rue but i think it has more to do with relatabilty. Like Hariet tubman, malcolm x, and martin are why we have what we have today but since the younger generation have had it all of our lives we take it for granted. Since tupac and biggie are more recent and spoke about more current problems like desperation in bad neigborhoods we who are younger dont fully relate with those paved the way.
yoyo if you love poetry and wanna share your words with the world, i've made a page on facebook called "potent poetry" where peeps can share each others poems. please visit!! RIP Will "Da Real One" Bell.
OK TO ALL THE OLD PEOPLE WHO I AM SURE DON'T EVEN LIKE RAP THEY NOT CLAPPING CAUSE THEY WISH HE HAD ONLY SAVED PAC THEY CLAPPED ABOUT LEAVING WHATS HIS FACE IN THE CAR AND PEOPLE SAY YOUNG PEOPLE STUPID
years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand;sorry i didnt want that happening to me
Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
I don't know what happen and the reason for this tragedy, but I'm tired of hearing of something positive turn so bad is this what it has come to. Black on Black foolishness killing people out of what. His words are spoken with strength and the nigga's were the one chasing him. Cause they saw a Black man walking so they hated it. They always want to see Black people running as nigga's did
so who's screaming run nigga run only nigga's who hate black people walking now
He died. :( I was just thinking I would love to see him perform. RIP. I hope your kickin in heaven with Pac, Martin Luther King, Malcom X, Harriet Tubman, and Biggie Smalls.
all the poets screamed "RUN! RUN! RUN!" as they carried him away. I wasnt there that night but I heard. :( I miss you will. a lot. Thank you for giving me a place on your stage and heart. I will never forget how you touched me as a mentor and writer. <3
hadn't heard of this dude til yesterday when i heard he was murdered. my heart goes out to him & his people. once again i'm ashamed to be white. this piece was awesome. r. i. p. Mr. Bell, hope to meet u in the next life.
Two years ago I watch this poem - looking for a place to start my own journey of writing. Thank you for giving me something to look up to. I may have never met , never introduced myself to you, and never have looked you up since then : but i thank you.
This was the first poem I heard Will perform and every since then I loved his form of poetry. It made me write from my heart and not just from my mind. You're gone physically but your words are forever left in the hearts of those who were blessed to hear them.
You don't have to run anymore Will ...... may your soul rest in the light . I have never heard poetry like his , he was so unique . The world lost a soldier last night .
this is one of the best i've seen on def poetry jam. His purity is so amazing that i find myself following him through time, as though I am right there with him. Continue making this brother/king Will Da Real One. Hotep!
dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name will appear
@rassclaat23 yeah okay, but can you think of anyone out today that has even half of the "good willed" songs Tupac had? Back then music had a story, now its just ALL straight ignorant shit.
@BobOndeese21 common... talib kweli... lol... shoot. they keep it more respectful than Pac. haha pac was like J. Cole. Said nigga alot, said bitch alot... but had his moments of pure poetry and human compassion.
PAC was the last hip hop artist to carry on pieces of the movement in his music and that's not the focus of the poem. He sd several other incidences so not sure why ppl are tripping on it. It was a beautiful piece of work
I dont believe in God, but the part where he says, "because today this is the only god damn jesus that Im willing to die for" I am in love with this quote.

