FIRST TIME LISTEN | PROF - Louisiana (Official Music Video) | REACTION!!!!!

[@TheTrashKanyon9401]

that in the video was the capital building not the white house, the military were deployed in Minneapolis. Prof was born in minneapolis, never left and has a home 4 minutes from where the riots happened. he sat in his yard all day hosing mace off of people and helping any way he could.

[@jenniferlovelee]

I love hearing this about PROF. He’s the real deal

[@andrewpeterson3302]

Living in Minneapolis, the saddest thing I ever seen was the signs on the local shops saying "please don't burn, we live above" Shit broke my heart.

[@YourPalHDee]

Ahh man, that's devastating

[@andrewpeterson3302]

@@YourPalHDee places I have frequented my entire life are either closed for good or burned to the ground. Super sucks.

[@sidhedanu]

And now you should watch the live filmed performance of Flower Boy (& Louisiana).

[@Podobed]

I got my head on the swivel....but who expects snakes in the middle?- what?!!!!!

[@chrischristensen6527]

This needs a million views. Ive been watching thjs channel for a minute. But this unity is what we need now. Music and culture have no color.

[@EandJ937]

Check out flower boy and spellbound 👀

[@andrewpeterson3302]

Their used to be an old old song that was about Louisiana where they guy would sing "come to great Louisiana Louisiana , everything is great in Louisiana Louisiana " and such. I'm assuming he used that as a sample to this song, but its really just a metaphore for needed to get tf out of town.

[@blitzthis77]

How the hell did I miss this reaction the first time? I thought I had seen all your Prof tracks. What a hell of a year discovering Ray, Prof, Ren and Dotta. Thanks!

[@CoolHandRobb]

Great anecdote about the Bodega in your hood.

[@shawn59fifty]

18:20 is what the whole world needs to hear!! 2500 views ain’t enough. Needs about 3 million more.

[@lauhautree]

Stophouse is not a big operation! It takes a min but it's soooo worth it! Just bought my daughter her 1st Prof shirt and my 3rd!

[@whoroborous]

Stophouse is the best! I often send a little message when I buy shit, y'know in that paragraph at the bottom of the screen, right before you press the purchase button -- I say hi or tell folks they're rad or beautiful or that I'm thinking of them and hope they're having a decent day, whatever; I just try to say something halfway positive -- And Stophouse sent me a really lovely note back with my merch. It made my day! (They also sent me a fuckton of stickers, but that's beside the point -- The note was enough and it made me happy!) 🙃

[@demonicrebellion6903]

My brother, this is fucking beautiful. The music I already knew was fire because I rock it to and from work, but your reaction and your monologue was spectacular.

[@remissiveslave]

You're a real one for not playing the victim card and condoning bad behavior. Props.

[@blessedlikeasneeze]

What's crazy about the Minneapolis protests/riots that year is they were peaceful with little to no property damage until a single guy spray painted an AutoZone and smashed all the windows with a hammer and walked away. Look up Minneapolis Umbrella Man. It ended up being a white guy dressed in all black with a gas mask on and I believe he was a white supremacist with prior experience on the St. Paul police force. (I could be wrong on this, but that's what headlines were saying at the time.) With so many people in the streets, it likely would have turned to riots at some point anyway, but the fact that that particular area became violent due in large part to one person who didn't seem to be there for the right reasons makes the results even more tragic.

[@kierand600]

FRFR I grew up a few blocks from there and we kept our ish together. There was so much anger but we're not gonna burn our friend's places down

[@Ryancrisos]

This is his all-time best track. I had this one on repeat for a minute!

[@michaelgroetken7479]

The new album is fucking 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bobbyramirez5136]

Rap ... Real rap is evolving. Becoming the best, last form of expression and genius. This soap box platform mixed with Blue's folk soul sounding messages. Dare I say profetic

[@janabme]

I watch your content because you are real and dude I appreciate you so much for this video. All that stuff you said about living your life right and stop being stupid wasn't a message just for black people and as a white woman I heard your tough love toward me too. So thank you for that. And thanks for letting everyone know that we are all in this together. I appreciate you for real. Keep up the great work man. Love it!!

[@alexroxhissox]

Bro you about to give my dog a hernia. He sick, too. Nah but for real any other 33min reaction to a 3 minute song I woulda just skipped on principle. But you barring to be honest. I liked this reaction, it's important.

[@D.marie5587]

This song hits different. I feel it in my soul and somehow he brings back exactly how I felt at that time.

[@JP1348]

Gasoline.

[@janabme]

I'm gonna comment on every Prof reaction my favorite songs until you check them out man, I'm telling you man! Deadman shuffle and Action....don't come shit in my toilet and not flush 🤣

[@joshweaver7654]

I was gifted this cd from a good homie. I’ve been a Prof fan since he was on Rhymesayers doing cameos in Atmospheres millennium dodo video. Prof keeps getting better and better. A true artist.

[@chickenlittle5455]

Man I always rewatch your videos multiple times cause you the best reaction KZbin channel I’ve seen in a fat minute, your energy, intelligence, cadence, just everything bout you stands out in an amazing way! Thank you for making such amazing content fam!

