  • hell is far from the ghetto . in that case all the good positive people of the earth who just cant afford things are in hell and the rich n greedy who are in power n hurt people are in Heaven?? .. yeah right . just saying Heaven and hell are real because there just has to be a seperation of the good and evil

  • @chickenminecraft @CudderIsBackYall  wtf is Destorm...

  • One of the Greatest lyricist of our time. Lets do some research brothers. The books that where removed by king james where those of the templars in which men killed other men in the name of christ, but as we know thats not of GOD. He final commandment was for all of us to love one another as he loved us. I say amen to that. God Bless Brothers and may peace and love be with you.

  • i hate religion. Religion = Hate

  • See...this is what happens when people actually think. Some of the most beautiful poetry.

  • On Everything, religion is a sham.

  • Did the King James version of the bible really have chapters removed? 

  • @strattgatt yeah. alot of the books in the current bible have been tampered with

  • @AVAlon199115 Never heard of such a thing. Although of course the Apocrypha is not in it. I have heard of that.

  • can't believe some guys just know him because of Destorm.

    Talib Kweli is a legend!

  • @CudderIsBackYall whos destorm?

  • True power lies in absolute knowledge of self, I would greatly appreciate if you would take a few moments of your time to listen to some of my work and share some of your views with me. Im a 17 year old male who played football for the Jamaica u 17 national team and has traveled Europe to play as well. Music is my passion and i believe it will help me change the world dream big.

  • *****Please come show some support from my new vocal poetry page it is all original written and read by me*****

  • wow, first time ive listened to this guy, i usually listen to stuff like tech n9ne (best ever in my opinion) eminem, and new people like hopsin, kendrick lamar, b.o.b, but this is one of the best things ive ever heard

  • If He thinks that " Heaven and Hell exist right here on earth" then he is blind from the truth..

  • @SJALORBLOCKZ your wrong

  • @SJALORBLOCKZ Heaven is a metaphor for ecstasy, and hell for suffering. They are two sides of the same thing which exists in the hearts of men. Emotion, you want to find it? Look inside, and see God.

  • @synthemescthewise

    hmm intresting.. but how doo you know that he ment it as a metaphor..?

  • It's encouraging to see someone look at religion from a logical and historical perspective. It gives hope that in this new era, people are looking towards themselves, rather than an oppressive ideology for answers and love.

  • inspiring...real words bro

  • who could dislike this?

  • This is a true Hip Hop Lyricist

  • destorm

  • This is one of the best along with Shihan and Lauren Hill. I wish NaS could do one tho

  • simply AMAZING!! he delivers so intelligently! 

  • Kweli is brilliant. WIsh more were like him. <3

  • AMAZING!!!

    

  • Why im live in poland ?! FUUUU*K

  • Despite all the criticism about today's hiphop artists, there still exists some talent worth listening. But it is still so rare to find a gem like kweli where he flows so naturally and passionately. Perhaps his distinguishing feature is that he rhymes with so much depth and meaning.

  • MC's back in the day used to be poets, even without a beat, they stood out. Today, "rappers" heavily depend on beats and use cheap rhymes.

  • For those Talib Kweli fans who live in Southern California I have tickets to see him LIVE on Nov. 25th in Santa Ana for sale, they are only $20 and they are legit.

    Contact me if interested

  • Jesus was buhdist

  • wow powerful, i love how he says he glows when he rhymes

  • THANK YOU, my feelings towards religion. I do love God. That's it.

  • Holy shit.... Amazing

  • Jesus was labeled the king of the Jews but that doesn't discredit who he was (Gods Son) and what he lived to do (Die on the cross for our sins). No where in the bible does it say hate Muslims and i sure don't. Yes politicians have and will push Christianity on people and they have even killed those who denied it but that is no reflection of God who doesn't push anything on us because he a true gentlemen. But he does makes it clear there is only one way to him...through jesus!!

  • @Lilwheel08 AMEN TO EVERY WORD OF YOUR STATEMENT JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY ! BE ENCOURAGED

  • who disliked this ?

  • life is full of mericles <3

  • I am in love with this poetry jam! It makes me want to keep writing!

    If you like this video you'll love mind :)

  • "If we all made in gods image that mean his is is mine,wait or is that blasphemy,it's logical,it's has to be. If I don't look like my father then the way I live is bastardly"- Realest sh*t ever said

  • If we all made in gods image that mean his face is mine,wait or is that blasphemy,it's logical,it's has to be,if I don't look likely father then the way I

  • Give 'em hell - Talib Kweli

  • i need the lyric to this, i wanna quot this whole shit

  • O.O I was truly blown away

  • @ZeroTornado same here

  • "Maybe that's blasphemy. It's logical; it has to be."

    That's truth right there.

  • lol wanna hear a joke.

  • Unreal man. Absolute truth. Art. Inspirational. Sick!! Big up talib. IRIE

  • best poem by a rapper ever

  • Wise words...

  • ugggggggggggh! love it.

  • im speachless " If you live in the ghetto then you know it well."

  • This is some brilliant spoken poetry. I've definitely been missing out on his talent.

    "If we are all made in God's image than that means his face is mine" --- beautifully simple.

    His discourse is poetry. His thoughts and hurts beget rhymes and words.

  • So Clever

    This Is Beyond Great Talib Kweli Is A Straight Up Genius

  • this is beautiful. he has since.. iv never listened to his music but i will check him out now.

