  • beautiful

  • God, if I could be black, I would like to be just like Daniel Beaty.

  • I get goosebumps EVERY time I watch this and I've posted it to my Facebook page DanDeeLion Publishing. I write books for kids to empower them to overcome adversity & challenges. My daughter is the illustrator!!! It is such an enriching experience working with your child whether you are a Mother/Daughter/Son or a Father/Son/Daughter! This just needs to be heard every now and then!!! Love you Daniel Beatty!! You speak the truth and you INSPIRE ME as a parent, author & human being! Blessings!

  • wow! im.in.awe.

  • someone has to teach the new generation...someone has to take responsibility...that someone needs to be the voices in our world...Thiz piece inspired me to make a voice for myself,for my friends, for my enemies, for my past, present, and future....

    xXxInspired

  • Immensely and impossibly masterfully poignant and powerful.

  • "profiting off our childrens neglect"

  • A contemporary tupac

  • Breathtaking........Every word that he said was so true.....we say that our children are the future....so why dont we start treating as they are.....they are valuable to us and generations to come

  • tears

  • Im only 15 but i can understand what he is talking about and his "Knock Knock" performance touches me the most

  • @thaberry2 Youre 15, you SHOULD understand what hes saying. =/

  • @franceeuropeamerica i do understand

  • @thaberry2 My point. I dont get why you added youre 15. Has no significance at all. Its expected that you understand... =| Just saying.

  • @franceeuropeamerica well i wanted to show ppl that not teens are niggas so yea it has no signifigance that u replied to my comment =/

  • @thaberry2 Yeah OK. Doesnt matter. Later.

  • @pawer2dapandas What do you mean with your question? I'm just curious. No judgment here. I am in no place to judge another. None of us are. One Love!!

  • im GONNA GO SEE HIM ON FRIDAY AND THIS MAKES ME WANT TO GO EVEN GO EVEN MORE WHEN I ALREADY DECIDED I WANT TO GO! HE IS SO ENTHUSIASTIC AND ENTERTAINING,,HOPE I GET HIS AUTOGRAPH!!

  • Look at GOD.....what GOD has done.....

  • He just performed at my college yesterday and it was great, I got to speak to him and even got his autograph.

  • He is a legend in the making. just brilliant!

  • *Snap**Snap* I am so inspired by his energy, his flow, and his whole performance.

    How much does it cost to see that live? Or request a performance?

  • Daniel Beaty speaks with refreshing authenticity and truth. Wouldn't it be nice if his name became a "household word" in our lifetime.

  • Man, I love how this brother puts it down. Check out his other videos on Youtube. Another very powerful and moving work from Daniel Beaty...Brilliant!

  • I have yet to find one of his poems that I haven't fallen in love with in an instant. =]

  • WOW...truly profound!!

  • Well done sir. I find it too common that spoken word just knocks on "the man". Beaty did a good job of finding someone fresh to knock.

  • ehhh, I give it a C... just kidding

  • HudsonsDirtCheap...relax...lea­ve the poetry to those who know how.

    Daniel B...legend!

  • BigUp. When he gets going, he REALLY gets GOING!

  • and from influence from the creator i know that no Bloodline holds Glorification over any others .. we are all one in the same ...Free will holds us all responsible for every action .. If we do not come together then we will die alone ..inside each of us is the key of guidance to prosper . if you cannot forgive your enemy then you shall not be granted forgiveness from the most high..mistakes are made by all forgiveness is granted by few .. amen

  • i am a beaty not beattie or beatty or battie .. it comes from a bloodline of Christ and Abraham and King David.. It came to America from the French Canadian and Originated out of persecution from France..my family has a 1900 year old scroll that transends from the name Sinclair.. and my great grandfather is in possession of a family tree script that goes back 6000 years .

  • WOW ... this man is sooo deep its rediculous ... the message --- priceless i pray his message reaches the masses

  • im inlove...

  • this guy truly has a great gift and im glad he shares it and knows how 2 tap into it.

  • poor black man, poor white man poor jew, poor china man, the stink of humankind has reached the heavens. and the time has come to deal with the unjust, and free the morloc from his pits. so that time can b counted till the end.

  • I love me some Daniel Beaty...He's my man for real!

    Hope for the Youth! Always

  • I don't know much about poems or poets, but this is the greatest poem I have ever heard in my life...I hope his message reached some people out there...he touched my soul in ways I cannot describe...it was SPECTACULAR!!

  • MLK, type speaker great

  • Thank you my brother for tapping into that eternal ancestral spirit that connects us to ourselves. Bravo and Touche!

    You are a vessel...keep receiving-keep pouring...

  • connect, reconnect!!!! we need more of this type of stuff man, 4 real

  • This brother and more out there, have been trying to break this sinister divide. Its seems dark has been the ruler over light. Black folks have been the light for a long time with a common cause but we let "ourselves" get away from ourselves"

    This young is extension of WE & ME & YOU.

    Dont ever forget that this a cycle of life and he was here before!
