George Watsky performs 'Carry the One' at Greenbuild

[publiusdg]

This is more than a poem, it's addressing the horrible pollution in California(which is one of the most polluted states, look it up), and how it is being ignored or put onside for future generations. He is preaching for humanism, people coming together to work for a better society.

But as i read all these comments its easy to see the majority of his audience is full of ignorant people who don't understand or give a fuck. This world will never change.

[Mtierney21]

Just to make this clear, this poem isn't about weather

[skull2700]

what are you saying



[MuRKiinCooNz]

Daamn

[WiskeyDickBomber]

This sucked

[Adamurquhart]

Ignore MAXCRAP. He/She/It is an ignorant troll that is a disgrace to whichever race gave it face. See? THAT'S bad poetry. I can rap all clap-trap, waiting for a golf clap, pimpin' no hoes that aren't bitch slapped. While we're free to disagree, your ignorance sears intelligence away like the sun does morning dew. Your Darwin Award awaits such stupidity and prays for lucidity that you lack from front to back... which, I guess, could be where your girls are at? Either way.. he's a dick.

[SolomonDrew]

This is better than DUBSTEP

[chazattic]

51 people forgot to carry the one

[MAXRAP101]

he CAN DO RAP in  MARS maybe- in this planet ONLY 1 white rapper and 50 millon black rapperS-WACK WHite trash trying to be eminem NO TALENT -fast reading poetry is not rap U DUMB ASS

[swingingdead69]

@MAXRAP101 poetry is not rap? you do realize that rap is poetry? You should look up a show called Def Jams hosted by Mos Def (now Yasim Bay). i don't know why i'm replying to your comment, it makes no sense

[THC4ME1]

@MAXRAP101 You have no idea how stupid you sound do you???.... bahahahaahaha

[Souran123]

thats nothing. in summer arizona can get up to 120 degrees

[Vveronski]

@Souran123 That's not the point. lol.

[DRDINOKING]

I never get poetry but i digress..

[choochinkaddywompus]

yeah watsky vermont trees all day long BTV LOVES WATSKY, COME TO UVM

[nevereatapanda]

He sounds like my preacher. Except I would have sex with Watsky....

[LeftBehindForDead]

When poets have to look good on TV, poetry dies.

[LeftBehindForDead]

Didactic.

[TheROLLINGPIX]

Wow is an understatement

[trevishot]

I usually like his stuff but this one is just annoying!!

[jonasbechtold]

@trevishot Troll!

[massiveskills1]

Far too few views...

[mike42ohio]

Good one Watsky. I like your poems better without the cursing. Plus mad props for opening up for WJClinton.

[cryptickiller1]

All I want to say is when it was first released "Global Climate Change" is what the scientists found, the media focused on "Global Warming" but that is only part of the picture.

[thekingvladimir]

wow now that was some serious shit.........

[quiqueando03]

oh sorry i left those 2 long comments down there. i just got a little caught up in the moment.

[pootermarie]

George Watsky = Amazing

[Ilovewatsky]

I love you.

[quiqueando03]

... and yet you still say change is good. if change is so good then why are people dying, why can't people experience the same things that our ancestors have felt. snow at your window in the winter, warmth in the spring, heat that we can bear in the summer, wind in the fall. and if you truly do not like his poem then you truly love telling your kids and grandkids something that they may never know. you must not have a heart but a black pit filling that space to hate. -sandy mejia

[quiqueando03]

watsky writes truly the best poems that makes you cry and cry and cry. listening to this makes me want to scream beacuse i too know the change that is and will happen and too fear to explain the same things to my children and grandchildren about fog about snow. if even i wish to know what snow is like i can only imagine how hard it will be for them to bear. change people might say is good, but they don't realize how we will take it. to know that people die beacuse of change and yet you still say

[sabbagha18]

"It's hot today and you could fry an egg on the hood of our karma."

Damn.

[Tinderboxing]

The deeper messages here are incredible. If you want to understand more, youtube search the titles Esoteric Agenda, Kymatica, 2012:The online movie final update.

[Atuchy]

This is honestly my favourite poem of all time. I go to college in the States in a year and if I can see Watsky - especially if I can see Watsky performing this poem - I will be so incredibly happy.

[sn1pe352]

What Sky for Life

[MrBord2death]

DARN,,, almost first!!!!

[bonesraphs]

I hope the audience didn't get hurt when their jaws dropped.

