Hey guys and girls. I'm a poet from Chicago. I have started a YouTube Channel to help get my work out there. Please take 5 minutes out of your day to check my stuff out. Like. Subscribe. Tweet. I update on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Your support is greatly appreciated!
dammit Pip, you and notch, you clearly have enough money to buy a decent camera to record something for your fans on the fly, but nope the shitty hand cam with a barely functional microphone it is.
Remembering someone after they have passed is beautiful, but praising we need to support those whom are living now that are making a difference. Why should we let someone die thinking they were unknown or unloved, only to praise them after they have died.
I can understand the Tommy C song. It is remembering what beauty is, and was using him as an example of how someone can really put their love to the world up until their last heart beat.
That is so beautiful, my words cannot do it justice.
I found it interesting when I first saw it on Youtube, and love listening to the album. I have both the team album, and 1000 words.
I wish he would release more copies. I know he needs to make a living, and I am willing to do what it takes to support him.
He deserves to make a decent living with such creativity. I'm not saying he needs to live in a mansion, but he deserves to be supported. I believe we should support people while they are still around... not after they have died. It's useless.
I don't know how he does this right out of bed. He must be connected to more dimensions than most of us. He seems to have a very large vocabulary, a strong understanding of the words, and the ability to sort through them at a faster rate than he can speak them, yet he does not stammer as he sorts his words in his cortex.
A blessing or a curse? I don't know. All I know is I want to learn more from him. He speaks truth and opinion simultaneously. Being objective and subjective, while sharing it.
This was awesome. Easily better than what most consider a rap. It just makes me wonder if and when he will live up to his namesake and create a gibberish/nonsensical work.
douche canoe is my new favorite insult, and I'll be sure to wear it out within the coming months. But really, don't be so quick to attack a mono-syllabic comment. It was kinda funny, and the lisp, while the fault of the microphone, was no less distracting from the overall message.
well, in your case, it is not an insult but rather a description of yourself.
first off, my point is why take the time to comment about the "lisp" in the video. when it is oh so minuscule if you were actually listening to what he was saying.
that mono-syllabic comment could have been directed positively rather than as a complaint.
Being an American, my first reaction to this sentence was to double-take. Or perhaps it has something to with the fact that it's presently 4:17 in the morning, who's to say?
we run the world, all we need to do is work together as one but as he said..people can't seem to over come race and nationality there stuck on war, the whole i me mine thing, this makes my job harder, my job is to show the world whats in it's face before it's too late..the end is near but we can change that if we stop thinking about "i me mine" and start thinking about the world we live on and the human race as a whole.
okay seriously i just cant respect anyone who takes a crack at bush anymore youd think you could make a decent comment on society without going over what everyone else has already said a couple hundred times.
i know what you mean i have no respect for people who try to cure cancer, you think they could cure a disease with out doing what people have tried to do a hundred times,...the fact of the matter is that no matter how many times something is said, it renders it no less valid, fire will still be hot, no matter how many times it is talked about. war will always be bad, no matter how many ties its disputed. bush will always be a idiot and a poor leader, no matter how many people take a crack at him
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Oh I'm sorry you feel that way I think it'd be awesome if cancer was cured.. but maybe thats just me.. do you seriously get together with people and talk about how hot fire is? that's pretty freakin tight. When people like you insult Bush it makes me laugh inside. =D
i just now thought that he totally looks and sounds like ali g, but then i thought it must be the british accent :P im not from britain myself so for me it's a mistake easily made.
he's really great though, im a metalhead and im still totally impressed by his work ;)
I've spent the last few hours jumping from video to video. Aimlessly, just looking for something, anything.... I don't know how, but I found myself here. And Jesus H Christ, this is what I was searching for. Ok, granted, it is very late. And yes, I have had a few drinks. But this guy's a genius. Don't know nothing about the guy other than this video but this is quality.
What a legend, just imagine someone like this got half the exposure as all those other mediocre "artists" out there, maybe our generation could actually have a voice. Keep on preachin dude! If you's like this ye have to check out "Letter from God", pure unadulterated genius!
