Black Ice - The Ugly Show

[@rabigreene1698]

I wish they would bring back Def Poetry. There is so much to say in response to the actions of our times but no medium to voice our thoughts anymore.

[@chelseanorwood3855]

Rabi Greene So true... I really wish they would bring it back

[@jojozzy]

Chelsea Norwood check out "Brave New Voices" or "verses and flow" Rabi Greene

[@khanyisilemangalisomatshik75]

I think that we as connoisseurs of real music should actually petition the TV stations to stop playing this bullshit they call music

[@Akilahfoye]

There is All Def Poetry channel here on youtube

[@DeniseBranch-n1r]

SO VERY TRUE ❤️

[@sharoniecannon275]

2023 and its like ive watched it for the 1st time! I wish theyd bring this back!

[@knightlife22]

The fact that so many of his poems and performances are still so relative is crazy. That ending was unbelievable.

[@RobbyBlueStar]

2023, December 2nd. Still relevant.

[@roltthehunter]

No doubt one of the best performances of poetry out there, a true artist.

[@denisebranch4719]

My favorite performance poet❤️❤️

[@ahoued42]

Man I keep coming back to ice years later! I remember listening to him as a teen. He definitely resonated deeply!

[@salomelanivia7496]

I wish there was a 'video of the year' button I would murder it...love and respect from one corner of the world to another

[@justinamshaw]

"We live in a beautiful world but ugly souls push the button."

The world needs more people like Black Ice

[@cparks1]

I Absolutly Love This Poem...

[@Oba_Ewaunfo_]

This show was waaaay to dangerously filled with truth through spoken word. Pieces like this is why the powers that be had to cancel it. Probably one of the best spoken word pieces EVER!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@noobbsaiboot]

[@spraypoly58jt]

Black Ice is one of the coldest poets in the world,tht has ever done it,that includes all spoken words.

[@bravohimz]

[@AdantePratt]

dedicated to brother #AltonSterling

[@abdiriginal]

goosebumps !! this was reality spoken words

[@mussman717word]

Classic... hits the very pit of my soul, bro.

[@jasminedavis5051]

I WOULD LOVE 2 DATE BLACK ICE....HIS SKILLS WITH HIS WORDS OF REALITY TURNS ME ON!

[@rangemusic]

one of the illest ever to spit it... wow. always wow...

[@CapAdGroup]

I especially like the way he makes modern day rappers like Little Wayne, Rick Ross and *insert random rapper's name here* look like the simple-minded fools that they are. Black Ice is the kind of poet who makes you listen, then take a a break, rewind, then listen again. Most of us here would consider themselves lucky if we could touch one-hundreth of the amount of people Black Ice touches with his poetry. Much props to ya BI, and i'm sorry our species is so fucked up to force you into this!

[@dublejaygotwork]

this iz da best poem i heard in my life

[@chayangel815]

WOW! Very powerful words. Sad but true!

[@anyssa43]

Wow, very interesting. I read up a little bit on it so far. Thank you for the source

[@wisdometernal]

You can probably google it; but I say just buy the album. By the time you're done playing it you'll know every track by heart. I do...And this one is incredible as is but the music he put behind it when he did it for the album it's amazing.

[@AtheneHolder]

i dont see how the hell 22 ppl could dislike THE TRUTH

[@wisdometernal]

[@drayofchilastra]

TWO WORDS: HIGH. ART.

[@groundnpound702]

This whole poem goes beyond hurricane Katrina. It might be a predominant subject, but it is so much deeper than that event (and what happened to black people at that time).

[@LindaLynn93]

GOT DAMN HE IS VERY DEEP AND TOUCHING

[@modelNactress]

[@acndubk]

Powerful message.

[@AGB1021]

Damn I hope that ALL people are hearing and listening to what this man talks about, he is deep, Black people its time to get your SH!T together and stop blaming others for our downfall. Time to love one another and help each other, so TOGETHER we can rise as a race, its time to get out the bottom of the barrel!

[@Tzarlo]

For those who dislike this. The truth is hate for people who hate the truth.

[@AVIXO_SL]

Yes he is a rapper who has been on rap city the basement and he has done nike commercials you have to know who he is when you are listening to his music...

[@JMar0801]

Amazing.

[@jafrocubic2]

@An0therBr0ther You're definitely right. But some people outside Def Poetry did take notice. I heard him on K-Salaam and Beatnik's album "Whose World Is This" and it's one of the best tracks on the whole album.

[@musiqtrick]

hotdayyumm,.. i just got me some chills

[@Diamonddina]

"We live in a beautiful world, but ugly souls push the buttons..." whattttttttt??? **snapping fingers** unreal

[@Troublesome2008]

More than1,800 people died in hurricane Katrina, making it the deadliest U.S. hurricane since 1928. Total property damage was $81 billion. I remember Katrina because she hit land on my 27th birthday (August 29, 2005). I wasn't there (i'm from Europe), but around here we were amazed how things got so out of hand in the mighty USA. The mayor of New Orleans was actually calling the radio for help. And in the first few days, the media was only interested in the looting that was going on.

[@halfcrazy12]

i know what happen in Katrina is a tragedy. but i just want to mention when that happened besides popular belief the military was mobilized and giving support. and i know this because when the hurricane hit and the flood broke out I was stationed at MCAS Miramar working the transient line. and i remember the first week i was workin 12-20 hour shifts loading planes with supplies for relief. by the end of september over a million lbs of cargo was sent out for relief.

[@WavyAF]
