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!
@ironman145614 As for getting out of Iraq: do you really believe we will ever be gone completely? Look at Japan, Germany, Korea, Philippines. Not to mention the fortress-like embassy in Baghdad. Read!
@ironman145614 It is you who sounds ridiculous. If you were an educated and observant person you would see that my comment was six months ago, when we were still in Iraq and bombing the hell out of Libya. As for Pakistan and Yemen, if you took some time to pay attention you would see admissions from media and government that Obama is in fact using unmanned Predator drones in Pakistan and Yemen. Perhaps not an act of war in your narrow mind, but in reality it is an act of war. Read for once.
hey guys, i doubt anyone cares but i have nothing to lose by trying. yes, i know its generic as everyone on youtube is asking to check out their rap channel, but if you have a few minutes to spare wether you wanna legitimately check out my music or visit my page to laugh at how bad you assume i am, it would be much appreciated if you checked my shit out. thanks
This song is fucking incredible. So many interesting metaphors. Amazing choice of words and brilliant flow. I absolutely love this masterpiece. Well fucking done Paul :D
Every 9/11 I go out of my way to listen to this song...Sage Francis is an awesome rapper and cool dude. The guy actually answers his fan email. I can personally vouch for that.
@omasish It's on the Strange Famous website under 'contact'...I thought it would have been an automated response, but no...answers any questions and it's legitimately him...I know this because I got a reply at like 1 in the morning on Sunday night/Monday morning...it's him alright
Hands down, this is the best song about 9/11. Its such a clear-eyed portrait of a city and of a nation at the time. Still gives me chills ten years later.
If you guys like anti-gov stuff like this, checked out "Uncle Sam Goddamn" by Brother Ali. If you're a fan of Sage I'm guessing you already know who Brother Ali is, but if you don't check him out A.S.A.F.P.