how do you liken street thugs like 2pac and biggie to Heroes that changed society like Medger Evers, MLK, Malcolm X? realistically speaking what everyone stood for that he brought up they would hate those two they were men of god 2 reverends and a Muslim.
2pac and Biggie would have changed the world if the world would have allowed them to live longer. I think the world would have let them live longer, if everybody else in the poem had lived. Malcolm X was a thug too when he was younger. I saved 4 little girls not know what they were growing up to be. 2pac may not have been a hero to you or me but he was one to the streets. Hope you all understand now ;o)
@willdarealone first they were grown men not teenagers 2pac and biggie would have done nothing other than serve there own personal interest, like all thugs. Mr. X was an anamily the exception to the rule. second if you really want to get into it Mr. X didnt do anything for the world until he went to mecca and learned everything about the nation of Islam was hog wash and racist. at best he was a influence to men that would make change he made none himself.
@willdarealone also friend the "street" looks up to drug dealers and blame the white man for the ills in our community. more reason we as black Americans should distance ourselves from people such as 2pac.
@willdarealone one last thing dont think i didn't notice your use of miss direction. i am talking about two gangster rappers that received the fate of gangsters, an early death. i never stated anything ill agent the peace as a whole. i want that to go on record, and if you feel i am slamming the peace i am sorry. but thugs and human rights advocates are two different beast that should never be lumped together. you wouldnt put Stanly Williams and Gandhi together would you?
@hs41982 - 1second!! so just because i was trying to write shortened you assume that i'm trying to be "cool" and that I'm "uneducated"? Are you patrolling youtube for any spelling mistakes?
@hs41982 Not up for public debate so you can seem intelligent, my poem period. If you don't care for it then write one that satisfy you? If you really care to understand the mind-set that created this piece then feel free to contact me privately I realize that there is a very strong possibility that its not really understanding most people seek, other than to just fuel a disliking for something they lack, like the ability to create and have it appreciated. I'll be waiting for your call :o)
@willdarealone i like the peace, i just don't understand how you see Dr. King, Mr. X, and the others you mentioned in the same light as one womanizing convected rapist that abused drugs and promoted black on black crime. as well as the other part of what you stated yes this is true about critics, but without critics how could an artist grow? we should except anything that falls out of your mouth due to the fact it rhymes and what would be completed by a call to yourself from myself?
2pac and biggie were no role models...dei jus promoted drug use, sexual misbehaviour , degrading of women and violence fru deir music... speciali tupac who had no self control or gentleman like atributes. dei r over glorified artisits in an era where rap n hip hop were at da top, which in turn influenced millions of lil youts , not on positives tings like having a decent education , respect of women/men and positive atitude....instead jus negativity...den 2pac prerecords "changes". Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Mr. X was an anamily the exception to the rule. second if you really want to get into it Mr. X didnt do anything for the world until he went to mecca and learned everything about the nation of Islam was hog wash and racist. at best he was a influence to men that would make change he made none himself.

@willdarealone also friend the "street" looks up to drug dealers and blame the white man for the ills in our community. more reason we as black Americans should distance ourselves from people such as 2pac.

@willdarealone one last thing dont think i didn't notice your use of miss direction. i am talking about two gangster rappers that received the fate of gangsters, an early death. i never stated anything ill agent the peace as a whole. i want that to go on record, and if you feel i am slamming the peace i am sorry. but thugs and human rights advocates are two different beast that should never be lumped together. you wouldnt put Stanly Williams and Gandhi together would you?

@hs41982 - 1second!! so just because i was trying to write shortened you assume that i'm trying to be "cool" and that I'm "uneducated"? Are you patrolling youtube for any spelling mistakes?

@hs41982 Not up for public debate so you can seem intelligent, my poem period. If you don't care for it then write one that satisfy you? If you really care to understand the mind-set that created this piece then feel free to contact me privately I realize that there is a very strong possibility that its not really understanding most people seek, other than to just fuel a disliking for something they lack, like the ability to create and have it appreciated. I'll be waiting for your call :o)

@willdarealone i like the peace, i just don't understand how you see Dr. King, Mr. X, and the others you mentioned in the same light as one womanizing convected rapist that abused drugs and promoted black on black crime. as well as the other part of what you stated yes this is true about critics, but without critics how could an artist grow? we should except anything that falls out of your mouth due to the fact it rhymes and what would be completed by a call to yourself from myself?

2pac and biggie were no role models...dei jus promoted drug use, sexual misbehaviour , degrading of women and violence fru deir music... speciali tupac who had no self control or gentleman like atributes. dei r over glorified artisits in an era where rap n hip hop were at da top, which in turn influenced millions of lil youts , not on positives tings like having a decent education , respect of women/men and positive atitude....instead jus negativity...den 2pac prerecords "changes". Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

@skeenaration English please! this is too hard to read i am not sure if you are speaking in a "cool" way (uneducated) or German.

@skeenaration hardly, but if people cannot understand what you are typing. what is the point of the statement? it is a practice of fleetingness.