[@noorieiversen]

Louisiana is directly south of Minneapolis - maybe he means he is about to go south - in the metaphorical sense.

[@alexmcdonald3992]

You've got to listen to the live version of this track! Goose bumps!!!

[@ccskiandrun]

our commiinity was strong it wasnt us but we walked also the missippi starts in Minnesota and ends in Lou so its like floating down the river to the end.

[@justinr4655]

Couldn’t of said it better than this man Ray! It’s doesn’t get realer than this.

[@TheTrashKanyon9401]

I hear this beat i get goose bumps.

[@JWolf568]

I respect your outlook so much. I am white but I grew up poor in the hood. As I’ve grown older, I’ve met MANY white people scared of black people. I never fully understood it until you explained your outlook in this video. It sorrows me. Some of my good friends are black and I never viewed them as scary. I have to explain to my fellow white people almost regularly that black people aren’t bad and that there is just bad people from all corners, alleys, and neighborhoods of humanity regardless of their race. This Prof song is powerful and it’s even more powerful because it brings up these types of conversations. People of any and every race need to not put their own “people” on blast the way they do and we should be lifting everybody up.

[@andrewpeterson3302]

My Boi Ray! Loving the stuff your pushing out. I know you been getting into Prof this last month and I'm stoked about it. I been a huge fan of Pookie for the last 10 years and Its good that he is getting the props he deserves. Man is so talented and skilled. He really puts his heart into everything he does. To get a real good feel for the man, go listen to the podcasts he has done with honeydew and such. Dudes life was a rough one and its a blessing that he made it to where he is now. Even in his professional career with RSE (Rhyme Sayers Entertainment) he had to over come the rats and the snakes. I hope you also go back and hear some of his earlier work too. Last thing I want to leave you with is too get out to one of his live shows. The man shows TF out! Seen him almost 20 times and will continue to go to his shows. Even though im also from MN, my wife and I have travelled the country to see him play in all sorts of venues. If you jump into the Prof apperception society group on facebook your going to find one of the best communities in the world. But Ill let you get back at it brother, take care.

[@jeremythornton3240]

Live version is fucking fire! 🔥

[@TheTrashKanyon9401]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR MORE LOUISIANA REACTIONS. THIS IS MY HOME TOWN, MAKES ME CRY MAN.

[@captainzombiez4854]

My absolute favorite reaction from you so far!!

[@sidhedanu]

You said you had opinions and it would be a half hour. No lies. I appreciate your candor.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

Very well said. 👏

[@RobinHoodsGamingShow]

Motel or gasoline - those are some deep good prof cuts with his vocals

[@timmycollins7665]

Horse is gonna be the number one album of the year!!

[@netwatch7261]

Whole album was fantastic.

[@YourPalHDee]

I love Prof but a few tracks didn't hit for me. It's a great album though.

[@nickcasconi3161]

Wait til he hears flower boy but you have to do the live version

[@clarebarrett9323]

More more more Prof!!❤

[@JessBecause77]

I'm sure you've probably have heard the Live and in Color version of this by now. But if you haven't you should check it out. The emotion in his voice and body mannerisms literally makes it felt how much this song meant for him to write and put out. Prof is deep. I've been listening to him over a decade now. If you haven't heard any of his older stuff, I highly recommend going back a decade in his catalog. And your perception of what he means by Louisiana is exactly what i thought too. I live in Alabama but i have always wanted to runaway to Montana when things are just too much. When i kinda know i can't take another hit because it's just getting to that point. So it's like if it doesn't work this last time then i gotta go because all this, just killing me and the person I supposed to be. If that's understandable. I also want to point out how many reactors that react to Prof but have not reacted to this song or haven't posted the reaction if they intended to. I love Prof and there's so many reactors that react to his music. But so many leave this one out. It's very disappointing. Just saying ✌️

[@Maverick-lk4ck]

Prof Rocketman is dope....there's a video to the song and it's his earlier music....but my favorite track of his

[@noorieiversen]

Thanks Ray. ❤❤❤

[@thetalantonx]

13:47 - Thank you for your wisdom and perspective. I'm from Portland, OR, and during our riots the city burned for 100 nights, and it was not the people living there doing it. Strangers came in from all over and attacked everything from government buildings to businesses to even the poorest residential neighborhoods. I could see the flames from my porch. I got the fuck out as soon as I could and moved across the country, but the insanity of it left scars. Watching France on fire now, and smelling the smoke from the forest fires brought everything back. ...Until I found and listened to this song on repeat. It purged some of the poison, and now hearing you it's helping heal the wound.

[@bencarter9234]

If you wanna hear his vocals highlighted, check out “a month for now” or “spellbound” live🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@allenolivieri1773]

reminds me of Sublimes song "April 29,1992"

[@nickcasconi3161]

The song called Myself is a totally underrated track I don't see anyone reacting to it It is literally about his fucked up life It is a must I am counting on you Ray I am giving you this information for free and leaving it into the hands of you the worthy lieutenant

[@meganoshaughnessy5548]

One of my absolute favorites

[@meganoshaughnessy5548]

[@kingstarsrobot6655]

Real reaction

[@illuminahde]

I feel like when artist don't just talk about politics, but they do it sparingly, it means more. I like some of the political rappers that are out there but songs like this from Prof mean more cause it's more from the heart

[@anthonyv6962]

Well done.

