American Terrorist - Lupe Fiasco

[DrAMB320]

Wow. This is a really eye opening song. I've heard it before, but with the dramatic pictures it just left an impact on me. This is the kind of stuff we have been talking about in my history class the last couple of months. Great video and i hope more people see the wisdom of the great Lupe Fiasco

[SmallSoldierRaps]

wish lupe would tell us what american terrorist 2 is. is it words i never said or is he gonna release it later?

[JPSensei07]

american terrorist > american terrorist 3

[zeroman626]

American Terrorist 3 is out (;

[fiascofan34]

Lupe at his best.

[theguythatisbetter]

1:20

T.T

[hippy4mary]

Great song! Wish more musicians made music like this.

[ChrisRocksYourAnus]

i like how he included the asian coolie slave trade

[cyborgninja24]

Now the poor Klu Klux man say that we're all brothers

Not because things are the same because we lack the same color

that's green, now that's mean

Cant burn his cross cause he cant afford the gasoline

These lines are straight-up epic!

[nitro38128]

Brilliant!!!!! 

[jwess7195]

presidential part in the back witch craft stars in blue

[fattygurl07]

i adore this song. some of the lyrics are wrong in this showing, but its koo.

[Finocity111]

Its so sad to see the pics of those families that have been harmed :( No innocent person or their innocent family should have to go through that. @ 1:15 there's a pic there of a video of a father and son caught in a cross fire. What's the name of the video? btw, lyrics are amazing....

[BolnoyBratchny]

this song sucks. rap sucks. listen to psytrance, faggots.

[SoccerPride17]

@BolnoyBratchny you're a fucking retard. you can't even comprehend this song. guarantee you did not understand 80% of this song.

[BolnoyBratchny]

@SoccerPride17

hes stating shit that happened in the past. who gives a fuck? that doesnt change the fact that rap sucks and if you like it you have shit taste in music

[SoccerPride17]

@BolnoyBratchny you learn from the past you fuck. you're so ignorant. and no, not all rap sucks. underground rap where they rap about real world issues is amazing. and I have a shit taste in music? sorry, I like to listen to meaningful lyrics and not just beats that I can make using fucking Garage Band.

[SoccerPride17]

@BolnoyBratchny Who gives a fuck about what happened in the past? You learn from history you ignorant fuck. And no, sorry I don't listen to music that I could make using fucking Garage Band. Mainstream rap isn't good but the underground shit is amazing. Lyrics are harder to make then beats. I could fucking put a bass, a synthesiser, and an 808 clap and I could make trance music, dumb fuck.

[maciejwrotek]

anti war protests music is good sell

[JoKeRsObLiViOn420]

Great video and song. its about time someone uses their voice for the better sake of humanity unlike, lil wayne , lady gag, and some many other trash singers.

[Dzonium]

2:28 boing 747? sadness

[freed0m4life]

what the fuck does lupe fiasco know about the arab israeli conflict? hahaha yeah im sure he studies alot on his spare time.

[Bull3tl]

What I love about this is that hes not rappin about 'bitches' and 'crack' and 'lets get drunk and drive our sick rides'.

He's rapping about a proper topic.

Something important!

[Bull3tl]

What's that picture at the end of the video?

Can someone tell me please?

Brilliant video once again hanaaB!

Keep it up =]!

[hanaaB]

thnx..keep supporting real hiphop. Its the 'eye of providence' or the 'all-seeing eye'....a masonic symbol and hence agenda hiding behind the false image of 'the eye of God'.

[JadeyBabey9108]

It's a dollar bill....duh....it's just zoomed in....read up on free masonery....the picture will make more sense. But as a short explanation, there is a secret behind the dollar bill...there's hidden messages that they won't reveal to the public....have u ever noticed that the dollare bill never changes....yet every year just about they come out with new 5's, 10's, 20's, 50's, 100's....etc. There's so much that the government hides from us it's riduculous. They're the terrorists.

[desiboyh]

@Bull3tl

its the back of the american 1 dollar bill

[jwess7195]

@Bull3tl its the eye of the devil

[bighuc]

mental slaughter,get em champ

[pinkfloydicus]

0:40-0:57 is the truest lyric ever put into a rap song

[reihaank]

One of the GOAT, just wait for a few years. People need to realise just how good this music is.

[Slicedbread09]

this is a realy brillent song and the video excellent made me think even deeper about the song tnx hanaaB YOU THE MAN!!!!

[XxdamsterxX]

so true this guy is the best!!!

[bigrock123]

shit song

[wallace009]

lupe is good but he lacks in the beat department

[hanaaB]

beyond your comprehension....

[reihaank]

So, what do you consider as "good"?

[JadeyBabey9108]

Bigrock123 Well go suck on George Bush's dick then hater and get the fuck off this page! What the fuck is ur problem?! It's not about the beat or how good it sounds ya dip shit it's the meaning behind it. The words. But we all know ur a lil slow so ill give u some extra special time to comprehend what he's saying and catch up to the rest of us.

