Big ups to Dahlak! He speaking TRUTH and cant no one knock him and call him RACIST until u been in that situation! Be real with yourself and don't ignore the reality surround us as people!

[@vlziegler]

Electrifying energy!

[@dholmes974]

Just the truth, that's all. I'm in my late 40's, and well aware that my mind works like the best pc in certain situations. I'm aware of where I grew up, the country I've grown up in, and protect myself accordingly. I don't waste my time with foolish questions like "why". My study of history tells me what I need, and you young brothers need to crack a book and learn all you can about American & world history...

[@TifNieB]

I love this guy..

[@reginaldfairfield]

You are so cute... Good poem...Thanks for the post..

[@Mrliston]

[@illliteracy]

Dahlak sampled "Love Lockdown" and made a fresh new song. Download "Never Know" for FREE on his website!

[@manug20dt3]

The video gets messed up in the end.. The last thing he says is "It's a viscious cycle but it ain't gon end. As long as they profiling us, we just gon do the same to them.'

[@washyomouthsmartas]

story of a black man! that was amazing

[@prettyproblem16]

what did he say at the end

[@icareminsung]

yo, this nigga goin T0O hard... his raw emotion & sicc flow & lyrics reminds me of another poet that was on def jam... his name was like, hold up... lemme checc... shihan. yea, that's his name. they're both incredible, if you ask me.

[@blahblah0614]

he is really talented

[@illliteracy]

[@nascentcomplacence3302]

Still hit

[@mayles15]

[@DezireVirtue44]

wow. awesome truth.

[@bpre0508]

Listen To Mitchell Brothers - Routine Check

[@lizkel]

and THAT is the truth.

[@BIGJeff3889]

This is some real shit...real unfortunate...real scary...real injustice. And for those that dislike this video: you are probably the people that never were pulled over for DWB (Driving While Black).

[@AriWonder]

i concur...

[@415ofaloto]

eyo where do u get the glow in the dark wallets?

[@cochance]

wow

[@Phyoomz]

he says "as long as they profiling us (hands behind head), we gone keep doin the same thing to them (two middle fingers)"

[@aqueen2]

goddamn! he's so right

[@clevelandlindseyjr4780]

funny and the truth

[@BlueBajan]

TRUTH

[@poccahuntas]

(: LOVE IT

[@mfrekerara]

damn...

[@JoshuaRobertMoser]

I misread his name as "Dalek" and expected something else entirely... "THIS POEM IS TITLED 'DAFFODILS'!" "EXTERMINATE DAFFODILS!"

[@uurdoox1970]

if u think this deep, try swimming in my imaginations yo increase da peace

[@Shayluvli]

truth

[@Pennys1]

THEY CALL ME DRAMA

[@TheCommentGuy100]

30 people missed the like bottom

[@jpraymond375]

As long as they profiling us, we just gon do tha same to them

[@GCPTALKS]

okay okay

[@bonbon18]

as matter of fact you dont have to go that far go back to the 50's and look how fucked up that was so you kno what watch it you dont kno what the fuck ive been through as a man let alone as a black man or any other person

[@PedroGunzalez]

and cops wonder why I don't talk to them. Remain silent.

[@noobbsaiboot]

i bet the 30 that didnt like this video were "ahem" white...there i said it

[@rlidrazzah]

Lady in the pink sweater with glasses is not impressed 1:48

[@kidryu16]

I'm ashamed of the people who chose to dis you and not correct you, but i also feel ashamed for you as well, not thinking before you wrote. He never mentioned "ghetto" nor did he "rough times" no one cares of the times he's lived it's the story he's told and this one is relative to black men and women. racism still exists because of things like "Bush & New Orleans", not because of people telling situations they've been in,and in that we must not judge a group for one's doing."Rationality" peace.

[@Cyf1]

Fuck tha police is our favorite hymn! Bwahaha dat boy is tyt!

[@abigailpoppins6183]

Yvonne G

[@reginaldfairfield]

@butybgtym lol.

[@RendezvouDoo]

I wonder what he said!

[@bonbon18]

okay look not all black people use the word i find it offensive okay and another have you every been in the situation he was in

[@FierceAce]

@malaefouanesi88 lmao

[@ABANICOSANYO]

All of these videos are horrible quality, anyone have a link for a complete quality video?

[@bonbon18]

and anothing who said it was okay nobody society does it i dont use it and nobody should its words used to hurt people because of something they cant change okay i dont agree with calling anyone out of their name so you go and watch an movie from back when about slavery

[@maryiettaksmith2]

he wasn't talking about all white people only cops....the personification is kinda wrong but its the truth for most african american males...

[@versatol]

Check out a great interview with Dahlak at ImperiousEnt . com - This cat is the truth

[@versatol]

I just read a great interview with Dahlak on ImperiousEnt . com -- check it out

[@KianaG1280]

He sounds like hes about to have an asthma attack...good poem though.

[@OneLoneLegend]

calm the fuck down! everyone!....now... Hand over your jewely and money. in an orderly fashion. -im black 2009

[@welovemax]

good play on words, but gotta be careful bout the message he is sending. hate generates hate, doesn't erase it. some buddhist philosophy>>>Conquer the angry one by not getting angry; conquer the wicked by goodness; conquer the stingy by generosity, and the liar by speaking the truth.

[@MALIRIPPA]

damn i smell hatas commenting on this video

[@Vade91]

It's cool but he sounds like freaking-out nervous.

[@bonbon18]

man dont say white ppl's faces yea he touches topics that are true but dont categorize all white people in that category as not believing racism is alive im black and i kno what its like to go through that with the cops

[@AbuYusra88]

en man värdig sina ord...

[@xabcx]

dont talk about it because you can't spell it?

[@LextheLion333]

A very generic concept.
