Tao Ruspoli interviews stic.man of dead prez

[naterobinson1991]

I know what you mean.

[kcuftit]

everytime i think of malcom x i think of denzel washington

[deadkennedy210]

the music is great but it doesnt shelter the homeless nor feed the third world, in the end its great brain food but as far as change goes music is just another business....

[rocksinmouth]

stope saying "you know i mean" it makes you sound retarded. 

[prozpect14]

@rocksinmouth if thats all u got out of his words and message, maybe u shuold review who is retarded.. u know what i mean?

[bigbadbrucewillis]

@rocksinmouth stop misspelling four letter words.

[killerofkilljoy]

i'm a white kid from the suburbia, but i actually pay attention to the politics he raps about in his songs.

[mattgarcia1]

he is my hero

seeing how he was in the same situation im in now and how he worked his way of understanding and through his music how far he went with it

[TheLastCharmander]

I'm white and I can't stand whites that hate blacks and blacks that hate whites. Fuck color, the people in Washington could care less about your skin color. We both need to set aside our differences before we can unite and change the world. Silly racism and problems with how other people look getting in the way of what we REALLY need to change in this country.

[MRRYDECLYDEHIMSELF]

I remember when this happened like it was yesterday. It was a crazy day and alot of people were suspended & kicked out because Stic was speaking da truth, see racism was really strong in our area back then. Glad he moved on an let that minor setback set him up for that MAJOR COMEBACK!!!

[187BRAWNY]

@NIGGAKILLAMF Why are you even watching this video? KYS bitch ass.

[NIGGAKILLAMF]

fuck richass white people

[Nehemyah25]

what song by Miles is playing?

[skatsonface]

not only has drugs effected black yellow and brown ppl but white as well. the dude with the camera said it best social status aka income tax bracket. this is where i see most of the racism not because im black or brown but because im poor.

[xSYNDICATEDx]

@skatsonface Fuck all you white people we dont care bout your white community. With your racist white friends in the US

[afa16]

dam dis man is tha truth! wish he can get more exposure i wish this group and 2pac was to make a song...

[eerawb]

RBGs FOR LIFE...

REVOLUTIONARY BUT GANGSTER

[wivese86]

I wish the industry wasn't pushing artists like soulja boy and the rest because they are indirectly stripping those entertained by them of thought and societal consciousness. We are being oppressed without realizing it. We have to stand up and support the real artists with a real message. For all you parents out there make the choice to keep your kids from the ignorance out there because I definitely will. Peace.

[kingmetroplex]

Much respect to Sticky Icky !!

[nigols88]

It's amazing the power that one teacher can have on someones life. It's up to the wise to teach the young

[The81coach]

black,white,brown,yellow...thi­s is the natives land your inhabiting & exploiting while your argue over your inalienable rights,take your class struggle back to Africa europe & Asia

[itsmclean92]

What a load of shit. Fighting for 'the white man' and all- does he realise that basically every single state has been involved in war of some kind? That includes black, whites, yellows and all colours and creeds. Dead prez are profoundly ignorant and seriously lacking in their political opinions- they exemplify reverse racism at its absolute worst and are bigots themselves. Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powel have not made any ill-informed decisions in being politicians; they have been successful.

[suthern89]

@itsmclean92 it is fighting for the "white man" in a way. black people don't have a problem with Iraqis, Taliban, or any other people the US had conflict the last few decades . I can understand why some black people join and i can understand why some don't. I am one that would never fight because the US shouldn't fuck with everyone. 9/11 was a sad time but the US has done much worse. Bettering ourselves is more important than fighting people living in a worse place than us

[itsmclean92]

@suthern89 Agreed.

[voodoochild9547]

"white, bored, suburban middle class kids who probably have no opinion about anything"

that was me before i began listening to artists like dead prez, krs-one, rage against the machine, and began reading true literature, not that bull shit thrown at you in school. i am for the struggle.

[joereece86]

i agree with some things that he says and raps about in general, but some things i think he kind of takes to the extreme

[soufsydemedia]

RGB4LIFE!!! I love dead prez--REALRAP @ itz finest most prinstine essence...M1&stic--we need them desparately in hiphop 2 rep the real street-consciencous nature of our culture/music/and struggle. RBG Salute! ShicagoShan over&out--*Peace!

