Tijon - Rise ft. Steve Van Tine (Music Video)

[ministerofflame]

this reminds of the poem Still I Rise - by Maya Angelou I wonder if he is fan of Maya Angelou work

[MrMountandewme]

tijon and lupe keeping rap alive. both aren't as recognized as they should be. Even though lupe is obviously much bigger

[ooomggg]

He's a good rapper, I like his songs, but personally I just feel like he tries to hard with his tone of voice. If he just rapped with ease, He'd sound better. Just saying.

[zalle124]

Hahah, the views make me lol. I've watched this atleast 105804358 times myself...

[Painx17]

His too cocky,will he sellout?

[FMJxAiimBoT]

@Painx17 how is he cocky and i doubt he would be able to "sellout" for a long time judging by the views of this video its a great song thats all that matters

[Painx17]

His too cocky,will he sellout?

[Jueix]

This guy is an awsome rapper some famous dude is stupid if they don't sign him.

[Painx17]

Everybody needs to stop listening to mainstream,go underground

[TheVinceudntno]

i think pac would be proud

[tupacforever1331]

@TheVinceudntno yessss :)

[TheMultiBoat]

@TheVinceudntno

You my friend, are a great person. Long Live Pac!

[hoodrap89]

@TheVinceudntno i think he is proud.. lookin at us from heaven

[AstarAnZ]

u guys if u like this guy then u will deffo like LOWKEY he is the most realist in the game

[Emblem4kaeCC]

Extremely glad I found this guy. Easily one of the realest in the game right now. Anyway, vibe on.

[MrTWIX100]

R.I.P Mainstream Hip Hop , Underground is the real shit.

[miah61068]

this guys bad ass. stumbled on this shit. Great rap when i was 99% hopeless about the new rappers

[MuffAtWar]

Tupac of 2012. This song is alot like Tupac - Changes. I'm sad that there's still being no changes made :(.

[Idk1ization]

im an artist myself and to be honest most of the songs i write are about partying and what most people wnna listen to... after listening to this im changing everything i write into real shit like this!! this guy needs to be mainstream. reminds me of tupac!! R.I.P 2pac

[RTSBRITAIN]

A truely awesome song would be by Lowkey Logic Tijon and Lupe Fiasco.

[sonny3531]

it makes me sick thinking that people actually DO this. this is real, that is the tradgety.

[MarvelLegend07]

guys like this make me believe rap still has a chance to be considered real music and reach out to people like pac did

[reallyangrypants]

Somewhere hip-hop got lost.

My heads been filled up with so much bullsh*t, something like this comes along and makes you remember...

[keenan871]

Q Where does art stop and action begin? A When you can tell the difference...

[antique1310]

#real music!

[safarigurl150]

Finally, a REAL rapper. Not just "cars, money, hoes".

[safarigurl150]

this video gets 15 000 views and Nicki Minaj's STUPID HOE gets 17 000 000????? thats whats wrong with the world s

[MrESuliman]

@safarigurl150 it's not the world it's YOUTUBE ! they control this!

[MsCurbsideprophet]

gr8

[sexy1champion0102]

truth is amazing talent like this never gets signed by fake ass label companies because this would have a REAL impact on society and they would have to fire and get new and similar artists such as Tijon and its not that easy finding talent like this

[NoMneiCk]

Some scenes are from Greece and i was there... I wish freedom and peace all over the world! And dont forget, anarchy≠chaos, anarchy=freedom!

[MrRaaasMAN]

[Rispolikid]

[LWOfficial]

Man i hope your music comes across here to england. Keep up the good work bro

[Regzus]

Thats rap.

[trollingbiznach]

you should contact Lupe Fiasco, you have the same perspective on life and on the tragedy that is America

[deanwiliomsin1]

@trollingbiznach are you calling america a tragedy? if you are, and if you dont like it here get the fuck out

[EmerX09]

@deanwiliomsin1 But a lot of people obviously agree with @trollingbiznach 59 thumbs up

[deanwiliomsin1]

@EmerX09 yeah those 59 people probably are the tragedy. america has fallen, but its not a tragedy just yet thats a little bit harsh to say

[SilNuenen]

@deanwiliomsin1 Most americans are a tragedy, dont you know?

