I am now 35. This movie changed my life. I made a pivot in friends and social circles after I say this. I got away from them. I’m still alive. Many of them are not.. RIP to everyone we lost.

I had heard a part of this poem on his song "Twice the first time" and the original is indeed great! The passion in his voice always gets to me. Beautiful. Oh, and the sound/video quality of the video is amazing, thank you.

I agree with you completely. I always enjoy entering a conversation about a video but I am quickly disheartened by the stupidity many posters exhibit when they comment. It always degenerates into profanity and closed-minded insanity.

This particular version of it has never been released. He released a vinyl in 1972 called Elohim that has a song called "Twice the First Time" It has parts of this poem but it is a work in it's own.

I've taught in public schools with little family involvement. If I taught in a public school with overprotective parents who think I might be poisoning their children with dirty words in a poem, I might have gotten chewed out. My students generally like what I teach, so I don't have any problems.

In his book The Dead Emcee Scrolls he talks about when he went to a poetry reading he read Amethyst Rocks, and he was approached by Marc Levin who was a director and he wanted to make the film Slam.

Saul kills it again. My very first exposure to him was through this movie, but once I heard he had albums and writings I scooped up everything I could. I loved this when I saw it but have to say to those doubting him... pick up his self titled album and listen to "Talk To Strangers" Jesus had a wife and she was HIS messiah like that stranger may be yours who holds the subtle knife that cuts through worlds like magic doors.

CHESWAYO MPHANZA

@professorsockpuppet nice dude, i wish i had teachers like you when i was still in school... but we had to do 20 pushups every time we used a swear-word and nothing controversial was ever discussed. so props to you from germany, for not only being a cool guy (obviously), but to teach something what young people really could be interested in ;)

Marques Watson

Oh I see, interesting. Very pessimistic view, how do you make it through the day lol jk. I would say I am a bit of a cynic, I think mankind is inclined to evil through the temptation of power but it's not inherently in our nature to be evil. Stereotyping is inherent, however, racism and bigotry are not. :)

@mistermikeyangelo Well said. Time is indeed an illusion, but until people experience the eternal moment that is 'now', time will always appear real.

Mr. Mikey Stubblefield

14y

Time is an illusion. There's only ever the NOW, the Eternal Moment ("there is no Death there is only Eternity"), which is why he refers to himself as "that timeless nigga". He's speaking of those suffering from physical & mental decay because of their disconnection from the Eternal Source of All.

Ralph Lafrance

13y

@Mo2477 Time as we perceive it is "real" but science shows time is relative to the speed of the observer. Thus my reality and your reality can coexist but be different. The problem is what's reality? Does time exists in static frames that one "travels" through, or is it a manifestation of our own existence? It doesn't really matter.

Teachers have to teach the shit that they are told to teach. That's why most teachers teach in college to teach what they want to with out any one getting offended.

@ZombieSlaver Those kids are in 8th grade. Almost in high school. They've probably heard worse in the movie theater and from other rappers. One day they'll learn the world is cruel. You get dealt a lot of bullshit. What's the problem with introducing them to a poet who can completely change their view of life and prepare them for what their up against? Idk, just throwing in my two cents. This is one of the strongest poems and deliveries I've ever heard. I wish more people would think like Saul.

Jennifer forbes

13y

@ZombieSlaver Is it realistic to think that eight graders don't know these words and worse? They see children die in the news every week,some by their own parents. This poem is about overcoming the stigmas of things that happen everyday and i think our children need all the knowledge they can get to fortify them against all the worldly things they see and hear in the streets.

Bobby Wyatt

it's not just that, but also how other races have held back black people in the past, preventing their advancement. Confinement takes many forms.

He has shown a black man can be elected President of the United States. That alone is more than any President in the last 40 years has done for "minority groupings". And make no mistake. He did it. He runs his own show. Nobody is "running" him. He's going to do great things. Bet on it.

honestly i think he gets too caught up in rhyming that he goes off track and tries to link it back by repeating words/phrases a whole lot, maybe it's good if you like being overwhelmed by lyircal noise but i'm unimpressed really, though i just criticize his lyrics not him personally, yup, 2 cents for ya
