God, he's so incredible. Going through his older spoken word and then listening to "All You Can Do" tonight and its so amazing to see how steadily he's been putting out inspirational, funny, creative, beautiful work. I'm so proud of him and I'll be a fan of his till the day I die
You are amazing. It's the way you explain things. You talk the truth and make others want to change things. It's not that you're hilarious, or that your acts are so various, it's how you take language and meaning and you marry it. Thank you George Watsky, for not being cocky, or arrogant, narcistic, big headed, all-knowing. Thanks for the truth we all need to hear, I hope you keep it up for many more years.
I love how Graham's article doesn't actually have anything to do with criticism of your poetry, but rather ignores it and calls it nonsensical. This poem is beautiful, and I am so glad that a talented guy such as yourself is speaking up for this cause and against the commercialization of "green". Wonderful work!
The best part about this video is the article in the info section. Cracks me up that he described the work as "non-sensical," when it couldn't make more sense. Poor guy didn't even realize that George was talking about him.
Its not just about people claiming they are green it is about not being something you say but something you actually do and stand for. Its about all the people out there that say they are green who really drive an SUV and live far beyond their means. Its about not just saying you are "green" but living "green" or should we say Eco-friendly.
"exposing and combating liberal media bias" what a joke. i love that there was an article written about this performance, because for those that have actually seen the video and read the article you really get a good laugh at how hard this issue is trying to be swept under the rug, or at least discredited. this performance, i am so green, is great. love it.
@woodyi59 His rhymes themselves are entertaining while also delivering a message to people who understand what he's on about - either you just didn't get that message or didn't like his rhymes. But I don't think he sucks at all, quite the contrary in fact.
so watsky i know this is extremly late, but i just wanna say that article in the discription is complete and utter bullshit. you were fantastic in this and the entire time while i was watching it i was just waiting for you to get all serious on us and when it came it was like a tidal wave of passionate/ controlled anger that was incredibly inspiring truths. love all your stuff sir and have incredible respect for ya

It's sexy how confident he is.
I run red lights and stop at green lights to soak it in. Damn!
still every time I watch this I cry..... I love this so much that I have shown it to just about everyone I know.... I want more like this

i miss this
That's really an honour, to make it this far and get to perform at the Kennedy Center.
One of my favourite poems of all time
Still one of my favorite poems. The transition as you could tell from the crowd, so moving. Love all your work and keep at it.
I get chills everytime you get to the shell part
This kid is going places

to choke the folks who spoke it first... so freaking awesome
at the end of this I was literally moved to tears......which does not happen often.
When Robert Redford gives you an intro.
If I was watsky, I would have died completely happy right there.
GREAT SPOKEN WORD WITH AMAZING MESSAGE!!! watched nearly all of this dudes videos and this is by far the best.
really aspiring to watch him perform.
I just love the transition from how he uses the phrase "Green" like so many people do today to criticizer the phrase
The words. His confidence. The beat. His passion.
If you can not feel that then you are seriously missing out.
jared paul
"I flip parakeets motherfucker!!" Amazing.
This is the greatest thing ever. You can HEAR the crowd's reaction when he pulls the rug out from under them.
Great message to put out there ro the people and a great way to do it.
Best spoken word by him ever.
Your words are so powerful and move me in a way no political speech on the "Green movement" ever could.
this was my first vid that i saw of him three years ago and have been obsessed with his spoken word ever since.
This is SO beautiful. And I am SO humbled. :)
Still love this
I need this Download!
My baby. I miss this.
He gets you hooked and then lays it on heavy.
thas just wooooooooow, i dont have words just amazing!!
Dude, I got goosebumps more than once watching this. You are a genius and i would actually vote if you ran for pres.
I honestly wish he’d preform this poem every year

George Watsky,
THIS IS SO GOOOOOOOD

Yo Watsky, im truly fascinated by your style and skills. When are you going to make a new video??

He raps it together at the end
Yeah but how green was he? Super green. Green green. Emerald green. Tree green. Any green you want.
Truthiness231 what about like a crystal green?
that was GOOOOOD!
Wow George didn't know it was way more than rap.. Ur a very talented young man
I think this is his best poem.
Terrific !
I can get behind this. Good work.
aww man, that's close by. Wish I knew about this then.
omg i saw this in school and fell in love :)

mad respect.

he closed with "Boyz" by MIA , this man is beautiful
Wish more people knew about him(:
I'd call your ass a chameleon, if that lizard wasn't green to begin with.
Wow. Just Wow.
That the bottom line because gwatsky said so!!!! Now give me a HELL YEA!
"I flip parakeets motherfucka" LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I think he's talking about Narwhal Apocalypse. It should be online, though with shoddy quality
I love how pretty much everything he says is quotable as a facebook status :P thanks man, big inspiration
Hell Yeah
IM SO GREEN HULK TURNS INTO ME WHEN HE GETS ANGRY
He just mooned Kenedy Center Hall!
And WON!
Genius
HOLY CRAP.
ROBERT REDFORD!
BEST!
great
Pink is the inverted color of green and I think it's beautiful.
"I'd call your ass a chameleon, if that lizard wasn't green to begin with." Jaw dropping.
On. Fucking. Fire.
Holy fuck.
Holy,
holy, fuck.
That was amazing.

I'm so green I make the jolly green giant green with envy!
for a mo, i heard Anis in his delivery...cute
Next I would like to see, "Im so organic"
yeah
@sunrisegrace you know it!!!!!!!!!
This was before he battled Dr. Suess. The beef arose later =P

I literally clapped at the end of this video
That awkward moment when everyone's like AWWWWW and watsky's like "b**** please stfu!"
just one think to say... my LITTLE sister wants to meet you! lol WE LOVE YOU
@Blitzkreig19 exactly.
watsky for president..... sounds like it would be great.
I liked it :)
Can anybody explain to me the line of flipping parakeets?
I thought I wouldn't see trolls while watching spoken word. They just had to prove me wrong. Trolls will be trolls.
I'm so green, I drink purple gatorade and sweat green.
Fuck Graham this is brilliant!
Pink is the absence of green...
Yeah for M.I.A at the end
Watsky: I am so green Jessie: No Watsky can't you see that you are pink! What are color blind?
