kevin tweeted: "i didn’t direct dom to throw the camera around. that actually happened and wasn’t planned. he hit ashlan in the face with the camera and almost broke the lens. that’s why i wanted to keep the very end like that when u can see me and some others in shock"
I think the best thing about this video is the irony that Merlyn is the only one not talking being speechless because he’s usually the energetic happy one in the group. Really shows how ameer situation hurt them
Im just thinking like, merlyn is the hypest loudest most talkative member of the group, imagine you upset him so much he's got NOTHING to say. God damn
🗿 is the worst emoji. It's horrendous and ugly. I hate it. The point of emojis is to show emotions, but what emotion does this show? Do you just wake up in the morning and think "wow, I really feel like a massive fucking stone today"? It's useless. I hate it. It just provokes a deep rooted anger within me whenever I see it. I want to drive on over to the fucking emoji headquarters and kill it. If this was the emoji movie I'd push it off a fucking cliff. People just comment 🗿 as if it's funny. It's not. 🗿 deserves to die. He deserves to have his smug little stone face smashed in with a hammer. Oh wow, it's a stone head, how fucking hilarious, I'll use it in every comment I post. NO. STOP IT. It deserves to burn in hell. Why is it so goddamn smug. You're a fucking stone, you have no life goals, you will never accomplish anything in life apart from pissing me off. When you die noone will mourn. I hope you die.
honestly the saddest part of this whole video is merlyn just sitting there in silence. he looks like he's on the verge of tears the whole time it's so gut wrenching
Oh shit it could be that, didn't think about I that way. I just thought since they said they've been taking group therapy sessions that this mv was inspired by that.
I hate to be that guy but from the literal moment they sat down I was like “oh it’s an intervention. Must be for Ameer since the tracks ab him.” I thought that was expressed really obviously lol
someone said that this is the pov of the therapist at their group session and someone else said this was the pov of ameer during the intervention. both theories really say something about merlyn. he seems so outspoken yet so enclosed and locked away. just a thought i had idk
3:07 When Matt was ripping those pieces of paper to shreds, and then proceeds to yell and lash out, I could see so much pain and hurt on his face. This is such a powerful video. :(
I have 2 theories on why Matt was ripping those pieces of paper which I think might be wrong, 1) the piece of papers that matt in the video was shredding is a metaphor for the verses/hooks/bridges that he was going to do on puppy( probably referencing The line in Dom's verse about because of Ameer Puppy and any other projects that they were going to do that year that had him included was scrapped and canceled), but because any future projects with him involved were canceled , you can't hear any of it. 2) it's a metaphor of Matt's heart and memories of him being ripped into pieces and shred to pieces because of Ameer lying an betraying the band. Idk both might be wrong
The part that gets me is that all of this is their friday therapy sessions. Their vulnerability, kevin opening up about so much, joba's chorus and him falling to the ground, matt reading off a paper of his feelings and then ripping it up, merlyn just sitting emotionless, and Dom punching the camera and letting out his anger. When I realized this, I was just speechless, and it's heartbreaking about how hurt they are feeling. These guys are geniuses, and I'm so proud of them. Dearly Departed is my favorite song from Ginger and I was so happy when I heard that this music video was coming out. Thank you Brockhampton.
@@matildebruneel7867 could also be practical thing. Like the shot with a three person couch and two side chairs wouldn't work as well with a sixth person crammed in.
I thought it was weird at first that merlyn was just there, but when shit goes down in a close knit group, sometimes you just got nothing to say. I think his inclusion was meant to show that speechless feeling of the group
@@Brigister And even if they're not right, music can be interpreted in different ways, not just how the creator intended for it to be received. Sometimes its fun to read into it. An artist needs an audience and vice versa. And from that art, someone in the audience will become inspired by it and create something
I feel like the story of this video is mainly revolved around an intervention which represents their feelings of Ameer. Each one of them is a different person in that type of intervention. Kevin seems to be scared to let out his true feelings as that's what he raps about and only wants to show that he still loves Ameer as he gets close to the camera. Joba's mentally drained after he verbally and physically spills out. Matt is of course the person that's given cue cards and trips over his words and rips them up showing his frustration he feels for ameer. And Dom obviously has no remorse for Ameer and can only physical show his anger. Merlyn's presence in the video is clever to me because he's the archetype that has accepted what has happened and has nothing to truly say or project. You could also say the same for how that truly fits as he just doesn't have a verse.
