[madona26ag]

i love it ......!!!!!!!!! wonderful song..

[caturmaharajika]

The ghetto here in the U.S. isn't that bad. If you truly want to see the real "ghettoes" why not visit Southeast Asia or Africa. The people in those parts of the world are the ones that truly have it hard in life.

[motherhead123]

Here in surrey gun shots go off like fucking people drink water. S :

[buddywagy]

I agree wit 1991dojo. i have also spent my whole life in New Mexico and there are things you would never think you would see. I can understand the ghetto i used to live it in. Its not a place you would want to be in.

[stokazpotoka]

margte ale glatorxe

[hassan894]

a ghetto is described as a "portion of a city in which members of a minority group live; especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure."

[watsapdog]

ALI B FT YES-R & AKON - GHETTO REMIX

[jfoley715]

I love Akon's songs.

Maybe one day the ghettos will disappear...

[caturmaharajika]

The ghettoes will never disappear as long as there is poverty and there is pervasive "gangsta" mentality in people's minds.

[jfoley715]

True, true

[yoboyjean]

@caturmaharajika GANGSTA IS NOT A MENTALITY ITS A LIFESTILE BLESSED ONLY BY THE DEVIL HIM SELF THIS WHOLE WORLD IS HIS IF YOU AINT KNOW

[domthebomb34]

you cant understand the ghetto unless u smoke....

[Romario867]

wtf y would they show new jersy and not shoe DETROIT, its most dangerous city in the u.s

[neoneo23]

@Romario867 Lol NO.... Mount Vernon, Brooklyn, Queens, and the bronx is the most DANGEROUS cities in U.S... Cause i live there and New York is a big big state...

[Manua38]

Superbe musique j'adore

[grisha0111]

[1991dojo]

i'v spent my whole life in New Mexico and some of the things we see out here aint fun at all...its so sad to see places that i grew up around in a music video about living in the ghetto because i knew what it was like living like that

[AnTz8589]

good songs i like it's

[gehennaspariahs]

One of the worst things about the whole situation is how numb to the problem America has become. It's become "normal" for things like murder, rapes, robberies, rampant drug use, and starvation to occur in these areas. If these same things were happening in the suburbs it would be unacceptable and our government would be forced into action. The media has successfully eliminated stories from these areas from ever making headlines until it spills into another area of town that's considered nicer.

[wyteboy4454]

what are the yellow boxes with X,s for on the houses?

[TammyeK]

this song is so pimp i love it

[niroshan500]

nice songg

[niroshan500]

really a beautiful song

[theninetailedguy]

what does ghetto mean?

[gehennaspariahs]

You really don't know?... Well' it's a type of neighborhood typically characterized by a lack of economic development. It was first coined by the Nazi regime as a reference to the area of a city where the Jewish people were relocated to. But is now used as a reference to an economically downtrodden area of town. It's been called that because the "ghetto's" of American cities are usually populated by minorities so they have been compared to the original Ghettos where Jews were forced to live.

[gehennaspariahs]

Another idea as to why they are called ghetto's is the comparison of the American Regime And the Nazi Regime in that they were both an oppressive military state aimed at the eradication of "undesirables". The difference being that Nazi's wanted to kill Jews and America wants to kill the poor. Which, sadly, is mostly minorities, hence the comparison.

[nohel15]

i'like that song

[crijevitis]

Još je zanimljivo primjetiti kako se svi ovi foliranti kao Akon na početku karijere prvo sjete da su iz geta,a kada naprave neku karijeru,getu više nikada u životu ne prismrde.Kao što rekoh ranije,ovaj Akon nikada geta u životu nije vidio

[crijevitis]

Ovaj Akon sere.Nije taj nikada vidio geto,a kamoli da je tamo živio.Glupi pozer i folirant

[Dar2Dar]

Because some poeple is poor and don't have a chance to move out.

[veget0010]

[gangvacos]

[THICKsmartnPRETTY]

i dnt know whether akon's fame has gone to his head, but his recent song sexy chick. crap. I would like to see him return to doing gospel. sexy chick is a freakin joke and is a waste of his talent.

[jonathanisgangster]

[sekkamester]

awesome beat

[searchn4mytruth]

I think the beat beat I heard from an Akon trak was from "Gun in my hand".. also Akons verse in the song was sick!!!!

