It weird how 2009 was the future for them

[@megazoned3973]

Really? Dinner was the future for them too.

[@joshuggah1]

It is the future because in 1974 no one would be able to comprehend the progression of civil rights, technology, or movie production and how it would be. At the time people may believe the fact that we could have a computer in our hands, but not fully understand the experience of it and what we are capable oft doing with it.

[@Letsbehonest37]

People are going to be living off click bait forever lmao

[@CrowdPleeza]

Sly & The Family Stone were Prince & The Revolution before Prince & The Revolution.

[@huckleberries1916]

A lot of respect and genuine honest questions and sincere thoughtful answers...great interviews dont happen anymore🙁!

[@wandasapp3698]

if you watch all the shows sly did on mike douglas, he did a lot of predictions that came true. i watched all them in 2013 and sly was ON POINT. he predicted a black president in 2009. he said that he wanted to be a living legend. and he is a legend that is still living. some men asked him or sort of hinted to him how he was handling his money. he defended himself but he did end up broke the way they hinted that he would. someone needs to do an analogy of all of sly stone's old interviews. his mind was way ahead of him. a very wise man. it's eerie how what he said came true. from the 1970s. look into his old interviews. i think he was being guided by a spirit. i think he would have been much more amazing and would have gotten way more credit if it wasn't for his drug addiction problem. a genius gone to waste. but lived to tell about it. it gets no better.

[@deeg8849]

Sly was and still is one of the greatest talents and human beings around.

[@regidon793]

yh ok go watch sly with ali on this same show then u will say something else about sly lol u people crack me up with your opinions

[@deeg8849]

@@regidon793 Sly was on the money with Ali. I dig Ali in many ways but he had an ugly side as well (the way he talked to other boxers - for example calling Frazier an Ape ). On that show, Sly called him out and when Ali put his finger in Sky’s face, he told him straight out to get his finger out of his face. When Ali was being strung along by the Nation of Islam talking dangerous generalizations about all white people, Sly was inclusive with his band, audience and music talking don’t hate the black - don’t hate the white - if you get bitten just hate the bite. Sly stay true to this message to this day. Ali wisely transitioned once he stopped being a follower and decided to lead his own life. I love em both, but at this point in time - Sly was the real deal

[@williambell7279]

I wouldn’t say he predicted the Black Panther movie this is completely misleading. I do love his idea he had for his movie and how it could be considered him predicting The Black Panther movie! But it was just a matter of time before Black Panther was made. I mean it’s a Marvel movie. Panther has been around since before I was a kid. Can’t give him credit for something he didn’t do.

[@reimourrpower9357]

clickbait...

[@000JonnyBoothworthy]

ReiMourr Power agreed... yet... more worthy of a watch than most...

[@000JonnyBoothworthy]

William Bell Sly got some spiritual depth... which brings the wisdom he shows in the answers to the questions...

[@mcclendonreport]

William Bell, don't try to steal the thunder of what the poster meant. The poster was suggesting that Sly was way ahead of his time. The thoughts expressed by Sly paralleled those which were espoused in the film. The overarching take away from Black Panther was that the more advanced Wakandans were not bent on world domination and hatred the way the "colonizers" were (and are).

[@_spoon_fed_chronicles_3289]

William Bell He covered the most important pivotal point. The point as to why blacks are in the position we're in now. That would be HATE AND RACISM!

[@dianne8340]

Damn Sly was a good looking man and a talented musician. Damn those drugs!

[@onestunningdude9445]

Sly and the Family... great musicians. Hip Hop sampled so much of their music.

[@desmondnathalielewisthelio7776]

I like him I never knew of him I am looking him up now

[@kaylaallison5471]

I love sly and the family stone! I always thought sly's sideburns were so cool!!☺

[@spirithawk2418]

Grew up on Sly !! Thank you Momma. Sly got his money too finally. Such a genius

[@PhatGirlLuvr68Comix]

Sly had an overwhelming idea of the films we've all wanted for decades. Powerful, positive images of people of all tones of color. BP by fate just ended up being the tipping point for that to happen.

