    pretty awesome.

  • I've been listening to this piece for years, and it still gets me every time.

  • Word!

  • this go hard

  • omg, i saw ths on tv. loved it.

  • thanks for blocking my last comment. now the rest will be misread. paranoid much? or was I right to spot it from the beginning?

  • Moral of this epic post? I spot hostility on this topic easily in anything cause it's been slammed in my face sooooo long. If white girls want black or spanish, if white girls want Asian men, great. I Love mixes. But the ghetto minded who think they're tha shit over everyone else, I will prove to you in a heart beat how much the "size" shit is a stereotype. Don't take my word. Ladies are welcome to approach my fellow American Indian or Irishmen to get that answer. Do your thing.

  • ......when you see Asian girls gush over white guys ESPECIALLY appearing to be happy and she's being treated right, shut the fuck up! And as for Asian guys, maybe it's cuz I'm from Atlanta and we didn't have this issue, but .....I have no beef with you. I have many friends who are Asian sooooooo I don't get the hostility. Lighten the fuck up. There are plenty of Asian girls who dig you over others, k? Just leave the ones who dig white guys alone. Nobody fucks with your preferences, do they?

  • I understand I have a lot of typos and I don't care. The proof of my intellect is there in text. Pot shot away. Otherwise, send a memo to all forums, boards, sites, blogs, and other vehicles of those smart enough to use them but too fucking stupid to understand true Love and appreciation for Beauty that goes way beyond a fetish. If you fuckers can stand to see black with Asians like Russel Simmons and such (who in secret are really GAY, sean combs/fitty.andre 3000, etc) Then...............

  • While entertaining the critics and superficial white women who I wouldn't touch with my NINe inch poll

    Nor with the heart and mind attached to it that to Yeshua has already been sold

    Tears in my eyes as the rage has only begun; I write this all in the name of my

    MAGDALENA and her sisters who know not only to be born as but to PRACTICE THE TRUE ART OF:

    A.phrodite S.ensual I.ncognito A.mrita N.octurnal S.eductresses

    FIN. .... .......

  • While the children continue building play grounds

    Your Asian Mothers have found a real eternal home

    I LOVE Asian lips, eyes, feels, mentality, and faces

    Never once have I endorsed makeup to cover Living Art's faces

    I f my comments are too off-the-wall like a star struck 16 yo girl's rock star dream

    Of my Love for the cultures and the Women that have made it all so supreme

    Know you have yet to descover thyself, for this olde soul moves not for pop and mouse

  • So that other real men may inherit the wealth that I have felt

    So, if you're too insecure to think me as some sort of wannabe (the same kind you drool over if they're famous or have record deals) know your ignorance knows no bounds

    For I am a rocker who hates the very urban I grew up parts in

    Especially the part that matters contrary to that black boy rumor and lie that still persists to float around

    I immolate not what I need not so therefore know your inner circle stands alone

  • If you don't get it it's because you don't get IT

    And I mean the girl too

    Reject the best happiness that can manifest

    Just cause the other children scolded on you

    Relax and smile in your epiphany of not

    That there's more than one way to give the deserved their pay

    Without taking on new debt by casting 2 cent lots

    My Wife is my Soul and her Viet/Chinese consumes me whole

    Yet I push my agenda for the rest

    So that other real men may inherit the wealth that I have felt

  • The ignorance is not what this film depicts

    Nor the witty come backs though her frailness wears on way too thick

    No

    The real issues is why does either side even exist?

    Like I'm supposed to accept I am one or the other when I never let the wizard of oz in

    Bedazzle yourselves while living in prison

    WHat can change?

    Unless you address the true root to eliminate all issues or maybe that's why the caged bird LOVES to sing?

  • But wait stop! A white man with an Asian woman and they cannot

    Be red taped into the insane judgments people try to give them?

    He really Loves her for her and she lOve him for him

    With Beautiful mixed children a New Earth can truly begin

    She discovers shivary as he is introduced Shangri-la

    But haters wanna counter even if it didn't include this subject matter

    So what's the matter?

    Plantin the seed of rebuke in one garden just to cause weeds in another?

  • I refuse to give up my yellow fever over your insecurity from an issue created by the same people on both sides of the world you bought music/food/fashion from to fund this ignorance to begin with

    MTV can lie in lies as abusive ghetto boys hypmotize the star-eyed sweet-childe-o-thin-ice

    And that's all right

    The prison populations/unwed mothers/and needle-armed tweaks are fine as long as the suiter wears black not prada

  • When stereotypes you think dominate are the fictions we know are false

    Yet you reinforce the ones you never knew were there

    Let me school you as a billion year olde serpent hater/hunter with the experience to understand why this abstract sea of words becomes your next perfect uppie Fuji bottle of everclear

    If you are that much on guard to Onguard! there first sights of Love

    The issue is not me or they but within yourself shall like a familar pain bare

    You are too blind to snuff

  • Since I was a childe I have a blood born hatred for rednecks of all kinds And the mastery of which my angelic roots I uphold to have brought to Asia Minor's MOST BEAUTIFUL Dragon "fly" Girls Do you have a favorite colour? A favorite mood? Who os your self or your atrributes? Rebuke? Upon what guise does thy torment over shadow? Laced with bad taste in a mouth like coals of fire from kindness poured about How do you like it now?
  • Since I was a childe unknowing of the fucked up things this world breeds to cause your revolt

