“Revenge Is like starving yourself while making a meal for someone that isn’t even hungry.” So cold
You're a god Rudy🔥🤔🐐👏👏💐💐⚘
What a line! Thank you for posting!
Rudy still has it after over 10 years making solid spoken word poetry 🔥🔥🔥
I feel like I've been to Confession every single time I listen.
"I know a few things about leaving, if you take too much time packing your stuff you'll convince yourself to stay longer than you planned but when you finally do it you can't look back"
I always come back to this
The way it so effortlessly rolls of his tongue is amazing.
Oh friend. I promise you he only makes it LOOK effortless. That mans sweats at his craft.
Rudy never misses!
Ice in the veins!
EVER!!! 🔥🔥🔥
i know few things about me, i love every piece, every line of rudy’s poems
Gosh how I’ve missed listening to Rudy, and poetry that makes me feel something in general. Lost myself for a bit there, but words like these wake me up and remind me. I am here
So glad we could help out Earthangel! We've got a new gbook and a whole lot of new video from Rudy coming out! Enjoy =)
I think as far as spoken word is concerned, Rudy is the best to ever do this. His writing style is as plain as a raw conversation but still finds a perfect way to incorporate poetic devices. Rudy's poetry feels a lot like he is qouting scripture 🙏💯❤️
Wow! Big Praise. Thank you Mike!
Rudy is obviously one of my favorites but I'm deep into it so it can be hard to name just one person. Andrea Gibson would make my list, so would Rachel McKibbens. I asked another member of the Button Team and they said honorable mention to Good Ghost Bill.
If I had to pick an all time favorite today I might tap Oz though. We have a few of his videos up but his peak is a little before we really get going.
If you're not familiar with their work two of Rudy's inspirations and mentors were Shihan Van Cleef (who we do not have video of unfortunately but it is out there) and Javon Johnson.
Thanks again Mike!
Omg i’m glad someone said it. This man is like MJ he makes it look so easy. I wish i could articulate my experiences like Rudy.
“Some days I look up in the night sky and I reminded that people and planets aren’t so different. We all have an orbit, our energy decides what comes in to our atmosphere. We all have our own… gravity.”
Rudy, thank you for all of your speeches. Like, you find ways to express yourself in a great, inspiring and easy way like no one else ever could. You make me feel understood and kinda love life despite all its flaws, and all the difficulties. I actually have been accepting things as they are, keeping a positive energy while leaving negative thoughts behind me. Life’s great! And so are you Rudy! I know you’re never gonna see this but never stop what you’re doing. We needed that right now.
Also other parts from some of my favourite speeches of yours are:
“The human heart beats approximately four thousand times per hour… and each pulse, each throb, each propitiation is the trophy engraved with the words: you are still alive. YOU are still alive! ACT like it.” ~complainers
“I cry but I tell myself that it’s gonna be okay. Because I know there is a better version of me somewhere in the future, he is staring at this moment right here, and he is saying Rudy, thank you for not giving up on us.” ~drowning fish

his voice does not match his body, he looks like it should be deeper
