  • Wow, whilst listening to this guy who makes brilliantly uplifting music, people are arguing about goyim,saved or unsaved Jews/Christians. This dogmatic stuff is the exact thing that is going to separate us as a Human Family. When are we going to realize that there is ONE God/Creator, no matter to whom you pray? IMHO, religion like everything else has to evolve. Imagine if we all came together, what might grow out of that in Beauty and Peace. Perhaps that is the message of salvation we all need.

  • yahoo. lol . yaHOO. matisyahU.

  • mahhoooo. haha maHOOO. jeese

  • the torah teaches blasphemy and hatred towards Christians so I know this is not aman of peace.

  • @dragszes the torah was writen before jesus!! and cristians also have the torah has sacrated books, but call it bible

  • @dragszes

    i apologize i meant to say the talmud.There is only one bible and it teaches the word of God.

  • @dragszes The Jewish people ARE God's chosen people. We as Christians should recognize that fact, and in return love the Jew. God did say to Abram, "I will bless those who bless you,

    and whoever curses you I will curse" (Genesis 12:3)

  • @VL1016 first off in the earlier Bibles it never refers to jews because there was no such word.isrealite judean yes.only a fool believes these people are the chosen.Firstly didnt God say all men are created equal?secondly "John 7:1, "After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for He would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill Him." Thirdly ' them which say they are jews but are the synagogue of satan'The only way to God is through Christ and the jews dispise him.so no thanks

  • @dragszes You are completely misunderstanding my comment. I am not proclaiming that the Jewish people are a saved people, but still a people of sin. However, throughout the Bible, the God of Abraham, who also exists as the Son, Jesus Christ, expresses His commitment to the literal Israel (the nation of Jacob, comprised of the Jewish people). In fact, God exclaims many prophecies pertaining to His beloved nation, the nation that He will eventually rule over during the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

  • @VL1016  "The Jewish Almanac concurs: "Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a "Jew." Or to call a contemporary Jew [an] "Israelite," or a "Hebrew." The first Hebrews were not have been Jews at all, and contemporary Palestinians, by their own definition of the term "Palestinian," have to include Jews among their own people" (The Jewish Almanac, October, 1980, page 3, Bantam Books, Inc)."

  • @dragszes Obviously,"Jewish genetics"have been mixed together over the ages, as they've been dispersed around the nations, & people "became Jews", but there is still a pure blood running through the mess(Read up on the The Cohanim Gene) Plus, meditate on scripture. It's amazing how many prophecies have come to pass. Truly, what's wisdom apart from God. That said, I'm ending my argument. But I just want to say that I respect you and i love you as a brother in Christ. I hope for the best man!

  • @VL1016 amen.

  • @VL1016 leave christ out of it dude....the goyim and their idols!..ppfffttt

  • @Cypressmoon72 just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so was Christ lifted up...Without this "idol of the goyim", the jew will never be cleansed of his sin. Because you do not listen to His words, the Lord will call you to account...Read your torah bro and search Messiah.

  • @dragszes How can the torah teach hatred of a people that didnt exist when it was written.

  • matisyaHU!! hahahahhahahahaa 

  • Racist.

  • Justin Bieber: God sent me.

    Matisyahu: I didn't send anyone

    :D:D

  • I thought matisyahu was an Amish person that became a musician now Ik I was wrong

  • This guy really caught me off guard at first. First time hearing his music you could HANDS DOWN assume that he's of an African or Jamaican decent but than to see the video and it's a Jewish guy... WOW! like I don't mean it in a bad way at all. Just something you wouldn't expect!!

  • youtube.com/watch?v=QCml4NPvDO­I check it out

  • comb yo beard i dont wanna hear that shit...

  • @BennyHarassi so why watch the video if you dont want to hear it....idiot!

  • i thought it was a novelty act, then i thought it was ok (his stage was 4 inches high :), then i met him and i thought he was rude n stuck up.

  • jUDYISM?

  • I love the way he says Mattisyahu- it sounds so funny

  • wishtogod.co.nr

  • im agnostic and don't really care for/believe in any religion, but i believe in people, and i believe that matisyahu is a truly good person who writes pretty good and very inspiring music and thats all there really is to it

  • @mycrackersrgone

    so in your humble opinion Matis-YAHU, is liar when he say he's religious a believer in HASHEM, because you don't believe in G-D

  • the Kabala??? really!

  • what a bunch of shit

  • i hate when people think he is a novelty its kinda racist

    he is a musician

  • @ReadMyCommentBitch *THANK* you.