Joaquín Videla watch ginger radio episode 1 on youtube :) or apple music if you have it, but yes, basically just accidentally left behind at a 711 in japan
honestly I am so impressed that they were even able to rap about these things that had such a large impact on their lives. Its something so personal and important they did a great job.
Edit: These were my vague thoughts and interpretations that i had when i first watched the music video so anything i say may not be 100% at all but its just what i captured in my head. Just a thought/interpretation: This video is an intervention of these members confessing negative/traumatic events in their life and we could be looking at the perspective of a therapist, OR most notably, Ameer. At Kevins part, he is upclose to the camera (Ameer) and try to get into his mind of what he did to even get to the position hes in now, along with the other BH members, after Kevin and Ameer being very close friends these years, hes hurt to see this betrayal. At Jobas part, hes simply giving an outcry for why Ameer has not told them his true backstory, his departure and asking why it had to be this way. At Matts part we see that he prepared a notes speaking about the losses he has had in his lifetime and couldnt put up the fact that he had to get through another loss. He then starts breaking down in anger and tears up the notes. While thats happening, Merlyn is seen next to him doing nothing but giving a horrified and broken look, as if seeing this mess grow, he is left speechless and cant speak his words out due to how shocking the situation is. At last we have Dom, who goes on a rant about how furiously pissed he is at Ameer for doing what he did to his friend (set him up for robbery) and has a mental breakdown, while trying to cope by lighting a cig. Dom then goes on to speak on how Ameer tries to clear up his past by looking toward the good things in life and reaching out to God, but it wont erase the fact that he fucked over his once close friend. Hence why you see Dom getting aggressive toward the camera (Ameer). Sorry if this sounded all over the place.
OK Dean / Amiel Blue this is accurate but I’m not sure about doms friend and the robbery, but it sounds like it makes sense. After seeing this video it gives the song way more meaning. Easily the most powerful song on the album and maybe they have ever made
I think that you're right about the intervention, but I'm not sure that this song is entirely about the trauma of ameer. Sure it was traumatic for Kevin and dom, but joba has said his verse was inspired by his grand parents death. Same with matt champion and his grandfather's recent passing.
lol you speculate too much. Joba said it had to do with one of his grandmas who recently died and his other grandma has dementia. Rehear the song with that in mind see how hard it hits you
i think the video is meant to be one of their therapy sessions. their verses are their true feelings but they can’t fully verbalize them (aka when they don’t mouth them) and when they try to just raw emotion comes out. really powerful.
@@haloskaterkid Not it isn't why would dom start punching ameer in the fucking face and why would kevin get all close to him and why would merlyn sit completely still
cheekybananaboy ..? If you’re asking these questions, can you honestly say you’re aware of the group’s current relationship with Ameer due to what occurred in the past?
Yeah same with me dude. People forget how close to Ameer he probably was, with them riding around and talking about their problems after high school and connecting through skate boarding culture and all.
i didn’t understand why joba cried about this video. apparently, i was living under a rock. i googled all the ameer drama, then read through the lyrics once again and watched this video. fucc, i felt the pain.
@@Maria-tl9lw He got kicked out around two years ago for cases of sexual assault and setting Dom’s friend up for a robbery (also why Dom is the most (justifiably) aggressive in the video).
@@isolated.J One example I can remember is when Kevin did a live stream while they were making STUPID. Ameer wrote his verse on a small book and I'm pretty sure he tore up the lyrics and after he recorded the verse for the first time. I think you can find the whole thing here on CZcams if you search "Brockhampton making of stupid"
if you ignore the fact that dom would be beating the group therapist tf up. just from that cold ass stare at the beginning i figured it was from the perspective of ameer.
Lukitno that makes even more sense, I didn’t think of that. I think the way there were sitting reminded me of therapy but with Dom’s part them talking directly to Ameer makes sense.
honestly, seeing merlyn just sitting there motionless speaks absolute volumes. i knew doms verse would fuck me up but watching him take out his frustration and anger on the camera was gut wrenching. my heart goes out to everyone, this album is beautiful and so raw!
I feel like every member has there big moment, for joba it could be his verse on Johnny, for Kevin it could be his opening bars on junky, but if were being real this was Dom’s shinning moment
This might’ve been addressed, but i’m pretty sure you can hear Dom dropping/hitting the mic and walking out after his verse. This song is fucking amazing.
