RY music video for original "WHAT ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO DO" (Ryan McDermott Music)

[SHAQUMSHA]

This is dope music....... very soulful!! Where can i buy this?

[RyanMcDermottMusic]

Wow. Been over a year since we made this...but feels like years. Much love to all who participated- the crew who GAVE their time and the community that WELCOMED me warmly. (No actors in this video.) I really feel the discussion here...that's the whole point- to think and talk AND live a little differently because of it. Didn't grow up in an environment like this, BUT I care about the story of all people everywhere and will continue to live that out in art AND beyond. U with me? o-n-e. RM

I agree, people who hate because Ryan is passionate about this kind of shit are ignorant pieces of shit. Everyone always talks about how white people don't wanna open their eyes or confront societal issues, and when they do, people chastise them for it. If you know Ryan, you'd know how genuinely compassionate he is for inequalities and hardships. he writes on a whim about things that are on his mind, and his words should serve as something beneficial, not something to put down.

I love this this is so true i live in East Palo Alto and right next door is Palo Alto two different worlds! two different borders only five minutes away! EPA is planted with liquor stores and churches. No Super markets just corner stores. We have to go outside out city for all essentials but now the city is being taken over by outside business owners. The last thing the ppl of epa need is an Ikea and a for seasons but it was built and the jobs are being filled also by ppl ouside the city.

[IsaacBauman]

[harryflynt]

dope vid bro.

[Baller4life650]

Fundaygo,

Funny that if you listened to the song you would understand the meaning behind the lyrics and the video. You ignorant bastard. You just make yourself sound stupid. What do you know about his life and what he has been through? Clearly the song is over your head. It's okay

[bdolla42]

Hey whats up Deandre, I met you in the barber shop today,(8/21/09) Leimert Park, I thought the video was real cool, real down to earth.

[fundaygo]

funny how I kid from Palo Alto, CA. A very wealthy place is doing a vid like this...

true soul..? hard to believe. what do you know about poverty, suffering, etc?

you've never done or felt any of these things you sing about..

go back to USC and your playboy life. leave this facade to the side. this is not yourplace boy.

[tatigoz]

He knows because, like he said it's just on the other side. He decided to explore it.. Im from Palo Alto as well! Most People just hear about Palo Alto not East Palo Alto the difference is day and night! Literally! AND it's just on the other side! Take a drive one day down East Palo Alto and then take a drive down Palo Alto and you will see the difference! There's the Liquor Stores and Low budget schools n EPA. The Super Markets and some of the best schools in the US in PA! Know before speaking!

[terrickadotcom]

nice vid! keep up the great work...loved it!!!

[PTRich06]

Very few people understand what true soul is and how to express what needs to be said through rhyme, and you do it oh so well. Keep killin em Ry. To the top. -PR

[raissamk]

i <3 you ryan mcdermott

[IsaacBauman]

DOPE

[roecious]

Great song man!!!!

[Oldscool8]

NIce job Ryan. Awareness and reality collide to bring home the truth. America is in decay. The moral and social fabric of our country is in tatters and people, white people, are in denial. So sad.

[mbagneris]

such a DEEP subject matter and the video captured it perfectly! great job!
