His latest album, “UNO” debuted at #4 in the world on the Apple Music/iTunes Hip-Hop Charts, proving that his message resonates with people all around the world. But Dee-1 is not content to rest on his laurels. In a recent interview, he called out industry hypocrisy, taking aim at rappers who talk about prison reform and other social issues, while glorifying violence in their lyrics.

We need brothers like Dee-1 to keep us honest. Great for the Black community.
What's up with the racial tension? I think you mean great for the community period..
@@komplete2175there is no racial tension. He is just saying how he feels. As a African American myself I say Dee 1 is good for the black community. If anyone says dee 1 is good for any others community, that is cool as well.
@@komplete2175you must be one of those white folks that “don’t see color”
@artyclay9874 I'm one of those white folks that's at oneness with ALL 👽🛸👻
@@JMInsurance me as a human, when thinking about the community, race doesn't cross my mind because the community is one, so go argue with someone that lacks common sense and basic instinct
A lot of us are tired of fake gangsta rap. Keep pushing Dee1
And quite literally these men are 40 some years old still talking about it but not living it.
And these young boys are just highschool kids.
They push this violence on the world and profit from it
We tired of the fake gangsta rap as well as the real gangsta rap.
I'm tired of knowing the bs was mainly in the ghetto before there was any gangster rap.
True but I REFUSE THE CHRISTIAN RAP AGENDA 😂 #neelyfullerjr
@@MrMonopolistic I've never been into religion either.
Almost gave up on hip hop until hearing this guy. I'm instantly a fan. He's not a slave to the money and REALLY cares about the black community. Not just a sound bite. Big SALUTE!
Amen

Never heard of this man until today but i promise I will support his music because we need more of this.
Please go down rabbit hole he's amazing.,
Praise God for this brotha speaking FACTS!!!
God dwells within
@@vel2118 Only if your born again. He doesn't dwell within everyone
@@MinistryB4Industrywho told you that? The pastor? Or your mom
@@bluu_ice6554 Neither! The word of God told me that. Thinking God dwells within everyone is new age nonsense and a deception
Zip with drip just posted Dee 1 in drag
This brother is touching people for real. I love how he's making other rappers uncomfortable and it's only because he's speaking the truth and they know it. Keep up the message brother.
💯
The brother is 💯% correct. We all are accountable. Dee-1 has my support
As a youth pastor, Dee-1 is one of those artists that I make sure to try and connect my students to! He lives out being real, righteous and relevant. Someday I hope to get to meet him and even more, would love to bring him in concert to our community!
I got the chance to at a bar club in Chicago, after performance. Getting my be real, be righteous,be relevant shirt...he's literally as humble as you think he is x 10...and it's Natural.... I wanna see him now that he's a lot bigger...GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND....,
REACH THEM ALL❕
PROTECT THIS MAN BY ALL COST
Facts ‼️ 💚🙏🏾💯🌺
Dee 1’s been a force for over a decade. People have been sleeping, but we BEEN on!!! Love this dude. This is a real artist and intellectual. I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW. Shit almost had me crying. That’s crazy.
Thank you sway for bringing this brother to help uplift the black community.
As if we all reside in this one off community?
Man I'm over here in tears this man is a blessing thank you dee 1
The creator is the blessing, the people who receive the message and try to live by it is a living testament to do right brought to you by the creator.
Thank you edward I appreciate you