  • tast

  • i love thee jewsssss

  • GOOOO MATISYAHU!!!

  • on my bday <3 march 9th.

  • haters!

  • koss amakkk

  • Youth gone good.

  • "omfg he's pronouncing his name wrong omg religions shoul go kill each other" people who say these are the relics or children of relics don't bother them...painfully toough but we're reaching a new era.

  • @MisuOfArabonaClan thats just what your taught in school mate beleive it or not god exists

  • this is probably what jesus looked like!

  • passive aggression...

  • I hate these fucking commericals on youtube now

  • matiyaHOO?? judEEism??

    haha what

    matisyahu is dope and it's sick that he has a song called Shalom/Salaam fuck interreligious animosity

  • he is rly articulate.

  • love him sooo much

  • its not  maddisyaHU asswad! god, you almost give this guy a bad name!

  • to all you anti-Semites..... I pray for you to find peace. It must take a lot of energy keeping all that hate brewing up. Read the scripture, and yeah im talking the bible. You will find that Jesus himself was a Jew :) king of the Jews if you will. And God, our father teaches only love for all humans and animals. It could really free your soul, take a gander before you preach your ignorance and propaganda. WE ARE ALL GODS PEOPLE PRAISE HIM

  • @deraj1986 OK OK!

  • 2.87 . And verily We gave unto Moses the Scripture and We caused a train of messengers to follow after him , and We gave unto Jesus , son of Mary , clear proofs ( of Allah ' s sovereignty ) , and We supported him with the holy Spirit is it ever so , that , when there cometh unto you a messenger ( from Allah ) with that which ye yourselves desire not , ye grow arrogant , and some ye disbelieve and some ye slay?

  • Well I can mark this off the list of things I never thought I would see--an Reggae rapping Hasidic Jew.

  • @friz5555 Browsing your favorites I notice a lot of Jewish artists or artists of Jewish heritage that you enjoy. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt if you'd relax a bit. Judaism is a religion, and people of Jewish faith or heritage are not out to "destroy the world".

  • @aragorn9228

    Actually there are,but the reason of my appreciate for him is that music makes people happy,and he sing about positivity and love between people,thats what makes him special.

  • jew

  • BUUENIIIISIIMOO SOY DE ARGENTINA

  • @queskribes hahaha omggg sooo irritating bc hes pronouncing his name wrong.

  • @queskribes wat do u mean?

  • @kimkim543 he's pronouncing his name wrong...

  • @queskribes lol i almost punched the screen, what a jackass!

  • @queskribes How the heck do you say it if you don't say 'hu' at the end?

  • @Nonvivant he just puts a ton of emphasis on the 'hu' part. makes it...distracting lol

  • @queskribes u crack me up!

    

  • Can you stop copying and pasting that stupid, soap-box diatribe?

    Every damn Matisyahu video I watch has your far-left stamp stinking it up.

    Have you ever been to Israel? Do you not realize that Arabs and Jews both refer to themselves as Israelites?

    No, I don't think you know that. Why? You want to think that horrible divides exist everywhere. You say you cite all your info from Human Rights organizations, but who makes up those groups?

    Ever consider that a lot of people hate Jews and Israel?

  • Have you ever considered that the UN has a generally low opinion of Israel, and the Arabic nations that carry weight in the UN are subject to extreme bias against Israel?

    By the way, nice job acting as His Master's (Jimmy Carter) Voice with the whole Apartheid reference.

    If you ever set foot in Israel, you'd realize that it's as far from apartheid as you can get.

    The entire country isn't a damn war-zone!

    Oh, and I'd love to hear you try and condemn suicide bombings on buses and cafes.

  • bro im from israel and u r so right but i dont think that this is the place to publish this kind of announcement ... i dont think that you should listn to this guy cause he is jewish and stuff ... i love and listen to him because of his music... what im saying is that dont bring politics into music :)

  • @maorgigleba music is mostly about some sort of politic

  • Did you really just ask that question? Mathew Paul Miller is an American Hasidic Jewish Raggae musician. The beard is traditional for Jewish people. ha damn.

  • in my opinion HE sings much much raggae Than the ones where the raggae come from :)

    strange.

  • Dude what's with the beard?

  • what's with the non-beard, LOL, ha ha. To each his/her own.

