[kkk345ful]

[Femcrisis]

The girl on the left at 1:44 wants the dick.

[joenkobema2011]

I totally miss Def Poetry Jam!!! Poetri is awesome!! Enlightening and entertaining

[aarondirt]

I tend to watch def poetry in search of some deep philosophical shit, not to say your writing isn't multi purpose, but I got side tracked from my bitter quest by all your poems, and they lifted my mood considerably.. respect from Australia

[earthdragon2489]

This is definitely a poem for the recession-era.

[punjabikid23]

Poetri, have you ever considered doing Comedy? Your truly talented in making people smile

[kamkam30]

I frickin wana meet Poetri. Actually I need help because I want to start writing things like this. and other types of poetry

[aarondirt]

@kamkam30 you don't need help to start writing, you just need to start writing..

[osahju914]

wow. this is too f'in much. Your writing really touches several core truths in society, but at the same time your delivery is so lighthearted. Tryin to put some of whatever you have in my work, you're inspiring, keep at it. But I'm sure you've heard this all before..

[OMGitsmee92]

lmaoo this is the anthem of all dem broke bitches oout there...including me :(

[MrJoshfarren]

Im over here in england man and i really love your stuff, keep the good stuff up your amazing helping a dorky guy like me feel a little more human!!!!

[Garrnett1]

Haha this was great, if I had any money I'd buy one of your albums, that is if you have any?

[glock9amilla]

YOU KNOW A BROTHA KANT EAT......... WITHOUT MONEY

[sk8eru]

you're a true inspiration sir. from time to time i take a few minute off just so i can watch again your videos. money should search for you, not the other way.

[madSHKRILLZerrrrt]

you're very talented dude....i really enjoy your work and the way you express yourself in them keep it up

[Markusprj]

Man I love your poems big respect from Sweden!

[kjenki11]

i love it

[dawnyo1]

I love this poem! Too funny!

[sohaljatt08]

hey poetri, ur dating myself makes me feel great... lol

[florecent]

Poetri, sir, you are a fucking genius!!

[WhatE7263]

I love your poems, man. "Dating Myself" is probably my favorite, but this one always puts a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing your art!

[JMitesh]

@BigPenis1111 you got issues dissin def jam poetry, and you can just tell that by your name. trying to replace your lack of intellect with a false representation of your dick!

[classiestncali]

Just discovered Poetri today. Huge fan. Who you know give you real poetry and comedy at the same time? I'm lovin' it.

[jonboybilly]

That poem was money.

[Vicesquad305]

bruh u a talented brother, This Hood from North Miami Beach, Miami, Florida, me being a hip hop artist (one half of Vice Squad) I often watch a lot of poetry to understand poetry and apply it to what I do, u one of my fav poets, u bring positive, comical, and uplifting energy, much respect and continue doing what u do...

[mxstar267]

Lol your poems got meaning and they funny as hell +2

[Poetri]

@BigPenis1111 with a name like that, I can't take anything you say seriously.

[1313iloveyoubabe]

@BigPenis1111 ... You are one to talk...

[BigPenis1111]

def poetry is the stupidest shit ever and should not even be allowed to be called poetry, bunch of no talented black people thinking they're edgy and deep. Only stupid people would find this deep, good and meningful.

[WhatE7263]

@BigPenis1111 I guess you haven't seen all the Hispanic, Asian, European, Arab, and white poets that come on this show either, huh? Maybe you should do your homework because you shoot your mouth off. Think of this-it takes absolutely no intelligence to keep your mind closed.

[Zillacello]

@BigPenis1111 "Only stupid people would find this deep, good and meningful."

or perhaps you're just too thick to 'get it?'

Trolls like you are why Sartre once said "Hell is other people."

[heartandsoul1455]

@BigPenis1111 you must of had a terrible failing career..so sad

[Waterhousesmuse]

I used this as an example of personification with my 7th graders. Thank you for inspiring the children of NYC public schools, much love!

[TheAyisyenne]

@Waterhousesmuse Wow! Now that's a creative learning tool. Why can't more teachers be like you? Keep up the good work!

[MarsWorld23]

your natural creativeness is uniquely amazing, the love for it flows off of you. Hence a true poet at heart. (clapclap) Thats what its all about.

[oliveirinha20]

[Chichilicous]

Omdays

U are amazin truellii..U got real talent.

XD

[gmoney381]

Yo this is one of my favorite pieces from you!!

[Poetri]

Wow. Really? I don't even know you, bruh. Why would you insist on speaking negative about a person that is trying be positive in life. I can only come to the conclusion that you must live and be a very negative person. I hope that I said that as inarticulate as possible.

[spiritualseeker02]

i love your poems forget the haters

[KellZ616]

fuck you..all forms of poetry are art. if it comes from the heart than its just as good as what you consider "poetry." and all that racist shit needs to stop. its 2009 get over it please. i bet if someone made a poem about the KKK and how good theyve been to white folks youd call it "poetry." i dont need to say much more because you finished yourself when you made that ignorant comment. Nmind sends his regards.

[29psalm]

@KellZ616 don't give energy to ignorant people who think that poetry is limited to Elizabeth Barett Browning, Bronte, Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Frost and others that we were forced to read. now we spit what we want...and those who can't appreciate are not even racist, they are just pathetic individuals. but i agree with you 110%!

[KellZ616]

@29psalm true. thank you for the insight. i appreciate it. and yes...poetry has expanded and became more complex in its own right.

[peaceun2u2003]

You don't even know him. Maybe you should go to one of his events then you can judge and see what type of man he is. He is a very positive person. I have never heard him being ignorant or ghetto EVER. He has his own business and is doing very well for himself and his family. YES, he is great with his family and unlike someone Ghetto, he is keeping his together and taking care of his kids. He is a MAN, more man than you will ever be. Maybe you should look in the mirror and ask what neege mean.

[sullivenomous]

Lolhypocrisy. You don't know ME, and yet you're passing judgements on me. Not that I think there's anything wrong with that, I'm just pointing out how ironic it is, considering you jumped on me for my judgements.

Fail.

[Poetri]

Uhhhh...what?

[huss0083]

I don't know YOU but I feel comfortable in passing judgment in that I think you're a moron for the last comment you made about this poet. Was that a FAIL? Moron.

[Poetri]

Woa...thanks,

[huss0083]

This is one of my favorites. keep it up Poetri.

[maiyatempleton]

LOVE IT!

[J3w3llly]

LoLZZ! Where did MoNeY go!!

[Kuruptedboi]

[bigvador]

[mlt021]

i don't think you get it.

[bigvador]

i get it but think of it as a different story

[beatricebell23]

[COCOABC123]

[Ammo1174]