Wow that was really powerful. Everyone always talks about Dom's strong verse here and all due respect to him for that. BUT MATT! Matt was really honest in this verse and he deserves more credit for that.
Dany Espinosa. Truly. Seeing a situation this infuriating, saddening and really just raw like this makes me so emotional despite only being a new listener
jackie if you been here since the jump it’s even sadder. I been here since American boy band and I loved Ameers flow... I can’t imagine reaching such a level of success and having to dump one of your boys by the side. Must hurt so much and that’s why this song has so much weight
@@paulkuhns2175 Yeah I could never imagine what it must be like, a bunch of them went to the same school and knew each other since they were kids didn't they? Either that or I'm misinformed
Idk why but Matt’s verse makes me just as sad as doms verse does. When he says big dog it just reminds me that him and Ameer were friends in high school and really close
they went to hawaii after ameer left so its possibly a reference to the variety of seashells on the beaches they probably visited! "seashells" might be a simple way to refer to their much needed healing time after the whole ameer incident. hope this helps!! (a genius song annotation said something like this so i just wrote down the basic idea haha)
Before he says seashells he also said that he wanted to get out of the mental hell he feels he placed himself into. The whole seashells thing could just be him saying that that’s where he hopes to end up? Because when you think of seashells you think of the beach, and the sun, and the waves and that’s figuratively the type of headspace or mentality that he wants to move onto. A more peaceful one...if that makes sense.
Pop artists don’t normally give you that honesty. Thank you, brockhampton. You guys are beautiful. This is the best music video I have ever seen because of your ability to put everything on the line. I love you all.

Justin Stahmer i thought it sounded like summer but i was like nah im just hearing things. but whats the significance of it though like why did they do that
I don’t think it is, it’s just bearface’s signature guitar style. He plays with a lot of bends and hammer-ons, clipping off notes a lot, and dabbles around the pentatonic scale, playing a lot of the same patterns of notes. It’s kind of cool how he plays with such a recognizable style.
for the people confused by the tone of this video and why merlyn's there. this from my perspective is an open letter to a former member who caused the boys a world of pain. they've used this art form as therapy and i hope they continue to be amazing artists gracefully and forever more. joba you're a real one, your words are breathing life and love. dom your anger is felt, you will recover with time friend. kevin, you allowed my queer soul to flourish, thank you. merlyn, you being you reminds me its okay to be me. to the whole crew, your music and art has lifted me and many others. cheers BH
bro I loved the part where joba screams "i'll break your neck so you can watch your back" and then proceeds to break his neck and watch his back while reciting "i'll break your neck so you can watch your back"
You’re trippin, the only thing brockhampton seriously lacks on is their music videos. They need to invest in better concepts/production to their shit tbh. Music videos are complementary to the songs that the artist puts out

DRinks Inc. nah, he admitted a bunch of it. one thing he admitted too is that he set up dom’s friend to be robbed which is why it’s very powerful on his verse.
@@jackpitman15 The robbery thing was when they were independent and completely unknown but thanks for letting us know you know nothing about what you're talking about
Holy damn that video was transcendent. It's absolutely perfect for the song, it did more than embody it, it added a whole new crazy layer of how they really cope and what kind of struggles they were going through while making Dearly Departed and probably the rest of Ginger. The way they only lipsynced parts, Matt tearing up papers, everyone getting angry, Dom barely performing his intense verse and instead just tensely smoking, it does so much to highlight how the album is STILL a cleaned-up expression of the hard times and negative emotions they were going through. Listening to Dom's anger on the track, the door slam, and then watching this video, the descent into uncontrolled, volatile emotions is incredible
this video wasn’t going to come out because of how vulnerable it makes all of them we should all be supporting them as this is the final part of their recovery, our support
its the 5 stages of grief:
Denial - Kevin
Depression - Joba
Bargaining - Matt
Anger - Dom

The lyrics in this song are pretty sad, this songs underrated
I have 2 theories on why Matt was ripping those pieces of paper which I think might be wrong,
1) the piece of papers that matt in the video was shredding is a metaphor for the verses/hooks/bridges that he was going to do on puppy( probably referencing The line in Dom's verse about because of Ameer Puppy and any other projects that they were going to do that year that had him included was scrapped and canceled), but because any future projects with him involved were canceled , you can't hear any of it.
