Dead Prez "The Beauty Within"

[@AD3Basketball]

I wish this video reached 30 million plus views like Rihanna or NiKKi M. Our children need this.

[@shimronnetia]

putting black woman on the pedestal. LOVE FROM Africa

[@NovaStarr]

To anyone calling this song racist, this song isn't about 'race', it's about people. People that have been scorned by society and it's so-called standards. If you can't take one song giving them some uplift, you need to take a serious look in the mirror.

[@cocoabeanz2]

well said

[@tamararoundtree4819]

love it!

[@BlancaRodriguez-je7fe]

Cosmic Glider's Dimension Fck what they say. I'm white and I love this song, it's just great. And necessary specially to make black girls love themselves as they should. Maybe they are jealous cause we don't a song like this for us :P

[@justinpettit3432]

Cosmic Glider's Dimension Shouldn't even have to say this. Only a complete idiot would call this song racist.

[@craigedwards4603]

[@shulondamba]

I love seeing our black women be brave enough to be natural with no make up, perm, extensions, or any other body altering surgeries…100

[@oldschoolcuc]

It's nice to hear a guy rap about girls and not being offensive and sexist :)

[@Jzarecta]

Many rappers like that, but ya'll want the flex.

AMEN BROTHER!!! ✊🏾

[@erikadee8668]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video! As someone who constantly puts herself down for not looking like the majority of the women considered beautiful, this really moved me. I decided to go natural a year ago and am still having a hard time seeing the beauty in myself. This video moved me to tears. Thank you so much!

[@erikadee8668]

+xldjvista Ok. I can do something with shoulder length. I just passed one year.

Every one's daughter should listen to this to remind them of what beauty is about .. And every one's Son should listen to this to know how to respect a woman :)

Absolutely well said.

[@scottwa]

From a white man... excellent song, excellent video. Celebrate what makes us special... Everyone is beautiful, and it doesn't take implants or a weave. Love these guys for telling it like it is, from "The Hood" to "The Beauty Within". Real music about real people.

[@WABBNMedia]

I always come back to revisit this ! 9 years & counting 👌🏾

[@Rx2D]

This song never gets old. It's wonderful.

[@jeromeb4396]

"The Beauty Within" Awesome.

[@S.P.E.A.R.]

Black women!! You are Naturally Beautifull and You Are naturally Blessed By Our Heavenly Father.You are Blessed With Curves,Lips,Culture,Nature,Sou​l,Flavor And Personality.You are Kissed By The Sun Through African Lineage,And Your Skin Shines And Glows In So many Shades Of Beauty From The Lightest To The Deepest Complexions You Are The Essence Of Beauty And Wonder.Never be Ashamed Of Who And What You Are.You are The Envy Of All of The Women Of This Earth Who Deny Your Beauty And Charm.

Hip Hop will never fail, it's a movement, generation upon generation of revolutionary's. I'm white and i am most definitely part of this movement. Peace.

[@3333333921]

natural sisters are the best, don't let the media, the TV, movies or this world lie to you

[@Visions4517]

I listen to this song everyday! Love it. Feels like it was wrote just for me. I Love being a Black Woman!!

[@cakalackychick]

Natural & PROUD!!!

[@brittneymuhammad8566]

they don't want us to listen to beautiful music like this

[@VanaeCavae]

I am not African . I am East Indian. But i feel African women look better with their natural hair. It is real and that makes it beautiful.

[@packleader1215]

+VanaeCavae Yes. Everyone looks better when they take care of what they were given coming in this world. - Raw Foods - "Herbs are for the healing of all nations" - Awareness of natural laws

[@coolbreeze478]

I LOVE ALL MY SISTERS, WHY?? BECAUSE WE AS BLACKMEN ARE NOTHING WITHOUT "OUR" WOMEN BELEAVE THAT!! MUCH LOVE HOTEP....

[@jas1486.]

I appreciate the simplicity of the woman in the video. TWA, light makeup, and I'm in love with her earlobes. I also appreciat that her outfit is also simple, not all that designer expensive shit that many black women cannot afford (including the ones that have it). Simplistic and beautiful at the same damn time.

[@MISHUSINGS4EVA]

THIS IS EVERYTHING 👏🏿👏🏿✊🏿🖤🖤🖤🖤✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

[@SouthParkDEA]

Peace and love to the brother Dead Prez for uplifting and praising our women... I love the black woman in her natural state

[@historiesinrust]

I love how he's always praising black women. It's so beautiful to hear.