  • He is an Orthodox Jew

  • The music is important and it is great, who cares if he adheres to Judaism. I personally don't adhere to any religion, i think it is all nonsense. I'm here fpor da music

  • Don't act like you've never seen something like Matisyahu before. Reggae's a religious genre. Bob Marley, Matisyahu's biggest influence, was a devout Rastafarian and incorporated his religion in almost all his songs. They didn't call him "The Lion of Zion" for nothing.

  • @Hyenashowl:

    it is impossible to discuss because there is a religion (judaism), a nation (israel), and the peoples (the jews) and this terms are mixed together in order to avoid a suitable discussion.

    and do not forget the zionists - they are either a nation nor a religion nor they are the people - they could even be christians and muslims too. i do not mix things together, i am just critisizing extremistic understanding of religion nothing more.

  • well sorry to announce u but u don't know that much judaism is both nationality and religioun

  • Well, sorry to announce Judaism is a religion. The "-ism" lets one know it is a religion, i.e. Hindu-ism, Catholic-ism, Buddh-ism (see a pattern?). Jewishness is an ethnicity. And the nationality is Israeli. Sorry to announce you are not qualified to correct anyone, and therefore should not.

  • you dumass. isrealites are from isreal.

  • you are wrong! israelites are jewish in other countries.Israelians call those that they live in israel.

  • touché :p

  • Shawnferd, you are correct in saying it is a religion, but you are incorrect about it not being a nationality too. As an orthodox Jew, I can tell you that it is actually both. The "Jewish people" and the "nation of Israel" are one and the same. It's true there is now a modern state of Israel and so not all Jews are "Israelis" (yet). But all through the scriptures the Jewish people are called the "nation of Israel". This is because Jews are descendants of "Jacob" who was also called Israel

  • This is actually a more complex question than you give it credit shawnferd. As a student of Jewish and Holocaust studies here at University I've found hundreds of essays and books debating this very question. That you should try and answer it via the -ism- shows a great deal of ignorance and failure to understand the subject matter which you are so quick to comment on.

  • although it may not glorify him.

  • well, to say be ye not like the world..I mean thats a very encompassing statement I mean there's alot of instruments the world uses that are 'heavier' sounding does that mean the use of an electric guitar or bass is wrong?..I don't know..I personally am a Christian I play in a band and we are not a Christian band but I write songs and lyrics which I feel glorify God..I think music should be judged more on the content than the style...I mean I believe all music comes from God ultimately.

  • Truth. There's no evidence for the idea that only 'specific' music is holy or that only 'christian' music glorifies G*d. In all the 613 commandments of the Torah (there are more than just the original 10), nothing is said about music. Furthermore you won't find it in the New Testament either. As a believer in Way if you can't make the argument via the scriptures than you can't make it and you're simply trying to control people, like the pharisees of Yeshua's day.

  • I would also like to remind the christian who says jews don't approve of jewish raggae/hip hop...well as a christian I'm sure you're aware that Rock N' Roll was in the 1950's and early 60's music from the devil and preachers where steam-rolling thousands of chubby checker and chuck berry albums...the fact of the matter is that music is now considered tame and as people's minds open nothing is off limits...I think any religious man would be hard pressed to say god didn't like music.remember david

  • I'm not saying rock is good either. God does like music..."be ye not like the world" that's what i mean. If the world plays this music than i we as chosen people have to be different don't we?

  • ok, get most teens to listen to your perception christian music and see how long they listen. Most teens go away from the church because of people like you.

  • maan....his music is sooo controversial, 1st of all, it's Reggea. ahah it's not a "Godly" style of music because of the way it originated but man...the lyrics are AMAZING. And i don't doubt he's a sincere man, I seriously don't know if his music is righteous or not but it's amazing.

  • What do you mean it's "not a Godly style of music because of the way it originated". Care to elaborate?

  • Well reggea and rap were genres of music that were not originally made to worship God but to promote singers and artists like "Eminem (Rap) or Bob Marley (reggae) that both do not live righteous lives. Those are just examples.

  • I'm not intending to patronise you, but rarely does any musical form develop out of a desire to achieve fame. Rap developed out of a fusion of West African styles within the black slave community of America (often Christians) present in the early 20th century. Precursors to rap were in the form of spoken poetry and folk tales accompanied by the beat of a drum, and as Jazz, Blues and Rock grew in popularity, this style of vocal delivery progressed, became refined and more complex.

  • Oh, I don't wish to omit the role of the MC (Master of Ceremonies) who often introduced the artists or DJs at parties within the black community of America during the late 20th century. These MC's introductions became more elaborate over time, often rhyming or extending beyond mere introductions and including references to life, notable people, other parties and jokes. This is not to correct the prior declarative regarding the West African influence, as it was present.

