[@thomasjacobson9102]

VicariousClouds I'll be honest I've been listening to tech for a few years but never realized Krizz looked like that. I knew he's been a main part of tech's crew for years but damn he's good.

[@trevorprice9879]

krizz has so much soul and the way he sings his voice is angelic

[@realityhurts8697]

Krizz has one hell of a range, the more hear from this man the more he impresses. Every damn time he changes it and pulls it off seamlesly

[@masontroglen3413]

Dude got mad talent.

[@vkrtzs]

The part when Krizz starts singing touches my heart

[@susansilva6247]

Nothing comes to his voice. Ita so unique and gives me goose bumps

[@TourmalineFilms]

Yeah, my favourite part of the song is the chorus but this song is sick all the way through so that's saying a lot.

[@lindarubio1998]

Just met Krizz at the hotel I’m working at. He’s full of heart & soul. Was super sweet and nice to me. Let my deaf mom with a heart condition that was currently visiting me at work talk to him and took a pic with her. When I showed her his videos and who he was as a person her eyes lite up like shooting stars in the sky and got all hyper and said I’m going to get a pic with that man. His words were I wish I knew sign language to talk to her ❤️ love the meaning behind his video. You did awesome krizz

[@faiththeunknownbeing8126]

That's honestly the sweetest thing I've read

[@arkansasnate456]

Linda Rubio that's beautiful

[@Kroggnagch]

That makes me so fuckin happy to read. Sounds like he is a genuinely good person. Fuck yea, God bless that man! I'm happy you were able to have such an awesome experience with meeting Krizz.

[@kylein9869]

Your comment gave me chills

[@lindarubio1998]

Thanks guys. He is a good guy behind closed doors. And was a sweet heart. Funny thing is I had no clue who he was. I treated him as normal even after I found out who he was. But with care of course bc that’s my line of work I take care of people. But that meant the world to me how he was with my mom.

[@CrustyButticus]

Krizz Kaliko's voice, that is all. Holy hell, he puts all other R&B today to shame

[@c1sco044]

amen to that

[@sebstenator]

Dammit you beat me to it haha

[@davidsmith-uw2ci]

Thats not really saying much tho bcuz real R&B is dying everyone is doing pop nowadays & now there's not many true R&B artists left im glad Ginuwine still making music Tank & Avant, Dave Hollister, Charlie Wilson we need dru hill & 112, kci & jo jo boys 2 men Silk & the list can go on those were the real R&B artists & we have Krizz Kaliko now

[@eastyentertainment3tv833]

[@drummerboy0620]

This song is more relevant today than ever. Tech is just showing his mastery here. Took a lot of balls to release something that looks at both sides of the situation. Thanks man. Lovin it

[@JamesDaniel217]

I believe the term mastery is racist now

[@NoversalStudios]

James Daniel For real it seems that way sometimes.

[@mjja4783]

It’s always been relevant.... just because the media is finally showing things doesn’t mean it didn’t happen a tooooon before We see what they want us to see, they can’t control us anymore that’s all that’s changed This song is goated tho you got that right Much love

[@randyh.7782]

Whenever I hear Krizz Kaliko sing, I say to myself...How come today's R&B singers don't have soul like that, the way the did in the 1990's? Krizz Kaliko has a beautiful singing voice. I loved the way he laced this song with his vocals.

[@Twm532]

Modern R&B is just production line bullshit designed to be the next big hit.

[@randyh.7782]

Tom Clark Bingo!

[@loganstone1655]

Randy H. teck needs to.take over mainstream rap and Chris needs to take over mainstream rnb get music back to the roots and wash out all this bullshit on the radio

I fit the description It's two of them rushing me I'm on a solo mission To get people to listen, but they pushing and kicking me I'm on the ground when they telling me, "Cause of a gun suspicion" It was in my pocket, ain't trying pop it When they scared of a brother with a gun no one can stop it Then one of em lost it, and then I was shot quick Officers took me to heaven, I'm dead and with multiple rockets Didn't matter I was good and living inside a mansion next to ball players 'Cause of the move he made was drastic now I lay in a casket carried by my pallbearers Fears what I see, making em kill a G Rotten apple in the batch; don't tell the rest to flee This happened in Baton, R-O-U-G-E, even I fit the description What if it was me? [Verse 3: Krizz Kaliko] What if it was me What if I never got the one chance to be Everything and everywhere I go, I wouldn't see If by your hand you took that from me But what if it was me? Laying right there I'll never get up again, it's so unfair My babies cry out You never cared Things that we do make each other so scared So what if it was you there? (Should I just) Take your life (Should I bust) Make your wife widowed, withered, hugging the pillow The scent of you still on her Spirit she feels on her The whole world weeps Blood we all spill on her And I know, it’s ill will; the pill’s hard to swallow How should I feel when I'm being followed (followed) By the words that should save me? (Crazy) They just take my life (take my life) [Outro: Krizz Kaliko & Tech N9ne] I gotta fight, all of the night with cops, crips, bloods with sore fists I gotta fight, all of the night with cops, crips, bloods with sore fists I gotta fight, all of the night with cops, crips, bloods with sore fists I gotta fight, all of the night with cops, crips, bloods with sore fists and them Nazis

Amazing song. I love how it shows both sides of how if a cop hesitates, they could be shot, but if they don't they are villified, regardless of if it is the right move or not.