[noobslayer524]

@bigrock123 u suck

[AngryAsianAce]

Very well made video. Way better than that shitty one that has more views.

[andrigendut]

[MapleSyrupMan101]

I'll be honest, I'm not that into rap music but this is good and true.

[Neptunami]

How do U forgive the murderer of yo father?

[shotcallaking]

I always knew LUPE was the best Rapper alive no offense..... but Fuck Lil wayne.

[XxdamsterxX]

so true

[liamiscool666]

yaa

[primetime9399]

Truest Thing Ive Heard All Day.

[reyto619]

lil wayne is shit everybody makes a big deall of him but lupe is like eminem back in his day

[shotcallaking]

besides Lil wayne's a swagga jacka I dont know why people still like him I mean his albums were aight but compared to lupe he aint shit

[whiteqirl912]

@shotcallaking Lupe's on a whole different level!

[g2gaderade]

@shotcallaking you dont have to say no offense. the truth hurts. lil wayne is a fake ass rapper. he declared himself the best rapper alive. but you have to earn that title.

[amareto35]

This guy is a weopon.He is going to piss a lot of people off.I agree with him 1000000%

god bless Lupe..

[XxdamsterxX]

and god bless u

[Thefreshprince06]

WOW nice video. u should make more for lupe songs

[agoldcoin]

Intense stuff. Excellent work. Great song. The positives go on and on...

[meggykins11]

this video is sweet

[MUSICALsouIchild]

how do you forgive the murderer of your father?

-.-

[sebyo]

this is the first song that I heard Lupe say the N word, song's hella deep.

[Thefreshprince06]

u must not listen to lupe a lot then

[NatsaBes]

he must not.

[TheRockWindow]

To the maker, this truly is one of my favorite videos on all of youtube. Beautiful, profound work.

[hanaaB]

Thank-you for your kind words. I'm really glad u liked it. More importantly, I'm appreciative to the fact that people like yourself can relate to Lupe's lyrics and the concepts presented in my video, as this was my intention.

[casthand]

thanks for puttin the song up bro but some of the lyrics you put up are wrong but who cares

[pivotpaki4life]

bush should go and f himself

[rawmaster514]

he should be trying to end the war in iraq...instead hes out being the life of the party while the rest of ammerica goes to hell...

[ysmm92]

i hate seeing that image at 1:16, that boy died in his fathers arms.

[NocriZle]

Muslims are human too

[beansandpickles]

Great video - I loved the flow you had with the pictures, the transitions were awesome. Overall, awesome video and song. Lupe Fiasco is an amazing lyricist. If there was a video to this song, it'd probably be somewhere along the lines of this.

[JustinRyukyu]

man this make u think, are we fighting a mental war in America,or do we sin because we dont give a damn. God, show me the way...

[DymeNDiamonds]

great job with this vid. i love this song. its so inspirational. heyyy, i really like ur postings. think i will subscribe. chekk out some of my poems especially silver lining, i think u'd like that if u listen to it till the end.

GREAT SONG!! classic songwriting

[hsadman2]

Great video! 5 stars!

[ChangeOhio]

Awesome video!!

[speedlimit666]

russia took chechen  land and we want it back

[TEREK1]

Chechen scum live like animals, its sad they cant control themselves. Russia had to step in, to protect regular citizens because it is Russian land. You want it back, but you cant have it.

[TEREK1]

Chechnya is Russian land. Haha.

[Ruzaini07]

don worry my brothers... chechnya will be independence which is same as kosovo

[pedi007]

Santos + Fiasco= On Fire

[thatjcboy]

Man whatever this dude is saying its still raw.

[xxxdanielcd]

wow i totally agree hanaaB also cool video

[TUNDE88]

[speedlimit666]

[TEREK1]

free Russia of chechen scum

[Ruzaini07]

fuck the russia

[TEREK1]

Fuck the you.

[tham1993]

amazing vid. love lupes music.free palestine

[AhmedM85]

"The Ink of a Scholar is Worth a Thousand Times more than the blood of a Martyr."

A quote from the Prophet Muhammad, I loved how he uses it in this song. The man is a lyrical genius.

[greenandkakashi]

peace to all my Muslim brothers and sisters

[JinsGin]

he says "misinterpretated reasons for warfare"..... what?

[hsadman2]

I think he means that people are misinterpreting their holy books (Torah,Bible,Quran) and starting religious wars because of that.

[crazycar1234]

@hsadman2 no its not that they are misinterpreting it. If u knew anything about the world u would know that these relifions have been fightin for thousands and thousands of years. and in each of their religious books it tell them to kill the other religions.