Dee-1 is the truth. Let the shift in black culture commence... it's time!!
Dee 1 never lost his New Orleans accent! It's still strong like he never left the city
Man, this is a tough journey Dee-1 is on. I appreciate his humbleness, honesty, and unselfishness. It makes people like me know that God is with me and allows me to try to be as open as he is. Thank you for that sir! Reppin' da Boot and Praisin' God!
Yoooo this dude gives me the fn chills. Big shout out to New Orleans for breeding this one. Thank u
How have I not been aware of Dee1? This dude is so wholesome man.
Cause he represents CHRIST- and the upper echelons don’t want that. Check out bizzle too bizz and dee 1 are honestly some of the best rappers of all time and nobody knows them
I came back just to listen to the freestyle! And my son's keep asking to listen to Dee1 😂 they're 4 and 6!! 🤎💪🏾
I am so happy someone is finally speaking out about these issues we are currently facing. HIP HOP went from focusing on positive messages, self-awareness and community reform to straight destruction. It's quite sad to be honest. I am on the same spectrum as Dee -1 when it comes to my music. Chirstian based hip-hop with a conscious message. Keep grinding brother!
and jay z is the biggest culprit, we prophim u like he is the hip hop messiah yet he made all his money from promoting selling drugs and violence
@@xandermartin2118Nobody ever took Jay Z seriously. It just sound good and I’m from NYC
@xandermartin2118 If we're gonna be anti Hip Hop, we must be anti media as well. I don't see anything wrong with speaking on a reality. I'm old enough to have seen everything these rappers talk about going on in my former neighborhood before there was a Gangster rap.
WE NEED THIS MAN IN EVERY CAPACITY!! ❤
The tearing up of the money was huge for me. I recently lost my job of 15 years, working for the state, and didn't feel sad or mad about it. B'cuz deep down I wasn't going to be a slave for the money. It has been a humbling eye opening experience that I embrace through and through. I'm glad I caught this interview.
God has something better!
We need more young men like Dee 1 in this current hip hop culture.
We need all human beings to act/think like this not just young men!!!!
Go to church this is hip hop
@@chaunseybillings5381Thank you
**FREESTYLE STARTS AT **31:33****
What’s that first beat ?
@@carlosbash8925 Fab-Transformation 🔥🔥
Nothing like an Educated Brother 🫡
Educated, godly & sensible!
Beautiful‼️ He went OFF‼️ Come on Black Man‼️👑❤️❤️
I respect Dee-1 because I remember in 2012 when I was in high school he would be outside passing out his mixtapes , people was sleeping on him and the message he was trying to get across . I’m glad he stuck to it and never switched up
The community needs someone like you dee1
This is so needed, as a believer I find it hard to be truthful with some of my friends, in fear of losing them.
Tell it like it is
A breath of fresh air and bars! This dude has been ready for this... God's time! Such a fulfilling interview and the bars and flows were the icing on the cake!
Amen. You should go and listen to Dee1's hit song "A breath of fresh air ". Bars!
I love Dee-1 he’s definitely a real one, keep letting your light shine and shaming the devil
Man, I support this brother 100%. So proud of Dee-1. I have listened to his music for years and had the chance to meet him several times. His message deserves to be shared. Keep up the mission. BE REAL, BE RIGHTEOUS, BE RELEVANT! 👌🏾-LT
God has this man!!! Keep letting HIM use you!! We need more upstanding men of God like this influencing everyone, but especially the upcoming younger generation.. I pray for his protection in the name of Jesus🙏🏽
Yooooooo this is how you start a day!!!! I didn't expect to cry that hard though lol but this is why @Dee1 is my favorite rapper because he's the best! His songs, his lyrics, his heart, his mission!!! He's such an inspiration and an example of what we need more of in this world.
The drama brought me here because I saw a video saying Rick Ross responding to Dee 1. I just searched Dee 1 and it lead me here. After listening to him speak about the spirit of his Papa an how tight they were I was locked in cuz it resonated with my relationship with my Granny. Listened to the album UNO an def locked in. Thanks for this enlightenment session. I definitely benefit from it 💯🔋
We need 100 more of him for this to be the narrative 🙏🏿🙏🏿
They’re already out there, I can name about 30 to 40 off the dome. People just don’t be paying attention to these dudes
@@arvisuals352name some more bro, wanna check it out
I would say it's more on the platforms that don't want to deal with them because they not some major artist
@@arvisuals352should be paying attention to the creator more so than the humans if everyone wants to be enlightened
Folk been sleeping on Dee-1 . My daughter had the privilege of being on stage dancing with him during his performance 🥰
the TRUTH will not always be liked and accepted. real talk
Real Talk!!!"
Protect him. I know he has a great deal of backlash coming his way. Different kind of gem here. Bold, honest and determined. Love it.
We need more folks to follow suit like Dee1 to be a leader and really stand on business!! 💯
He always touches my soul. I love this brotha. My favorite artist.
All I can say is, " I am a FAN!"❤
That Brother right there! 🎉 Praise God!
The LORD is using this man mightily, just watching the first 15 min. I just see the Holy Spirit move through him and work on everyone around him, praise the LORD!
His boldness is appreciated in the Kingdom

I left rap log ago for being low frewuency, but with this kid, my faith is restored. Wow!

“Rap game good at cookin up delicious poison” bruh killed it
DEE-1 YOU ATE THAT MIC LIKE A THANKSGIVING PLATE!! FROM WHEN THE INTERVIEW STARTED TO THE BARS ON THROUGH!!💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥

Dee-1 destroyed that freestyle!!! 🔥👏💯
Sway, thanks for having this man on.
I'm glad that I watched this interview and he is right about everything. I will definitely partake in being a consumer activist and I'm supporting him. I'd love to hear more conscious music lol that's why I say listening to my old school because I'm not interested in hearing the dysfunction.
Protect this man!!
Awesome segment Sway!
Dee-1 a real one
Ok but that verse was hardddddd he literally ate that freestyle he literally just created a whole song more than half the people in the industry can't even be put on spot like that and come up with an entire lyrical without even saying a single cuss word. God bless woahh
Dee--1 needs to come back. Thank God for this brother
Well done Sway, we need more content like Dee1!!!!❤
I’ve always loved and respected Sway, what he does, and his authenticity. And I’ve always respected Dee-1 for always keeping it 💯!
This interview was fire and Jesus was truly glorified! We need this type of positivity in the world and in our black community! I’ve been following Dee-1 for years! So glad he’s getting his just due recognition! 🙌🏽🔥
It is totally about time someone addresses these topics! Thank you for being a blessing to young people in our communities
Everything Dee-1 said was God sent. Thankful for his life, especially as a current Tufts student and friend.
He is one of my most favorite people. Dee-1 is the best.
Subscribed after looking at this interview! I also had a pa pa who taught me so much…only difference is that I’m a female but he gave me the game from a male perspective and he introduced me to something that I can carry forever and pass/has passed to my family and that’s the Love of GOD and how he gave his only begotten son…that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. I’m thankful for my Pa Pa…and I’m Grateful for GODS Grace and Mercy…no compromising! Salute 🫡 to you Dee-1….GOD BLESS 🙏🏾🙌🏾💜
