Didn't know who David Banner was until this video. I've been listening to Sa-Roc on YT-Music for a few years now, but never viewed any of her videos until today. I'm maybe 3 or 4 in and this one is absolutely brilliant. It's arguably more effective at teaching history than the lyrical assault typically given by the likes of Immortal Technique, but the lyrics have both impact and are buttery smooth. I've always loved her diction, the production of her videos are a great outlet for that. Now I need to learn up on David Banner!
This is who our young black women should be paying attention to. Beauty brains and soul. where is she from? I also liked David banner. before this song I never knew who Patrice Lumba was. I watched a documentary about his murder. It's sad how they use the people close to you to get you.
It's hard to publicize someone that doesn't sell themselves for the dollar bill. The message she's delivering is to aspire to be The All Seeing Eye of what people should be on the back of that bill, not let the bill be the overseer of what you do to acquire that dollar bill. No large commercialized industry wants to pick that message up. I would like to hear a duet album with her and Kweli, though!
can I ask what kind of name is doodoo. How are you posting on a positive , liberating song with a name like that. IJS, DID YOU EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO THE SONG OR THE SHIRT?
Wow! Sa-Roc never ceases to amaze me! I feel like not enough people even know about her because she didn't sell her soul to the devil. I hope everyone who sees her videos shares them so everyone can experience this amazing artist!
This was bangN Kicking knowledge, then she gets keep out and goes "basic self endorsing HAM?", You must be making that statement based on more then this one joint!
A.T. Sr. So what she goes in on showing her skillz. However you must didn't ay attention to the song. She is paying homage to ancestors. So obviously she is not going to ham especially considering all the other so called entertainers who go ham with no respect to the Real Hip Hop who paved a way for music. lol, do the knowledge before typing
"For this independence of the Congo, even as it is celebrated today with Belgium, a friendly country with whom we deal as equal to equal, no Congolese worthy of the name will ever be able to forget that it was by fighting that it has been won, a day-to-day fight, an ardent and idealistic fight, a fight in which we were spared neither privation nor suffering, and for which we gave our strength and our blood. We are proud of this struggle, of tears, of fire, and of blood, to the depths of our being, for it was a noble and just struggle, and indispensable to put an end to the humiliating slavery which was imposed upon us by force." -- Patrice Émery Lumumba
Jean Baptiste well then I take it that those are the people who are still not confident within themselves! It is not an ego thing it is a confidence thing. There is a difference.
I just came across you yesterday searching for new conscious muzik to vibe too queen Sa-roc & God im soo glad i found you 🖤 my kids needs this type muzik 💯‼️ your muzik highly appreciated so to that gratitude & love asé ✊🏿💪🏿👑
I've written so many compliments about Sa-roc and none of them quite do her justice. Tell me what you're working with. I'm ready to assault this track before I murdered it
Ted Harge @ Thank you SA ROC APPRECIATES ALL OF HER TRUE AND LIVING FANS. THOSE WHO TRUELY INSPIRE ENLIGHTENMENT IS ONE OF HER GREATEST INSPIRATION WHEN PUTTING OUT HER MUSIC. PEACE AND BLESSINGS
YES!!!!!!! How dope is this????? Wow, I am rocking with this. I'm 'bout to get your album soon. This is the type of stuff I love to muthaflippin SEE. And as much as I don't follow David Banner's music, I've seen a cpl interviews and he gets nothing but respect from me, which makes me want to check out his music more. Respect to both of them.
Who am I? I'm the words you're afraid to speak, the face you're too vain to see. Who am I? I am Scarlet, call me crimson red, the blood of a million slaves in every verse that I pen. Who am I? I'm dark matter in a world full of light-weights, the future you can't fathom, your inescapable fate. Who am I? I am freedom through a musical note, I am you inside of the mirror, the reflection of hope. [Sa-Roc] Tell me what you workin' with. I'm ready to assault this track before I murder it. Cuz I use words to purge my aggression I suggest you avoid becoming a victim of my murmurings. I get my big words from my mama nem. She taught me how to read and ever since I've had a yearn for them. And that's how this shy girl can talk shit and stay clean - (there's a sudden abruption in her flow for cussing in class)- excuse my foul mouth I slip up and say things in rap life that real life can't seem to handle. Like how I'm a better rapper than you and all your family. And I'll verbally slap you all around a few rounds until you king me the greatest of the space/time continuum. See great writers made me. Not jay z but Langston. I'm still trying digest a dream deferred. And every time I put my pen down to paper I imagine saving babies from a bitter life in a heinous world. Who am I? I'm the words you're afraid to speak, the face you're too vain to see. Who am I? I am Scarlet, call me crimson red, the blood of a million slaves in every verse that I pen. Who am I? I'm dark matter in a world full of light-weights, the future you can't fathom, your inescapable fate. Who am I? I am freedom through a musical note, I am you inside of the mirror, the reflection of hope. [Sa-Roc] But they don't wanna hear the pain just the glory. And they don't wanna take the blame just change the gist of the story and they'll take me as a trophy but not as MVP. Cuz they don't wanna admit it but they envy me. I'll tell you why because these hips and thighs created life in 7 days. And I can take it all away with just 1 verse spit in 7 ways. And the control you think you hold over me? Guess what it's obsolete. I copped a beat and laid heat like burnt edges. Play me? You'll pay me. My 16s like vendettas. This rap dope but truth told I been better. just a prelude to deluge of poetic justice. No box braids I cock aim and blow brains with all my substance. I don't need witticisms to make a hitter and I don't need sports references to make my lyrics any clearer. Eff Jordan, I'm rolling with zora, cuz my eyes been watching god since I first looked in the mirror. And dare I say it that I'm a conscious entertainer? my confidence in my craft makes me comfortable with the label. But....I defy all conventions, my unorthodox behavior makes me garner your attention like a peep show. The exposure keeps you riveted in place you're conflicted I'm the illest but you can't let em know you think so. Acceptance is the last stage of grief so I'll keep the peace. I'll let u have your moment fore I make you take a knee. And savor each and every piece that I secrete from me. Contrary to pop opinion, we ain't created equally. See, That my friend would require me to be human. I'm an alien, an outcast, a pillar in a land of ruin. Nice!!! :-)
she reps that muur slang, New Oleabs god Body approves this. D.Banner needs to work with more spit fire M.C.'s, You need to work with Corey Hicks and G-Servant -2of the hottest M.C's
"Muur"? That's a Dutch term for our people. "New Oleabs". I never heard of this name before - what does it mean? I'm definitely checking out Corey Hicks and G-Servant. Good looking!