[@anthonycole1373]

A wise man with a good heart RESPECT bro

[@starling9172]

We would be as one. You will be remembered Sly

[@rollsroyce7385]

that is one cool brother😊👍👍

[@myman8336]

Rolls royce Lol

[@ladyhydrojen531]

*Thanks Sly for bringing more SOUL MUSIC into my life. I'll never forget your contributions to BLACK MUSIC! I likes this channel. Thanks for sharing this.* 📣📣📣📣👌🏾

[@wmoreland06]

He predicted "White Man's Burden" came out in the 90's staring Harry Belafonte and John Travolta

[@redcomic619]

wmoreland06 the premise of that movie was good but it turned out shitty

[@dmbatman2922]

Also avatar he said 2009

[@bigunity]

It sounds more like "white mans burden" not "black panther"

[@DominiqueMarsell]

EXACTLY, was thinking that and glad someone already thought of it.

[@NicolesView1984]

I agree that's what I was thinking too.

[@bigunity]

FUCK Google you obviously have no idea what I'm talking about Google and watch the movie " white mans burden" I think you will enjoy it

[@abdulhouser]

bigunity That movie was good, but familiar.

[@RJCHOICE]

bigunity Exactly what I was going to say

[@wrldonwill]

A lil click bait never hurt anybody. Nice.

[@skt8929]

William Howell agree good to a video that isnt clitbait for once

[@adrianthayes]

Sounds like the movie White Man's Burden with Harry Belafonte and John Travolta

[@KenpoKid77]

Hadrelius Haze I was thinking the same exact same thing, this is White Man's Burden

[@DJHansSolo]

Just making sure I wasn't the only one that peeped that

[@teddypeters1277]

You are right he predicted the movie "White Man's Burden"

[@Crushmore404]

Yeah, except for the black majority in that movie were prejudiced.

[@adrianthayes]

Anthony Tate That was the the point of the movie. Reflecting the swap of position and power

[@dr.philgoodtv146]

Sly Stone born in Denton Texas!

[@sashaminx75]

Dr. Phil Good TV glad he escaped 😱😂

[@tytantyphlosion2910]

That’s my hometown too...damn I never knew this in Sly

[@FrankWillTV]

940

[@dr.philgoodtv146]

FrankWillTV before 940 when I was a kid the area code was 817

[@iaminhuman9357]

I live like a hour from there

[@clever4sure]

He's describing the movie white man's burden

[@jkang9905]

He didn't predict the movie. His outlook is optimistic and I like it. In terms of the premise of this video it's garbage and misleading

[@tommiereed7239]

hater

[@atomsee5839]

Damn Sly 2009 and 2018 ,we still going through the same shit , even worst now

[@emeseoseni5670]

We love you Sly Stone!!!!! Grew up with your music!!!

[@regidon793]

yh ok go watch sly with ali on this same show then u will say something else about sly lol u people crack me up with your opinions

[@annetteharrison1039]

I use to love to watch Sly and the Family Stones perform. He was an AMAZING performer!!!

[@soniaanderson4445]

Thank God for music to heal our souls and express ourselves and give us joy.

[@Deadlad]

Interesting

[@joesam7744]

Keylel Kerrin He was off by 9 years, but I'll give him credit.

[@designatedpiledriver8216]

Not really. People forget that the black panther was created in 1966

[@JOOTUBEIsTheChildrenOfTheDevil]

What's also interesting is that Sly Stone has a similar voice tone and appearance like/to Michael B Jordan.

[@brixton144]

There is nothing wrong with digging in the crates, especially when it deals with yesterday's imagination of the future we now live in Everything is everything.

[@The843legendz]

Only click bait I'll ever give a W.

[@tommiereed7239]

a lot of stupid comments do anyone know brotha sly personally I think not let's just enjoy his great talent man I wish I can get down with the funk rock soul this genius brother had and don't we all

[@chiefeaglefeather5307]

Very close to predicting the Black panther time and style of the movie. And it is now done and a huge success.

