Wale is a poet... And there are plenty of local poets, they hold slams at my university. But I'm saying we need a platform like this def jam one today.
John Doe.. how new? Kendrick Lamar, Chance the Rapper, Noname, Mick Jenkins, Isaiah Rashad, Vic Mensa, Joey Badass, Logic, Denzel Curry, J. Cole, Bas.. there's more but if youve bever heard these artists I think you might like them
Ms. Hill's words remain relevant no matter when one is viewing this video. Personally, I think what makes her poem powerful is that it contains truth and wisdom in every line!
*I LOVE LAURYN HILL!!!!!!!!* such a unique, inquisitive and articulately profound MC! Lauryn has always been real and is the modern-day black panther! She doesnt conform to eurocentric ideals, she has found her voice since turning her back on the hollywood 'sell out' music industry to keep her integrity as an artist intact. I love her! Fave female MC! #goddess! #GOAT
Even though she doesn't hail from Philly, considered the mother of the so-called "Neo-Soul" movement, just as D'Angelo would technically be the father. This is one of those things in history that will never happen again--that era, that magic. Philly, NY, NJ, VA, that whole scene, all colliding to give us Lauryn, D'Angelo, Jill, Alicia, EVE, Erykah, The Roots, Musiq Soulchild, Bilal, Floetry, John Legend, etc. This is the beauty of musical blackness, quintessential.
@@sonyapeach Oh I don't know why I thout Andre 3-Stacks is from ATL. Also Raphael Saddiq, MAN! Those kind only come in small batches per generation, foreal--LOVE THAT DUDE.
"Global economy in it for self". That's real. A global economy is our reality, it's not going to go backwards but so many politicians and businesses are just that: in it for self. A global economy is powered by the common people of this earth, it should also benefit those same people. The fact that it doesn't is wrong. I think we all can agree on that.
definitely, as you know that global economy is owned by the minority. Meaning it could be that 1% of people own the world's wealth while the majority own nothing. So politicians are "in it for itself" ..It is sad
The best poem on this show deeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeep and every one needs an into if you don’t know what to say mos def just introduces her lol
The best female artist to Touch a mic in hiphop history... much love queen.. we miss you but we understand the way you have chosen... f**k that devilish industry
When I saw(heard) Lauryn for the first tme as a kid in Sisters Act ...I knew right away that she is special....mostly for her soul and inteligence...peace...
john 8:12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life." the sun is the face of the LORD. he watches over all things with his light.
When he died they were at peace with one another. He did a tiny cameo in her video "The Sweetest Thing" and she did the female part of his song "Me and My Girlfriend".