  • ok that may be true, but ask a Jewish rabbi if God approves of that music, what do you think they would say. I myself am not Jewish. I'm a Christian but yet I greatly respect the position of a rabbi.

  • I wouldn't ask a Jewish Rabbi because in all likelihood they wouldn't know enough about either forms of music to provide reliable judgements. I understand the reasons for your prejudice against Hip-Hop though: Modern mainstream examples tend to consist of lines promoting drugs, promiscuity, gang violence or the concept that the acquisition of money is the ultimate pursuit. I've always associated Reggae with both peace and Rastafari, so not sure where you gained your negative view regarding it?

  • A rabbi of which denomination?

    When Reform/Conservative Jews are in temple at services, there are song leaders who sing the prayers, there are songleaders that create their own religious songs to sing at services, isn't Matisyahu doing the same thing? He's simply using music to express himself and bring forth a message of peace. stop worrying. Idk about orthodox rabbis, but i usually disagree with them anyway.

  • it might be true what you are saying but hasn't the "world" managed to make those music styles theirs?

  • I would advise you, though, to make a distinction between the genres themselves, and the sub-cultures surrounding them. Just as Matisyahu is not a member of a violent gang, and does not promote the casual consumption of narcotics, promiscuity or a purely capitalist mentality, neither do so many other artists producing both Hip-Hop and Reggae. If you overcome this pejorative generalisation, you may allow yourself to witness some truly inspirational music :)

  • thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind.

  • he's not even a zionist..

  • Reggae is essentially a slowed down form of Ska, itself a genre formed by the fusion of Calypso and Caribbean Mento (Folk music). Many prominent Reggae artists are/were Rastafari (An Abrahamic religion worshipping Jah (God) and believing in Jesus as the incarnation of God on earth) including Bob Marley. So these musical styles don't emerge because of a desire to gain promotion and success, and many Hip-Hop and Reggae artists express their religious devotion via their music.

  • good grief...he might as well wear a rag on his head like the ayatollah.

  • i'm not even religious, and i love his music. he is awesome

  • you fat arrogant narcistic american grease munching hillbillys i'm sick of you

    your all fucking inbreds, dont either bother replying to this cause we all know you fuck you sisters, Trust me if i ever come across an american and it even looks at me wrongly i will tear his eyes out and cut out his balls and put his balls in his eye socket.

  • Hi, I argue and make threats on the internet so I am clearly smarter and tougher than anyone else

    I'm American so you can come and tear out my eyes and cut off my balls if you want, but you won't because you're just all talk on an internet video.

  • What an intelligent human being you are. Waking up every single day is the best gift you could give humanity. You're insight and wisdom must be more wide spread, or else we're all doomed. ElliotJohnBigland, thank you so much for finally speaking up! If you ever want to do something more constructive. and beneficial, to society by using your mind, just blow it all over your mommys kitchen wall.

  • don't be so hard on yourself, you're probably not that hideous

  • i know im not. im actually good looking.

  • Most Fat people think that its ok The Cookie Dough has put you in a sugar coma

  • pretty full of your looks.

  • no, its just to make a point here.

  • your all douche bags.......quit arguing over a video and enjoy the music

  • No pun inteded or anything dont get me wrong i love Matisyahu but he sold out

    check out "The Youth" album

    if you dont know what im talking about then please do not reply

  • reggae without pot :D yay I just love his music i know lyrics are very important but i like the sound of his music. he could be singing in another language but the sound is awesome

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Lol, he's all fun and spirit! He's such a great person, and the music he creates only amplifies the good in him.

    Please continue TO ROCK.

  • thats what i say

    listen to the music

  • Shut the fuck up , Listen to the Music . Matisyahu is rapping about Peace , Love , Harmony , and Hope . You people who argue about who is right and who is Wrong completely miss the meaning of this music . Shut up , close your eyes , and listen .

  • it seems his new song "one day" is about peace but much of his lyrics are NOT about peace... read them. theyr'e about fighting for "my religion" as he calls it. i think he intends well but he's only been 'religious' for a little while... he's not so wise. much of his lyrics promote the common 'manifest destiny' of many religions. that's just what i've learned about him from reading his lyrics.

  • Listen and read it again. You may have misinterpretted it.

  • hah. your wishful thinking. i think you may need to look closer yourself. i'd need to hear it from his mouth and i do.. i listen to interviews... don't like what i hear. i know you want to keep it positive. i think he means well, but i can't support him. some good music though.