2) it's a metaphor of Matt's heart and memories of him being ripped into pieces and shred to pieces because of Ameer lying an betraying the band.

I think you can find the whole thing here on CZcams if you search "Brockhampton making of stupid"
You...just made me....think about sad thing...meanie weenie
Video feels like it’s from the perspective of a group therapist. Makes sense given the subject matter.
So the therapist gets fucking smacked by dom?
if you ignore the fact that dom would be beating the group therapist tf up. just from that cold ass stare at the beginning i figured it was from the perspective of ameer.
if it was filmed from the perspective of a group therapist then they just got fucked up by Dom.
Defo think its amears prospective
Lukitno that makes even more sense, I didn’t think of that. I think the way there were sitting reminded me of therapy but with Dom’s part them talking directly to Ameer makes sense.
What if: Ameer wanted to go to heaven
But god said: verse 3(dom mclennon)
Seth Phillips ameer responds back with emmanuel
@@fourthevill4in393 exactly
lmao
then he responds with: emmanuel verse 1 (a mere van)
Hoffa. A mirror van
honestly, seeing merlyn just sitting there motionless speaks absolute volumes. i knew doms verse would fuck me up but watching him take out his frustration and anger on the camera was gut wrenching. my heart goes out to everyone, this album is beautiful and so raw!
I feel like every member has there big moment, for joba it could be his verse on Johnny, for Kevin it could be his opening bars on junky, but if were being real this was Dom’s shinning moment
Dom has big moments on pretty much every song in sat 2. The gummy verse is nearly a minute long.
Yes!! I also love his swamp verse, it's awesome
weight
yaboibeef Doms shining moment for me was Star in the sat trilogy
Doms shining moment will always be milk
Joba stop touching yourself this is a serious video
IM FUCKING CRYIGN
1:48 WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
When he that “WHHHHYYY” he busted
He needs a way to hit those notes
JWANSKASJAJSNAKSSNJSNZNZNSZZ I JUST DIED
Dom:🤚🏿📹
The camera: Woah take it easy man
Plot twist: Merlyn was gonna rap like usual but Dom slapped the living heaven out of the camera
Dom changed the song name to Ameerly Departed after that verse
Matt’s performance was heartbreaking.
This might’ve been addressed, but i’m pretty sure you can hear Dom dropping/hitting the mic and walking out after his verse. This song is fucking amazing.
i noticed that, you can feel the emotion that went into this song
Wow that was really powerful. Everyone always talks about Dom's strong verse here and all due respect to him for that. BUT MATT! Matt was really honest in this verse and he deserves more credit for that.
my heart broke when matt started punching his head
Being in an emotional position where the only thing that you can do is that...shit man, truly heartbreaking.
Dany Espinosa. Truly. Seeing a situation this infuriating, saddening and really just raw like this makes me so emotional despite only being a new listener
fuckin same g, that broke my heart cuh ive been there so many times in my life where all i could do was hit shit
jackie if you been here since the jump it’s even sadder. I been here since American boy band and I loved Ameers flow... I can’t imagine reaching such a level of success and having to dump one of your boys by the side. Must hurt so much and that’s why this song has so much weight
@@paulkuhns2175 Yeah I could never imagine what it must be like, a bunch of them went to the same school and knew each other since they were kids didn't they? Either that or I'm misinformed
Y’all complained about having too many Matt’s face close ups and BH responded by cutting it out completely
not really lmao, boy bye has them
@@nylundd shes talking about in this video only
@@spicycc635 really dont think matt rubbing his face in the camera would be very atmospheric in an ameer rant
hahahah
@@nylundd do you always take jokes seriously?
Merlyn’s face when Dom hit the camera the first time...and knowing that was his genuine reaction since hitting the camera was unscripted... so cool
Idk why but Matt’s verse makes me just as sad as doms verse does. When he says big dog it just reminds me that him and Ameer were friends in high school and really close
pov: dom beating you up and kevin lecturing about seashells in the background
Wow. Didn't expect Bearface to be so good at twerking.
stop with the melon cringe
Fuck u for baiting, i got excited
stfu
When merlyn said 😡. that was deep
the fact that everything in this is real emotion is crazy
Am I the only one that's concerned about seeing Merlyn stay still this long?
somebody hold him before shit gets ugly
They definitely told him if you stand still for the whole video they’ll take him to whataburger
it was like when they did San Marcos live on triple j
Jesus Christ we all gon be in our feelings.