[deanwiliomsin1]

@SilNuenen yeah thats pretty obvious.. but america is still running strong and doing better then a lot of countries in this world.

[samsunginsync]

@deanwiliomsin1 when you don't like something about someone you love, you don't drop them and leave, nah you fix it and get them back on track.

[deanwiliomsin1]

@samsunginsync i agree

[Freshamker23]

Lupe and Ron Paul should inform the public about this nigga tijon

[coold100ok]

filmed in nanuet??

[lazerbeam134]

Someone mentioned this on a Rise Against video xD

[TranceExposed]

Ron Paul 2012 for peace, hope, and an end to corruption. End all this shit that's happening to this country, end the bullshit on Wall Street, end the political deception, may the truth rise. Ron Paul 2012

[RScarHtissueC19P]

@TranceExposed get this shit out of here

[cheynecudney]

we need to rise up against all the tyrany that the US and all the other countries have been putting up with

[cheynecudney]

tijon and lupe fiasco are the realist people out there who understand the problems of the world

[RScarHtissueC19P]

@cheynecudney so is Macklemore. you should check him out

[xTremmymatex]

@cheynecudney obviously you havent heard tupac.

[Vi3txDud3]

Occupy the World

[xTremmymatex]

You're gonna make it far bro <3 Its people like you that make me want to stab lil wayne, your real.

[MrDafunnyman]

you know whats funny i like how people think this is rap when there is a man blessed with a talent of helping people with there lifes and only 1 man who made rap 2Pac (Tupac Shakur) greatest man who ever lived rap is lost but they say 2Pac will come back in 2014 if he does all these rappers are D.E.A.D

[0GamerFreak0]

0:32 what happened to our freedom?

[Blackjesus209]

[BandannaLynn]

[ryandabeast22]

[HCGamer1337]

0:32 Casual Pepper Spray guy.

[ITedBundy]

the best rapper alive

[videomaker74]

im impressed gr8 job

[Trannization]

man shut up. you got nothing better to do then to write a paragraph of bs or what

[vintastic319]

this isn't real hip hop lol. nor is it underground "ladies and gentlemen"... this is mediocre at best, but trying to sound all sad so you think it's good. just like J. Cole and Drake and these other turds that people say are good, when compared to people like wiz and wayne they sound good but my asshole sounds good compared to the same people.

[BXMetalHead77]

@vintastic319 then why are people listening to jcole drake and tijon but not u?

[TheFamilyGuyLove]

@vintastic319 you're a terrible judge.... my dick makes better judgements than your ears.

clean it out sometimes bitch, that's what cotton buds are for

[HammersGamingChannel]

@vintastic319 Are you a multi millionaire rap artist? No, didn't think so.

[KHaverlyVideos]

@vintastic319 Then what is good? I'm not trying to be mean or anything but you have intrigued me.

[vintastic319]

@KHaverlyVideos ill actually answer this one. big pun, big L, eyedea, ra the rugged man, aesop, nas, raekwon, rakim, old triple 6 mafia, scarface, epmd, big daddy kane, wu as a group and each one's solo stuff...lemme know if you need more

[jadsuckme]

@vintastic319 Its the fact that he is actually rapping to real world issues just like Pac and other great rappers.

[tenha95]

This is real Rap? This is not Real Rap. But , this is Touching and significant Rap!

[TiceyMicey]

Tupac brought me here :)

[ri4ards05]

@TiceyMicey 

[MrBugsBunnyyy]

i liked it till he used 2pacs rose that grew from the concrete, good song but disappointed with that bit

[NikeBlazer89]

@MrBugsBunnyyy why would that disappoint u?