[lightlessfirefly]

Its ultimately sad and depressing to see and hear about how many people in our world don't care or know enough to care about whats happening. Watsky has some good points in there and I guess 47 people are either in denial or ignorant. if u dont know what those words mean u should look it up cuz I have reason to believe its half the world.

[Ilovewatsky]

This is why i love watsky. He is a great rapper but I love his poetry. Watsky, you inspire me.

[AyoJayArr]

I was there, no one clapped or applaused (those are probably the same action)

[TheGillenium]

I know man, that's why the humans on Venus went extinct. Their leaders explained to them they had to decrease flatulence in order to prevent methane emissions, but they just didn't listen. They had to pass the gas. Subsequently the greenhouse proceeded to lock them in. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do. Now the venutians are all gone. Sad story.

[blissfullyAmit]

@TheGillenium Cool story bro. Publish it and send me the book. I will use it to balance my table.

[mdiem]

@gtg489p

The "hoax" was a hoax, dummy.

SMH

[VraiDave]

i wish i coulda heard the cheering afterwards that was surely massive once the audience got their jaws off the floor.

[Zombies8MyXbox]

Watsky!

[MysticGrant]

July-August heatwave broke 9000 heat records.

[ThePupis123]

he just pulls you in , amazing..., i don't have any other words...

[TheManTheMyth13]

Free Form poems dont, the can rhyme on line and have no rhymes the next

[RoboticRejection]

im not sure if that was supposed to rhyme or not

[iWinRar]

@RoboticRejection its a poem, poems do not need to rhyme unlike most people think for whatever reason.

[dutchdude1985]

@iWinRar To be precise he is a spoken word artist that happens to be better at rapping then most Bling Bitch Gats Doe or Rim artist.

[iWinRar]

@dutchdude1985 very true.

[MAXRAP101]

@iWinRar yeah right - and just ANOTHER STUPID wack MUTHA FUCKA trying to be EMINEM -this guy is so wack WORDS CANT EXPLAIN

[mdman237]

@MAXRAP101 Um...I think I saw you post the same thing on one of his other vids. If you don't like him stop watching his stuff. You may not notice this but he's not even rapping in this one...

[Vveronski]

@MAXRAP101 Trying to be eminem?? He's not trying to be anyone. His style is NOTHING like eminem's. Its better :D

[publiusdg]

@Vveronski He reminds of eminem, 10 years ago. When i idolized him. But he changed his style.

He definitely is nothing like the eminem today. And the fucking dumbass(Maxrap101) who implies that only because he is white and has skills, is the " wack mutha fucka" for only knowing how to hate.

[betsymoss123]

@MAXRAP101 trying to be eminem? do u see him with a sign saying "im eminem" do u hear him talking about his fucked up child hood? NOPE so shut it

[MAXRAP101]

@iWinRar A GAY CHICKEN fast READING POETRY- what a wack MUTHA FUCKA

[publiusdg]

@MAXRAP101 Dude shut the fuck up with your fuking ignorant talk. If you have no fucking idea what he's speech was about, do everybody a favor and keep your hateful idiotic comments to yourself.

Fucking poor, deprived, closed-minded, arrogant, misanthropic, unhappy, piece of shit you. The perfect example of today's hopeless society make-up.

[scorpionfights]

herp derp 3 warm years in a row, GL0b4l warming zomg im 12!@#!

[SyreenInSapphire]

@scorpionfights

Wow, the warmth isn't really the point. It's the massive amount of tropical storms and generally abnormal weather across the globe. It's been changing over decades. The fact that you can use the term "herp derp" for people who believe in global climate change simply means that you haven't studied the topic enough to see that there is reasonable evidence, whether you believe it or not.

[DatsVatSheSaid]

this guy should get a damn talkshow

[dnlbraden]

@DatsVatSheSaid or any show for that matter.

[ceaserowns1]

@XsupermageX8

120 degrees sounds rediculous. Coming from the bay like Watsky, 95 is lay inside or in the pool temperature. Not worth doing anything else haha.

[Mdsbluesky]

@XsupermageX8 dude the point is it's not suppose to be that hot here, that's the point. CLIMATE CHANGE IS HAPPENING<

[zace98]

so sick! Watsky is the shit

[GiantFuzzyPenguin]

he must start a church. i would go everyday.