Nobel peace prize recipient Obama now waging war in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan and counting. It is not about Rep or Dem, it is about divide and conquer. The Globalist movement toward their world order must fall.
@mcizhammered "Self proclaimed rebels say we must oppose the system, gotta take a stand if you're not against em you're with em. Signs read 'support the troops bring em home no more innocent victims' but when a homeless veteran asks for spare change you're too busy to protesting to even listen" -- Smile by Eyedia and Abilities.
@mcizhammered ok im not even that big of a fan of obama but u sound rediculous he was successful in getting us out of iraq and we arent in libya anymore and we arent at war with pakistan or yemen
@ironman145614 Hes pushing us towards war with Iran as we speak. Sanctions are an act of war. Why do you think Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. And just because we arent at war with Libya anymore doesn't mean we weren't for the better part of a year. Or the fact we are still in Afghanistan.
@mcizhammered I had to say something about a rarely insightful youtube post/poster. Obama represents merely another brand image shoddily pasted over a toxic mix of opportunistic greed, short-sighted pessimism, and callous repression we previously experienced under Bush. It makes me sick to see "progressives" voting for Obama. Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the norm!
see everyone is bitter in america, its a very self concerning country and selfish, personally i like the country but if people disagree on opinions your wrong to whoever one your arguing with. and jackjak100, you should have said im not the under paid one you are, and i think this is the closest anyone on youtube is
Fuck these nwo mass murdering assholes they killed American people! Please if you hate terrorists, I beg you to research the NEW WORLD ORDER so you can realize who the real terrorists are. I don't want the good people of the country I love to be angry at a scapegoat! You will find in due time that the nwo is a real problem, ignore the initial skepticism you will inevitably face
@Jbinkley79 Conspiracy Nut, You guys act like government is some big monster, killing everything in its path, hell bent on world domination. Government is people, and their is no single person controlling anything. If you want to blame anyone, blame yourself, because your just as much at fault for the world's problems. Love this song by the way.
@dimesach get your head out your ass. your gov't is stealing people's homes and bombing innocent civilians on your dime and in your name. did they ask you for permission to do those things or did they just go ahead and do them? for your info, this is not conspiracy theory but conspiracy fact. it is as true as that picture mentioned in the end of this song. ron paul 2012.
this is not about bush being a psychopath, and nor did he have disturbing ideas. find some fucking respect. Sage francis said himself its about his attack on journalism... listen to 5:27 - 5:50
...you are aware most of PF's succes is from the 70's? Anyways, I'm a huge psychedelic and progressive rock fan, as that was where music was innovative during that time. Now it's a different genre that's innovative for a different audience. And I happen to like that genre as well.
This song is about how everybody is blind to the truth and how nobody is sure who did what, but we assign the villain. and when that happens you get extreme racism and prejudice when to a innocent people.
This is beat is tripped out ilove it, but the lyrics are wak... i dont wana hear about george bush in a song i dont need to hear this shit i already know. Nice rhymes though i appreciate dat
I enjoy this song but Theres a lot of dumb people here talking about what they think it means, this song explains the corruption of journalists, not the U.S. Itself, sure we do fucked up things, but individually were not better or worse than anyone else.
the United States of America are THE #1 WAR CRIMINALS on the planet. no joke. do a search for 'Timeline of CIA Atrocities' by Steve Kangas or 'Killing Hope' by William Blum... and that's just for starters. America, you are one evil fucking menace to humanity.
Sage is a geek, which is cool as long as he embraces it and doesn't try to hide it. I don't know him well enough to know if that's true. He's a smart dude that told it like it was when many people were blinded by patriotism. Depending on his attitude tho he could easily go from smart to pompous and his songs get tiresome quick and he can get preachy. Sage is best in small doses
@Moranimal23 its ironic because your comment is accusing people of being sheep but look at what your doing! ask yourself how many people have left similar comments to yours on youtube...phs....get out of here with that
@epich100 I am getting out of here with that because you said so!!!! I am out of here. No wait I am back. Now I am outta here. Now I am back. Now I am outta here. Now I am back. Now I am outta here. Now I am back.
@epich100 Your right because you are so wise. I want to be one of your disciples. Please wise Yoda of the Epich 100. Son's of ludious and echarch. Be my supreme leader into the solar galaxy of Mxxxeaoud. Please do not let me down oh wise one. You reign supreme!!!!
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
@Codered8186 Look up the quote, the first part sentence isn't even MLK. Some girl on twitter tagged on her sentiment on part of something he said and attributed the entire thing to him. Kind of a dick move I guess since she assumed his actual quote wasn't enough.
@merkabaradio I know this man. The irony that I got out of it, was that all these so called anti-patriots are posting that quote, when they don't even know where its really from. That's pretty damn American.
@Codered8186 Here's another quote: "Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly" Risistance in the civil rights movement would be punnished, but I don't thing they faced the same punnishments as those who are awake & act as such
I realize there is an obvious tone of government control in the song, but I think people miss his thoughts about how media is an enabler. I mean throughout the song there are just blatant verses about how media publishes whichever story brings in the biggest profit. It's about how media portrays a patriot as a working class every-day man and how people see that picture and give up all of their rights for what is basically nothing
This guy can enlighten us all with his great and genius songs, he should be giben an award or something of the sort, all I have to say is , Thank You Sage Francis, Thank you
This song really leads you to believe that Sage Francis believes in the 911 truth, then you watch the interview and he says he thinks Bin Laden was behind it...
@qwgar there is nothing wrong with being patriotic...you should love where you come from and take pride in it, that's patriotism, it has nothing to do with naivety,
@qaaganuuk its not patriotism that is bad, im patriotic about america but its patriotism mixed with nieveness that equals thumbs down, the nieve meaning they couldn't imagine corruption or wrong journalism. patriotism is fine, the bad part is just what happens when its mixed with nieveness.
@AndIRanSoFarAway I don't think that mainstream America ever got to hear this song. Radio won't play stuff like this because it's controlled by the money men and they don't want you to know the truth.
Before I comment, I'm not bad-mouthing or tyring to offend anyone, I'm just offering my opinion. I know why everyone puts so much focus on Bush, because he WAS a bad president but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who is president because they're all puppets being controlled by the same corporations and groups of greedy, ignorant, people.
the songs not about 9/11, its about how the news reporters lied about what actually happened to make the event sound worse then it actually was (if thats possible)
Sometimes in groups of the three" hes talking about how people jumped out of the world trade centers on 9/11. to bad it was our governments doing its a real fucking shame
If you enjoy articulate hip hop with a sociopolitical connotation, check out "C. Str8 - Life is a Joke Freestyle"...it's in the same vein as this and needs to be disseminated amongst real hip hop heads
@snitzel16 the guy at the end was bob dylan and bob was trying to explain that to many people look at magazines for new or truth, good ol bob always fucked with reporters.
Amazing!! Artists now days need to use songs like this as a standard for a development of a criterion and point the artists feels passionate enough about to make a song that represents their views in a way that inspires change. This creates a basis for comparison; a reference point against which other things can be evaluated, which is exactly the type of songs we need to inspire today's youth to see fallacies of mainstream music that misrepresentation what’s really important.

This song really leads you to believe that Sage Francis believes in the 911 truth, then you watch the interview and he says he thinks Bin Laden was behind it...

@qwgar there is nothing wrong with being patriotic...you should love where you come from and take pride in it, that's patriotism, it has nothing to do with naivety,

@qaaganuuk its not patriotism that is bad, im patriotic about america but its patriotism mixed with nieveness that equals thumbs down, the nieve meaning they couldn't imagine corruption or wrong journalism. patriotism is fine, the bad part is just what happens when its mixed with nieveness.

@AndIRanSoFarAway I don't think that mainstream America ever got to hear this song. Radio won't play stuff like this because it's controlled by the money men and they don't want you to know the truth.

Before I comment, I'm not bad-mouthing or tyring to offend anyone, I'm just offering my opinion. I know why everyone puts so much focus on Bush, because he WAS a bad president but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who is president because they're all puppets being controlled by the same corporations and groups of greedy, ignorant, people.

the songs not about 9/11, its about how the news reporters lied about what actually happened to make the event sound worse then it actually was (if thats possible)

If you enjoy articulate hip hop with a sociopolitical connotation, check out "C. Str8 - Life is a Joke Freestyle"...it's in the same vein as this and needs to be disseminated amongst real hip hop heads

Amazing!! Artists now days need to use songs like this as a standard for a development of a criterion and point the artists feels passionate enough about to make a song that represents their views in a way that inspires change. This creates a basis for comparison; a reference point against which other things can be evaluated, which is exactly the type of songs we need to inspire today's youth to see fallacies of mainstream music that misrepresentation what’s really important.
