The war child came to visit us at the University of Florida he told us the story of kids forcing other kids to pee in cups for drinking. it was ROUGH!!!!!
When you open your eyes to what has happened and still happens in the world... it is easier to wake up and thank God for your own life even with its problems. The problems may seem trivial compared to what others have walked in their life.
@AnimeGuy123123 it's supposed to represent him while he was in the healing process, trying to fight off the war inside him n imbracing the child that he really is. u should read his book, it's really sad. it's called War Child. it's an amazing read :(
First saw this guy on al-Jazeera, and his story blew my mind. I generally like rock instead of rap, but this guy is genuine. He's not a shallow a-hole like all the American rappers. Peace and Love!
I like the concept of the video, it says no matter what youre going through in a rich country its nothing compared to what people are going through in the third world countries. That's what always keeps me going, no matter how much shit im going through i know there's people out there who have it worse.
MAD respect to Emmanuel, you did live for a reason and that reason is to get what you deserved, to live long live life smoke the bongs mad respect the 4 disrespects neva gonna see the light.
Mm it really makes you think, so many people in the developed world think that their lives are hopeless because they lose a loved one or their buisness colapsed, I just want to slap these people and tell them they should try a single day of being a Sudanese war child, then they'll know despair, loss and true hopelessness.
@lolwhat221 I knew a guy who'd lived through the Sierra Leone civil war and fled to the "developed world". He got settled, but then lost his job and had to survive off benefits, under pressure to send back money back home for his family. He said the depression he felt then was actually worse than the war because it was unremitting and made him feel worthless. If you feel despair who's to say someone else's is worse? Saying that, people should make effort to appreciate what they have.
FINALLY: New hip hop music that actually has a story and meaning. Lil' Wayne and many other current artists should be ashamed of their stagnant lyrics and false sense of authority after hearing true music like this.
watched the documentary this morning...now ckin out the music...all can be said is WOW,,what an INSPIRATION .....authentic... incredible....thank you....im not the same now..........
The music industry REALLY needs more Emmanuel Jals and less Kanye Wests. Come to think of it, it needs to stop being an INDUSTRY and go back to more what it's supposed to be: ART.
@DrxPreservzz "True artist"? I'll admit that Kanye's got creativity. I'll admit he's got talent. But the problem is that he tends to be a bit of a music industry puppet. He writes too much about what people "want" to hear, not what people "should" hear. Too much about the Club and his money and not enough about the world as it is. Too much of what his ACCOUNTANT wants him to write about. Too often I get the feeling he sings from his wallet and not his heart.
@WhisperingZephyr I disagree, I think his music represents who he is and what he likes. You can hear all of his influences in his music. It's not his fault that he IS what people want to hear, and what the industry wants to exploit.
@DrxPreservzz I'm glad to be able to have an polite, intelligent arguement with someone on Youtube, and I sincerly thank you for that. Too many people resort too quickly to easy insults and bad grammar.
I disagree with you, however. Kanye's music may sell well, but that doesn't mean it's a good thing. Too often, I fear, the industry pressures him to forsake creativity and meaning for content that simply generates more profit. It's one of the flaws of capitalism, sadly.
@DrxPreservzz You know, I'm starting to think I spoke out of turn. The world doesn't need less Kanye Wests, the world needs less Kanye wanna-be's, and for Kanye West to be himself more often. I still strongly believe that the music industry need to go back to it's roots. The CEO's and accountants just have too much control. Then again, it's hard to think of any business where that's not the case.
Thank you sincerly for opening my eyes a little wider.
Much respect. We are changing the world because people like E Jal transcend the horrors of life to find a higher truth and share it with the rest of us. I think of Viktor Frankl and others. Thank you.
wow love this I am a blues nut but also like other styles this comes from the heart I also lived in a war zone as a kid in Belfast from 67 to 71 so I can relate peace to you Emmanuel. and god bless
wow love this I am a blues nut but also like other styles this comes from the heart I also lived in a war zone as a kid in Belfast from 67 to 71 so I can relate peace to you Emmanuel. and god bless
ok i think you need to chill becuz beleve it or not my uncle was a child soldier and i think you need to get a life becuz sayn fuk you to people becuz they wanted to know who was at the speech doesnt make it any better ither like chilll and you actin like this repulses me so screw of plz and thank you. and i do have empathy to the child soldiers in africa i even donated so layoff :P
