Poetri doing MONEY on Def Poetry 

Is anyone else doing this for school

Oh best believe that this poem is spoken from the heart. I read when I first read this...but today is a new day and I will never read this poem the same way again. Thank you, Jesus!

Poetri is absolutely amazing, one of the illest poets of our time!

Thank you. Thank you and thank you.

I used this as an example of personification with my 7th graders. Thank you for inspiring the children of NYC public schools, much love!

I love all of his work!!! you are so crafty and clever and talented

Thank you. I appreciate that.

I *love* you, Poetri! You are authentic! No matter how many times I read your poetry, hear poetry or feel your poetry...it's always a different experience. Keep talking, Poetri!

They just using you MONEY!!!!

This shit is still genius in 2024

you're very talented dude....i really enjoy your work and the way you express yourself in them keep it up

Put a beat on and you got a whole jayz hit 🤣🤣🤣

Ahhh, you are too kind. You just put a big ole smile on my face. Thank you.

wow. this is too f'in much. Your writing really touches several core truths in society, but at the same time your delivery is so lighthearted. Tryin to put some of whatever you have in my work, you're inspiring, keep at it. But I'm sure you've heard this all before..

I love this piece. This man is truly talented.

I saw this in 2011/2012 in my 6th grade class. I'm 21 and watching this video hurts now

Was there any negativity around you while doing def poetry. Because i hear the stories about Hollywood and i believe most of them

This is horrible lmaoooo

You don't even know him. Maybe you should go to one of his events then you can judge and see what type of man he is. He is a very positive person. I have never heard him being ignorant or ghetto EVER. He has his own business and is doing very well for himself and his family. YES, he is great with his family and unlike someone Ghetto, he is keeping his together and taking care of his kids. He is a MAN, more man than you will ever be. Maybe you should look in the mirror and ask what neege mean.

2019...

@KellZ616 don't give energy to ignorant people who think that poetry is limited to Elizabeth Barett Browning, Bronte, Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Frost and others that we were forced to read. now we spit what we want...and those who can't appreciate are not even racist, they are just pathetic individuals. but i agree with you 110%!

why does ignorance always manifest itself in the form of.... whats it called? oh a racist. he doesn't happen to know you for him to call you inarticulate. oh and he really don't pay anyone that has mommy home issues any attention because really his problem was he was just lacking a lot of hugs. LOL

@BigPenis1111 with a name like that, I can't take anything you say seriously.

it seems like a cover up if its any thing he could be talking about a real woman (but i dont think her name would be money)

@Poetri yo I plagiarized this poem and recited it at a party son and I bagged this badass eclectic broad..thanks bro!

Anyone know what poet did the one of the " so through a flying kick at the B4tch... and somthing about verion?!'

2018

Check out my latest version of this poem!!!

so does that make me gay because I'm feeling and missing money too? Hmmm. thanks for posting. very Funny!

Poetry is about self expression. How dare you attempt to dictate what it should and shouldn't be...

I am a teanager and have watched just about all his poems 4 times each. One, because they are funny. Two, because his poems just never get old.

we got some good memories, me an money. I thinks she's also trying to teach me something

Yeah my moneys been acting funny too. She keeps playing hide and seek

Explaining money in context of money genius pure genius

Your poems are fantastic, you have a true talent!

lmaoo this is the anthem of all dem broke bitches oout there...including me :(

Remember hearing this when i was young didn't understand it until i got older. Favorite line I need you to survive, sad but true

Great 1 Mayn... It All Begins With 1.. 1 Poem, 1 Place, 1 Person, & 1 GOD!

This man is ridiculous! Man i can relate, except my money is my guy!

@BigPenis1111 you must of had a terrible failing career..so sad

was introduced to Def Poetry and your work back in '07 by my sophomore Literature teacher in high school and have been a fan ever since!!!

LOVE IT! Keep it up, such a unique talent!

This is some tite shit!By the way, money is bisexual!

Lil Debbie 🔥

dude from 1:05 needs some money to get his grill fix

I have always enjoyed poetry and yours is wonderful.

@scrEYEB She looks like jada pinkett-smith to me (:

I got an opportunity to see him perform MONEY at NC Blumenthal Performing Arts in Charlotte, NC in 2007. He is great!

@Poetri Hey can I talk to you? I need some advice.

🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

So so Def

@Poetri : Can it be in Spanish? Thank You friend

he abused money when he had it by not saving it.

is this the real poetri ? i love your poems .

i get it but think of it as a different story

I think this is the best poem of this program

But Poetri I can't send a picture of my mind

Poetri, sir, you are a fucking genius!!

Wow. Really? I don't even know you, bruh. Why would you insist on speaking negative about a person that is trying be positive in life. I can only come to the conclusion that you must live and be a very negative person. I hope that I said that as inarticulate as possible.

Love ya big bro! you da best

Damn. I miss money too

bangin got the 1000th like

Poetry is the Best!!!

@kopahasetic only a 1000 people liked this??? Lol. I thought it was waaaay more. Lololol. Anyhoo, I glad you were the one to be 1000

I never abused you... did I? LOL

bruh u a talented brother, This Hood from North Miami Beach, Miami, Florida, me being a hip hop artist (one half of Vice Squad) I often watch a lot of poetry to understand poetry and apply it to what I do, u one of my fav poets, u bring positive, comical, and uplifting energy, much respect and continue doing what u do...

they usin you!!!!!!!!!!! funny!

ROFL heard this once years ago

@Poetri we are fam, i know we arei can tell by the message in your poem, I didn't know we spread out to this far though(DEF POETRY) without compromising that's what's up keep it up.

yay! Thank you. Thank you.

Nice ! nice!!! good work :)

I tend to watch def poetry in search of some deep philosophical shit, not to say your writing isn't multi purpose, but I got side tracked from my bitter quest by all your poems, and they lifted my mood considerably.. respect from Australia

is this the real poetri ?

That was stellar, Poetri.

Awe... but seriously... you're one of my favorites I listen to that puts a smile on my face. I have been writing most of my life but I'm too shy to perform/recite it in front of large crowds. How did you get over your stage fright(if you had it)?

I have a feeling Money is already making her way back to you, Poetri. Give her some time and she will be begging to be back in your life again. *wink*

FANTASTIC.

@bman458u lol i get it

DEEPNESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

How can you put out so much truth in a so funny way.. like in this one, money, the monsters on stomach, drivin, dating myself. You're gold poetri, you're gold!

I TREATED YOU RIGHT!

Haha That was funny!

that was mad funny!!

i love this poem man

@Waterhousesmuse Wow! Now that's a creative learning tool. Why can't more teachers be like you? Keep up the good work!

you're a true inspiration sir. from time to time i take a few minute off just so i can watch again your videos. money should search for you, not the other way.

love you so muchhh

I loooove Poetri I watch this video and can't stop smiling thinking about the very first time I saw it (when it first aired) OMG!! God bless you love :-)

love this. Money isn't everything....but its as close to oxygen as we can get! lol. continue inspiring others Poetri. your work is greatly appreciated.

I feel da same way

lol he's so funny.

hotness right here

i need money tooo