[ana3aref1]

truley well spoken, but i think there are a some things he isnt taking into considiration... the system isnt only against blacks, browns or any other race.. here in palestine america is against pepole of all the races and the same thing goes in cuba, vietnam, nepal and every country that dears to defy thier control. so i dont think its about racism but about power.

[laylowsnuky]

well spoken..... power to the people

[b4baby]

stic.man is easily in my top 5 favorite rappers of all time. that brother is real as it gets. much respect.

[miguelrevomexi]

shit bruh they already have information age is going to elevate power to to the people

[noselfnoproblemo]

Im a middle class white kid that dropped out of "THEY SCHOOLS" because of this man and his music. He and a few others showed me the real MATRIX iI was raised in. Hes just a man and I dont dwell on any ones every word but alot of people are giving us peices of the puzle, are we trying to piece it all together or do we know what were ignoring and afraid to face it?

[toosikkid123]

man u want a cookie?

[noselfnoproblemo]

I hope they start to rap more about the fed and the Boule and shit! Will they call out the men behind the scenes?

[shanerossibx]

fuck the police, new york pricks and dicks

[grouphomebikes]

Great !

[enugbv]

great interview!

[Reevesy791]

very intelligent man

[cobysoccer]

the music playinjg in the background is so peaceful, anyone knows where i can find online stuff that would play like that or the name of that symphony playing on the background..

[ruspoli]

that's miles davis

[cobysoccer]

thnx bro, great video..u took it to the next level..

[fury2962]

Kind of Blue by Miles Davis its seriously dope it was one of the first albums I ever bought

[wiseknowin777]

@cobysoccer it is most definitely Miles Davis.......i love Miles music, i even named my son after him, i relax to his music all the time.....it transforms you to a place!

[pokerschatje]

@cobysoccer

its miles davis

[walkwithme]

@cobysoccer

it's nice but its too loud. whoever edited it did a wack job. Should have toned it down a little bit. I want to listen to stic not the jazz in the backround

[HoraceVanKhute]

Robinho speaks english!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Korosu687]

what the fuck!! os this monkey even saying!!..COMPLETE BULLSHIT!

[InvaderNBY]

Halt deine Fresse Korsu187! Wenn du HURENSOHN nich den Struggel des Soldaten da verstehst.... RBG4LIFE ALL AROUND THE WORLD! (Hi!)

[jamalman1]

these guys are so pro black they speak the truth blacks have been oppressesd but black people need to assend beyond the opression from whites and see some of the problems in the black community such as self hatred and envy of successful black people. love dead prez though hope they own people dont let them down

[katrinanikole]

i wish this was longer!!!! rbg for life

[carmelajoplin]

what kind of camera where you using? i love the coulour temperature in this...very good alltogether, well done!

[mennyus]

its funny how he asked that question about the bored middle class, suburb, white kid, cause thats pretty much who i am, and i think they are for me, what malcolm x was for him.(okay i live in eastern europe, so its a bit different, but still great question).beutiful interview all togeather

[morwen88]

He is Robinho???????

[EuTaNaZjA81]

hahaahahahah

[stivi619]

HOLY SHIT! An intelligent black man!

[Coldsun3000]

This was a realllly good interview...

[gurber93]

ignorance does go both ways. reperations should be payed though

[JDORUS89]

Well lets look at how civilised Africa is today shall ,unfair elections,corruption, dictatorships,punishment beatings,whole villages masacred ,woman and children raped & their limbs chopped off with machetes,thousands children with AK's killing each other fighting in futile civil wars,& thats just wot me & my educated mind see but let me guess thats down to the "white man"?? so you've read a book,(slow hand clap)The truth is now you control your own path & your still shit, fukin "LOL" u prick!!

[itscalledfootball]

you talk of africa as a whole, you know its a continent, with a shitload of countries, all with different situations

[Th31nsurg3nt]

look at america... i rest my case

[kenhoyt]

You might want to start with Heart of Darkness, along with How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, Discourse on Colonialism by Aime Cesaire, and of course you need Fanon in there too. If you're world view doesn't include a colonial history, your educated mind probably has a lot of questions. The most powerful weapon you might possess is the question "why?" dog. Peter Tosh wasn't kidding about 400 years. Read, Study Lessons, build your Inner power.

