      Does it look like I'm the Ahmed that died on the beach? I'm not the only Ahmed in the world. Do you know how long those push ups were going for and how tired I was before doing pull ups, sit ups, and dips...

    @reflection1119 6 лет назад +43

    This is such an underrated track. Even just the words "so fear not", that he repeats to say that there is hardship in dislocation and not belonging, but there is also the potential for greatness, of substance, to rise out of a diaspora and serve as role models for people who may feel lost or are actively being misled by others... So deep!

    • @ZahdShah
      @ZahdShah 5 лет назад +3

      Well said. "So fear not" encapsulates the attitude of uncertainty many children of diaspora have. It gives hope and sometimes, hope is enough to allow someone to push forward through difficult times.
      So fear not.
      This line inspires me to become the role model you have described. People who grew up just like me, sons of immigrant taxi drivers, are on the streets selling coke while I'm at university. And my heart genuinely goes out to them, their lives are in a choke hold and they're lost to hopelessness. So much potential but all gone to waste. The scariest part is I could have been exactly like them. I've been exposed to drugs enough to know I could succumb to evil temptations. I know myself well enough to see my capacity for doing bad. I've been hurt enough to let out my anger on the world. There is no difference between me, who's going to secure a high paying job and ascend from working class to middle class, and the thug on the street. We are all the same. We come from the same struggle. I was just privileged enough to not fall victim like they did. For this reason I am extremely motivated to make the most of the life I've been blessed with cos I know how different it could've been. I am forever grateful for the life I have.
      "Those who saw their traces in the faces of the massacred"
      Thanks for letting me vent haha

    • @chriscooper8543
      @chriscooper8543 8 лет назад +8

      Lowkey helped to empower me, Common showed me the light.
      Kweli showed me that there's true value in sacrifice.
      Dilla made me think twice so now you see I’m nice.
      Opened up my eyes after black thought every night.
      When I look at Will.I.Am I see money comes with a price.
      So any way you look at it...
      Hip Hop saved my life.

    Why there isnt many views on this video is because Lowkey says himself he doesnt wanna brand himself. The big corporations dont want to spread the good word and if you dont give your soul to them and let them corrupt you and control you they wont give anything to you. Lowkey is pure. Pure epicness. Pure rap. Pure music. A pure person with a masterpiece of a brain. Every sentence he creates gives me inspiration.

    This is a middle finger to cultural imperialism. I’ve always felt disgusted by foreigners who have self-hate ... especially people who give an English “normal” name to a child out of fear. This is better than any hip-hop track on TV in the last 20 years. Real hip-hop!

    If only everyone could smile alot more at one another in the street,shops,parks or wherever. Imagine how much more connected we could all be rather than fear or be weary of each other all the time and constantly keeping ourselves to ourselves,disconnected or lost in our headphones or connected more to our mobile devices and staring at our screens as that seems so much like the safer options these days. Just for a few split seconds drop that barrier just enough to break that ice or put others at ease enough to respond back with a smile. That then could lead to conversations,new friendships,potential relationships or just make someone's day a much better and more uplifted one....Yet another lovely Low-key track that I've discovered later on with an equally lovely and uplifting video just showing humanity at it's most beautiful....

    Change has always come by sacrificing and fight. most of us defiantly don't have this, because it's been destroyed by our environment and so we continue come comment on world events until we are forced to fight.

    Artists like Lowkey have a transcending spirit, these human being are sent to this earth to carry a message, spread it then leave. Many great beings have entered this earth and Lowkey is one of them to me. Can't wait to see you at the in Manchester this July!! Oneness.
