Still listening in 2020... wish he carried on with this lane but big up same way 👊🏾💯

[@SparkzWindz]

u know what i dont understand is this rappers who 'escaped' the hood life from anywhere, usually talk about the hood life as if its positive in they're songs, but they broke through it for a reason, they hated it too, they say things like they will bring they're homies out of the hood too, but your going to bring another brother into the hood if your talking negatively like that. anyway this guy will get big. im telling you, people will soon recognise. real recognise real, love for u nohomo g

[@elliotreynolds1]

8 years later and these lyrics are still so relevant and relatable

[@nebojsadurmanovic2268]

"but reasons ain't solutions" Just brilliant.

[@kingjj199]

Telling the truth that people need to hear I'm emotionally shocked but won't shed a tear I walk with pride cause yolo I ain't got time for fear Your music should touch everyone but touches youths here Cause 13 year olds walking round with a knife I'm watching the ghetto thinking is this life Is this life. (I wrote this,George inspired me,it's not from one his songs)

[@aaronwald9417]

8 years later and the world ain’t changed. Makes me sad growing up from the hood to see the same damage happening over and over to new generations…

[@dannyanderson4567]

PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH THAT'S WHY THE VIEW COUNTS SO LOW! KEEP GOING GEORGE I HEAR YOU !

[@AzzzHole94]

dude is blowing me away, one youtube video at a time

[@KennyObiWanKenobi]

Jeeez, this is what I call DEEP. I applaud you George the Poet.

[@Souraneel]

The keyboard guy in the back is feeling it. This is real

[@hafsasultana1539]

Every track is another story, - powerful words and he doesnt even need any background beats.

[@wayupduk]

"I'd rather die than kill", more people should have this mentality

[@madedigital]

very good, educating, true street knowledge.

[@jakesp6785]

what an actual poet, speaks the truth and rhymes it excellently

[@abiGaILaDeOtI]

I could cry listening to this, the rhythm is insane. George The Poet #4evaaaa

[@DMXReincarnated]

FUCK that last line gets me every time. "I'll dignify your excuses by calling them reasons, but reasons aint solutions"

[@kayman247]

i swear to u listening to this guy just changed my life for real. i was ignorant blaming niggas for shit but really who isit to blame.

[@deanknighton-mansell3758]

still feeling it.never gets old .👊

[@urbanfolk4949]

"i'll dignify your excuses by calling them reasons, but reasons ain't solutions"

[@LukeElus]

just wow, might be a poet but his message gets across better than an artist one could on a beat

[@DeniseAshurst]

"I'll dignify your excuses and call them reasons; but reasons ain't solutions". My response... So look now beyond the point of your knife, be that the power of steel in your pocket or your words that strife ... and think yourself and your own, for just a minute, in another life...

[@mmcpeterz7445]

Denise these are words well spoken, and I solute you for the familiar rhythm that you've chosen. Poetry is a powerful, and contagious method of communication, one which can be used to deliver a strong message to a nation. This is the genius of George's intentions, because when you see someone successfully making an impact through intellectual application, who is still underrated but is not short of admiration, following in his footsteps soon becomes the temptation. Then soon positive poetry may become an epidemic, and instead of drugs, sex & violence, the focus of these youth's become academic. When to be the top boy on the street, isn't based on muscle mass or gang stature, nor being working class or coke dispatcher, But being creative in performing arts, ultimately re-inventing the definition of street-smart. Yes this might all sound very far-fetched like a beneficial government scheme, but isn't that what they all thought in the early 60's when the world's most influential human-rights activist had an ever-evasive dream? So yes, maybe these generously dignified reasons are weak excuse substitutions... But wouldn't it just be so pleasingly ironic, if they actually are the solution... ... ?

[@jayant2711]

ive meet him he has heart and he dont want it to go to waste he broken through the gangs rasism and the hood and now look at him doing what every other rapper should have done with their fame but didnt bother... respect him for what he says not taking into acount hes black or his race but for the fact that he acc gieves a shit about wheres hes come from hes got a mind that can take him far from all the shit yet hes still here shows heart!

[@rossanderson4324]

wouldn't even compare him to any rappers because he isn't, I'd say he is on another level compared to most other poets.

[@MrDadaJay]

yes yes young blood.reasons are not solutions. I doth my hat to you young sir as you have undoubtedly found your voice. I wish you all the very best now and in the future George the Poet, you've made a friend.

[@josefv1796]

this guy is sutin else man. You feel everything he says, like he is talking for you or putting you're anger into words. Talent like this needs to be recognized, especially when ends are getting worse."He aint got a life so I guess he wants mine." real talk

[@YourPalHDee]

Don't even fuck with me! This is some of the coolest and deepest shit any performer has ever said,

[@rmazza555]

So I meet you on a plane at 30,000 feet. We toss out a few ideas and a mutual love for language. "Whenever you play the blame game you miss the point" Thanks for keeping your feet on the ground with all these higher thoughts. I think you're a voice to be heard in these days of so much being just words.

[@CasperzWay]

FUUUUUK, THIS DEEEEP, INDIAN OCEAN DEEP. PREACH BRUV, TELL EM.

[@Legendary514]

Very smart young lad, future of Britain

He proves that you can be intelligent after being raised in the 'hood'