    I am caucasion like the darkness is light, for I am not defined by a stereotype

    Nor the fucking idiots who ruined the trail before I awakened to the Light

    I know the truth in preferences; no need to reinforce

    You see, your lies used to deceive me, but my intellectual Soul has sinced settled Ignorance's divorce......from me

  • Ha! I fight against the fallen watcher angels that first taught Man war and Woman arts of deception with painted faces according to Enoch centuries before the day of Pentecost

    And the girl wants to hold up the men that held her down

    Cause if you're from the West then you must be a fetish pest wantin some tired ass school girl shit to go down

    I Believe last time I checked, my attraction was adult to adult

  • This Sioux Irish Indian Rocker has been creating floetry and fighting the real enemy in spirit and truth since 83 before you were even born

    You will never know that I am the shadow that gave birth to genres

    Techniques and aspects of artistry but the orginator gets credit

    Like Tesla to Edison

    Proud to be another common approach like you try to regain the women that you lost?

  • I got my high taste but how DARE I categorize for the sake of someone caught up in a twisted counter serpent-made philosophy

    I Love what I Love and your sweet serinade will never rival this

    Fuck your insecurities of race, my heart belongs to A.S.I.A.N.S.

    You try to counter my approach assuming everyone has the same approach like a wannabe stuck on urban prosac while in secret you let the projects turn you scorn

  • Change the meaning/change the words as you fustrate the most open of ears

    Then you spin contrary doctrine and walk away like you just blazed the rhyme

    Falling short of the conciousness that you sear

    Agenda unites MK Ultra and they all suddenly see the light

    Throw enough curve balls but only hitting a stone wall as the One like a thief slips off into the night

    If I like art or my favorite food; how bout a band or maybe some poetry?

    That's alright till it comes to sex

  • Conspiracy theories now conspiracy facts

    Ask your Soul and reason, "Where the hell you at?"

    Bottom feeders get to command on top

    And the only circle of deception, fear, and alienation never stops

    Too much pride to recognize the ensemble of the Gathering

    Far too long have I sat and watch your twist with evey new youth that learns to speak with blabbering

    Prove this; too black; too white; too not; up/down left/right

    It's poetry night at the wannabes of Earth and everyone wants a spot

  • Breathing fire as an un-taboo makes it's debut

    Wannabes of gen YRU confuse translation of the persuit

    Devestation reads carnality of mind

    While tollerence towards ignorance is truly disguised

    Your sisters saught me out before it all was too clear

    And the passion you feed from compares apples to rotten egos

    Under a pro-ghetto faced atmosphere

    Draw your comparisons from fiction and mix in real truth and points

    To damn those who shall see through you to the real reverse you play coy

  • Prepare to hate me, slam me, and correct my obvious typos tolerated for time sake. *The Arc Angel draws his Sword/stabs his heart so that it's blade is spoken upon it's target* I see through you. .... .......

  • I'm an old fart. I've never been able to relate to rap - simply not my culture. This one knocked me out of my seat!

  • Profound! Deep! Love it!

  • That is so Oakland!

  • 21 people just don't get it. Preach on, brother Adriel.

  • if you think this is good you should watch "that girl" from brave new voice.....it gave me chills

  • So... the woman hears the guy say "ethnic makeup" and goes off on a tangential social commentary based on literal definitions of "makeup". She could've simply started at 1:52 where she says my ethnic makeup is "the foundation laid by my indigenous people", and ended by saying the name that the indigenous people call themselves and that she won't have sex with him. But then she contradicts her speech about her indigenous people when she says she doesn't have an ethnic makeup at the end. Ooookay.

  • @sum1uknoh There's no need for nitpicking on such a dope piece.....

  • @sum1uknoh You're taking it too literal. She says she doesn't have an ethnic makeup, because your ethnicity isn't something you makeup. So she still has that foundation, but she doesn't like the term he used, which is why she ranted all that.

  • This is one of my all-time favorite videos. Thank you!

  • modern day pcahontas

  • 2much love this dont kno wher 2 start

  • I seriously want the lyrics to this, even though it's not an exactly a song

    "So what's my ethnic makeup?

    Well, I don't have any, because yer ethnicity isn't just something you can make up.

    And as far as that shit that my sister's put on their faces, that's not makeup, that's make believe."

  • I LOVE this!

  • this rocks

  • dats rightt !!! ayyye i like this

  • every single time I watch or hear this it just gets better and better

  • Check out another YouTube video "Once Tongue Tied".That video includes excerpts of this Adriel Luis poem as the sound track to scenes from the animated movie Pocahontas, a photo of Rosa Parks, and other photos/artwork. While this "What's your ethnic makeup" video also works, I prefer the above named mash up. Imo, the Once Tongue Tied video by Samantha Figuero enhances this already POWERFUL poem.

    Much respect!!!

    -an African American sista

  • Awesome! However, the girl is wearing some make up... so the part about her sisters putting sh** on their faces doesn't have as much merit in my view.

  • Awesome!

  • *snap *snap *snap *snap =]

  • Comment removed

  • Definitely the attitude of this video.

  • Hardly! Girls are under so much pressure to look beautiful these days. But problems like weight and ethnicity can make it difficult. The 'bitch' in this video was under the same pressure many others have.

  • right!! btw.. why the hell arent men in ANY pressure? except to be a man whore?lol

  • men are under pressure too, but if we even dare speak about it, if we even dare voice our feelings we are labeled pussies soo........

  • ahahah good point!

    im gangsta like that./