[MrBugsBunnyyy]

@NikeBlazer89 because it sounded original till then everyone knows tupac always referred to the rose that grew from the concrete, just sayin

[NikeBlazer89]

@MrBugsBunnyyy whats wrong with paying homage?

[MrBugsBunnyyy]

@NikeBlazer89 good point well made

[oABBOTTo]

Real rap

r.i.p tupac

[theAnarcyMan]

idnt know that rap dudes where against that mainstream music i guess heavy metal and rap is the same just expressed in a different way

[shadowgutt]

Best of luck yo Tijon and his future.

[lemonlimelukey]

9 people are DUMB As FUCK

And obv don't know shit about the real world

[lemonlimelukey]

I hope this gets another 10 million views, cuz dudes shittin on the mainstream pieces of shit that all the dumbass youth be listnin to

[wowzabowza123]

why does he keep showing the UC Davis footage, 10 people got pepper sprayed for resisting peaceful police officers, my sister helped wash their faces, there was no police brutality...

[BillBlanco64]

@wowzabowza123 where does the video/song say anything about police brutality? its something that happened during our time here on earth

[Tyrkia123]

Im glad its a rapper that lives today.. Respect bro you are the next 2pac!

[sambod4]

this guy is the next pac

[emericadw]

this homie and vinnie paz are rap's last hope

[MrTheYoutubification]

Things get worse and worse but we see people speak the truth and that gives me a faint sense of hope. But I'm pretty sure with the NDAA 2012 passed, we're passed the point of no return. And that takes the joy of hope from me. :/

[phivzzy]

this guy, immortal technique and lowkey gunna take over, and what a good song this is, such a shame hardly anyone will see it

[shaneshaneist]

Someone wrote something about you on a tupac video and I think that is really fitting. Not many people have spoken out about real life issues and given hope since pac passed, but I think that you are one of the few keeping the flame lit and passing it on to other people. STAND AND FIGHT,RISE AND PROSPER

[ChillDudelD]

@shaneshaneist Immortal Technique & Lowkey are my favorite rappers that talk about real life issues.

[brittany4211]

this song needs some attention

[MinedGravy]

this is a great song but sitting around at a protest isnt a way to rise like if you want a better life you have to work hard at and not just expect it to come to you cmon i mean life's not easy and it never will be

[ElaAhed]

They say that real songwriters can write music that relates to the times they live in and the events that are happening around them. Much respect and love for Tijon!

[Jtmsimms]

This is what the United States has become; a horrible place. I live there and its hard as fuck to survive. I will Rise.

[Codawgwillis777]

@Jtmsimms mane your realy confused



[leafvillagemonster]

@Jtmsimms The United States are amazing. when we find that we are being stepped upon, we rise up together. Our nation is called the United States for a reason.

[SinghWingh]

this video has 3 dislikes too many

[86razva]

we all 99% will rise

[Flesheater15]

if ya'll want things to rise then this cannot stay underground. share it to your facebooks! fuck the gov't

[MrGwa94]

we all gonna rise...

greece is here too 1:46

[jagggyy]

people like Tijon make me have hope for our hopeless world

[xSickxxVirusx]

Tijon is the truth

[2pac4life298]

this guy is real u can feel wut hes saying n thts how u know its music

[jackson13rocks]

the rap game isn't lost, its gone underground ladies and gentlemen.

[calvinr16]

@jackson13rocks Realtalk



[MoSxyxnr24]

[zacarizac]

that was amazing. Tijon, words cannot describe that.

[ectriand]

god damn he is the realest rapper alive

[HarlemSplash]

god damn he is the realest rapper alive

[MrGOOZ3]

@HarlemSplash he's good, but lowkey the REALEST

[MrTheYoutubification]

@HarlemSplash Lupe's another one of the few real guys left. Check him out if you haven't already

[samsunginsync]

@HarlemSplash Tijon is great, but Immortal Tech Lowkey Logic and Akala are all alive as well.. which is great because that means we get more real music.

[damztv]

@HarlemSplash what about j.cole

[AJROCKZ123]

@HarlemSplash Lupe Fiasco to
