“If you’re uncomfortable and you’re maladjusted to a sick society, you are healthy.” 🙏🏾💜✨
I started crying when he says that
Except it's just not true, and you're certainly not healthy if you feel that way, you're unhappy and bitter and ungrateful if you feel that way. Is America a sick society? Yea, in some ways, but it's also a better place to live than the majority of the world's countries. Don't let a spoilt celebrity talk you into cynicism.
Yes..America historically IS a sick society, dont be gullible.
said by Jiddu Krishna Murti, mention your sources...also spoken upon by Zo Williams from the Zo What Show Podcast, regarding the phrase.
Absolutely ❤
"I can't embrace despair." Man still a modern day poet full of intelligence and wisdom.
Mind if I correct your spelling bro? It’s De-spair, meaning “down from + hoping”

"Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act." -George Orwell
profound bars
No lie mixed in truth here, just pure facts
❤❤
This reminds me when the media made the Chinese leak theory a racist conspiracy. In favor of a “they eat disease ridden bats” narrative.
I agree with that quote and I agree with Bey here. The thing is, nowadays, truth isn't as objective as it once was.
The Internet has created a kind of stratification of common culture. If you're black and x you can join the club for black and x, black and y, etc etc. with the stratification of society into small bubbles we don't know how to communicate across bubbles leading to disenchantment of the system, which we all should have stake in fighting for and protecting. Idk the solution but I do know that this is a major problem leading to a growing culture of isolation and despair. Fight for your great grand kids. Fight for tomorrow always. Even if it means swallowing your pride. The meek shall inherit. Be not prideful
The Israeli soldier that killed my aunt Huda Hawarjeh in Aida Bethlehem smiled on camera and said he was purifying the land. This interview was reported by the CBC but also is uploaded to my channel here on youtube. I hope that people interested in this conflict can research the 30 years of British occupation where Palestinian libraries and farms were destroyed before the 1947-1949 destruction of over 530 Palestinian villages.
Sad story, RIP to your aunt bro
And the Palestinian soldiers that tried to like my father on the West Bank
What did the palestnians say to all the women they raped and butchered?
@@EliteSports217RIP the Native Americans RIP the Palestinians
Love to you and yours.
I wish we could learn...
To see Yasiin Bey with the Palestine scarf means so much to me and made me so happy to see it! I have family in refugee camps all over Palestine and family as refugees all over Earth and I hope one day we can all peacefully return back to our homeland with equality.
You know that land belongs to the children of Israel Bani Israil until we go back no peace will be accomplished even if you Amorite Edomite Arabs drive out the Scythians aka Ashkenazi who also drove us out 2,723 years ago!

Yea. Hopefully Saudi lets you back
That is not a palestinian scarf
"Due to demise... my heart is still alive. It looks awful outside... but it's still worth a try." This whole clip made my body shiver. He's right in every sense. If you feel pain in your heart, that means it's still working. That means you're still a properly functioning human being. Trust in what your heart is telling you about our environment. Nothing in the universe ever happens by accident. Things are the way they are because of a series of events and ideals that people once thought were necessary. Then we continued to come up with better ideals that were necessary. This is our process. The decisions we are currently making about the world we INTEND to live in are happening at such a rapid pace due to the necessity of change. INTENTION. Understand and hone in on your intention. Don't react... but respond. Reaction doesn't require you to think. Responding requires you to think first... then do. If there are things that you are unaware about... then do nothing until you are aware. Doing nothing IS a response. But also, intending to seek understanding is the first call to action. A lot of people tend to have their minds made up before they find complete understanding in what they are reacting to. DO NOT REACT...... RESPOND!
This!!
Look up The Venus Project, Jacque Fresco.
People believe that they have a say in the direction of how this world is run. 😂😂😂 This is the time of the gentiles, and obviously, their time is running out. Wars and rumors of war earthquakes and tornadoes in diverse places Jeremiah 28:8.