[@nish_amos2393]

Honestly he looks and sounds like the dude that produced the 2018 black panther movie ... Face similarity and voice has so much eco with depth 😱❤ reincarnation

[@destinyphongmany5706]

Damn, he pretty much proclaimed it.

[@garyfunderburk7233]

43 yrs later ....and here it is.

[@NaijaCINE]

IF you're African and grew up in African or the Carribean, this is your reality. We are all black, it is what is is.

[@renvicjack628]

that man was surely fine back in the day ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@slystone8750]

Renda Thanks so much for been a true fan, if you dont mind inbox me your phone number so i can get to know a true fan much [e-mail]

[@geoffprice9583]

Regardless of whatever movie may be closest to this description, it can't be said that he "predicted" anything, because he described his premise on national television. Any movie made after that time resembling what he said could have been influenced by what he said. You'd have to ask the writer of White Man's Burden if he ever saw this interview or talked about the concept with anyone who may have seen it.

[@T.image79]

That is not no way a black Panther prediction. Wesley Snipes wanting to do a Black Panther movie over 10years ago....now that’s closer to predicting a Black Panther movie.

[@TruthSerum101]

Stretching.

[@viralbuthow000]

To quote a lyric Sly's "Running Away". lol

[@mariahreed6092]

OD lol

[@RealWorldAviationandGaming9392]

Sly Stone was the _ _ _ _ back then and I still enjoy listening to his music...Super Cool and who wasn't during that time!

[@MrRolledstoned]

And I think his idea plays out in the intro for Black Panther when Killmongers father is telling him the story of Wakanda as a boy. Very good video 💯

[@mirrbaby9854]

😭 . he has a cool ass demeanor .

[@ADSLIVE_]

I truly love your platform! Thank you for sharing these amazing images of the CULTURE 👑👏. .GOD BLESS YOU!

[@reelblack]

muchos gracias. your words made my day. please tell others so we can have even greater days.

[@krisc2535]

What he was saying sounded a bit more like Star Trek TNG, but not as far in the future, where black people become the majority but learn to put differences aside

[@Jae_Cee]

Sly knew Afrofuturism was the way xo

[@IchbinX]

His movie already happened. It's called "White Man's Burden" with John Travolta.

[@ryanramirez1710]

Black panther was created in 1966 but stared in the 52nd comic book of fantastic four for his first appearance

[@Free_3.0]

I was too distracted by the one hosts unibrow. It spoke much louder than sly! 🤣🤣

[@Top0ne]

Damn my dude looks just Like Trinidad James All Golf Everything🤣🤣😂😂

[@yaboinoname]

bruh 20 09 2009 damn bro black panther came out like 10 years later we know Slys a genius

[@kingsaintides7227]

Knew it was click bait...still clicked. Feels bad bro

[@RealJudah144]

When I look back at the sixties and seventies with my mother and her family was coming up and I see the people that were entertainers on TV at the time them brothers was like aliens they had a different Allure to them they all seem to speak with a higher conscious like they had a mission to be able to look bvk is powerful... The internet is time travel🔥👑🦁

[@Backpackfiles]

The clickbait is strong AF. And that is too bad because this was a cool, if too brief, moment with Uncle Sly.

[@jonathantaylor4034]

on the money sly

[@ronmosely8355]

The White Man's Burden with Belafonte, and John Travolta

[@Sand9woman]

In principle Sly did predict the making of the Black-s(adj) PANTHER; Major elements from the movie are in his speech in essence #discernment #IAmBornMastering #IAmBornLeading

[@Danno1850]

He described a totally different movie. One I would like to see though.