[nsasukes]

if you dont get this please shoot yourself -_-

[CoolDude526100]

i feel like im at church the only difference is this isnt boring



[MadameAthena]

all bow down to the watsky

[cellur111]

I dont get it

[TheInfamousTomato]

I love how there was no cheering during that entire thing b/c no one could get their jaw off the floor. Watsky, you are AMAZING!!

[SoundofMusic8]

Can I get the words to this? PLEASE AND THANK U

[Atuchy]

It doesn't matter how many times I watch this, it's beautiful every time. This is just such a wonderful power and you are amazing and so inspirational.

[newbies4u]

To tell my children what snow was like,

its hot today.... but its cold at night?

[Thiscrapsannoying]

95 degrees?

its that temperature here in Texas.

In the winter.

Beautiful poetry though. :D

[LoganSpice]

Obviously the Earth's climate is rising, and people definably Aren't helping. However, saying that we are the sole cause of "global warming' is uneducated and ignorant. The Earth's temp. is a steady cycle. Over the 6 billion years of the Earth's existence we've only been recording the temperature consistently for the past 150 years. There have been two ice ages (meaning the global climate got really cold) and both ended (meaning it got warm again). The temps. are getting higher, but its natural

[TehConqueror]

@LoganSpice us being naturally flushed out still seems pretty bad

if global warming is natural and if carbon emissions help that process would it not be to our advantage to not help the world kill us

[MrBalloonHands526]

@LoganSpice we are not the SOLE cause of global warming, but I would say we are the sole cause of mass resource destruction and huge pollution problems. Even though the earth does go through all kinds of cycles, usually these cycles happen on a geological scale, in millions of years. the rapid nature of global warming/ related climate change is our fault, no doubt.

[mdiem]

@LoganSpice

Right, except that now the only explanation for the quickly exponentially rising temperature is human output of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. "Sole cause?" No, you're right. Main cause? Yes, unfortunately.

I appreciate your optimism, but human-caused global warming is real, it is happening, and there now isn't much we can do about it.

[Nervjiggy]

@mdiem It's called summer bro.

[leavetoday]

@Nervjiggy

How hot was summer 10 years ago? That's his point, bro.

[mdiem]

@Nervjiggy

Your ignorance is offensive.

Yeah, it's Summer, and it is only Summer. Winters aren't cold enough anymore in the northern hemisphere to add ice to the arctic. Polar caps are receding. Check the satellite data.

And people talking about how much snow they're getting in winter.. you wanna know why there is so much snow? Snow is precipitation of water. How did all that water get in the sky? Oh right, higher than usual evaporation due to increased air and ocean temperature.

[gredangeo]

@mdiem I was gettin' tired of winter anyways. What's the worse that can happen?

[mdiem]

@LoganSpice

No, it's not natural now. The primary driver of record high (and record rate of increase of) temperatures is man-made. Every other possibility has been ruled out. The science is pretty well settled on this one. Natural cycles happen over tens of thousands to millions of years, not decades and centuries like we're measuring now.

Get your head out of the sand, and help save yourself.

[Fantasy23Legend]

That is some deep shit right there.

[MrPer1993]

Awesome! I actually got chills :O <3

[pharaohoftheincubi]

why is he talking like that though...?

[jwb4291]

@pharaohoftheincubi talking how?

[HesamoFIreAngel]

sounds like he's having a panic attack while preaching the loward.... you know.. the black god

[cenafrk]

@HesamoFIreAngel WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?

[chrisdrakekaka]

@HesamoFIreAngel what the fuck are you talking about?

[HesamoFIreAngel]

@chrisdrakekaka uh... just pay attention to the video is all i'm saying =D... oh lawdy XD

[SIRSPLICE]

why is a tutorial for a giant octopus a related video

[axelgrind]

@SIRSPLICE You must always be prepared

[k2skisrcool09]

Karma means... well karma! Those of you that think recycling is pointless... if you dont fel the need to take care of your planet, well your planet will not take care of you! We will have all of you ignorant people to thank for the apocalypse!

[OrignialThief]

@k2skisrcool09 And those who arent ignorant as well. Everyone pollutes even those who like to think recycling is enough. Even YOU. Unless you are dead you will always pollute. This world is dying there is no more help and we have all of mankind to thank for that NOT just the ignorant.

