this is not under the bridge, its otherside but you got the chili peppers right though

[showingtheway]

my favorite rap song ever.

[DualCoreSniping]

@MaidanCanada weed makes kids more mature and show them how the real world is so SHUT THE FUCK UP Grab your Greens kids :)

[PvpMenace]

@DualCoreSniping Now back to reality... Weed allows kid escape the real world just for that one moment. If anything it has the exact opposite effect that you stated... 

[Erockmunnay]

Sometimes you have to ruin yourself to make something great. Props to Macklemore for making it back and using it right.

[Maltemackmannen]

man i wish this version would be on spotify :(!

[MrFinnJohnson]

"The fact of it is, most people that rap like this, talkin' about some shit they havent lived"

[NovationNation]

"weed is not a drug - denial" So true but it is a drug that is nearly impossible to OD on therefore it is just as much a drug as asprin is but less dangerous. i smoke dope i do it all the time its awesome dont get me wrong but i know it is a drug and seriously kids who havent tried weed yet smoke dope all you want but make sure you have other priorities and all like it said in the song, you dont want your only form of motivation to be what the dealer is supplying

[MaidanCanada]

@NovationNation Yo, Dont encourage kids to do that shit! I was hooked on weed for 3 years bro. It can change you man. Seriously.

[NovationNation]

@MaidanCanada My bad bro see i was high when i wrote that xD weed isn't cool guys. you should only do it medicinally, not sure how you spell that :P.

[MrLuluHD]

What i love about Macklemore is the fact that every line that he spits can be formed into a sort of quote . Every word that comes from his mouth is so heavy. He's what every real rap artist should aspire to be. Macklemore till I die.

P.S : Plan on getting " We live on the cusp of life, thinking it won't be us" across my back, from shoulder blade - to shoulder blade :)

[kingme502]

I love drugs.... and love this song...hmmm

[cagedNenraged]

this is true. some rappers got me to wanna move to brooklyn or compton LOL

[baknblak666]

Look at that, an anti-drug message in a rap song that goes 500x harder than anything Lil Wayne writes...and all that idiot has to do is talk about how much money he makes....and then makes more money. Macklemore for life.

[HitdaBall]

i cant even relate to this but this seriously is the best song ever made.

[Khroniqul]

Nice Vids

[razorslayer7]

This shit is TOO prime.

[GFXAmped]

I love how no one seems to get the messages from some of his songs....

[hiddejan13]

@GFXAmped

Well tell me what do you think he tries to tell us with this song?

Please tell me.

[MrOmniSci]

yeah its a good song but yall are retarded. having been there and done that (heroin addiction) weed and syrup aint shit and im not braggin. neither one is really gonna kill you unless you were to drink like 5 bottles or some shit idk. just my opinion

[TheDrhowes]

i need to no what this guys ablum is called with this song on because this is a must download

[mellamoagustin]

@TheDrhowes This is for "The VS. EP". His other is "The Language of My World"

[LDC25xGoody]

better than pretty much anything on the vma's right now, they can keep theyre music

[Tacosnubben]

The only rap song i like... also the best song i know.

[aduba73]

@DangerSkateCo have u ever heard of Nas. he doesnt promote drugs and sex and he raps about reality to.

[DangerSkateCo]

first rapper that does not aprove of drugs, does not sing about having sex, but raps about reality.. am i dreaming

[justifiedloss]

i thought that was diabolic! lol

[kungsmurfen]

Im really almost only listening to metal... And still this song is deep it is undescribeable. :)

[7smartnoodle]

Isn't it "Yup, he had five up on." Not "Yup, yup five a bone."?

[ooooush]

\Macklemore, I'm kinda fucking in love with your voice so yeah.

[iamsofly123456]

Holy fuck he is amazing. I could see him and RHCP rocking out together, that would be sick.

[qu3s0]

2 people dint get the message...

[xoBrittanaOfficial]

Not totally getting the meaning towards this song. Its amazing, by far. But I'm not sure if I'm getting the right idea. Someone wanna clear it up for me? :)

[babylonia3600]

this* is music.

tune with true meaning, meaning that actually matters.

[MrRocCity9]

he has so much flow, so much swag, and he's rapping for a reason. something you'd never find mac, lil wayne or wiz doing

[Spraaaaay]

Such a good song, really hits me in the heart.