[intr1nzic]

An excellent book is Capitalism and Slavery by Dr. Eric Williams, first and former prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago (R.I.P.)

[iamcitizen01]

If we had more influential groups like DP in hip-hop/mainstream culture, we'd all be a lot more conscious, organized and radical citizen population. We could be put in a position to change things if we could all mobilize simultaneously. United goals - smash the police state, patriarchy, homophobia, homelessness, white power, and end this facade of democracy by enacting real change, not policy reformation that gets ignored and led nowhere. You're a REAL mother fucker, Stic. Don't ever change!!!

[elmo66601]

@iamcitizen01 REAL TALK, if people saw how big a force they are in the masses and knew how to mobalize themselves things would be verry different. just hope that the day of that realization isnt too far in the future.

[SilverNrGy985]

@iamcitizen01 exactly man! people need to mobilize and take direct action against injustice,exploitative corporations,the fascist regime! revolutionary struggle !

[jpgrunewald96786]

@iamcitizen01 ... thats real talk, and a real plan....

[heymaria123]

love his records on NAS ALBUM!!!!!!!!!

m

stic.man of Dead Prez

[CoyoteJaw9]

America has many things wrong with it.

But it and its allies are still the most enlightened countries on Earth.

This is the bigger, bigger picture.

[JDORUS89]

The vast majority of normal white folks,including myself,know full well that slavery was wrong as fuck but does that mean we should feel responsibility or guilt for the actions of our cuntish forefathers?There are plenty of black folks who don't lay down in front of the precincts.So is it really fair to assume the whiteman is on the other side if we don't?Ps dead prez r amoung the illist mCs i ever heard.peace

[nmbchicago]

Yes, if you are white you should be held accountable! Remember if anything went down that cause a racial divide you could blend and no one would ever know of your liberal views and I couldn't

[JDORUS89]

you r obviously a racist twat, so fuck and don't waste my time!

[nmbchicago]

You obviously need more education about the capitalistic way in additional to spelling and english. Is fuck the beginning and the end of your vocabulary? Can you speak and write the king's english? I am not racist, I am realistic about the American system and what's profitable and what's not. Racism is profitable for the 2% of white america. Guess what? You are not even in that 2%, get educated.

[JDORUS89]

blah,blah,blah cry me a river professor!! Wot do you expect me to do about it???!!

[nmbchicago]

Read and educate yourself. Then you can be of service to yourself and others. Nothing beats understanding.

[JDORUS89]

Understand this, suck my fuckin balls bitch!! go on, come back some smart-arsed comment that if it make you feel important u total cock.

[nmbchicago]

Your message says it all, it speaks to who you are!

[Putumintheyplace]

Look at this guy lol... you might as well put on a skirt and hold a icecream cone in the air and say "na na na na na i got icecream"... your a real bitch in every sense of the word lol.

[JDORUS89]

oh dear please stop you may hurt my feelings harhar let me guess you just watched Chris Rock or summit! well done i'm affraid you are the bitch,cos you'll always be the white mans bitch and before say somethink really inspired like "why dont you say that to a blacks face??" I have done right before i stuck a knife in his belly so fuck YOU BITCH!

[CrazyFool4Lyf]

you see how that fat chip on your soldier just turn a non racist into a racist perhaps if people in this dayn age would consentrate on the uture rather than the past we may just move foward ignorance goes both ways my brother.peace

[OneWorldOneStruggle]

I sort of see where you're coming from, but i disagree. People like stic who are speaking the painful truth ARE looking toward the future. He's just admitting that if the future's gonna be any better, we've got a lot of work to do. Concentrating on the future is ok, but we shape the future by our actions in the present, and that present extends from a racist, violent, oppressive past. Word.

[wenithboy]

the past influences the present my friend...

[skipqtexas]

Hell yea you owe us. You owe us for in injustices that our happening now.

You gave the Japanese amerikkkans reperations, 25,000$ a piece including their heirs. That means their descendants that didn't exists during ww1.