[k2skisrcool09]

Anyone that is hating on this... YOUR THE REASON THIS PLANET IS IN SHAMBELS!!! Weather you like poetry or not if you don't get this messege you deserve to die in the apocalypse 12.21.2012!!!

[MrsFrogdidou1405]

[JRocker921]

[Sarhok]

@JRocker921

But on his channel, rapping is not his main activity

[Sarhok]

i guys! I'm french, and I'd like to know who is this guy? And why is he known and famous, because he makes some differents performs. Thanks :)

[Sarhok]

i guys! I'm french, and I'd like to know who is this guy? And why is he known and famous? Thanks :)

[sasfubar]

FAG!

[SavantOnASpinet]

@sasfubar I didn't know they had mirrors on Youtube.

[rvdwwe456]

@sasfubar shut up he can rap and be a poet. all you do is upload videos of you playing games no life much?

[sasfubar]

@rvdwwe456 lol, butt-hurt much!

[WenonahB]

@TheShallowAbyss

It's like how people say it's so hot you can fry an egg on the hood of your car.

[littleonekk]

Michigan football games <3

[TheShallowAbyss]

i dont understand the "fry an egg on the hood of our karma" part

[danielalmmm]

It's called spoken-word @newbinator24

[newbinator24]

I love the Irony of him not rhyming . On top of all the meaning of all he says! He expresses the liberal and conservatism beliefs.. mutality

[MyTornado12]

I'm don't even like poetry but this guy is a genius and this was very well put together. Who cares if there were flaws. I will never forget this speach.

[colinm7919]

His lips are off from the words...just saying

[SuperMoonJelly]

@colinm7919 so what do you think he did? record it and play it back? haha its a live performance.

[colinm7919]

@SuperMoonJelly that is actually a very common thing that happens. 

[SuperMoonJelly]

@colinm7919 but it's not like he's singing.

[colinm7919]

@SuperMoonJelly you can still record the voice and play it back later. Its not just a technique for singing

[HurricaneMatt09]

chills bro chills



[SyreenInSapphire]

I had to come back. That last comment wasn't good enough. And none of my words will be enough when compared to yours, so I would ask you to find the words for me, but they're already here playing back at me.

[SyreenInSapphire]

That was absolutely brilliant!

[mac001texas]

ah yes. anyone besides other poets?

[ThinkTwiceNow]

@mac001texas we're all poets in a way, aren't we?

[mac001texas]

@ThinkTwiceNow definitely not.

[ThinkTwiceNow]

@mac001texas well in that case, one would be able to listen to the message he's putting across showing interest in what kids like these have to say.

[mac001texas]

so yea who the fuck buys tickets to stuff like this?

[420jdb]

@mac001texas I would. All he's doing is expressing poetry and poetry is unique no matter how it's put. He just performs his poetry in different ways and he is truly a brilliant writer. As a poet myself I find it intriguing to listen to others read poetry, perform poetry, and love reading poetry others have written and posted.

[Ford4Lyfe7]

"Carry The One" he's gonna make the history books. Bone up teachers. You'll be teaching the world about Watsky some decades from now.

[finepoint6]

is he athiest?

[taylornkastner]

Wow this makes no cents. Carry the one? This dudes nuking futz!

[Bmule112]

@taylornkastner Really? You mean sense fuckwad.

Go back to school retard.

[chriscobonham]

@taylornkastner Hey there Glenn Beck

[419218]

[DangoTeff]

@cascadeBruthas thank you, unless thats sarcastic :3

[cascadeBruthas]

@DangoTeff ...um yea it kinda was

[DangoTeff]

@cascadeBruthas well im obviously smarter than the kid who said he should be the next president.

[AveNoctis]

@419218

[chrissnedeker]

@419218 u have to b 35 but if he was yes

[Sternoproductions]

lol that jacket was on modern family. it was the one the father wore even though everyone said it was a girl's jacket.

[blackbelt72]

He sounds a bit constipated, what's the big deal?

[markustheaters]

this is absolutely brilliant.

[aidanctam]

its funny how the 2 most self explanatory lines in the poem are the ones most "liked" by the people of youtube... what about the lines that are actually amazing?

[MissCountryChloe]

I'm used to it, I live in Texas.

[geothedude26]

he sounds like asher roth

[AlexanderHamilton201]

who paid this guy to advertise for al gore?

[RTLthings]

"Gorgeous lemonade weather, but it to will sour gorgeous" amazing. his poetry is far greater than his rap