like my post if u were there on friday!!!!! it was awesome i was the girl who yelled cerial and asked wat were they fightn for the hootsoos and the tootsis
@candygirl647 You sound like a fucking idiot. Your callous disrespect for the struggle of so many millions repulses me. Your apathy, and the apathy of people like you, is the reason this world remains such a dark place. Fuck you.
@Patrissimo47 ok i think you need to chill becuz beleve it or not my uncle was a child soldier and i think you need to get a life becuz sayn fuk you to people becuz they wanted to know who was at the speech doesnt make it any better ither like chilll and you actin like this repulses me so screw of plz and thank you.
I'm afraid I agree though with some peeps here, he's got a strong message and everything about him is honest and real, but his rap skills let him down. sorry...
He's been through so much and deserves America's utmost respect. He's extremely talented and hopefully his message will spread to our people and government.
I am in love with this, I am usually not a rap fan which I would guess has something to do with the meaningless of it , all about sex, drugs, clubs, girls etc. THIS has real meaning, this is about something, something that matters.
this song it's very sad Emmanuel is real and unique rapper who express his stories in unique way..... I respect him alot and he deserved. greeting from Somalia Peace
This is an amazing story and a courageous and beautiful young man. An inspiration to 'witness to peace in a violent world' (theme of Social Justice sunday 26 Sept)
We're all in this together, when a child soldier is killed, a brother of mine is killed. When an American soldier is killed by an IED, I lose a brother. When an Iraqi mother is killed by a predator's missile, a mother of mine dies.
It sounds hippies, but hippies are purer in spirit than many of us. Humanity is weary, we can't continue the inequalities that lead to all sorts of wars, from those in Africa to the war between the rich and poor.
This is what I call REAL music. Many need to sit and listen to music like this. It gives you a huge insight on what's going on in the real world and how it effects people in the long run. You gotta love this song.
this video deserves way more than 24,807 views...more like 245 million. how does Baby by Justin Bieber get that many when this- which is so much better and artistic and has a great message- gets barely any??
@rawrcheetos no diss, i like k'naan, but k'naan is better with english because he partly grew up in canada (since he was 13, he's 32 now). emmanuel jal grew up in africa
Listen to this and spread this song. Let the world hear about Sudan, although it is already 25 years too late. Emmanuel, means God with us! Lord be with you, Emmanuel.
@Darkness113 I absolutely agree. His book made me cry and completely changed my perspective on this war... His determination and trust in God gave him success. I couldn't be more inspired by him.
@blowinstuffup1 In of his other songs, "No Bling" he talks about how he knows he isn't a good rapper. It doesn't take away from the message or the song. It's still good rap. No need to be upset, dude.
i love his message, love this song. but to be honest, hes just saying info, not really rapping. he has better songs. but he needs to continue to say his story. people just don't understand. if youtube wasnt so stupid now, id give this an easy 5 star.
I read the book Warchild by Emmanuel Jal today this book i recommend to anyone its so good. It moved the earth beneath me it touched my heart it showed me the hardships of reality people have to go through and harsh reality. I really liked this book its beyond explanation its his story explained thats it but its a good book trust me you wont regret reading it.
The war child came to visit us at the University of Florida he told us the story of kids forcing other kids to pee in cups for drinking. it was ROUGH!!!!!

@rawrcheetos no diss, i like k'naan, but k'naan is better with english because he partly grew up in canada (since he was 13, he's 32 now). emmanuel jal grew up in africa

Listen to this and spread this song. Let the world hear about Sudan, although it is already 25 years too late. Emmanuel, means God with us! Lord be with you, Emmanuel.

I read his book and loved it, made me cry. He is one of the most non-fake people you will ever see.

@Darkness113 I absolutely agree. His book made me cry and completely changed my perspective on this war... His determination and trust in God gave him success. I couldn't be more inspired by him.

@blowinstuffup1 In of his other songs, "No Bling" he talks about how he knows he isn't a good rapper. It doesn't take away from the message or the song. It's still good rap. No need to be upset, dude.

i love his message, love this song. but to be honest, hes just saying info, not really rapping. he has better songs. but he needs to continue to say his story. people just don't understand. if youtube wasnt so stupid now, id give this an easy 5 star.

I read the book Warchild by Emmanuel Jal today this book i recommend to anyone its so good. It moved the earth beneath me it touched my heart it showed me the hardships of reality people have to go through and harsh reality. I really liked this book its beyond explanation its his story explained thats it but its a good book trust me you wont regret reading it.
