[nicknackrap]

YES.

[DeeSimpson2k]

Just seen and heard you for the first time on 'Random Acts' (TV). Absolutely brilliant. I look forward to hearing a lot more of you thanks You Tube xx

[stratfanatic]

excellent poetry, but drop the Jamaican accent. You're better than that.

[4RUGGA1]

I love this master of poetry

[ambistia12345]

Brilliant, Kate, just brilliant art.

[qwertyuiopdan1]

Aww the plebs think this is art.. Cute.

[WumSowProductions]

@qwertyuiopdan1 Stop being a cunt.

[mayasurface23]

You're beautiful!!! I want to Occupy the world with your words, that are my words, that are our words. Thank you dear lady and know you have a person across the sea that will forever be on your side.

[tillasmax]

Great video keep up the good work.

[ijustamwhoiam]

watched this in school and i had to find it when i got home .. i cant explain but i HAD to hear this again

[halffullpint]

Has she been smoking crack with shakespeare in it?



[ofhaidan]

I have a link that has all the lyrics from her End of Times collection, including Cannibal Kids. I can't post it her, but message me if you'd like it.

I'd be glad to spread her stuff!

xx

[GamingPersuit]

'While they are shottin water

their jailin kids for shottin a couple zoots' < tbh makes me think.. why do we have to pay for water? O.o

[juevelinoz]

@GamingPersuit because you are a Helot.

Because water isn't free, and neither are we, they own us.

We can escape in our minds, sometimes, some of us.

but tvs are bigger than books, and most of the rap we hear is about guns and money.

[superfishle]

@GamingPersuit "they" say it's b/c clean water takes very expensive infrastructure, which requires huge investments to be made...

[ruebes77]

@meatcoke intelligent inputs only please

[imgnepc]

if we could bottle her passion and distribute it to all the teenagers in the world they would change things so fast...

[benbonigan]

Does anyone know which poem she performed on Nick Grimshaw's show on Radio 1?

[ofhaidan]

@benbonigan

Bubble Muzzle, I have the lyrics if you'd like them

[benbonigan]

@ofhaidan Thanks a lot, and yes that would be great if you could message me with them, also do you know if there is anywhere to download her poems?

[mrcrespy]

@ofhaidan

would you please message me the lyrics?

[ofhaidan]

@mrcrespy Yeah sure, I tried but you have to accept me as a friend first :)

[mrcrespy]

@ofhaidan I accepted your friendship but u didnt send anything yet

[AdeleCorrenti]

wow



[GodsSonLdn]

I was blown away when i saw this

[meatcoke]

she reminds of a christian preacher person lol like shouting on the street praise the lord lol ahaha

[MrMonkeyspanner]

Fucking awesome wordsmith.

[desmondpacassidy]

Mmm...I think I shall exit quietly and put some Bob Dylan on...Ahh...that's better !!!

[Sm3llyG]

apt

[marclf]

lol what a load of shit

[banghiphorray]

@marclf the comment of a cannibal kid....

[thelexy239]

inspirational! one of us telling them in such a strong defending way that they will have to noice but to sit there and fuckin listen! ;) well done ma bitch! xx

[NotBadForGirls]

AMAZING - inspirational and satisfying to know that there are some we can leave the world to who will have kind and strong hands and minds

[MyOwnSelfishRequest]

she is a word smith.

[themilkmister]

thumbs up if you're watching her on glastonbury right now

[BENJIMANBREEG33]

@themilkmister or thumbs down. Just talking evasive gangester shit, is not talent. She'll probably win BGT next year, lol. So tragic.

[thalo101]

she's top class, best thing I've seen or heard in a long time

[akinrinmade00]

this confuses me......i get what shes saying but is it music or what ?

[TheLovelyMutation]

@akinrinmade00

It's called poetry, my dear friend.

[paganklh1]

Outstanding!

[shinawillful]

Brilliant young woman. The voice of a generation. Thank you for posting.

[fuckoverload]

This is indeed quite something, isn't it?

[sonetlumiere12345678]

Big up Kate. This is a kick in the teeth to anyone that thinks poetry is just pretentious bullshit.

[TimandRuth08]

Fookin' ada! Wow!

[lassie55]

female immortal technique, she is Haaard!

[tjfulgence1]

OMG..... WHO NEED JESUS WHEN THIS CHICK SPEAKS THE TRUTH WITHOUT RIDDLES....... DEEP SHIT

[dawneeymonster]

Awesome.. More of her please.. more like her please... such wise words, such sadness and beauty xx

[CaryGranite]

Brilliant!

[ashpotatos]

This is so powerful. Tempest you have made my day. x

[captainshitto]

!!!

[oetpay]

fucking hell!

[portobellolinda]

SHE IS AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC, CHILLINGLY BRILLIANT

"The new latchkeys of London..." ELOQUENT, POWERFUL, WONDERFUL!

[estherfreak]

I tell you something for nothing...this shit hot talent was the highlight of Reading 2009. She came on in the middle of the day in a practically empty alternative tent and drew a crowd...totally blew me away. She is directly in touch with the source of passion and rage and so easliy externalises.

[fiddypens]

sends a shiver... When are you going to visit Frome?

[wesg77]

she looks like she is trippen and constipated at the same time

[arunproductions]

5 star!

[Shazwick090]

gives me gooosebumps...

[leftoverjuices]

I saw her at Camp Bestival too. So inspirational.

[ktmymatey]

She is something special.

I saw her perform at Camp Bestival and she blew me away but also gave me a wind of hope.

Scroob introduced her...another legend.

Thanks Kate! x

[bobbylizziebeebop]

spinetingling! it makes my fingers itch with words, such cut-throat beauty like broken glass, that shimmers like diamonds in the shattered dreams, and pools blood in our sisters streams.

[justboy24]

powerful words

[slamey87]

Just so you can truly appreciate how lyrically beautiful this is...

We were suckled on the milk that they soured

Told the future was ours

And then disembowelled and disempowered

Weve been disgraced, deafened and deflowered

Our brains brutalised and our defiance devoured

[exoduscornflakes]

@slamey87 same here....stunning!!

[CKPunk9]

@slamey87

Pure shite.

[cfcolly]

@CKPunk9 I used to have no appreciation of art, then I took an arrow to the knee

[Boncath2]

Kate Tempest is an amazing raw, rising new talent. Wow! Such surging rhythm and rhyme. She brings tears to my eyes.

[jacobrmaya]

Gwon this is the best surprise i ever had on youtube. It was like a stoned noam chomsky,trust your kicking. From markpetermaloney at my space

[mindfullchaos]

Here by way of the Pip, and I must say the girl looks rowdy and sounds right.

[mjd1982]

this is fantastic. This person has great insight

[jacobvision]

our indigo youth view on future in a poem,

youth that started to find its way

to build a future without awe for law.