[@findusuli]

+Kenny Hassal. Bullshit. There are lots of asshole cops, but there are lots of "good cops" too. You only notice the other ones more because no ones reports about a police man who did his job (by not doing shit), thus, just walked down the street or sth. Gosh.

[@findusuli]

Kenny Hassal Yeah, sure.

[@findusuli]

Kenny Hassal Oh, come on. YES, there are awful stupid a*shole cops who need to be imprisoned for a long time to reflect on their narcisstic BS way of seeing things, but that doesn't mean that every single cop is like that. Thinking like that is just stupid and naive. It's like saying "all politicians are corrupt" or sth. Just not logical. There are countless police men who are safing people and risk their lifes, but nooo, everyone's an as*hole, eh, because everyone who wants to become a cop just wants to so that he can do shit, eh? Can't believe you're serious about this, since this is just unbelievable ridicilous and unrealistic.

[@demes756]

Kenny Hassal What are you portraying about the election and what is your perception on cops ? Many here are under the assumption of your character because you are being rather vague . Can I have some clarification as to come from a position of sagacity and not a naive perspective . I think discussing this would be productive . I have a notebook of recorded incidents of black men being shot and written in detail the reports and conclusions of whats happened in those situations . Even though more whites were killed by cops in 2015 I did so as it is relative to a different discussion . If your stance is Whites are perpetuating racial oppression in society leading to the fatal treatment of blacks then I won't argue as that is a conspiracy that would invalidate those against you as ones perpetrating this in society .

who*

[@kelsyerscluster7936]

i like he is putting himself on both sides of the issue. saying to look at it from both sides. i think that is a more nuanced view of the issue.

[@kelsyerscluster7936]

worth a few play through's to make sure i got it all.

[@borislav6561]

kelsyer the human lightning rod i don't know about that. he's taking the cops' side. guy wearing red (assumption is he is a blood) and having a gun in his pocket (never showed that it was something else). if it was unbiased the guy would be wearing neither a blue nor a red shirt and they would show that he had something other than a gun in his pocket in the "alternate reality."

[@kelsyerscluster7936]

or he is showing it how he see's it. from where he is standing. putting himself in both positions. i said there was a lot going on here, now you disagree, as in you assume i am for or against blm. that would be a mistake. i think everything he did was intentional. because he said that. maybe he is just saying "hey could have been me, what if it was me? maybe i should show how i see it. because i could be that guy back in the day." and showing it as he can see it. what would be your issue with that?

[@jonbrown9937]

Bori Slav or is the alternate reality trying to show what the cop thought was going to happen. The cop told him multiple times not to reach into his pocket and the guy still did. His life is on the line and it comes to him or me. I think tech was trying to project both sides.

[@kelsyerscluster7936]

It's simple. He commits the cardinal sin, of portraying both sides, equally. Since he portrays cops in a sympathetic tone, he is ostracized. Can't have that these days.

[@Jonathan_Douglas]

@@ckmoore101 he's just not popular. I live in Kansas City and I am 18, I am a rapper. I based my rap name off Tech N9ne, when I went to school nobody was listening to him. They said he makes "Cringe & Strange Music". And I went to 3 different high schools with 3 different crowds of people. He really is only listened to by people 28 and older. The younger audience unfortunately isn't here and that always makes it hard to get any attention, even though he is an OG at this point. But I'll rep Tech till he dies and goes even harder.

This is deep. It not only pulls out the cop's side on things very well but the person getting shot too. I agree that cops have the hard decision and I agree the people don't want to die. It is way deeper than most "Hiphop" goes today. Tech and Krizz deserve more of a fanbase.

[@Woodrow512]

Fanbase isnt as big because its easy for most people to stick to drugs and bling narrative/lyrics, but actually listening to a track and thinking about the message? Spending time decoding lyrics and giving a thought to what was said? Too many people are too lazy for that sadly, party music is the easy way out cuz you dont even have to listen to it, its background shit most of the time that you just hear

I'm glad this song acknowledges that both sides are tough, instead of 4 minutes of saying "fuck cops, black lives matter!"