Yo Ray, I love you for this one brother. Makes me want to come break bread with you man. I appreciate it. 100

prof is from Minneapolis

[@nickjohnson8869]

Can you review the Prof Live in Color videos?? They are all live!

[@BucK5o]

Anybody remember when Ray used to react to Prof? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

[@vibereacts05]

And i will continue i work 12 hours a day and backed up on dono request due to my recent hospital visit, but prof music coming soon

[@BucK5o]

Believe me when I say I was only joking. It's just that your Prof reactions are some of the best reactions on KZbin and I miss them. I respect the hustle and wish the best for you and yours. Thank you for the entertainment my friend.

[@vibereacts05]

I appreciate the love my g i got you soon i thibk by the end of next week i should be done with all the backed up donos and ill start bring back the artist i havent reacted to in a while back!!!! I literally had to lock out my cash app and venmo just to catch up lol i appreciate your patience

[@EandJ937]

Bruh I told you this video was dope af!!!

[@thetalantonx]

17:29 - It's kindness versus niceness. If someone is about to drink poison, it's kind to slap the cup out of their hand. Being nice would be letting them kill themselves because you didn't want to upset them.

[@eggzilla710]

Oh boy you're not ready for Tombstones or Heaven off of Horse

[@sidhedanu]

I think the word you were trying to think of is "classism".

[@quantumsymbiote5469]

100% agree that Prof is bridging the gap, but to me, that was already happening. Only to those that were paying attention, though. Too may have been blinded by false naratives from both sides. I don't care what "tribe" people pick to be a part of if, it doesn't move the entirety of humanity forward, we moving backwards. Red or Blue, if it comes down to that, we already lost!

[@tonyc1668]

You need to dona video of prof "the reply"

[@torit4534]

Yesss my favorite hype song and so slept on. Im the first, second, third, fourth and the fifth, of course im the shit.

[@iilliilliilllliilliillii9045]

Not sure if this is well know, but George Floyd was killed in the Powderhorn neighborhood in South Minneapolis where Prof is from.

He said, "...that made me pee a little."

[@jlgulleydesigns]

[@hsaneener9292]

Butt howd it sound? Woof! ∆

[@MPLS-to-YUMA]

I get teary every time I watch this vid. I feel the same about burning down family businesses…I understand the Target store and Apple Store but it pissed me off to see family businesses already hurting from Covid and then gets burnt to the ground. I do have to point out that we had people from out of state and idiots like my mom’s MAGA husband’s suburban son went down to mpls just to cause trouble and loot. I remember that summer too well. RIP George Floyd

[@StevenPound]

Louisiana had some epic slave uprisings and had some particularly violent civil rights protests. Prof's mention of Louisiana could be both a foreshadowing one more shot (at peace) then it's violent uprising, or a flight after a single criminal act. Dude is usually ignorant af, but this track is as conscience as it gets.

[@YourPalHDee]

It's the former for sure. He's definitely referring to uprising

[@remissiveslave]

No love for cops at sll

[@jasonjenkins9247]

It sucks more people don't have your mentality!

[@vaidotasremeika7200]

Agree with most, but police ain't a group of people, it's a job

[@00squid00]

Late to the party... Minneapolis resident here. All the footage is from Minneapolis after George Floyd. A lot of the damage and fires were caused by boogaloo boys. Probably not all... but it certainly wasn't just the protestors.

[@ae6401]

boogaloo boys was an FBI/CSI operation

[@lacebolla5059]

I think we lost touch with the difference between Racist and Prejudice... Racism is a subset of prejudice I think. Neither are good unless there's a real danger, but to use prejudice to dislike or hate a group of people regardless of their race is abominable. Although, I fight internally with the police situation because I understand that not all cops are pigs, but if they are good cops but not willing to stand up to other cops who are breaking the law...are they really good cops? Just ignoring the actions of others and going about your own business is kinda feeding the fire. IMO

[@rong805]

Yo, maybe it's time for the Johnny Cash rabbit hole! His catalog is as extensive as Elvis, and then some. He's the King of Outlaw Country, and I think you should check out Man In Black.

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

@RGee 805 The Ballad Of Ira Hayes written by folk singer Peter La Farge. Johnny Cash didn't write it but his version tugs at your soul. In case anyone else is wondering: Ira Hayes was of Indigenous American descent and was one of the six U.S. Marines who raised the American flag on Mount Suribachi during the World War Two Battle of Iwo Jima (Pacific Island Theater of WWII; GREAT book about that is "The Flag Of Our Fathers"- just FYI.)

[@lifeinhumboldt]

I truly enjoy your reactions to Prof. You get me hyped up every time. You're gonna lose your💩 over Horse. The whole album is 🔥🔥🔥 . I'm patiently waiting for you to hear it.