[greenandkakashi]

he means people have used religion as an excuse for war. imagine something so holy used as an excuse for sch an evil thing

[LemonPie87]

I commend you hannaB this video is very intriguing and i think it is a very accurate interpretation of his song.. the fact that he distinguishes between black man, red man and the ships on which the slaves came it only discusses the continuation of colonialism and imperialism and the illegal occupation of countries and peoples. Also, many of these issues that you expressed here are reflected in many of Lupes other songs... good job!

[hanaaB]

Thnx 4 appreciating my vid, and more importantly appreciating Lupe's lyrics..nice 2 know there are people who truly understand meaningful, intellectual hip-hop as opposed to dismissing issues they can't fathom and hence accept.

[hanaaB]

The 'ammerican terrorist'-meddlesome, murderous actions of a nation's government which stems from an agenda which is wrongfully labelled 'conspiracy'. The hook "The more money that they make, the better it gets" reflects the money made from the unjust robbing of resources from countries via wars in order to create an economic gradient of wealth- which is by the way a tool of the same agenda u call 'conspiracy'. i'm not pushing my own agenda.

[hanaaB]

In your words, 'lets go a step furhter'....y dont u ellaborate on what u interpret Lupe's lyrics to be? Or since crtisim is easier for weak minded people to engage in, y dont you instead pick out any lyric in this song and explain how i may have wrongfully interpreted it... Im intrigued to know....

[SubarcticEar]

there we go...another Jigga Boo....

go read some books and have a haircut and shave lol

[ikawaymaganda]

Is this comment directed at lupe?

If so, Congratulations, You are now made of100% NAACP approved racism.

[hhdr3ams]

nice song.

[adnanyo1]

that symbol at 431 is on the american 100 dollar bill

[ysmm92]

isnt it the 1 dollar bill? with the masonic symbols?

[ramhead40]

amazing intelligent song but this song is pretty dumb reason to use to make republicans look stupid but thats just my opinion

[sh89al]

what's the symbol at exactly 4:31?

[Moiez101]

that's the all seeing eye. it's related to Free Masonry, check it out.

[sh89al]

thanx. what about at 3:52?

[Moiez101]

the goat with the jewish star right? yeh, that's the Masonic Goat. they say that he will eat your heart or something if you do not join them or something like that. im not too sure because i learnd about this a long time ago.

[Moiez101]

[LePrePoLiebe]

[Zilam]

Such a good artist. I don't even consider him hip hop. He is pure poetry.

[d1rrtyharry]

This is hot shit, its real. But gyea props on makin da video too.

[foofoo314]

one of my favorite artists right now. this nigga is da truth.

[johann021090]

Lupe Fiasco is one of the most intellegent and intelectual hip hopers out there! The lyrics in this song reflecs back on that:)

His last cd is the best hip hop cd in a long time:)

True Lupe fan

[Napierbaby1]

FUCK AMERICA THE WORST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD

FUCK BUSH BIGGEST IDIOT IN THE WORLD

USA WANT TO BE SO DEMOCRATIC BUT THEY ARE JUST BIG FUCKS they fucked up so many countries for nothing...FUCK EM

[Shokk1234567]

"fuck" is the best word for getting one's point across. Especially when IT'S WRITTEN LIKE THIS.

[trauma561]

come on.. dont blame the country for the stupidity of Bush. America is a great country which provides opportunity and freedom.

[wheatbread87]

fuck that american have been shitting on people before bush, learn real american history and not american propaganda

[psychorave19]

lol thats funny...i'm not saying america has no faults, america has deeply etched scars, just as every other country; but think about this...where would you rather live? Some ppl will shout out hate toward america and its government, but if someone tried to take them out of the country they'd scream bloody murder and shout that their civil rights were being infringed on. I know my history, do you know yours?

[Tazzy109]

u sir are a dickhead n u need to step back into reality, america aint all what we say its supposed to be. your comment shows that u were'nt really listening to the song.

[BenjaminFranklin2u]

Amazing song, his new album is absolutely inspiring

[gamersrus]

[stan4realDonell]

Lupe is without a doubt the most underrated rapper....i stopped listening to rap, because its all the same...money cars bitches...Lyrics lyrics lyrics...it used to be the focus of hip-hop...thank u lupe for bringing it back

[deadmoki]

Video goes great with the song!

[Sandi8898]

Lupe is such an amazing artist!!!! I wish he wasn't so underrated because his message definitely should be heard by more!!

[pezboy722]

lupe makes good music because he doesnt rap about stupid things like sex or drugs.

[DarkmanX206]

oh man if those things are stupid i feel kind of bad for ya buddy.

[weisstea]

i love your style of videos man

[BackwardTechnologies]

Lupe rox! As does your interpretation of his words :)

[CaptainChinblade]

Very good here. Yes yes..

[gabewg]

Great video. 5 stars! I made a similar video to 2pac's Never B peace. check it! its on my youtube!

[K1ngSullyMan]
