WHAT R U FIGHTING 4???

[yeahokyep]

how does this only have 72,000 views?

[O4real7]

He sounds like Joel Ortiz!!

[laydeiisho]

Among an army of red and blue, isn't he referring to the Bloods (Red Gang) and the Crips (Blue Gang)? Some people clearly failed English in school, this poem has NOTHING to do with race. He speaks with true wisdom open your minds and stop trying to defile the truth that is Gemini

[marcmody]

AMAZING. I say, make this the NATIONAL ANTHEM!!!!!!!!!!

[leurseng]

That was some deep stuff man and very true.

[1MUNDLE]

damn damn damn, freaking amazing

[xupcak3]

i love it he speaks the turth

[ReinaMantanza]

First of all this problem is universal and second he does not mention a thing about race. The fact that you took it to heart to mean blacks is glaring proof that black on black crime is the most prominent  and the most ridiculous. Our president is black now its just the black communities fault for what we tolerate and allow to happen.

[whitefang6969]

my president is white.

[NewsSocial]

@ReinaMantanza You are blind! Are you denying the hudnreds of Asian, Hispanic, and White gangs?? This has nothing to do with race. This is about poverty, frustration, injustice not race.

[ReinaMantanza]

@NewsSocial no I am not and I fail to see you point ? as I stated the poem itself was not about a particular race and as I also stated the problem is universal however what I was pointing out as I will state again that our jails instead of our classrooms are disproportionately filled with African Americans and Latino Americans and this is a fact that can not be denied. Speaking from experience in this life, I beg to differ poverty and frustration are not excuses k-12 education is free you can

[ReinaMantanza]

@NewsSocial still put in work and pick up a book. Gang life is nothing to be hailed or idolized I have lived it and mentor kids of all races and creeds to get out of it. There is a pride you feel yes, you might still fly your colors yes, but if you cant do both safely make bread legally and be successful then manitos its not worth it. College is not for everyone that is a given that's why there is trade school. But most kids dont think that far. Simple question we pose to everyone that comes

[ReinaMantanza]

@NewsSocial thru our doors What is ur life worth?

[getanoxygentank]

he didn't mention anything about race in his poem.

[a1q2s3]

"This wigga" as you characterize is very wise and vocally powerful, this poem is real and you should recognize that.

[xxmsp91]

His names spelled "Gemini"

[gemineye611]

actually it is spelled "Gemineye"

[DrFrann]

Standing O to Gemineye!

Fulla heart, so fulla heart..

[always424]

My brother is setting up in a cell over bullshit like this for the next ten years...

HIs baby is eight right now and he now looks at it from her eyes... He just lost her childhood... Next he'll loose his life...

GEMINEYE thank you...

Thank you

[foxycat90210]

[Anysound89]

[foxycat90210]

[Optimusnikki]

i love this video!

[bobbleheadruler14]

wow this honestly put tears in my eyes thats how strong it was. props man

[josette54]

great words with a great message...

[wishingmarlo]

What does THAT have to do with anything?

[PRpride777]

A gangster is just someone who makes money while being a criminal, that doesnt make you hard. Anyone can pick up a gun, join a gang, and kill people. Why do people idolize gangsters now? cuz they can kill? well let a gangster come into my house and try to kill my family, and we'll see what the fuck happens

[pkiddin]

fuuuck.....all these young wannabe thugs need to hear this right here.....that some real talk.....well spoken

[l0velipS]

soo true

[pinksatin718]

I love every word that comes out your mouth

[cyrilzero]

the only concrete block you own is your tombstone. FFFFUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!!

[DumblyBrilliant]

Some of the most sense I have heard on You Tube for a long time. Now searcg for Bull Busters Violent Women and hear some more truth and get to work to stop ALL violence and not just the violence of men.

[goodjudgement]

That poem was serious. more people like him need to reach the youths of today, to knock some sense into some of the sheep that follow a path into a life of wrong.

[2ylite808]

solid

[Tycoon15]

VERY GOOD

[bapyou]

(.....cont) further quran777: I once lived in a black neighborhood in New Orleans and played in a band wherein I was the only white dude. I never acted black with my friends in N.O. They would have seen the fraud immediately.

[quran777]

bapyou, if what you wrote is true then you still haven't learned anything from being around black ppl. If so, you would know that all black ppl do not ACT the same, so there is no ACTIN BLACK nor ACTIN WHITE. White ppl speaking slang and wearing hip hop type gear doesn't mean that he's acting black, that's just HIS style. What YOU are doing sir is STEREOTYPING ppl of different races. Get ya mind right before responding to me.