one of the reason we are not down with the changing of of slophop stations to old skool (slop)hiphop stations. Even though artist such as SaRoc ain't getting heard today, we don't want to end new hiphop on radio. we want the end of slophop on the radio!
I’m the words you are afraid to speak (who am I) the face you’re to vain to see(who am I) I am scarlet call me crimson red the blood of a million slaves and every verse that I pen (who am I) I’m dark matter in a world of lightweights. The future you can’t fathom your inescapable faith. I am freedom through a musical note. I am you inside of the mirror the reflection of hope. ✨🤎🖤 -Sa-Roc
Gail Jackson @ and why is that up here?? who is K and why would SA ROC OR ANYONE ELSE CARE!!!??!? DON'T ADVERTISE YOUR FAMILY DRAMA ON HER PAGE!! THANK YOU!!!! NOT REALLY YES BEING SARCASTIC!!!
"I am dark matter in a world of light weights" that line yo!!!
This is some next level shit. Only the chosen ones will feel this shit
+IKE GRIZZLY YES! ASE'!
Fucking hard!
Yo!!! 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
@@ayo30s solo par' Los Solteros!
I needed her growing up ... Sa-Roc is a great role model for young woman ... 💜💙💚❤🙏
"My eyes been watching God since I looked in the mirror" Affirmative!
She’s such a spiritual , super lyrical, miracle individual.
Patrice lumumba.... Phenomenal African leader if you didn't know ...who am I?
Sa-Roc isn't just the illest female emcee out. She's also better than most emcees period! Most rappers fear this level of skill.
Damn! This is on another level.
This realigned my chakras.
Lol 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Sat Nam
Lmao.
Reflection of hope indeed. I’m in love with you in the 5 Queen. Don’t stop. 🔥 👑
This is straight up hip-hop, which sadly is a rare thing these days. Keep it up!
Didn't know who David Banner was until this video. I've been listening to Sa-Roc on YT-Music for a few years now, but never viewed any of her videos until today.

Profoundly Prophetic, This Woman is The Mother God of all that is sacred feminine 💜
We need more female MC's like these Mystic, Storm, Gavlyn Medusa and Sa-Roc.. L.A. CA-ALL DAY!!!!
eternia
Makavelian777 can someone tell about these Female Mc s
Narubi Selah, Jean Grae, StaHHr, Rapsody, Tye Pheonix , and Sa-Roc. This is the Legion of Boom!!
Lavtrabia Lawson @ I guess SA ROC IS AT THE TOP SINCE HALF OF THESE SO CALLED RAPPERS STOLE HER LYRICS
MAD RESPECT FROM NORTH AFRICA
SaRoc is great! Tho this video sure made me remember that I need to buy more books.
Loving this! *playing "The Who?" in the background while homeschooling our two little Lumumbas*. #PositiveVibes
"Great minds made me not Jay Z but Langston"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is who our young black women should be paying attention to. Beauty brains and soul. where is she from? I also liked David banner. before this song I never knew who Patrice Lumba was. I watched a documentary about his murder. It's sad how they use the people close to you to get you.
I know I am I’m currently still a minor and I love her!!

No large commercialized industry wants to pick that message up. I would like to hear a duet album with her and Kweli, though!
And people say conscious rap is corny?? Please
Only corny to the ignorant ones
It's corny to ask for peoples approval to find confindence in degrading comments.
David Banner on the positive tip!!! That's what's up!
can I ask what kind of name is doodoo. How are you posting on a positive , liberating song with a name like that. IJS, DID YOU EVEN PAY ATTENTION TO THE SONG OR THE SHIRT?
Banner tryna sound like Rassy.
"my eyes been watching God, since I first looked in the mirror"
nice.
Adina April LOL!!!
"And God said let me make Man(woman) in my own image"
That's my sister. Feel u.no end. No began
Mr Wright who is your sister?
Wow! Sa-Roc never ceases to amaze me! I feel like not enough people even know about her because she didn't sell her soul to the devil. I hope everyone who sees her videos shares them so everyone can experience this amazing artist!
Sandra Nickell @ Thank you@ the very least she is pleased it is reaching those who truly appreciate and comprehend truth
Jay-Z had it wrong! This is the baddest chic in the Game!
This was bangN Kicking knowledge, then she gets keep out and goes "basic self endorsing HAM?", You must be making that statement based on more then this one joint!
