he is a true brother ! Finally God created a messenger that the devil couldnt make a rapper! He speaks the true and he speaks with stile. ! God bless him. and i hope he never sells cuz hes words are worth a million and hes talent is priceless.
"I challenge you to find something to die for.. then live for it" If you don't get goosebumps everytime he says that, then I don't know what's wrong with you.
That was some of the illest poeticism eva flowed. Love how homey spits what's real. He just basically summed up what happens when you compromise yo artistic lyricism for nonsense. Also loved how stood up for black women by lettin us brothas know about ourselves. The truth sets us free... hope the majority whose heard this piece actually adhere to it.
Damn I hope that ALL people are hearing and listening to what this man talks about, he is deep, Black people its time to get your SH!T together and stop blaming others for our downfall. Time to love one another and help each other, so TOGETHER we can rise as a race, its time to get out the bottom of the barrel!
I get wot u mean bout lupe being deeper...he knows how to express his thoughts well and his use of the characters from his albums helps him do it in a disguised way... everyone listen to "streets on fire" and "the coolest" on his new album...both deserve to be on def jam poetry...
i knew i heard his voice b4, this was called 'exodus' on Fabolous's album with that 'Breathe' single on it...this dude, should have been shining years ago...thankz for uploading this.
im from the south and just love real rap music and when i listen to tupac i dont hear that all the time but he was what he was i just feel there are more rappers that are much better than him for example, eminem, kanye, lupe, jay,and the list goes on.
Its like theMother of a child. She can say whatever she wants to her child its in the family. But no one outside the family will refer to the child the same.And if a person does they make suffer severe conswquences. We as a people just have to understand and respect this. Respect in races have diminished. Respect amongst a people have diminished. Just Love your people......
I was saying the same thing... i said to myself he is like the angelic version. DMX is the dark and black ice is the light. he has a similar energy when talking about the rap game and the music industry
At the start of the video, that woman on stage, who was waving to the crowd and walking backstage, who was she? Also, Black's last line was very powerful. Seriously, dude moved me.
Man I look at the view totals on Black Ice's vids...People still don't get him yet. But to anyone who has never heard of him I IMPLORE YOU, if you want to hear what Hip Hop/Spoken word can sound like together as one and not in eachother's way? YOU MUST COP HIS SELF TITLED ALBUM.
U want to MC do it on the streets at home with ur friends, dont make a living out of it. Because baby I am telling u when u hit the glass silly and realize that wat u gotta do to pass it u aint gone like it any more. any way I can feel ur love for hip hop keep it up.
"I challenge you to find something to die for, and then live for it"
Gotta love this poem, gotta love this guy.
Truer words where never spoken. The industry is what killed hip hop.
Videos of Black Ice always seem to send chills through my body. Def Poetry was definitely a good program !
2023 and he still vibrates my consciousness with his words 👌🏾
Every poem he has done, has touched me! Thanks for vid!
This poem is dedicated to those responsible for the miseducation and destruction of Bobby Shmurder
agreed!