[qqqqqqqq]

"And there's no one to hold on to, and there is no one to pull you out, keep on fallin', no one can hear you callin - so you end up self-destructing."

So true. It's the story of the life of the monotological klushbatrian twatrio hoe fo' sho.

What lyrics, but I am better irl tbh.

W0w0w0w0w0w0w!

[angelicinspirations]

[gszdanne]

Akon sucks Akon cant rap 2pac!!

[pinkroxmysox109]

If you think he suck so much why the hell are you listening to him

[Orlandolover01]

dan don listen to his songs if u think he cant rap. its tht simple isn it. no ones forcing you.

[nimijaan]

Everything come and goes , Even the life that you have is borrowed , Cause your not promised tomorrow , So live your life as if everyday gonna be your last , Once you move forward cant go back , Best prepare to remove your past . ♥

[88zippo]

Cuz i belived in my self, i never gave up, even tho i was in jail and fighting everyday, i always had in mind that someday ill take over my life and make out somthing good about it!

Respect!

[carlosinfalible]

unos de mis temas mas favoritos lo maximo mis respeto..

[neatz16]

akon sucks kanye west's dick cause they both faggots . they aint even got no talent . the only peole that got talent in the rap game are and were biggie, pac , punn, jayz, EMINEM, dr dre , 50 cent , TI nd lil wayne . akon nd kanye can go die they aint influenced rap at all

[chargersdude8]

akons music is gay, but he has a story, man. he is just writing this gay music for money. none of the rappers in the new age music industry write music for real. its easy money. i agree pac, biggy, nas, they are great, but respect this dude for what hes been in through. his music sucks dick

[gunner49arsenal]

I agree, but for Akon - this song is an exception. It's a very good song with an actual message.

[Orlandolover01]

if u think he sucks dan dont listen to his songs.

[rajt9592]

i agree

[XWilldoggaX]

Akon is fucking amazing. Not just how he sounds, but because most of his songs have meaning to them. This one is a prime example.

Also, stfu with the racism. Can't we all just live in harmony or something? Why does there always have to be fighting and arguing? :<

[xNYxFinestX]

song has them facts bout da hood

[LmfaoLolHahaWTF]

So many racist people these days, its killing me. Akon is one of the many African Americans that have become famous or a part of history. They have just as much talent as white people, or any type of people, so you can shut up and maybe try to decent.

[CountessBatula]

I dunno why but I like this song and I dont like rap LOL

[tgftd]

Man that navajo nation place was cobra shit go to tha west

[gettalifeyea]

You racist twats wants to get a life. Writing these comments just to make your sad pathetic lifes seem better than someone elses' for once.. At least he has talent. Where will you be when you're his age? Number 1 in the charts? or on the streets? I know which one i'd put my money one. Why are you wasting your time watching something which you dont even like? Hmmm i wonder why. Its actually quite funny the way you lot think you're seriously better than him. I think a reality check is in order!?

[Nike2552]

his voice is anooying as hell. dunno wat the fuk is he doing in the rap game !

[wardog31687]

[iFailLikeYourMom]

Navajaro nation looks the exact same as a city i used to live in Alabama.

[jimmyboyfobhater]

Is he calling the navajo natoin a ghetto. Its a ghetto unless your living in the cheap rent housing. The houses that are really destroyed are vacant becuase the people who lived there moved. How dare he calls my home a ghetto.

[aizazmasud96]

this is a sick song

[TheDamenroman]

the dothead have no right to come to us

[llabtoof91]

[shadyj1224]

ey i love this song i feel akon i lived for one year in the ghetto in n.y and i saw how some kids down there lived its touhg.

[pogologo123]

All he showed was da hoods in USA, mayne the ghettoes in other countries 100 times more worst, but i feel what he talkin bout, thats wassup. At least some of his songs show the truth.

[djcham445]

because akon wanted to show how people in the Us were strugglin, cause everyone thinks that the us is easy living, Ive been homeless for a year and its hard. To people that think its easy, y dont u walk in my shoes.

[hamzic99]

yo ur homeless but u have time to right on here...

[thanksdudeitsreptar]

agreed

but they do have it hard...

[djcham445]

No i said ive as in pasttence in the present time i am living wit my Girlfriend.

[shonha1]

BANGER, Akon got rich good shit, but his music is not the same, his shit is straite Z100 now.