After hearing the back story to this track I appreciate it much more. The hurt, anger, emotions etc. in the lyrics is felt.
Can u explain it to me🥺
i really want to know what “seashells” means. i feel like it’s a word that’s very personal to kevin and ameer.
they went to hawaii after ameer left so its possibly a reference to the variety of seashells on the beaches they probably visited! "seashells" might be a simple way to refer to their much needed healing time after the whole ameer incident. hope this helps!! (a genius song annotation said something like this so i just wrote down the basic idea haha)
before that hes talking about how he has to just make rhymes to live now so it could just be nonsensical on purpose to drive that point home
nikki to add to this aswell Kevin is from a beach town Corpus Christi which is when he met ameer so it can be that too
Before he says seashells he also said that he wanted to get out of the mental hell he feels he placed himself into. The whole seashells thing could just be him saying that that’s where he hopes to end up? Because when you think of seashells you think of the beach, and the sun, and the waves and that’s figuratively the type of headspace or mentality that he wants to move onto. A more peaceful one...if that makes sense.
bro shhhh
The best part of this music video is when it says media offline every two seconds.
4:05
I'm glad they're posting this one at 9 instead of 10 so I can watch it before my bedtime
I feel like dom did to the camera what he wanted to do to ameer, seeing that his whole verse was revolved around him
dom got fucked up on ameers new track lol
@@cdrlofibeats which one?
@@samg4337 glock 19
@@cdrlofibeats if you think glock 19 is more cutting than this verse from dom you are truly on crack.
@@Auswirth If you think your opinion is more valid than anyone else's you are truly on ego, hope that's a joke
Pop artists don’t normally give you that honesty. Thank you, brockhampton. You guys are beautiful. This is the best music video I have ever seen because of your ability to put everything on the line. I love you all.
some of y’all don’t understand the art of simplicity and perspective and it shows

this is one of the best hip-hop songs of all time.
my favourite part was at 0:53 where kevin came out as gay. truly inspiring
Tbh I was kinda surprised 😳 I was realy hoping he'd tell us sooner
😂😂
@Chris76736 quit being a bitch and quit hating
@@hotcheetocereal3464 appreciate not having to make that comment myself
@@hotcheetocereal3464 How could you not tell that was a joke lol
Shoutout Kevin for directing this, truly a man of many talents 🥺💖💖💖
wum they sat in front of a camera literally no skills or talent needed
@@roz3072 dumbass
Why is nobody talking about the fact that the ending riff is from SUMMER
Justin Stahmer i thought it sounded like summer but i was like nah im just hearing things. but whats the significance of it though like why did they do that
Sounded like the one from WASTE too. Could've been unintentional, a lot of Ciarans riffs sound similar.
Damn didn’t even notice but yeah sounds pretty much exactly like it
I don’t think it is, it’s just bearface’s signature guitar style. He plays with a lot of bends and hammer-ons, clipping off notes a lot, and dabbles around the pentatonic scale, playing a lot of the same patterns of notes. It’s kind of cool how he plays with such a recognizable style.
SteadyRhythms it’s confirmed that it is
Nobody talks about how Joba is great. Protect him at all costs please, that's all what I demand.
I liked that part where joba, matt and merlyn squished together in the couch
Martu bonzi they have room too to move over
I like Merlyns robotic strut
loved when merlyn sat from 0:15 to 5:13, favorite part of the video
On some real shit, when kev said "who am i, who am I, why I hide?.." I reallyyyy felt that..
for the people confused by the tone of this video and why merlyn's there. this from my perspective is an open letter to a former member who caused the boys a world of pain.
they've used this art form as therapy and i hope they continue to be amazing artists gracefully and forever more.
joba you're a real one, your words are breathing life and love.
dom your anger is felt, you will recover with time friend.
kevin, you allowed my queer soul to flourish, thank you.
merlyn, you being you reminds me its okay to be me.
to the whole crew, your music and art has lifted me and many others.
cheers BH
you just gonna ignore matt huh
ryann b. And bearface but he isn’t really in this video / prominent in saturation so idk
you gay?