[@roycerannard4251]

Man, very few rappers give me goose bumps when they rhyme. DEAD PREZ for years and a very select few others do. As a rapper myself, much love, respect and admiration goes out to artists like Dead Prez. The reason why Dead Prez isn't massively famous all over MTV is the views they share. The world does not want real music. They do not and have lost the original intention of music and poetry in rap. That is music that comes from the heart, that reflects the utmost pure intentions of the soul. If you say and believe you are "real". Keep an open mind, change who you talk to, listen to, what you believe if it is believed and pursued in the mainstream society, chances is it is wrong for you and you will be a better person for going against the grain. Beauty isn't skin deep. Beauty shines through the soul. If you believe you are real, then be real. If you believe you are real strive hard for perfection not in a worldly definition but one that when you die doesn't have a shallow and hollow history. Share this song with others. Much love Dead Prez. one love.

[@sazzieA1]

Real talk. Love these brothers. True rappers and they walk the talk

[@roycerannard4251]

sazzieA1 Very rare these days. I hate MTV rappers.

[@sking3974]

One love

[@openworldgaming1976]

@@sking3974 Respect brother.

[@akaiblue]

African women are so beautiful, and i love seeing black women with their natural hair. I don't wear make up or shave, dye or cut my hair, because i believe that all-knowing God created us the way we are for a reason and nothing needs to be added or removed. Every woman is a queen just as she is. I'm a blonde nordic woman, which is awesome too, even though i'm jealous to my african sisters sometimes, because they really are soo beautiful.

[@mountingcastles492]

Stic is a great man and artist. His music touches me a lot. He is a very smart person. I am becoming a great fan of his solo work and also of Dead Prez. Stic's album The Workout has changed my life in some way

[@BlancaRodriguez-je7fe]

This song is really beautiful, as well as the ladies in the video and all the black ladies, such a mystic Beauty.

[@TelmaTvon]

DP praising natural beauty....gotta love that.

[@Poppyess]

I'm from Germany , i loved always the look of afro american or african woman , you're born with the most naturality in my eyes on this planet. They way they move , speak and do things are very beautiful! I can't understand why the Afro american women do all kind of surgeries , make up and other things which are changing their nature ? Why you want smooth hair and a bright skin ? Are you crazy a lot of white / bright women would die for your colour !!! My wife is from the Ivory Coast and stays natural at all ! My advise to the US Afro American women ==> look over the sea to your african roots dont look up to fake Hollywood Nicki Minaj ! Every women on this planet got a natural beauty! Stay yourself ALWAYS and youll find the right love, the right man, the right feeling! DONT BE AFRAID , OF WHAT ? Peace from Germany !!!

[@isabelletoledo4016]

Stick to your wife then and spare us your white mansplaining. Nobody asked for your patronizing blah, and clearly, you have no idea about life in America, milkdude doofus.

[@lesjforeman82]

Positve joint for all of the BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMEN/QUEENS, because you all are truly special and others don't compare. Dead Prez keepin it true and real as always.

This video made me cry. I love it. Keep the real music coming.

[@driag123]

I played this song over and over! The lyrics, the video, and the energy is amazing! I love how we are waking up as a people and embracing so powerful instead of listening the mainstream telling us that we were never good enough. Dead Prez, much love for this one! All my Natural Sistas, we are strong, intelligent, and beautiful! They got nothing on us!!! SMILE;-)

[@samuelauer9828]

So true, love the message, heads up, stop feeling sad, and stop wishing you looked like someone else, beauty comes from within

[@trini467]

I think I'll play this every morning to "dress" myself before I leave the house (plus prayer). Loved it.

[@peacefulrain86]

[@andraelwalls8425]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL

[@regional112]

Thank you Dead Prez... I concur 1000%!! I don't want my baby daughter to have some complex about her features because she doesn't look like all of the images "of beauty" she's bombarded with constantly. I always tell her she's a beautiful black princess, just like the beauty she sees in my wife, her grandmothers, aunts, etc... Our women deserve to be uplifted and it's our responsibility as black men to do so. Straight talk.

[@DontTouchMyCorn]

'this hollywood world so pretentious' annnd white supremacist annnd male supremacist. I loved this song so much. I could cry right now. I'm glad a song like this exists.
