Heartbreaking that a genuine masterpiece like this would never be a chart topper

[@howl2417]

Honestly, if there were more poets/rappers/hip-hop-artists like him, who would be broacasted to mainstream media, I'm certain some societal problems could be - at least - diminished. My professor told us once, that it needs ca. 50 years to make a shift in any community regarding culture, attitude, thinking, etc. Imagine the picture of positive role models with messages alike! Valuing education, the importance of an intact family and the worth of hard work for a better future. Would be cool to see the impact on future generations, provided that rap was still in.

[@rialaurent-hughes7191]

Howl 24 I thoroughly enjoyed reading this comment

[@elizmoynihan]

You should be running a country. Poetry is political. A force for change. Thank you George.

[@Chickenriceandpeas]

When is he running for parliament?.. He has my vote.

[@dayzyen]

He just lyrically dissected the thought process of an entire generation

[@8YouWhatYouWhat8]

Wow this is too much. This deserves millions of views. Real words relevant to every human alive today.

[@antoniohenry674]

I love this youth U R talented ❤❤👍👍🔥🔥👍🇯🇲🇯🇲🎶🎶

[@stuspiller4039]

How has this only got 136k views......

[@matthewriddell6301]

Look into the the eyes of the musicians and backup performers in this video. You can see the pain and suffering. I am so proud of the professionalism of this collaboration, it must have been unbelievable tough. This brings up more truth with the mess of Oscar over identifying minority. You can over do it and cause more harm than originally planned.

[@Gnomelon]

Lyrically ahead of anyone alive currently and probably ever

[@hopey7561]

This is amazing the lyrics are amazing People need to listen to this

[@leonr2782]

Real talk there

[@hopey7561]

Leon Richards yea

[@pipettez7558]

Please never stop doing what you do. Brain food, that's how I'd describe your music

[@Niamh2012]

what an amazing talent. conscious poet. love his honesty and his true love of community not just chattin shit or baggin women or gloating about women. love love love his intellect.

[@shiapeyton-king6671]

Those lyrics are powerful. Genius

[@googleisdumb2557]

Just found this today after my mum mentioned it to me amazing

[@MrEmotionz]

I don't understand how you could dislike this, you must not be listening! GeorgeThePoet is talking real life..

[@LeroyThompson462]

I totally agree with you Mr Emotionz

[@jimkyalo5475]

I would give out all my hip hop records for this great words... George the poet makes much much sense. i love it, totally.

[@JayGreenhalgh]

I first discovered George with his track Blame game. As soon as I heard that I knew this guy was going to be something special. He really is unique, the combination of his age, intellect, maturity and passion for what he believes in comes across in all of his work. Hopefully more people will actually listen to his lyrics (poems) and discover for themselves there is more to life than generic rap tracks. Keep up the great work George, I hope to see you live one day.

[@87jonah]

He's been given a gift and he's using it..

[@davewoodham833]

He’s simply the best

[@kamranassadi83]

Great poetic refix touching on some real important issues and observations. Well articulated! Well done George, your talent is shining and you get better with every performance. Well done for breaking the mould and being the first spoken word poet on Live Lounge!

[@EmmaLovesBRS]

Same. I can't understand how you could not find this inspirational and emotional, he's so much better than any other singer out there, he tells us how he sees it and addresses the problems our society are too afraid to admit. I love it, and him.

[@bethlehemberhanu223]

this is the stuff that should be getting millions of views. Massive emphasis on should.

[@SuperTrouville]

George - thanks for the performance tonight - just awesome, incredible talent...

[@patrickblack4336]

still one of my favs

[@85brookzy]

This guy is unbelievable! Best artist I've heard in a long while

[@leejovic6482]

I have never listen to something so god dam true.

[@FlowzZgotbars]

ain't heard anything as real as this for a long time, respect

[@ishampop]

Lyrics are beautiful

[@Tarzanonspeed]

Amazing!!

[@sophabreel]

I'm touched by his passion to influence the youth in a positive way. Sadly a lot of the younger generation have already fed their minds with the wrong things and are on a lost path. Sad but real.

[@ravsingh1576]

What an amazing artist, with an amazing heart and awareness.

[@KNIGH7]

Agreed. I'm a fan of rap but through George I like spoken word more now.

[@ravsingh1576]

+KNIGH7 Definitely. It just shows how much strength lies in expression. But we're so caught up in stupid things we forget the power in words.

[@KNIGH7]

Rav Singh Yeah. I was asked to write a poem in school about gun crime and I turned that into something like a George the Poet track. So inspirational.

[@ravsingh1576]

+KNIGH7 That's interesting. There's alot of ways you can choose to write about it. George the Poet writes about personal experience and society and "the system". What is your views and experience with guns? don't reveal too much on here lol.

[@ravsingh1576]

+KNIGH7 It does sound interesting. You should Copyright it and upload it on KZbin.

[@sarahtem4107]

Oh gosh, that was truly beautiful

[@eastLDNhackney]

wow this is amazing

[@brittrips08]

This man is a legend and if we all shared his views the world would finally be at peace! Much respect G the poet!!

[@monotype5]

This is unbelievable needs more publicity and recognition

[@alicejones4073]

Love this..

[@stephaniespy7786]

Aaah, this spoken word. Bloody incredible and so true.I'm sure a few people are squriming at the honesty in this. #REPLAY

[@Glow0110]

Next Level. Raw Talent. Real Hip Hop. Lyricism at it's Finest. Speaking Truth. Music with a Real Message. One Love.

[@bloodyqwerty1]

Most accesible poet of today. Talks of difficult issues in a creative and coherent way. Defines poetry. The late Gil Scott-Heron said why would you want poets to make things more complex, two whinos can make things more complex". Yes iyah!

[@gregormacdougall9953]

true words on deaf ears

[@rooneyzwifey]

Kaki. Qqqqq Lasso💰📡💰💰💰

[@jasonrenicks7670]

Had to pause it and make a comment just b4 the 1st hook dropped wow propa truth sick lyrics why can't we have more British poets/lyricist's like this guy , impressed and proud simultaneously and ent even heard the rest of the tune yet ! What does that tell you !!! .

[@moniislam4646]

I honestly just have no words.

[@punkistiinuemorti]

Glad I discovered this. This is amaziong

[@lewisc1924]

In 500 years time, people will study George The Poet in their history lessons. Every poem he produces casts more light over the shadows that engulf the society that sits beneath the London skyline. Please George NEVER SELL OUT!

[@lewisc1924]

4 years later, this guy is still producing pure genius, and still the mainstream ignore him. George is the answer.

[@JD_99.]

We need to get more publicity for spoken word artists like George and suli breaks!

[@FoxyGotGame]

Why am I just hearing about this man? Very true and inspirational poem. I love the honesty - it is raw, to the point.

[@andymrkipling]

The man is fantastic.. great lyrics.

[@philpheburbs]

I think a more appropriate title for this video is 'George The Poet at the Live Lounge (featuring music by Maverick Sabre)'... This is so much more than a covered chorus...

[@nunezcrystal0710]

[@keithmartin8645]

We need more people like George. It’s a shame he will never reach the heights that he should because he goes against the grain. I wish him well

[@DJB4UX]

This is powerful. Respect to all involved.

[@jordanburgess]

George is doing something special. He makes it very easy to get behind him.
