I'm really glad this video was made, it gives awareness and shows that we still have people aware of the situations that are not being televised! Keep spreading the word!

  • @TurtalTheManWife WORD! (And thanks for sharing - much appreciated).

  • @bbasslmco Thank you! Please help spread the word.

  • Seriously Ronnie! This is exceptional

  • @turnawry Word!

  • Why hasn't the scrutiny of this video been democratised? Its views need to be exponentialised.

  • Wow! Very, very smart! I couldn't agree more.

    The devil is no longer in the detail. The devil is in the digital.

  • I love it 

  • This must be some kind of mistake.

    This is too high of quality,

    too raw of reality

    and too devoid of banality

    for the likes of YouTube.

    This must be some kind of mistake.

  • @ProPodder Word.

  • @ProPodder this is HBO Def Poetry worthy. Everyone thinks he's joking... this is RAW. He went in.

  • I agree, brilliant and thanks for putting this on here.

  • RIP GSH

  • Gil Scott Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

  • Brilliant! Kudos!

  • Eye opening video. For the record, I first saw this video in class here in Atlanta, Ga yesterday. Your words are spreading brother.

  • I thought this was gonna be about those naked scanners at the airport.

  • Brilliant, best thing I have seen in a long time.

  • @ulysses1904 Much appreciated. Please help spread the word!

  • This is fantastic! And from a fellow Bahamian living overseas too. Well done Ronnie!

  • @wprm1 Ah, thanks man!

  • "Now I believe there is still oil at the bottom of the Gulf...let me repeat. I believe they are still rebuilding in New Orleans. Let me reTWEET I believe there are still people dying in our streets...but the photos of your junk...#priorities"

    Word!

    It's either the human nature or the press that causes us to not keep our eyes on real problems permamently but just for moments and then move to the next highlight.

    It's sad. And it's good you remind people about it in a delightfully artistic way.

  • Wow. Awesomeize.

  • Way good, sir.

  • @jeremiahjacobs Thank you.

  • @komakurabe Thank you.

  • Amazing!

    

  • @Goldthunder Thanks to you and everyone for taking the time to comment - much appreciated. Please spread the... WORD! :)

  • digg with 2 G's got me loling

  • @lifeliked that's one of my favs too...

  • Saaaa-weeet! Deserving of a a tweet and a stumble for these words so truthful and humble.

  • Absolutely love this and it is even more powerful if you are familiar with "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised"

  • Unless you're me. Then you'll just be ignored.

  • Haha - so true!! #hilarious!

  • This is really bad.

  • I did something in the same vain a few months earlier with acknowledgement to Gil Scott-Heron at the end. Check it out 15 Minutes that goes after the petty nonsense on the fame of no talent.

  • Right On!

  • That's some good shiznit!

  • great job! 

  • Smooooooth... Wraps it all up into one smooth move.

  • Not the most original bit of youtube, but at least you made an effort. Gil Scott still relevant maybe people will read/listen to what inspired you. Seems like a parody at worst. :(

  • Very good point...I think we can find EVERYTHING on google---good and bad---and in some countries our JUNK is not available. Tela-vangilize...LOL...excelle­nt! And tweet tweet---yeah! This issue is MASSIVE and we're all part of it...but as long as we're aware.....we can implement some safeguards to protect us.

  • good stuff. Doesn't avoid the irony that it'll get famous (if it does)...on social networks..

  • @goattreeanimals - Ur right and if this video goes viral..which I have shared it with some peeps as well, guess what? The writer (Ronnie Butler) will ride the wave to success and change up his lyrics to make them 'acceptable' and make that CASH! Part of the game.

  • Word!

  • I had been asleep for so long, thank you for awaking me to the world we live in.

    FFL!nR Fight For Life not RIGHTS!

  • Right on! 

  • Great Job!!! 

  • I'm sorry, what did this video say? I was busy looking for pictures of Beyonce's baby on the Internet... just kidding! Loved this! Thanks Ron and nice to tweet-meet you!

  • REALNESS

  • Guys become dicks because once upon a time, when they were nice guys, a girl they loved took a big dump inside their heart. Simple as that!

  • WORD.

  • @H204Real indeed...

  • is anoyne up?

  • Is that Lady Chablis in the video?

  • @jonohaz1981 That is the incomparable Mr. Ralph Cole Jr.

  • Beyond incisive...beyond bland, beyond pap, beyond the boundry by simple reminding that a new one exists..at the touch of a fingertip. RESPECT. Great piece of work, cat. Am FAN.

  • @MYSTRtreefrog1 Many, many thanks.

  • Oh yeah#

    

  • is this an Apple ad?

  • thumbs up if you think this should go viral

  • You. Rock!

  • @boybandreject00 Thank you man.

  • I want more people to see this. Awesome!

  • @kirinrex haha, thank you!

  • very well done, watched it 3 times in a row!

  • @58m Thank you!  We're trying to spread the word, and appreciate any help..:)

  • I've been waiting to hear something this poignant in a poetic form for so long, I love it. Absolutely brilliant.

  • @SocialEntropyX Thank you!

  • Wow! Dead on today's world. Sad but true. Creative wake-up call, Ronnie. I'm convinced we would have enlightening conversations. NWO may be reality but so is the raised consciousness of an ever growing number of individuals who keep moving towards ever imaginative ways to simply sustain truth.

  • SO ON POINT!!

  • Ronnie, you are a genius performer! Thanks for this. I have shared the hell out of it!

  • @ferroprods1 Thank you sir - that means so much coming from you. And thank you for sharing.

All this, while still able to musically, mezmorize us with your meaningful message! Thoroughly Impressed! yet truthfully not surprized! (on a lighter note, if memory serves
