[kreativesource]

why does this remind me of ludacris

[MikeCityTv]

He's mockin Ludacris lmfao!

[DreBarks]

Sad truth y'all

[hardyharharhar18]

Bro, you so full of BS it almost makes me sick, and you know you are too. Aint nobody "real" anymore except for poets like Sekou and all them. Rap has become a game of one-ups so it impossible to speak true and be successful. Now, I'll admit that some things rappers say is true, but 9 times out of 10 it's just about makin paper, which is done by sellin records, which is done by being the craziest mf out there. It's part of the industry. BTW, everything Sekou said right there is 100% true. Just

[mennyus]

i'll be the the 4000th to say this is spot on pure knowledge man

[samoanagalo]

really dou! so many cliches, but SO much truth! too many bubblegum rappers out there nowadays! we need to get the REAL MC's up on the radio, like KRS-ONE, Talib & Mos, Rakim, the list goes on!

"I dont love these hoewz...I dont trust these hoewz"

[4001982198019]

so true so sad

[DrtyWrm]

This is soooo necessary! Emcees fight to portray reality/ while rappers fabricate fictional calories/ Salaries, that Nickle & Dime their way to nonsense/ Keepin It Real or Cryin Wolf weighs on the conscious/ Dollar Menu raps with Filet Mignon spices/ Downloaded to various portable audio devices/ Nobody buys CDs of these MTV Cribs describers/ While the underground thrives full of MC survivors/ McGyvers of word play never faking the story/ overshadowed by clowns taking ALL the Glory!

[godzgift27]

that was cold!!!

keep it up!

[bobnos]

well done bruh.. got something good to say then say it.

keep it up.. we need more people like this

[coolcaazz]

This is wack, very wack just like most of the so called modern rap mcs-just because he's dissing the fakeness in rap don't make his own spoken word any better. Just because so called poets thrive under the title of spoken word don't make them listenable or poets. If im driving in my car i don't want to hear talkerz trying to be CONSCIOUS. I cannot hear these so called def poets. There are good poets outdeh but they used that low to high questioning style.

[jstmeeh92]

@coolcaazz understand be open minded to the truth

[theyouneek1]

@coolcaazz It all depends on what ur preference is in music, modern rap mcs have no skill half the time to call themselves an MC, like soulja boy , T-pain , just cuz you make words rhyme doesnt make you an MC , half of the stuff heard in radio is what the industry has self made the self image of modern rappers is potraid as what they think everyone will like and wants. there is industry rappers , and rappers in the industry and thats what he was exposing with this poem.

[oldschoolruler]

@coolcaazz ...hittin' a lil' too close to home, eh?? The truth is a bitter pill...LOL

[Necromni]

@coolcaazz okay that's your opinion ...the thing is that Poetry is a art of expressing yourself via words. Modern rap is USUALLY the art of generic shit talkin. Now there are some good rappers that express themselves truthfully like Shing02, Nas, Talib kweli, and Common but then there's people like Soulja boy, Gucci mane and Wocka flocka. But ay my opinion is garbage is garbage

[Cory1243]

@coolcaazz you can say he wack or what ever you like bout you know what he's speaking is true, and that what makes him good and thats what makes him real.

[youngatheartgirl]

@coolcaazz

I disagree. I don't think he's trying to be conscious. It's more like he's just saying how people should be themselves and be honest about their lives. IMO it was very well done, a good mix of humor and truth.

[younginspiration1]

@coolcaazz umm poetry is not about the tone of there voice it's about expressing yourself the way you feel

[kinduvabigdeal]

@DrtyWrm One of the few online keystyles worth reading.

[TheEditor80]

@DrtyWrm haha aye nice!

[tuculosacallama1]

DOPE DOPE DOPE DOPE

emcees vs rappers

[r0flz0rs]

absolutely amazing ;p

[ConsciousMaster]

Lol this is on point.

[fighter58693]

big breastesssss

[keitheein]

This is real shit. We have made music what it is today by contributing to their success. Their is no truth or reality in what they say. We should break the mold....

[AWakeWoman155]

Nice, nice, nice.

[bboysmylez]

"ill kill your turtle!"

[Menards2]

lmfao i had to rewind cuz i was laughing so hard i didnt know what he said after that

[MasterGiffica25]

after the kids thing, he said "then spit some cliched bullshit like 'that's just how it is'"

[hrabnaz]

"the mc, is the one who wispers the truth and the rapper, is the one who holla the lies"

nice words!

[Neisipie]

i'm so rich i got my own prison for ppl who steal my shi...dat was dope!

[MasterGiffica25]

booyaahcah!!buck buck!!!!!!!!!

[ripmeast21]

If he spit that shit on a Swizz Beatz instrumental, he would be platinum-selling; yet Immortal Technique would still be unheard of by "hip-hop" fans. This was great, this guy is very smart and entertaining.