[fakkeRICH]

wait what does he say about lil wayne? cause i dont like lil wayne

[texasboy235]

@fakkeRICH hahah i hate lil wayne too. but he was talking about how lil wayne drinks purple too

[fakkeRICH]

wait what does he say about lil wayne?

[MrOgreSlap]

Im generally not a big fan of rap but this is a great song

[Maltemackmannen]

[halomanic21]

What do mechanical pencils remind you kids of? Midget robot penis hehe...

[Bamblagram]

yes, its a good song.

but its a GREAT message.

The lyrics really mean a lot, because i know exactly how this is.

Maybe not exactly how the lyrics say it, there is some bending that has to be done.

But this song is as close as it gets, and thats REALLY close.

[spicyxlilxman]

this guy is so sick! he reminds me a lot of aesop rock, with that same delicious flow.

[ItalianAmericanoBoy]

2 ppl was trying to spam the like button but hit the dislike by accident

[DUMBC0w]

If you like this song you might also like "River runs deep" By knowmads.

Really good song guyss..

[runescapesasukee]

this song made me go clean thanks macklemore =' )

[5ickniss]

Holy crap. I just heard this song for the first time and could NOT believe i was hearing something so epically awesome. Legitly the most rad song that has ever entered my ears. This shits prime.

I am proud to present,

Macklemore: The King of True Hip-Hop

"Long live the King."

[Boroviac]

@5ickniss its just one song..

[ProGhostRecon]

@5ickniss go listen to the remix that has Fences in it. its so much better.

[niekudancer]

you never think that your going to be that person and you always say yo yourself: theyll see, ill be the only one who is pure, whos good.

next think you know, when you look in the mirror you say: who the fuck is this scary person? and you close your eyes and you hate who youve become. and you dont get up. thats what it is to do drugs. so fucking dont.

[sk8r218]

I've been listening to macklemore for a year and every time i hear this song it sends chills down my spine. mackelmore is better than eminem. some of the most influential shit i've ever heard.

[thewickedshit42017]

@sk8r218

seriously? how can you even put them close to one another?

even at eminem's best, he wasnt anywhere near this.

[munchater]

To all those people disagreeing with the line "weeds not a drug thats denial" i would just like to put it out there weeds a drug its mindalltering not mager but still a drug and it is a gateway drug for most people jus sayin

[Spraaaaay]

@munchater Weed contains psychoactive chemicals therefore it's a drug, it's probably because it's a plant so people dont associate it with 'drugs' you know.. :)

[frogs482]

Where can I get this song

[Awesomeman1987]

@frogs482 lol i couldn't find it for so long to and the i just typed otherside macklemore download into google and it comes up on mediashare

[jenners0334]

Love this song <3 very well done.

[RenegadeWade]

You morons, cannabis is a drug. ANY material that alters normal bodily function is a drug. Caffeine is a drug. Advil is a drug. Cannabis is a drug. Cocaine is a drug. Okay? Now, there are legal and illegal drugs. There you go, now that you kids have been educated, enjoy the song.

[MuRKiinCooNz]

@roffles92 Duurr

[pysauno]

ok kids... anything that is mood and mind altering is a drug...

[chickentanktop]

very first video ive ever seen with 0 DISLIKES

thats gotta saay somethin about this guy

[kevanlukk]

@AYEMang I don't think he thinks weed as a drug like oxycotin or prpl drank, he means weed as a way to stop being motivated when it becomes a habit.No push, no drive, nothing to make you want to follow your dreams.

[buddyfluff]

is this the same song as the version Otherside feat. Fences?? its the same lyrics, just a totally different beat and no singing part at the beginning

[iprank247]

this dudes underrated...i can fucking vibe to this

[stepheng101]

If you like this song (and the general theme of hip-hop presenting a realistic perspective on drugs for once) check out "Funny Colors in my Mushroom Trails" by Atmosphere.

[TheSnarfable]

or play guitar for god sakes

[TheSnarfable]

alright... obviously weeds a drug, of course its grown in the ground and deffinetly not as harmful as other drugs, and even alcohol. personally i would smoke weed before anything else. but its not necisarily "cool" or "harmless" if you could get through life without touching one substance that would be awesome. but that usually just doesnt happen. in my opinion weed makes you half worthless. and also my opinion just putting that out there... lil wayne is a dumb fucking retard that cant even rap

[mfmarcelotapia]

why'd he say lil wayne is his favorite

[AlephZero6767]

@roffles92 What separates weed for everything listed in this song? Everything else has to be MADE. Ppl make cocaine, ppl make syrup that is put in ya sprite, ppl make alcohol. You don't make weed, just grow it, cut it, dry it, roll/pack it, then light it, no additves, no chemical processes needed.