[JDORUS89]

KIss my hair hoop haha hows that for reperations. you should be grateful for slavery,forget air force ones you,d still be runnin round africa naked & bear foot eating the flees out of each others hair!!! haha

[Zelevision]

Wow! your so uniformed and plain foolish, I thought all the people that think we benefited from slavery were dead or on crack. Some white folks still think yall civilized africans. I blame it on education, we don't learn true african history... but since your so far behind on your knowledge of history, study who the Moors were, the people of africa that educated caucasion on everything from math, religion to science. You must do someresearch silly white man, you must STUDY b4 you comment LOL,

[JDORUS89]

Well lets look at how civilised Africa is today shall ,unfair elections,corruption, dictatorships,punishment beatings,whole villages masacred ,woman and children raped & their limbs chopped off with machetes,thousands children with AK's killing each other fighting in futile civil wars,& thats just wot me & my educated mind see but let me guess thats down to the "white man"?? so you've read a book,(slow hand clap)The truth is now you control your own path & your still shit, fukin "LOL" u prick!!

[shanewhite]

funny because u just described nearly every developed democratic country right there. Ud swear Africa was any worse then the greater powers in the world? poorer? yes. why? because of the greater powers. Also don't know where ur getin ur views about him and "thats down to the white man"? later

[Putumintheyplace]

Another youtube BEATCH... didnt your mother teach you to never say anything about someone that you wuldnt say to there face. Ok this is your mission to prove you really stand by your opinion on slavery. Tomorrow, go up to a black "man" and tell him you feel like black should be happy our women were raped, our history was taken form us, cause throught out the whole continent of Africa we living like monkeys lol. Ok can you handle that? Nah you can't your mother raise a bitch!

[Putumintheyplace]

Learn about true African history you snake ass white boy... this is why we punch you lil punks in the face for nothing, cause we know you smile in our face then go home and talk shit on your laptops... and you think being a bitch is funny, your a sad excuse for a male.

[manuuh1]

Respekt Brother,

Met M1 in Tanzania but we could not talk so much.I knew Dead Prez as Concious Hip Hop Crew.But now as Movement of Black people.Was out of american hip hop 4 long time cause did'nt like the way it develop these years.

Give me hopes 2 see there are concious Rappers around.

UHURU

[blaaaaze]

Shouldda got Hip to that Malcom

[sanmuhammad]

Dead Prez is the Most Important Rap Group in Hip-Hop Today!

[Beatnuk]

Word up, Go get'em Sticcy

[pinoytoy357]

it does have a spike lee touch kinda but i think thats because of the jazz music playin in the background

[hustler01]

THIS GOt lika a SPike Lee Touch. Whats tha name of this Documentary?

[williammelvin]

im white and and from london, but get lets get free album had a big impact on me, not only is the music fantasic the message is better. much like mr hicks, not only is the comedy side spliting the message is important. bravo to dead prez.

[Folkz6]

so who a fuxck if u white wejust sayin free balck ppl and leave us alone u honky kill all white ppl

[OrdoabChao]

personally I dont think you understand what the white person said.. moron.. next time read things properly before ASSuming otherwise .. he was merely saying that Dead Prez were great .. you fucking twat

[stfunooobzmopfgz]

I feel the same williammelvin. I was aware of the main theme before I listened to DP but they're great (at least Let's get free album).

I'm white, too and from Germany but who the fuck cares?

No God, No State, No Master, No Slave! Total Liberation!

[BlackstarShip]

What you said was true. It's just about the freedom of people regardless of race,gender, or whatever. It is a small group of faces of all races,nations,corporates,and political figures who are trying to make sure that the masses stay divided. They want to control your mind.Let's get free because fuck all these differences and do the righteous thing as an indiviual and then we can set it off as a whole. UHURU!!!!

[bbmn87]

Powell, rice? They just pawns in that game.

They should've got hip to that malcolm

[ThaFlyestMoor72]

RBG 4 Life

[SKYLINEWORKER1]

rbg in the building

[vinyltv]

WAKE UP. But ya'll know, how do we get the muthafuckers who love the bullshit?!?!?

[mjb4lyfe09]

i'm all fo freedom it's time to ride by all means necessary!

[JNickS33]

"angles" I meant =oO

[JNickS33]

Lovin that Miles in the background...great piece for a great interview. Love the quality, angels, intimacy...wonderful. Stic is a beautiful man.

