Terrorist Threat - Steve Coleman (Def Jam Poetry)

[wadza9mystic]

HARD!!!

[coltz50]

dope white boy

[mbmanbat]

Ok first we are the next threat we decide how powerful we can be, second school doesn't really teach you any thing but how to be a slave for this fucked country, and last praise Jesus

[akid113090]

I love this guy !!! The truth was revealed !!!

[74choppzilla]

way deep!



[Kegis95]

I love how most people love this poem, while the few hate on it. Majority rules

[NMMojavePoet]

This poem pretty much summed up my opinions about the "War on Terrorism" Now Osama bin Laden "dead" I wonder what stooge the CIA or The Boeing Corporation will stand up to be the next threat?

[ILUVJEZUZ94]

@TheOkayCommenter The Truth hurts...

[CloseYourEyesBitch]

@TheOkayCommenter He said nothing negative about the country

[jummacob]

@TheOkayCommenter you idiot

[sammyjs1983]

blah blah blah stfu....what you doing to better this country than spilling hate

[Sotoakramos]

Hands down fucking beast.

[Catrionaify]

I find it disturbing that you can learn more truths about the world and people around you from an almost 3 minute long poem than you can from 10 years in a school.

[Kritter42]

@Catrionaify This is completely true. I've been watching Def Jam videos for the last half hour, and I just found out that in the 1970's our government forced sterilization procedures on thousands of Native American women. Poets are always telling me things that my teachers never did.

[mynise8366]

Truth!!!

[degen83]

everything was right except for the bit about reparations. reparations aren't needed, the rest killed it though.

[noobbsaiboot]

the truth hurts...

[lockitkitten]

AMAZING! everyone should hear this poem!!

[tdotK1D]

lol, his voice is pretty humorous, respect though.

[DroidNoir]

RESPECT!

[Falisia11]

[MayMoon922010]

[Bravo0341]

Repreations? LOL, get the fuck outta here. All the money went to ACORN. LOL.

[msrayachanel]

this is what the world needs.. a wake up call from the white man! <3 it

[Bonethugett]

Where are all the white racist hide behind a keyboard comments on this one?? How does it feel to hear the truth come from one of your own who has SENSE, AND WISDOM ? Steve Coleman one of the best to ever do it!!

[kalex0689able]

true whiteboy

[RendezvouDoo]

yeah love this dude... He surprised me the first time I seen him like a yrs ago.. Sweet ass poem!

[Erig4life]

KILLED IT!!

[ToTheTenthPower]

That was great, but the part about reparations to me is bullcrap.

[aman69brown]

They call each other George and Dick...ahahahahhahahah

[MaMaDuKeY97]

i love people who know their history this guy spit out every untold fact in the book i love it .. ENCORE!

[JamesDTX89]

Just cause I was curious I pulled up Kesha song Blah Blah Blah to compare it to how many people viewed this video, around 13 million viewed Kesha saying Blah Blah instead of Coleman spitting real stuff. Thats crazy stupid.

[rwcwetback]

@JamesDTX89 Yeah. But on the other hand, 20,000 views and no dislikes. Truth speaks, sometimes undeniably so.

[OriginNow]

Word Up!!!

[bvc1385]

Sooo true!!

Also for that one below what more can he so than to write poetry about the people that run this country what has happened to those that protest - nothing- it his opinion about this government which a lot of people have in common at least he said something what are u doing to make a change or make yourself b e heard... What is that? NOTHING!

[shiitaco]

sorry this guy is retarded. it's hilarious people think he knows what he's talking about (the same people that eat up mos def and immortal technique's bullshit conspiracy theories). Seriously these people need to get a job in government or politics or just actually do some of the right reading and they'd shut the fuck up. Anyone can wordsmith like this, heck i could do that in high school, but what's the point if you're not really saying anything at all.

[labtennis0827]

@shiitaco Please provide list of what u consider "the right reading".

[smithsonic01]

Just Freaking Good!!!

[bopkick5]

Gracias, keev1989!!!

[kronikel86]

"They have a plan its inherited through history,

they destroyed the native tribes now each july they celebrtae their victory

instead of making things more equal they build prisons for poor people

pass out petty bids and life sentences to kids for selling weed and other sedatives

but they disregard the evedence when they select a rich white boy from texas

and declare a crack head president"

1.07-1.30 he killed it

[aldeb456]

yes he did, thanks for posting keev1989