[jizzy2sexi]

Swizz beats is rap homie don't get it twisted Immortal technique is "hip hop" and lets face it majority of people don't want to hear like some1 is preaching to them their used to that dumbed down shyt

[AgentX528hz]

Sekou the Misfit killed it. That was supernove.

[wikkedchik90]

omg....my turtle

[Dukeofyork123]

WOW That was freaking awesome Im going to go to def poetry jam one day who is with me.

[twinklestar76]

im all with you on that.

these people are amazing(:

[visibleroots]

Sekou,

If you are reading this, thank you. My 16 y/o son introduced me to this performance. He was so impressed that someone had hit the nail on the head with what he knew he dislikes about some rap. You've influenced him greatly and I appreciate that.

[TexArcher]

Holy shit, that is so great.

[lolface524]

cars

money

hoes

dont mean shit..

Sekou spittin the truth

[broootalturjo]

He's DA SHIT!!!

[shazz4life]

i will kill yo turtle hahahahah.big up man he speaks the truth.

[mdimitrova1]

great poem, which left me in stitches a couple of times. The topic is nothing new, which is cool, because it's an important topic... but this one actually left me laughing out loud.

[sultrysound]

i love him!

[malaboy88]

i'll kill your turtle!...lol

[Mykins24]

this video is the real deal. all true. people say everything that isnt true just to seem like a bad ass.

[GHANAGRLnani]

this was stupid funny but he was def speakin some real shit...i wrote paper on this exact topic last semester..wish i would've found this then to add to my research paper

[shadeybrother]

amen brother...you spoke the truth! You one sharp beother

[apcruzvideos]

Superb performance and poem.

[leeocious]

exactly!!

[soulja1991]

It's funny and it's DEAD REAL.

[salvarican007]

dats the truth right there for all those fake ass niggas out there...MESSAGE! LOL...

[lightbright900]

n thatz watz up

[speshulgurlee]

lol. but a jail for all these fools who steal my shit. nice.

[LyriccallyRasTaFari]

The audience really wasn't suppose to laugh when he said truth is "I'm Scared" his intentions were to prove a valid point

[LyriccallyRasTaFari]

I really admire this poet for putting out there what people do everyday. People put on several facades to make it appear that they are something that they actually are not! Its very unhealthy because imitation equals suicide. Be You or Die! If you don't really have it don't try to flaunt it.

[renosdiamond]

Oh, I remember this one well b/c it kept me laughing.

[0NubianDelight0]

He spoke on it..like no other...People need to stop proclaiming things they do not possess and stop hollering obscenties that they no damn well they really dont mean..but because its an attention grabber it looks good..the things we do for publicity, fame, and fortune...Hip Hop is dead because the artist are...

[lilmama05pimp]

LMAO @ "I'll kill ur Turtle"

but it was the truth, most shit rappas talk about dont be the truth

[jennex]

@mig11280 it is funny cuz it is the truth and we are blinded by the lies of this poster rappers that we forgot reality and the values that we should live by.

[sjkaye]

Thsi is so true and funnt. I love how he put his whole self in the performance!

[amlissa]

Truth.

[YoungMe313]

omg .. that was cold

as fuck ..

[lukylie]

i love this its the best......... most truth ever told.

[NevenZor]

Awesome.

[jarl11]

nice nice nice.....

[eklipst2x]

amazing performance... simply amazing

[mimis122]

awesome!!

[UptownVeteran12]

lmao that was great.

"I'll buy a whole I-Hop just to eat two breakfasts" xD

[mig11280]

i dont get that. Why is that funny?

[r4tmfan]

mig, Its funny because its true.

Rappers buy a bunch of shit they dont need, just so they can say they have it

[pimphofoo]

all rich people do that, do rich white people really need yachts?

[r4tmfan]

of course rich people need yachts!

lol but rappers aren't really rich though. Their producer pays for most of their stuff so that they can look "marketable." Unless the rappers have fashion lines/their own record label/vitamin water, they dont make as much as they say they do.

[jinx2035]

lol...he remoind me of ludacris...right on brother...right on

[JNickS33]

straight dopeness.

[Gymae]

i this is the level that i need to aspire two

[Ladyweezy15]

no not my turtle. ccol beans n kudos 2 him!

[FATBLACKBUNNY]

I LOVE IT...TIGHT

[r4tmfan]

I hate how people always clap at the wrong times

[crimson35124]

how the fuck do u know if its the end of the poem?

[hiphopjunkie1983]

there not claping cause they think its the end of the poem.........they clap cause they hear a dope line....usually something thats real profound, funny, or sumthing that really makes u think......small slams or small open mics they jus snap they fingers.......but big stuff like this they clap n cheer...

[Jirbon]

righteousness...he said "i'll kill ur turtle" lol.