  • the song's name is '''Hell"'

  • "god forbid you go to hell, but if you ever been to any ghetto, you know it well..." Kweli speaks the truth

  • damn! the truth

  • OMG. Where is this in music??

  • Breath of fresh air compared to the last def poetry jam I just saw...very very good :)) I agree 100%

  • New artists should learn from Talib Kweli. Only news artists even remotely near this talent level are Fuze the Mc , J.Cole, and Kendrick Lamar.

  • @OKthatsimportant dont forget nas and hopsin

  • @OKthatsimportant CyHi The Prynce is up there too!

  • @OKthatsimportant are you retarded? only new artists near his talent level? Rappers like Hodgy Beats and Domo Genesis shit over the flow of J Cole or Kendrick Lamar

  • @OKthatsimportant u forgot  lupe rt

  • @OKthatsimportant and Mac Miller.

  • @OKthatsimportant Lupe Fiasco, Immortal Technique, Lowkey (UK) And Akala.

  • @OKthatsimportant heard that homie

  • @OKthatsimportant u 4got Big K.R.I.T....he's deep too

  • @003Bone. Amen to you too brother. I hope one day this world can coexist.

  • @paleriderhater he has been consistent with bringing "real" hip hop to the masses, but mainstream neglects to put anything out that doesn't fall in line with the ignorant outlook ex. cars, clothes, and hoes

  • gooooooooodamnnnnn

  • every now and then theres a big hype over some over rated rapper and i remember when talib was coming up there was a big noise surrounding his name as 1 of the few rappers whose capable of saving hip hop wit bringing the essence of what hip hop is about wit cauntiousness that up lifts its people wit hope 4 the bleak life there surrounded by and am fraud 2 say talib has not kept up[ the work rate which bought him 2 prominece as if he did we b hearing a lot more albums from him we need him bac

  • my 10th grade english teacher showed me poetry jam and im so glad she did

  • One of the realest MC's to ever exist Talib Kweli is a living legend

  • poetry, pure art, great rapper.

  • Thank you for what you said about muslims...great poet!

  • The audience didn't stand up for this poem because they were blind-blown. Their heads were heavier than the rest of their bodies.

  • Amazinggg (:

  • 121 people are just haters cause this speaks volumes of truth!

  • I just love him his powerful speakin

  • simply, amazing. <3

  • kanye can learn from Talib kweli....from kenya with LOVE

  • AMAZING!!!

  • Listen to "Give em hell - Talib Kweli" is you like this :)

  • @MrDonttalkmuch Well yeah it is just an excerpt from that song haha

  • great poem by Talib, he speaks truth!

  • Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, Black Thought & Pharoahe Monch never cease to amaze me with their consciously driven subject matter and lyrical talent. Support real Hip Hop!

  • @garretbroadnax

    Well said. Im not one for trying to get anyone to commit to my views and most people I cherish will say the same. That's why I never tried to convince anyone on my views or anyone elses.

  • Talib knows what he is doing.

  • Wow!this right here is the truth!..mashallah!!-3

  • watch love poetry

    /watch?v=dp4snkKmAzo&feature=r­elated

  • Excellent!! Thank you!!

  • Drake Watch and Learn

  • @mrchange. Yah I'm more spiritual than religious for sure but I respect all views demonstrated.

  • Holy shit..

  • real talk

  • Christianity does not promote hatred towards other religions. Read Romans 14, However I do agree that for any religion that they are selfish people that claim to do things in the name of God.

    Anyway for whatever God or Gods you believe in peace and much love to ya.

  • Wow

  • damn it............................­........

  • if only spoken word was delivered in this way...All the (US) spoken word artists sound/deliver so sameish and generic too me, it's almost like a monotone their voices

  • dammmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnn

    

  • I agree with this 100%

  • why does kanye's bit on Def Poetry Jam have more view than Talib's? BECAUSE Talib has something to say and therefore will never be heard.

    the world we live in

  • @ukes Kanye's was actually really good if you watched it.

  • @dxc5698 I know his is good, but I guess were talking in the subjective sense of the word. I just believe Kanye's arrogance and personality in general give him that necessary push over a more humble figure like Talib, i.m.h.o

    its often the case with this world, is it not.

  • @ukes lol calm down Talib Kweli's bit has over a MILLION VIEWS, it says quite a lot mate..

  • @Akinwale1 I know what you're saying. ya ya Talib is getting his just dues and respect he deserves.. it just says something when one man displays such humility in his craft and the other is up on stage interrupting awards ceremonies. there two different people and I guess its reflected in their artform and fame

  • all i can say is ddddddaaaaamn!!!!!!!!!

  • @alexlanderos43

    I forgot where I got it from but there is a quote that goes, "Religion is for those who are afraid to go to hell. Spiritual is for those who been there and back."

    ~ Change

  • @alexlanderos43 The way to be at peace and balance is to be willing to acknowledge them all and live with them. Loving one another is a result, not the bigger picture.

    Going from accepting all in the hopes that you might get into some omni-religious communal eternal paradise to realizing that while even though on the surface they all seem to want the same thing that they all have different ideas of what that actually is and how to get there is another step of enlightenment. That's faith.

  • @alexlanderos43 SO TRUE!

  • @alexlanderos43 Amen its sad that not everyone thinks this way
