So glad Wyclef decided to do this in front of our entire nation. Monumental, and so far different from the other versions of this song, it really speaks to what this songs true message is. Love.
It's a powerful song with a powerful message. We can be one.... But we need one to lead us to that serenity. We are not wallets, we are not pawns... we are souls. Put aside the war, the money, the fame..... Focus on what matters... Family, Peace, Brotherhood.... One another... we could look for each other.
I fell in love with Wyclef Jean's music when I saw him on the Chappelle's Show. I think most people, no matter their background, can feel and relate to this powerful song. Amazing man. Amazing music. ChoofTop approves! :~)
My name is Ramsey, life long TEXAN 37years old, man of principle & integrity. This song is real! I'm a life long fan of guys like Robert Earl Keen, & of course THE HOUSTON ASTROS. I say this with love to all, I enjoy good real music
I always liked Wyclef, but this performance blew my mind the first time I seen it. It’s still poignant, relative and thoughtful all these years later. Keep playing the rebel music Wyclef and always scream FIGHT THE POWER! ✊✊✊
This puts a fire in mt heart and I want to change the world fuck bein president we need to stand up as people and do something about all the wrong goin on lets make it right!
Presidents don't change the world. Revolutionaries do. Those who move the nation without needing an election to make it real. Dr. MLK Jr. Was more than president. The people will grow bored in 2 years of who ever the president is.
SupahDupahPlayah MackNumbah1 unfortunately, my friend, that can not happen. Good and Evil will stay the same, they will keep themselves in balance. No matter what we all try to do, that Ancient Evil will remain here amongst us. Ever since the dawn of time, that Evil has been here. We have tried all sorts of different ways to combat it, but it only had gotten worse. Religions, Politics, Wars, Rallies, none of them had worked. Now I do try to hope and help in a better future for the next generation, but this is a fact that we all must come to face. Evil does not stop in this world, it only becomes stronger. When we kill people who have done Evil things, it does nothing. When the first Evil man was killed, his son had vowed for vengeance and it has been that way ever since. What is happening today is no different. One Good man kills an Evil man, thus making the Evil son vow vengeance and thus making the Good man into an Evil man. The battle of Good and Evil is just a see-saw of muderous conflict that is impossible to avoid or stop. No war on record is longer than this one, nor has there been one more studied by man. As you may guess, I am a religious man. But I believe that this is a truth that any man or woman can accept. We all know what comes next in this chapter and we all fear it. Each and every one of us. I do not wish for peace because it will not be granted to us. I only look toward what awaits us. I may sound crazy or suicidal or what not, but that's because none of you can think outside of that societal prism. So embedded of it that you have gotten comfortable and call it home. You hardly know your identities. But I am not here to speak of that. That speech may be given at another time. For now, enjoy whatever time you have left, young or old, for I will do the same.
SupahDupahPlayah MackNumbah1 within human nature, we make errors, regardless of knowing or not. I understand that you are emotionally moved by this song, but please do not let it misguide you. It's funny. I keep feeling like trying to simply tell you to convert to religion. But I would be darned if I would do that to you. But I do tell you this. Without religion, I would not have been able to give you this knowledge. So I will be honest with you and try not to offend you or anyone else in any way. I truly think that you should just test out a religion if you are not religious. And if you are religious, read more about the struggle of Good and Evil in said Holy Book. Well it looks like I did what I said I wouldn't. At least I can have an easy mind about doing all I could to assist you, though you might feel that you didn't need it. Stay safe and please think of my words. It may put some ease on your mind as well.
Tell them the truth about MLK, tell them the truth about JFK. amazing that singing about truth and helping people is considered rebel music. Our world is crumbling
As a First Nations individual, 2:00 is the the most poignant part of this song; however, it all should be listened to & contemplated upon as it is played every day, in every town, in every language, in every country until humanity understands & begins to make amends for how we have wronged one another far too often & far too long.
Imagine Daves disgruntled white character getting shocked and saying 'oh i dont know about that' for all the true things being said on this song. hahahahaha. .
Why is this so much better than the original song I think it’s the pain and meaning behind it, the suffering African Americans have endured is unacceptable and massively misunderstood by the white people. As a white kid i didn’t get taught any of this shit as a kid and it shocks me now that I’m painfully aware how much suffering they have endured for no good reason.
big difference is chappelle version has so much more hurt and feeling in his voice. But The Radio wont play this. Tell The Children The TRUTH!!!
Arturo Uruena yes!!! #onelove
Arturo Uruena exactly this version is the truth
Arturo Uruena facts fam
The truth is this guy held a donation for Haiti but at the end of the collection he kept the money
@@Caribbeanbakedbeans
Say what? Dam thats cold...
I assume its true, no one would make that up. ✌🏽
I saw this on Chappelle show when i was super young, and this shit has always stuck with me.
Same here
This song STILL hasn't had the recognition it deserves.. this man is the truth. shit speaks to the soul.
But the radio won't play this
unbelievable how the live unplugged version destroys the studio recorded version SMH!
Yea!
And so little views, oh and btw House of 1000 corpses is my favourite horror movie.
so true I was looking for the studio recording and was so disappointed so I purposely searched the chapelle show version lol
He was so in his zone you could feel it
Brilliant Singer. I Do Love Those Shining Points of Light in the swamps of Washington D.c./a.d. i maus
So glad Wyclef decided to do this in front of our entire nation. Monumental, and so far different from the other versions of this song, it really speaks to what this songs true message is. Love.
I know some so poor, when it rains thats when they shower, screaming fight the power!
My favorite line in the song. So powerful you can see it in your mind's eye.
That’s when the vulture devours
See I love this part of UA-cam were all these calm peaceful people in the comments and no dum argument so thank you for posting this
Redpandadoood that’s because only people who enjoyed it on Chappelle show are going to UA-cam it
It's a powerful song with a powerful message. We can be one.... But we need one to lead us to that serenity. We are not wallets, we are not pawns... we are souls.

Song will bring tears to ur eyez...so much,in one song
This version makes me cry everytime I hear it!! And I'm a middle aged white guy??
✊🏿🖤
Same here, when he mentions MLK and JFK.

The best version to me
Imagine Daves disgruntled white character getting shocked and saying 'oh i dont know about that' for all the true things being said on this song. hahahahaha. .

sheeple don't want to hear this.
Wasn't this performance recorded before the song was finalized? I always thought it was.
Does anybody know who the bassist is?
That Jerry wonder, wyclefs cousin.
Elect me!
Rebel music!!
Tell em the truth!! Children of Moses
R.i.p
"They" call this Rebel music...and thats why we call them "they".
Should of put this onto your new album instead of the studio it's good but no we're close as this one
What is that he's doing with his voice were it sounds like it's waving in and out
+chico hutchinson I think he's shaking his head back and forth.
It's called vibrato, it's a vocal technique used to enhance prosody.
jay heff kay
Deep
Dem minor chords
but the thumbnail showed me Wale ...........Loool
But the radio won't play this, they call it rebel music. HOW CAN YOU REFUSE IT. Children of Moses..............Music calls out history.
Tell them about JFK
Both the acoustic and his voice sound better in this version. He shoulda redone it like that too
i i was President...get elected on fri...assanaited on sat....buyerd on sun......then be back to work on monday!