[comixgod50]

WHOOOUUU! GO QURAN777! oh and the vid was good too. ahee.

[quran777]

That was hot an so true..! He's more of a brotha than most brothaz are in the sense that he's asking a valid question which most gang members can't answer rationaly..

[moonlitesymphony]

Now if only we could learn to use own language.

[bapyou]

I'm sorry, I'm white. I can't get past the fact that this guy is actin' black. It's embarrassing. I can't watch this for one minute. Judging by the comments on this post, it must be a good poem. But it's just embarrasing to watch.

[jaiZwifey320]

stop living in black and white worlds...it's ONE HUMAN RACE if this is how tha man is then let him be..how do yu get embarassed by other's aktions especially somebody yu don't know..i'm really sikk of hearin blakk and white shit on komments WHEN tha hell are we gonna just let everybody blur together

[bapyou]

Man, he's just acting black. He looks silly. I'm sorry. Like I said: From all of the comments on this post, it is probably a good poem; and, in all likelihood, I probably agree with the sentiments he expresses in the poem. But, as I wrote, I think he looks goofy acting black, that's all. You can't deny that, in America, there are distinct characteristics belonging to both white people and black people.

[jaiZwifey320]

no i will agree wif yu on thaa..but i wish thaa we kould all just be how we feel wifout havin to karry tha stereotype over ourheads (ie) wigger gangsta chink prarie dog spic all thaa shit kome oni mean yeah i'm glad there's so many flavors in tha mixin pot but wat pisses me off is thaa tha mixin pot needs to be stirred instead of lookin at each individual ingredient..ya dig

[bapyou]

I have, and have had, friends of all races. I never try to "act black" with a black friend. And yes: "acting black" is a sort of stereotype. Persons are socialized by other persons and this is how traits are passed within a culture. I look at persons individually. Now, if I were to meet this poet, I may find him to be a very intelligent man. But if he "acts black" as he is in this video, I'll still think that he's kind of goofy.

[twilighteyez]

You're racist and don't even know it...........What a joker.

[bapyou]

How so? Explain.

[love87aries]

Now he never mentioned, not a one time, a particular race.

[quran777]

bapyou, there is no ACTIN BLACK.. Your social interactions of self expression does not dictate your race, creed, ethnicity, or culture.. I'm of African decent, that doesn't mean I shouldn't shop at the GAP. Learn about other cultures before you judge that man for his life experiences..

[bapyou]

Well, shoot, quran7777. Richard Pryor made an entire career out of his perceptions of the differences between 'acting white' and 'acting black'. You are being disingenuous. Maybe some of his work is availble here on YouTube? Worth revisiting if it is. And, although I'm white, I know a fair amount about Black America. Read Autobiog. Malcolm X; Roots; Langston Hughes; James Baldwin, etc. & not because I took a class; purely out of self-interest. cont.....

[quran777]

Richard Pryor made preceptions of the differences between races, not the preception of 'acting white' and 'acting black'. And as far as me being "disingenuous", bapyou I am very sincere in my statements.. You are coming from an ignorant perspective, and I'll chanllenge ANY of your 'so-called black friends' if they support your ignorant point of view.. Your reasoning is biased and weak.

[bapyou]

I agree: all black people do not act the same. And acting black and acting white <i>are</i> stereotypes. This guy, to me, is acting like the stereotype; as a white person, I feel embarassed; don't ask me why, I can't articulate my embarassment in words. Richard Pryor's use of the stereotypes was a big part of his humor. He always had his "white" voice that he used to great comic effect, you know, the nerdy guy carrying a slide rule who over-analyzes/over-thinks everything! *LoL*

[MAZ1N00]

haha Richard Pryor was a comic not a professor That has nothing to do with anything.

[wendyling12]

ok..true, but if the government doesn't offer better education and security in the ghettos (which it can, but doesnt cuz it would cost too much money), gangs will always exist. children are basically blank slates.

[jaelondie]

I have no words/metaphors or symbolism to describe how much i appreciate and love this poetry!!

[illegal1]

Brilliant. Just beautiful.

[reesebaby1]

nice nice  an dat stuff is hecka true

[ReinaMantanza]

[extra0RDiNARY]

[belovedmakesmusic]
