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

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

    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!

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

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

    • @ravsingh1576
      @ravsingh1576 8 років тому +3

      +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
      @KNIGH7 8 років тому

      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
      @ravsingh1576 8 років тому

      +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

    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.