[@johnrussell1248]

Buddy was smooth af thuo , that's probably how my pops dressed

[@ereisfireboi]

Prediction? That's pretty funny, but you have to word your titles to attract views, i respect it

[@tracydavis5253]

they should do a major motion picture about the life of sly stone And NICK CANNON. should play him

[@SooMajor]

Click bait but still dope video. Kinda crazy because I was tempted to write a script similar to this almost a year ago, glad I seen this

[@ComicPower]

He was getting recruited by the Black Panther party but he was not down for there militant politics. He was about peace and love to achieve equality and not militancy.

[@srrings]

The Star

[@parrishharris3008]

I would say this is click bait, but I think he probably/might of been talking about 2 movies that's been out for years now but it's not Black Panther.

[@endtimes9222]

The brother knew he was a isrealite.

[@shawntucker7440]

End Times I also believe he did

[@3rdtonalkiller]

Star of molech but yes he did

[@snoopy_peanuts_77]

wtf.....so thats what it is now? any "woke" person is considered an "Israelite" now whether they claim it or not eh ?

[@shawntucker7440]

Vernon Hector nooo that’s not it we all have been lie to in America

[@snoopy_peanuts_77]

dude stop you're not going to recycle that book yet again for your own purposes....we have so much now that we dont need to rely on fairytales to know the truth....and no......its not some fantasy involving the bible

[@enoch927able]

To my black culture! Let me break don't down the description of the what sly said about the black panther movie For one he did predict the movie just in his words. Second to those brothers that said he didn't understand your comments of this video is the very words use by sly to discribe how we still think today. Third hollyfuck Wil never the truth story of our party so yes sly did in fact do what the title says

[@kingraj333]

He predicted a vague idea of Wakanda. Nothing more than that. Still, sly seems like chill cat. I fuck with it.

[@itsREALTALKTV]

Clickbait has my civil rights game on fleek

[@lolatu513]

I predicted the whole Infinity War movie back in 1991 on everything it was in my TV guide in my dreams and my childhood friends still remember me telling them💯💯💯💯💯

[@jojosaylor8996]

Sly Stone for Wakanda President!!!

[@704bossesbmbent9]

Here For Sly ..

[@TheRawrevelations]

Oh i think he was predicting that he and the guy that played the orange panther in the movie would look very much alike. But i missed it so let me rewind.... -_-

[@KenpoKid77]

Like several others have pointed out...if he predicted any movie, it's White Man's Burden starring Harry Belafonte and John Travolta. Very interesting take on racial and class issues.

[@KanWoo76]

Too bad Sly fell victim of the times. He's definitely one of the greats!

[@jeromecastillo6507]

He is predicting the future there will be new and better rule of law.

[@iahelcathartesaura3887]

❤😃 ❤❤ Sly ❤❤ 😎❤

[@Wavemaninawe]

"Youre alwaus in your own space and your own time." Dude... 😂

[@crystalclearmedia3554]

wow

[@leahcimwerdna5209]

I'm pretty sure this PROVES he never predicted that Black Panther would be a movie...

[@sheysingleton9683]

It sounds like the movie "White Man's Burden" with Harry Belafonte

[@Imagemakerstudios]

Hell I thought this was Trinidad James...

[@Gamersroundtable]

It’s sounds like he was talking about the plot in “White man’s burden “ than black panther

[@tjmmatthews2930]

wow he looked like a very cool black Elvis , what he would look like he was African American , even his outfit and voice was like a black King

[@trinityv2]

Damn I didn't know we had a black Sylvester Stallone. Before my time I guess

[@TheOmegaone007]

Notice that movie never got made to this day. Prediction my foot.

[@Dlszczech]

I'm surprised by the like to dislike ratio. Sly's one of the most sauve motherfuckers to ever live but that doesn't warrant 1k likes for some clickbait

[@thef.a.c.e.foundation8316]

[@g4cee]

No no no, he predicted "Next Friday"

[@marylynburnett1325]

I believe that too, in this time period. It could happen.

[@darkgable68]

Black Panther comic came out in 1966!

[@robnorwood2951]

Instead of 2009 it came in 2018 ✊🏾

[@jackanddiane4926]

I didn’t hear him predict the movie. Generalizations about a type of movie is not a prediction