  • Good for you, now STFU and quit posting if you don't like it.

  • awesome. 1st off. that's just what i was doing... the rest were 'reply's to people like you. 2nd... if this were a random inane band you'd be right about shutting up, but this is a man who represents himself as a voice for a religion and makes socio/political claims, so telling me so STFU because i disagree is a mistake on your part. you don't have to partake but if you're dedicated to truth, don't squash dialog. i know it gets boring at times hahah. regardign M, i had nothing more to say :)

  • Matisyahu is one of the people like bob marley that are or where able to send love, peace and understanding thru good and entretaining music.

    Matis you'r an idol to me keep on with your style. CONGRATULATIONS!

  • yesss, Matisyahu is the 21st century Bob Marley in some way..

  • keep doin what u are doing don't let nobody discourage u . some people don't understand success. also u just trying to reach out to people from your heart no matter what it clearly shows that you are a good person in heart. keep sending your positive message we love you matisyahu!!!!

  • This guy know what its all about. Reggae is about peace, love and understanding, and I think Matisyahu is just what this world needs.. Lets welcome some Arabic reggae artists also. Show the world that its the wrong kind of people that is running it,

  • your an ignorant peace of shit..

  • for real ? are you this dumb or are you really trying to look like a fool ?

    don't comment on songs you don't like, if you want to be a stupid hill billy good for you but don't bother others with it.

  • are you a fucking idiot you ignorant asshole. its douche bags like you that got hung in concentration camps after the nuremburg trials. too bad all of you ignorant pieces of shit couldnt be treated the same way the Jews were during the Holocaust. then you wouldnt think the way you do

  • You are most definitely NOT a Jew. How do I know?

    Too many things to list. It doesn't take much to turn into a bad person. Your venting of negativity will never change good people, because you are so easily distinguishable as one who will never learn. Nor will you ever respect, love, or spread hope.

    We are strong enough to resist your sad ways. Please move along now that it is clear that you have no business here.

  • Please excuse me, this comment was directed at jewishcrimenetwork.

  • really arabs own more petrol and have more money than any naton or race on the planet you are not allowed tto learn about history even martin luther king jr cause of muslim appeasement all protocols actually look more like muslim ones how does it feel someone will erase ya soon look at ya namethats incitement have fun gettin ass raped by ya bredrin in jail ya fuck

  • I am not a Jew, obviously. I actually know that. If I were, I would follow the mitzvot. You are still spreading hate. Please stop. Thank you, goodbye. Keep replying if you please, but nobody will bother paying any mind to you after such a show. Laughable.

  • I am not spreading hate but knowledge. If you hate knowledge then you might think I am spreading hate but you would be wrong.

    use google to find who owns the media, entertainment business, hollywood, banking system, etc.

    Then you might understand what I am talking aboutl.

  • Don't believe everything you hear. "IF ITS ON THE INTERNET IS HAS TO BE TRUE!!!" no it doesnt

  • Looking for a pattern where there isn't one. Thats pure stupidity. There is opportunity all around for anyone. You just can't be a fucking idiot or you won't get anywhere. Which is probably why your so bitter.

  • yeah, yeah, jews control it all, blahblah. Strange that they couldn't prevent the holocaust, eh? I'm not jewish, but I also never met a jew that controls my or anybody elses live except for his own. "what are you, an ignorant or a liar": So there's basically two categories for ppl that disagree with your oppinion? Damn, narrow choice here... I'll go with "I know more than you do, prick", since you must be a redneck, nazi, "I screw my sister" type-o-guy. stay off the net ,dude!

  • wow someone has no life

  • who controls the oil industry ...hmmmm??? who controls Iron ore? who controls I.T technology?? who controls the motor industry?? who controls Uranium mining??...you know the are the most important industry's on earth!!!

    hmm, not really jewish strong hold... but there a fair few Arabs, Asians, Indians, Anglo-Americans in control their... why do you mention any of that?

    come on when you break it down, your theories are pathetically uneducated and down right racist..

  • damn you tore him a new one respect lol

  • i disagree with the jewish religion and its philosophy as well but i fully respect this guy... open up your mind past prejudice and listen to this man's music and its meaning

  • (this is a response to jewishcrimenetwork's comments)

  • i'm totally agree with you

  • priwen how can yasaythat romans killed jesus to appease the jews whatclass of lies were you in as a child whywould romans appease a population they alreadyhadcomplete control over we were not allowed to be jewish ... study ..etc ..by punismaent of prison , torture and death why would