[@bluedreamkush2392]

Trump 2016 nope he isn't he's trying to make people like you that think blm is a joke to at least put yourselves in those victims and families shoes. blm doesn't mean only their lives matter, all lives matter but right now black lives are suffering more so let's focus on that and to get rid of these cops that get away with murder.

[@beniciosanchez4034]

He actually does, in the second scenario the second cop "Krizz Kaliko" says to the first cop "Tech N9ne" to not shoot and calm down but the accused criminal pulls a gun and shoots. Showing that in the same time and place it could go wrong for both sides.

[@123cops]

Trump 2016 he does acknowledge both sides at one point but at the end he says it himself he still have to go against cops, racists white folks and his own race! Notice he just doesn't say white people! Because he knows there is also a problem with blacks killing each other!

[@Writeraprepeat]

+123cops +Benicio Sanchez What in the... how do you recognize he says both sides are tough, but go on to act like the dead blackman side isn't tough? He is definitely is explaining to put yourself in the VICTIMS/VICTIMS FAMILY shoes ON EITHER SIDE. That it hurts each side equally. I'm sure if you asked Tech he would still tell you black lives matter. I can say black lives matter and still care about people who aren't black. did you know that? nah. you just want your fucked up ass tunnel vision to be the truth. and it's not.

[@bigboyvapereviews6814]

you do realize black lives matter group was labeled as a terrorist threat, the female leader Alicia Garza was labeled as a domestic Terrorist before the BLM movement even started, if they were against violence, then why do they promote it against someone else? as one of the famous chants talked about "Pigs" being fried, Police have been attacked by BLM activist, yet its still just they are the victims

[@jjs6568]

Damn right. He gave both angles, this is how to bring the truth out. Acknowledge both sides and call the danger both sides may potentially face.

[@InfernosReaper]

both sides could have good people in a bad situation, bad people making a bad situation, or some mix. It's definitely important to remember that it's not always cut & dry. Not every cop that shoots is a monster, nor is every person who gets shot shot by a saint. I have a bias against police, because of my personal experiences with them, but I do try to keep that in mind.

[@InfernosReaper]

@Hitsuran Much as endorsing the gangster life needs to stop, hero-worshiping and demonizing cops also needs to stop. All 3 will go a long way in improving things, but there's a fundamental problem with the governments of big cities that needs to be addressed as well. The system as it is now really doesn't support such high population environments.

[@angelamiller2577]

[@dakotarousseau8280]

Toongriff so true though some don't get it but it's reality

[@svmeyer04]

I'm a police officer and this song hits it hard. The boil up of what Tech could have been with all his paths in life. At the end the Officers have to make the decision to shoot or not to shoot. Who gets to go home to their family? Did he have a gun? Do you wait to see if he has a gun? Reaching for your pocket when told not to is a huge threat. No matter the outcome this situation is never easy, this is all too common and I wish we never had to deal with this situation. Hats off to you Tech. Great job showing both points of view.

[@ikariim]

I think this entire situation could be avoided if guns were illegal

[@commie4164]

sadly laws only apply to the lawful. the situation would still occur regardless.

[@ikariim]

Maybe so, but I've never seen this kind of thing happen in England, where I live. Heck, I've never even *seen* a real gun.

[@commie4164]

ive never seen england. does that mean it doesent exist? of course not. thats what we call anecdotal evidence. the sample size is too small to be reliable.

[@ikariim]

But that doesn't change the fact that England still has comically less deaths by firearms per capita than the US. I'm sure a quick Google search would prove my point.

Delontae sounds like you need a wake up call. not every rapper raps about this, about police shooting down blacks because they think they have guns or they are scared. only other two people i have heard of doing that is hopsin and eminem. if you are talking about artists like lil wayne name a song where he talks about something wrong in this world!? don't worry i'll wait. all the rappers are rapping about money, drugs, & pussy. nothing else. take a chill pill and don't worry about if i'm "hip" or not. have a nice day sweetheart 😘

This message needs to be known, at the end of the day we're all humans & all are equal. This the kinda shit that needs to be taught to the children, we're one. We all have family & all want to see another day. If everybody equally valued human life things like this wouldn't happen. This divide between police & citizens wouldn't exist if more cops were held accountable for their actions on the force tho, at the same time we can't just assume all cops are evil & treat them as such. Shit's sad but I'm really feeling this & appreciate your message tech.

[@jedarodrjedarodr7542]

To make things interesting, human beings are not all created equal just as no tree is exactly proportionate to it's counterpart. Laws are created to remedy this inequity, a baseline standard or precedent will always step on somebody's toes. This is because what the word of the law is and what laws actually do can in effect be two different things.
