WHY AM I DONG IT THIS WAY?

A lot of channels do Patreon or Youtube Memberships at a cost to the viewer which puts a lot of content behind a paywall, meaning it is pay to view, and a large amount of the subscriber base miss out on a lot of content, or the quality of the content available to non members reduces. I don’t like this approach.

My way - EVERY one will get to see ALL content. If you aren’t in a position to donate - you still get to see ALL content and your current experience of the channel will NOT change at all. If you do want to support the channel then you get to decide how I prioritise the videos.

    Wishing well - would be perfect for next reaction video. Very sad song and so real at the same time. It’s like his own therapy and confession

    "never seen a hell so cold" its earth, earth is hell

    I hope you keep doing these because Juice encompasses exactly how I've felt my entire adult life. Ive talked to multiple psychologist, psychiatrist, etc.. and sadly most people that are in this field don't actually understand depression and anxiety, they just study it and want to give different pills. When the truth is we no longer want to gradually get better and eventually, sometime way in the future, maybe, be neutrual with Wellbutrin and trazadone. We want the euphoria from percs or other opiods so we can feel normal with friends, have fun, and enjoy life now, not in a distant future that might not even come, but with something we know works, even if one day it takes everything from us. You talk about the why hell and never heaven. Ive never heard you talk about Africa, thats because thats not where you live. Juice talks about hell because truly, that's where he lives. I enjoy his music because its hard for me to talk about these issues because I do very well in life and every family member, friene, and professional I talk to beings up how well I'm doing, I dont need to feel this way. So now I self medicate and walk through the abyss of my success hiding all my drugs inside my body while everyone sees me as better and happy because now its all my responsibility to figure it out.
  • @Guguhupf999
    Juice was thankfully always free to speak his mind in his music and create what he wanted to. I‘d love to see a „Dark Place“ and „Denial“ reaction. They‘re probably the saddest and realest songs he ever made.
  • @YoSleepyMusic
    He has so many sad songs it’s insane but also a ton of hype songs.
  • @dcfcjakub6557
    Great reaction mate!! The animation at the end shows what struggles Juice was going through. At the start he’s fighting 3 demons these are stress, anxiety and depression. He beats them demons but then the 3 demons turn into one big one. This big demon represents drugs. He loses the battle with this demon and gets sent to the sky. He carries on his battle in the sky which he wins. This shows that even though drugs defeated him, his music is helping so many people through drug struggles. Juice then has one last look at his fans and the people hes helped. Then he flies away and rests with the stars forever✨.

    If at some point on your Juice Journey you wonder if Juice was always this heavy hearted check out 'Armed and Dangerous ' one of his more hype songs and a video which shows him truly happy I feel. (Edit: At some point listening to Juice freestyle on one of the many radio shows he did, is a must I feel to truly grasp how talented this kidd really was
  • Juice Wrld from what I know was struggling with anxiety and stress due to the fame that he accumulated in a short period of time and the fear of not living up to the hype or in other words underperforming. Also, he had his heart broken from girls in the past so that is the reason why he has tons of songs (All girls are the same , Lucid dreams,ect) mentioning relationship problems . He also made love songs dedicated to his girlfriend(s) before passing which shows how dedicated and reliant on true love he was. Key words for Juice's music are: Vulnerability, Relatability, Freestyles, Hard truth , many times hype! (He also had the ability to make songs with deep lyrics sound cheerful and have a nice vibe)!!

    Juice is truly a legend and one of the best artists of our generation, that millions of peoople relate to. His emo rap style took over for a reason, most young adults nowadays feel very similar to him and also struggle with mental health or/and addiction, so listening to his music is very helpful. And his work ethic was very good thankfully, so we have about 3-4 thousand songs from him in his very short time being here.
  • @pitapita3559
    7:35 Juice was always, I think, in pain over making sure everyone and their experience was good, and he didn't want things to fall completely apart... he put so much pressure on His own self! With regards to his girlfriend, no he loved her dearly and she loves him, the beautiful eyes deceiving is more a statement of the general danger of trusting people .. especially because everyone was loved/beautiful to him. Wanting for that 999, flipping all those 6s, was his whole hope about what he's being about. Thank you for your thoughtful reaction & comments <3
  • @rogermole4972
    “Over ice, i’m freezing” his heart has gone cold and numb. “Beautiful eyes, deceiving. We may die this evening” If you look into his eyes to see how he’s doing you’d probably think everything was fine but he’s really not and he could be gone at any second.
  • @NotSmurf
    Juice had ADHD/ADD This started him on the path with drugs, Why? His Doctors prescribed him adderall when he was a child to keep him focused in school ever since he was hooked but said he hated the way it made him feel. Then he moved on to Xanax in college (highschool) while eveyone was smoking weed his friend group was popping pills he mentions this in many songs Example for xans: Make it back "I remember maths class i aint do s*it i would just xan out" has a happy vibe Example for pills: From my window "Remember popping pills before it was cool getting ridiculed back in high school" Sad song Anyways sorry i rushed typing this keep up the good wirk
  • @rayalto7543
    Loving the juice wrld reactions so far! His music helped me out of some rough times and I eventually reached out for help to quit drugs, especially after hearing what happened. I probably wouldnt have made it this far if it wasnt for him. LLJ 🕊
  • @HxnryB07
    The moral of the animation: he was fighting his demons (stress, anxiety and depression hence there are 3 of them). He ends up beating them all then they all combine to form a purple demon which reflects the battle Juice WLRD was fighting against drugs. That demon is purple as Juice liked to abuse lean and it has the colour purple. Lean is a common drug made from sprite, codiene cough syrup and purple jolly ranchers. He unfortunately loses this battle, just like how in real life he died due to a drug overdose and wakes up in the sky ( a reference to the saying "rest in the stars"). His death wasnt going to stop his battle and legacy live on that's why he continues to fight. His mother created the live free 999 charity in his honour to help young people speak and talk about their struggles with depression, anxiety, stress and addiction. He then looks down on the world and reflects on his short but impactful time here.
  • @Wrldoncets
    Hi I’m a big fan of Juice WRLD and I listen to a lot of Juice Wrlds music I’ve found myself dealing with the same issues he felt with over years I remember when I heard one of his song it was like a twin I related to a lot of his music. Anxiety and depression and being so lonely my heart is very cold I need friends but I just feel awkward talking I find myself depressed thinking about things that have happened to me. I want true friends 999 Juice Wrld he was a legend no one will forget about him 👆
  • @hectorcorona3814
    Juice and X in my opinion is the best artist in this generation a lot of ppl only say they make sad songs and yes but both had different styles and different vibes to music but Juice really helped me get past my addiction and depression listen to his music makes me feel in my comfort zone
  • @thesendies7173
    Doubt you’ll see this late comment, but now married and have my first kid on the way. And you have fully helped me realize the pain im causing myself and others with drug use. Have been drug free ( still alcohol here and there but working on that too) for over 4 months now. It’s fucking hard but making ends meet and overall feeling better other than the occasional moments I crave it and have to fight through.
  • @GrimFom34
    Can you please do Wishing Well next? It’s my favorite Juice song
  • @eveklue5287
    Juice Wrld Is a reminder too Our society our age not too do drugs, and stay happy. Yes his songs are sometimes deppresing and sad, but think it as something too let you know not too go threw the pathway juice wrld did.
  • @orpsae
    Thank you for everything you do, and I hope the people you're helping through things get better.
