Aye big facts. As a younger homie who's white but grew up in southwest Baltimore. I gotta tell you if half the people your age could get out that mental box we'd be a much better people. Keep fighting that good fight OG. Much fucking love 👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻
I am a 58 yr young WoMan of six children and six grands, and I am with you on the facts that this young one is beyond his time here on earth. Kid is intelligent and deep...spitting honesty of a real concrete jungle we are striving to live in.
@Todd Keno Yo Keno, this dude has created something much higher my brother, this is mind hop. Levels above because it makes you truly think and that is the first step power. Knowledge + Action = Power, peace out.
I'm a white boy. I think he got the tone right. I hear you, agree with him; most are not willing to take a risk. I got to retire early, so I do some work. I'm careful. I do on my own terms. Nobody gets to comment. I'm private. But I do that work.
61 yr old. Black man feeling something I haven't felt since Marvin Gaye's "What going on!" This young man is special !!! Political subjects have been stripped by white music executives, forcing people compromise to get that dollar. Marlon is true to his CRAFT , saying what we see everyday. Marlon is indeed a citizen!!
Damn, this was profound. To self analyze on this level is monumental enough, but to put it into song form. WOW. Keep shinning your light bro, the masses might not see it, but the one that do, are going to support you throughout your career.
@@MarlonCraft honestly man I'm an mc as well and I think its really important to use the platform you are given to say things worth being heard. So for that reason I'm always paying close attention to lyrics from my favorite mc's cus that's what makes them my favorites, I know something is being said worth hearing. So for that, its super dope you responded confirming what I picked up was the intended message. P.s yeah you're definitely one of my favorite mc's right now. Thanks my dude.
@@MarlonCraft just a friendly reminder that I still get super stoked everytime I get reminded of this comment thread and that one of my favorite Mc's actually confirmed that I was interpreting the message being conveyed accurately. Pretty dope that you took the time to confirm that man. You're doing all the right things man. Using your gift to put thoughts into words poetically and to only select the most important and compelling thoughts and ideas as your focus topics is nothing short of admirable. That takes alot of confidence and focus. And you still find time to respond to your fans on those very topics. Kudos and thank you for the art.
Yo did no one notice how lil by lil more color comes into view as if he was opening his eyes and seeing the world, that shit was fire great message man keep it up
Forget "doing the work," most ppl don't even want to hear about it: This track: > 300K views Your avg pop song: millions For those who do, like myself, the self reflection & analysis this song causes is testamount to Marlon's lyrical prowess & depth. Simply amazing!
I am a middle aged black woman from "Boston Proper." You young man are gifted! I am in my office listening to you! This is the real hip hop culture that I'm used to! Thank you and keep the fire burning! Real MC you are!
This moved me to tears upon second listen. The first I couldn't even process what just hit me. I haven't heard modern hip-hop like this in a long time. Thank you for moving the culture forward. I will be watching you rise, friend.
That's the problem my dude. Though I pray to God I am dead wrong... *He Won't* Or at least not to the level deserves ... Pop songs get millions of views while a track this intelligent, profound & artistic is at >300K. 🤦 Tells you all you need to know about where society's priorities are at. Forget "doing the work," most have trouble simply even hearing it.
just watched the state of the union video an hour ago for the first time, the past hour watched at least twenty other videos of MC, what an absolutely amazingly fresh artist. respect.
Came there thru MP. It is wierd to how much extent You articulate my thought precisely in this moment. I was not payin attention to this simple thing I felt something but I was not aware of it ... thank You for this.
Imma old black man from Newark NJ and this dude got it. This young man is the next movement. It's more than hip hop. Thank you youngsta

Marlon is a master of his craft.
Thus track is a great example of Hegelian recognition, and I personally think more of that is needed today.
I think I say a LOT of things that aren't worth hearing -_-

The fact that you don't have more fame and success is a disgrace to the genre! Another great track Marlon, you ARE fucking incredible!
Every few years we get someone like this to come through. This do is the real deal. Authentic!
Everyone needs to hear this song. I know I needed to.
This kid is amazing, and gonna be a leader. He's ahead of his time and age.
"Damn." As soon as this song ended, that was all I could do: Just stare into the air and say 'damn'. This resonated deep.
Deeeeepppp. Thank you Marlon.👏👏👏👏👏
The Craft ❤
People are afraid of the truth because It shines the light on their demons.. Keep shining that light bro

White boy with Black Thought🔥🔥🔥
youtube account name Black Thought is the name of a prolific rapper lmao that’s what he was referencing
@@shelladdition You're not ignorant forever, man, everyone can learn and change. This song about people who won't change.
@@hoagie7859 What you said is 100% truth, ignorance isn't permanent.
@@hoagie7859 What you said is 100% truth, ignorance isn't permanent.
Black Thought is the name of the legendary rapper that this talented artist must have grown up listening to. Too many similarities.
brilliance
The very essence of hip hop.... meaning, purpose, and creativity. Mad props bro!!
Yes.
Makes my day to find new Craftwork 😎.
