[stackbundles4areason]

the goverment dont want us to watch dis

[imicky]

@stackbundles4areason You got a point why would an uploaded vid jus mess up!

[stackbundles4areason]

its True.

[XxnkklllllxX]

@stackbundles4areason

The government doesn't want us to watch a black man tell us about someone he knows and feelings he has? yeah because this will cause revolution. Take your conspiracies elsewhere

[stackbundles4areason]

@XxnkklllllxX Every Body has there own opinion but that doesn't mean every one is right.

[MRSonOfThomp]

@XxnkklllllxX yeah, don't you hate when those black men in the presidential office erase a black mans words on youtube in fear of revolution? lol.... anyways, would have been an awesome vid if it worked lol

[Skandalus]

and because YouTube decided to ruin the audio... we as lovers of the art fight harder to hear the truth, and continue to defy the laws of one system or another...

As was Rome... As shall be YouTube

[desertgreenery]

This is a message to all the males out there. Its not something to just think about and be like "well dat was sickkk." Its supposed to evoke something in us men; a challenge to our egos. We all just got called out brothas, we need to make a change, and I'm startin with myself.

[desertgreenery]

"she kept us in the good neighborhoods even tho she couldnt keep on the lights

so we could go to the best schools learnin to read and to write

sometimes we be so broke in the store she had to pick between the beans and the rice

so sometimes she would put ketchup on the navy beans so it wouldnt seem like we're eatin the same thing every night

two jobs during the day and one at night"

[lovemylittlelie]

DEAR GOD,

please help me find a guy like this. one that loves love before he can love me. one thats been through something and made the best of it. one that can love and think Gemineye, Shihan and Amir. and one that can go out and help provide for a future family. one that will support my dreams. I love you God.

Amen

[STAYiHUMBLE]

"...if the test comes back POSITIVE, its a NEGATIVE..." "...so I know that being a MAN is more than being a MALE, so I'm focused on doing it right..." I LOVE THOSE TWO LINES:) Its simply beautiful...!

Basheer Jones The Poet in 2:06 Video

[therillg]

MashAllah =)

[blahblah162005]

i've seen a lot of people say this.....what does MashAllah mean?

[therillg]

It means Praise the God but we say it to other people as praying for them to more success or sometimes we say it as an expression when we see something we like .

[blahblah162005]

oh ok....thanks

[therillg]

you're more than welcome =)

[DJProph]

its a saying of praise

[Eppisiie]

why do you believe that?>

[LilBoyBloo2]

It's cool that you are disrespecting a lot of peoples beliefs just by saying this without caring about what people think. So yeah. Big ups for you having enough balls trying to look for a religious battle. I believe in god and i feel disrespected. If you do not believe that there is a god, then at least say that its your opinion just to be courteous. If reply with something that will just dig the whole deeper, then i will not respond at all.

[LilBoyBloo2]

btw i know i made a mistake in there but im sure you won't be the immature type and say that im stupid because of grammer and spelling and mistakes, and actually respond with something that is a response to my response rather then how i wrote the response.

[MzeeDala]

@Powerlifter83 For you there is No God, but somebody who read Big Bang Theory million times thinks the opposite because he or she wonders where did the light came from, if at the beginning there was nothing (Nothing! no air or anything)...You got the freewill so keep on believing whatever you believe in, but DON'T say there is no God to a believer unless you know where that light came from

[ipodbabies]

That was amazing, true idol.

[sambul21]

wooooooooooooooooooooooow

[TheLiquidBlaze]

MaschaAllah

[luongbrother]

Did he say Homo Thugs? I'm just wondering to see if I'm hearing this right. it's at 0:34-0:36

[818SlimShady]

YES HE SAID!! SO WHAT

[luongbrother]

What you mean "so what", lol. It'd be horrible of me if I actually didn't care understand the poem. Respect for poetry.

[818SlimShady]

hmm ok.. cause that's what i thought

[luongbrother]

lol no worries.

[tooreel]
