My house was in the paper in Salt Lake City, Utah, 1983 floods, many people died it was the deseret news, the water tables were raising like 25 feet per day or less, it was bad, Luckily my home was raised high, and not much damage, but the water was so polluted that we had to get hep b shots or go to jail after and the rats were horrible, lots of damage, and nobody helped.

fuck gay z and ne -hoe............can't believe ya'll believe they care just cuz they made a song bout YOUR struggle...................fuck them YOU stand up!
@HollywoodMadman yea but your're on an american website looking and listenin to american music duchebag! if it wasn't for america who really would give a fuck about Japan. Shut up before we drop one on yo dumbass
@jmccord100 Fuck you. White people??? Dumb arse cunt. Aint nofing to do with colour. The worlds fucked up cause nasty greedy fucks rule (from black, white and other ethnic groups), and they don't give a fuck about anyone or anything as long as it don't affect THEM. They walk over anyone that stands in their way. What president bush did was unforgivable. Is not about race anymore, its about a class of people that think they are special and can do what they want.
..soon as people see that, things might change. We got to educate the people but they got everyone dumbed up, with shitty schools (unless you got money), again shitty hospitals, transport, houses, food, unless you have money.the rich get richer the poor get poorer, which shouldnt happen in this day an age but the gap gets bigger every year. gotta open ya eyes and educate ourselfs.what they dont want you to know is that knowlede is power.even nas knows that if u listen to him.
@85smallz we,re all wearing chains working our arses off while 'they' live all nicely not working a fucking day.so get ya self out of YOUR caveman mentality and use you head
"Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn't give my time, so in reality I didn't give a dime, or a damn." What he means by this is that even though he donated a million dollars to the red cross, it just went into the hands of the same people who just flew on by and took pictures. He's pissed off that he wasn't one of the people who actually got down into that water, who were fucking heroic to do so.
Peace and many love to all families facing the mountain, passing the mountain,
From a country named after the Roman General Scipio Africanus .. From my family in Liberia to my brethrens and sistrens in the Nawlans....May YHWH bless their souls....Bless!
Please understand that this song on the metaphysical and spiritual shells of many individuals who have felt the stints of disappointment and tragedy either from physical or mental trauma has been facing a crossroad and a vortex in their life. Some have disown God from there personal experience within a system that has been arranged with dialectic teachings and well dress lies, which knowledge was not obtain nor wisdom for them to understand.
I am so lucky to have visited new orleans before the hurricane and see its true beauty, i cannot wait to go back and to try and rebuild the city to what it once was. I'm so glad some of the people there have not lost their faith in the city, despite the crushing circumstances, new orleans is one of my favourite cities. the people seem to be very friendly and the atmosphere is happy. Some day i would love to live there. Hopefully we can continue to show everyone they can beat the odds. staystrong
Jay-Z needs to get back to music like this, him and the rest of the Hip-Hop community. Who gives a damn about how much $ you have or "b*tches" you got or jewelry!
I hate this song, I hate the imagery, I hate the feelings that occur when I hear this song. I hate it because its all real. This whole situation brought out and exposed our base desires to survive and sadly it brought out the ugliness in some of us as humans. This is only a glimpse of things to come.
Wouldn't you loot, if you didn't have the loot? Baby needed food and you stuck on the roof Helicopter swooped down just to get a scoop Through his telescopic lens but he didn't scoop you The next five days, no help ensued They called you a refugee because you seek refuge The commander-in-chief just flew by Did he stop? No, he had a couple seats Just proved jet blue he's not Jet flew by the spot What if he ran out of jet fuel and just dropped ; would have been sumtin 2 watch
wtf is this about? i am not american i know nothing i know black nor white i know sight and that is why this song is a fright in the night a blight in my sight
u big dildo, if u had a brain u'd understand that black people were not the only 1's effected by katrina. the same way that new york wasnt the only place effected on september 11th is the same way black people aren't the only people effected by katrina. use ur head and stop trynna make racist remarx. i dare u to say that shit to a katrina survivor and see if u dont end up dead floatin in sum 1's pool!!!
okej kanye said bush dosen`t care about black pepol...the resucus tried to get into the projects..but pepol were trowning stones and shootning at em...riots and shit..but okej..
on the news, they see a white guy wading through the water with food from an empty shop in his hands, the headline would be "a man finds some food for his family"...if it was a black man in that situation it would be "a black man loots from a shop despite the situation"...i'm sick of black people still being opressed
The family in the boat is me and my family. Its been almost 3yrs since I've seen this picture in Newsweek. Now I finally see it again in a got damn video. we lost everything in that damn storm,but we are still holding on. The funny thing about it is that I don't listen to rap, so I never Knew this song or this video even existed!!! Thanks to whoever uploaded this I finally got to see for myself.