[lifestraight]

Very Real

[WESTCOASTLATIN]

this system feeds u garbage about how "freedom" is having every pity material thing u want and desire

[WESTCOASTLATIN]

the big problem here are the rich white people who brain wash the middle class americans which are the majority in this country, middle class americans are just pawns to the rich corporations, even though they suffer from it indoctrination through the media and school systems make it hard to open up their minds

[vo57]

Hell yeah, the middle class is stuck chasing the american dream. Life is more than a car, a home, wife and kids. It's really disgusting. Community organizing is a difficult thing, and most people now take the easy way out and get caught up trying to get theirs, instead of making sure everyone has enough of what they need.

[Errianno]

Dead Prez For Life!

[focus2g]

dead prez 4 life

[BlackstarY2K]

Dead prezz 4 life

[sura662]

Dead Prez 4life. This ni99az are so real. Trust me it aint that hard to push that grimmy shii & make party joints and get paid, but when you live for a cause to promote positive image of our people, self awareness and exposing the truth it's priceless. By the way it aint about Black Or White ...it's about right or wrong!

[sirbeber]

colin powell, condoleezza rice they all part of that game right there. they shoulda got hip to that malcolm

[lupemiya]

Minority people do have it bad in the USA,

and thats just my opinon from a Born in Africa Livin'in Europe (Amsterdam , The Netherlands)

I Hope that in time there will be less racism towards Minority's in America cuz u guys may not see it looking from inside out but if you are lookin from outside in America is too screwed up to be fightin'wars in other country's the should be takin care of there american citizens there shouldnt be any 'Ghetto's' in america ( the richest country in the world )

[lupemiya]

cuz there arent any in The Netherlands

you guys ( Americans ) need to adress these problems stic.man is saying to whomever wants and dont wants to listin so the problems in America gets solved and im saying this because i want to move to New York in a couple years and i dont feel like beeing discriminated against because of my skincolor or heritage

[Mousse4200]

i like Dead Prez but what wtf is up with him trying to say he discovered Malcom X lol. Yeah nobody knew who he was before you, OK.

[murukku]

lol i think he was saying *when* he discovered malcolm x and how he changed his life. he wasnt making it seem like he alone discovered malcolm - that would just be stupid. i'd like to give sticman waaay more credit than that lmao

[kingflipp]

you gotta be joking, right?

[rojr8]

lmao yea bruh he wasnt tryin to say it like that

[kingflipp]

you sound stupid..he sayin he discovered malkom for himself...pfg4life

[GrassAndRocks]

hahahaha, your funny.

[samdonuge]

you don't gotta be a MAN to be into politics

[FrZ321]

You would call me a whiteboy 4 Poland.i'm white and i am not proud at all..i am only happy that there is some people like Stic.Man and M1 or Felipe Coronel who have balls to stand up and speak up and tell the truth to youth.Big Respect !! and Thx ! You R the Voice of our generation !! Be Healthy 4 live !

[SharifJihad]

I'm totally down with DP. Even as a white boy I understand where they come from. I hate the crooked cops and evil politics. Everything they say is the truth. America is so worried about other countries that they pay no attention to our infrastructure and direct needs of the community.Rise up!

[77MAESTY77]

HIP HOP AIN'T DEAD YET.

[steventriune]

flamenco sketches by miles davis

(Reply) (Spam)

[magonistarevolt]

you can see stic lose interest when Tao asks him about his white fans. Like Fanon, dp speaks to brothers and sisters in the struggle, not to ignorant white suburban kids.

[socoh17g]

Who the fuck cant respect these words! REAL AS REAL CAN GET!

[VCauterizeV]

Great to hear from Stic. All dpz white fans, please check out a book called "The Abolition of White Democracy" by Joel Olsen. IN SOLIDARITY

[sarah12333]

NewJeru, do you know all of dead prez's white fans?

[NewJeru973]

most of dead prez white fans dont support reparations...

[voice22]

those aren't fans, those are consumers...word.

[samdonuge]

truth

[tntbootss]

this dude is 100% real

[waynesnooze]

Wicked interview, we NEED more rappers like this.

WAKE-UP!!

[feeevah]

respect dead prez. educating the uneducated. listen!

[mize2]

Very well done...Stic is one of my fav people of all time...A true warrior and leader for the people...Thanks for the video.

[ivan1087]

Brilliant...