Besides How many people died form weed? NONE. And if I'm wrong on that statement, just recall how many more have been killed by just alcohol, alone.

[ShootingStuffCanada]

when does he say weed isnt a drug?

[Tannerita]

@TheRSGoonExperience in the song, he's quoting how naive people say weeds not a drug when it actually is.

[ILikeKewlStuff]

@roffles92 caffeine is a drug

[MrRabbOo]

send me the beat man really want this bad!!!

[goonboiyeye]

song changed my life fo real tho

[averyskater1]

red hot chili peppers are amazing in the background.

[Prosthetics100]

@roffles92 Alchohol is a drug.

[YouRk0ed11]

Great , now i need to go sip some cough syrup so i can relate to this song.

[Gamemaster003]

You know ive been listen to this song for a while and now i just realize the message or what he was talking about and it really sends a message

[8o8hawaiii]

Weed isn't a drug it's a plant although it has drug effects so it's classified as a anti-depressant.

[ILikeKewlStuff]

@8o8hawaiii coke is a plant (leaves)

[8o8hawaiii]

@ILikeKewlStuff I Know that it's also a satisfying drink.

[ILikeKewlStuff]

@8o8hawaiii caffeine isnt a drink lol

[eYesEey0u12]

@8o8hawaiii A drug is anything that changes the mental state of your brain, so by that definition..yes it is...

[roffles92]

@TheRSGoonExperience the lyrics are "and 'weeds not a drug' - thats denial". it wasnt what ayemang said

[xXS1NK1LLERXx]

@roffles92 hey all you guys.....look it up....weed is NOT a drug its a herb, and its considered a substance....not a chemical substance as some would argue, because it is not chemically altered, and roffles...just because something has "drug like qualities" doesnt mean its a drug. just to clear that off i will give u a retarded example that works......jenkem, makes the user hallucinate and watever.....but thats not a drug since all the user is doing is inhaling ones gases that are made by feces.

[godserens]

the lyric, the beat, the sound... is so genial you can feel it.

[sk1m1k1ll3r]

damn..

[pysauno]

What's 5 a bone mean? He says it in the beginning part

[TheRSGoonExperience]

@pysauno i think it means it costs 5 dollars but idk for sure

[Robertyama1]

@roffles92 ok he didnt mean literally if your talking about qualities then yeah it is sugar can also be considered one thats not what he fucking means hes saying the difference is huge between cough syrup and weed one is casual another is hurtful to you and others around you

[Sogu]

@roffles92 theres no denial that weed is a drug but i think we just put negative connotations on the word "drug". I mean tylenol is a drug too its not gonna ruin ur life lol. Weed is a drug but alcohol is poison. LEGALIZE IT!

[XblisterXexistX]

@AYEMang ur fuckign retarted, baby brah

[AYEMang]

@XblisterXexistX yeah i'm "fuckign" retarded.

[ryanjohnston1996]

We Made You by: Chris Webby listen to it

[tLWubbie]

sip some lean and this song will make u feel like god or king

[xFuryProductions]

insanely amazing

[TheCaptainMexico]

this is the best rap ive ever heard.

[michael5451]

Fucking love this song..

The message it sends...

How true it actually is...

Really hits u ...

[iz0nat0r]

@michael5451 Could you tell me what its about :$?

I really cant place it.

[stepheng101]

@iz0nat0r It's about the effect drugs can have on people's lives, but shown in a lot of different ways. The song warns against the "drugs you thought you'd never try" that are highly addictive and entrap people, weed that people think "isn't really a drug" even though it's harmless chemical effects can still make people amotivational. Mostly this song is about codiene.

[iz0nat0r]

@stepheng101 Thanks!

[ZMOinc]

i frekin love this song

[Ventionblast07]

SWEET!!!

[Ventionblast07]

SWEET!!!

[soccerfanatic6]

the whole song writes a message, not just a couple parts. thats talent and not to forget to add it all flows together perfectly. he spits so fast and im so intreged that i actually had to stop the video a couple times just to read along with the lyrics. haha

soo sickk

[drewklever11]

i thought this guys was black when i heard it but he looks like a french white man hahah very good song tho