I'm just waiting to scream HOW MANY SIDES TO A STORY
and then just belt out 'MOTHER FUCKER' at the end
bro I loved the part where joba screams "i'll break your neck so you can watch your back" and then proceeds to break his neck and watch his back while reciting "i'll break your neck so you can watch your back"
End of an era
Bearface's guitar outro is so beautiful yet so slept on
Not sure if I’m ready for this.
Everything Kevin directs is some great shit but I just don’t know if I’m ready...
they literally just sit on a couch
You’re trippin, the only thing brockhampton seriously lacks on is their music videos. They need to invest in better concepts/production to their shit tbh. Music videos are complementary to the songs that the artist puts out
Dylan Ramos i get that but at the same time it’s their vision and what it means to them not us
@@auntbecky7649 no lol sitting on a couch isnt artistic ... niether is wrapping ur self in alluminium foil
@@dylanramos2583 no halo and boy bye literally are two of their best mv,just because they made shittier mv like heavens belong to you and this one.doesnt meant theyre lacking completely. Tho im eager to see more professional mv like DIRT
The Thumbnail was Bearface after going through the Potato famine 😭😭😭
SHUT UP
"ha ha he's Irish"
Bro :(
Remember that one time Ireland lost half its population as a result of deliberate policy by the British. Hahahaa so funny
Conal O'Hara It wasn’t as a result of that. It was as a result of potato blight- but the British increased the amount of deaths through bad management. And it was around 25% of the population who died or emigrated to the UK. It was a horrendous event, but check your facts l.
this songs feels like watchin your parents havin a fight
1:43 dom couldn’t resist looking at joba
LOL true
So very powerful.
"How many sides to a story can there be when you saw it with your own eyes?"
Merlyn sitting there breathing heavy. :( We love you guys
i love this but joba’s voice DUDE a literal angel
Dom's lyrics always hit on a different level, also I wonder if it was scripted for Matt to yell out in rage
i honestly don't think it was, the lyrics are about his grandparents dying so i think its pretty raw
I feel like the video is trying to emulate an intervention
Either an intervention or a funeral, the latter is obvious but I like the former too
precisely
It was hard for them to see Ameer go but when they realized who he truly was it hit harder. Dom said it best on his verse
This is the first 16:9 shot in a Brockhampton music video.
Shows how they have evolved, not putting on a filter. Raw emotion
What about 1999 WILDFIRE?
cannon
Notice how Merlyn walked up? This is robot Merlyn. Real Merlyn is chillin in one of his fruity cereal baths while they shoot this.
wow the fact the camera part wasn’t even planned .. makes it so raw
The way shot is it's like they're talking directly to Ameer through the camera...
bruh when they were all sat down in therapy singing the song i was like woah
Damn you were actually right lmao
@@prime_memeister3324 :)
😂😂 wtf
Straight up called it
HOW DID YOU CALL IT OMGGGGFHDBDB
Can we just appreciate Joba and how much emotion he shows in this song
beat the camera to submission
imagine ameer reading all these comments ... DAMNNN
Dear ameer,
Thanks for reading, you dipshit hope you know now the consequences of your actions
Innocent until proven guilty. I think people don’t understand the music industry
DRinks Inc. nah, he admitted a bunch of it. one thing he admitted too is that he set up dom’s friend to be robbed which is why it’s very powerful on his verse.
@@overfinally6638 Nah these guys are in the industry and they ain't robbing eachothers friends.
@@jackpitman15 The robbery thing was when they were independent and completely unknown but thanks for letting us know you know nothing about what you're talking about
Holy damn that video was transcendent. It's absolutely perfect for the song, it did more than embody it, it added a whole new crazy layer of how they really cope and what kind of struggles they were going through while making Dearly Departed and probably the rest of Ginger. The way they only lipsynced parts, Matt tearing up papers, everyone getting angry, Dom barely performing his intense verse and instead just tensely smoking, it does so much to highlight how the album is STILL a cleaned-up expression of the hard times and negative emotions they were going through. Listening to Dom's anger on the track, the door slam, and then watching this video, the descent into uncontrolled, volatile emotions is incredible
this video wasn’t going to come out because of how vulnerable it makes all of them
we should all be supporting them as this is the final part of their recovery, our support
Something I just noticed is how Matt rips up his verse after he finishes which is exactly what ameer did with his lyrics after he finished recording