@@montoya-400 oh… I know all about Jacque Fresco and the Venus Project my friend. I was put onto Zeitgeist at a fairly young age. Those were the documentaries that made me look deeper into our systems and the history of its functionality. Nothing in the entire universe happens by accident. We’re living through this Age of Enlightenment… and especially w/ the advancement of the internet, we are seeing how powerful connection and data/information really is. But it’s also up to us to really decide what we do with that. We can go through these mundane cycles and make a million assumptions about who runs the world and watch TikTok and Instagram videos all day without ever truly knowing what is real… or we can simply share the information as we know it but also remain open to understanding that we might also be wrong. History tells us a lot. But we have to be careful about what we intend to do with that information.
@@gordoncooper7019 that’s the thing… people simply don’t realize their power. They’re stuck in the zeitgeist and regular routines of the world… they never give themselves a chance to ever really sit down and understand the ways that they actually have power. We may not have power over the function of the system… but we have the power to inform ourselves on how and why it works the way it does… and how we plan to go about with that information.
Sad that this part of the discourse will get lost as a result of the Drake thing.
Salute to all the people who still care about salvaging humanity.
I don’t even know about the Drake thing. I’m okay with it.👍🏾
What Drake thing?
Humanity 😂😂😂 when in history, has there ever been such a thing as humanity, especially in the Christian and Arab world when they are still practicing slavery..
Maybe this will happen but not in this world because it's run by devils. Now, in God's Kingdom on earth, people will be put in their rightful place, and there won't be any wars and slavers will become slaves themselves according to the Bible. It is so sad that people go to church but don't believe in the Bible, and the Bible clearly calls America Babylon The Great in Revelation 17:5, but chapter 18 describes the destruction of America and every prophecy in the Bible has come true so far and none will fail.
Anita Max $wynn
but is he wrong on either count though
I feel like he's being consistent in his criticism of "thuggery" in all forms. Be it government sanctioned, or the drug game in our community. He speaks calmly..... but his message packs a punch if you're willing to listen.
This is the video that should be near 50mill views -Yasiin Bey always real to the core. Couldn't have summed up the state of humanity any better.
My thoughts exactly
It should... Yet why? There's been millions upon millions of people speaking on this forever!!! HE HAS SAID NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN! Especially to black people.
He didn't need her for him to talk for 6 minutes straight without any dialogue.
Nah he’s not talking sh*t about celebrities unfortunately that’s all black people care about apparently.
@@mizuko6132 Conscious, critical thinkers who are Black don't give a f---- about celebrities.......the others are indoctrinated.....let them remain as such
Idk why everyone is talking about the Drake part of the interview. This is so much more profound. ❤
Small minds discuss people. That however will bring lots of attention to the interview
Can we get the full interview please. So sad that this part of the interview didn’t go viral.
right!
The truth is mainstream is not ready to face reality. This discussion is about reality. People want to avoid reality sadly
It's literally on their patreon 😊
Yasiiin Bey. All Day !!!! Beautiful commentary
"If Your Heart Is Broken Then Your Heart is Working " Incredible!!!!
A Turkish television station had a boy in Gaza, on the phone & they told him that they would offer 'funeral prayers' for the people of Gaza. He he said: ''No! Don't do Ṣalāt al-Janāzah for us! We are alive! It is you, that are dead.''
When the bombardment first started. I watched a video of a WhatsApp message from a woman in gaza. She said “ alhamdulilah. We’re going to be ok. I worry for you guys on the other side”. Then she reminded everyone to remember god.
This boy has no idea what he was talking about. 75% of those who supposedly "alive" couldn't possibly vote for Hamas. Palestinian vicious cycle: start war>lose>cry>start all over agan.
Alhamdulilah, so refreshing to see this brother speaks, Def a legend, just bringing up the Sudan crisis while everyone is pretending this is not happening in this day and age.
Exactly, in Sudan Arab Muslims kill Africans and you worried about Plasteline.
Please upload the full episode..
Love Peace
Respect and Salam from
Toronto ❤🙏
Absolutely looooove that he quoted his own “That’s a king, but what’s a crown to the clouds?” lyric from “KIDS SEE GHOSTS” to strengthen his points here.
One of my favorite lines (and songs) ever across all mediums.
Damn pull the paywall, and put ads on it, we all wanna see this man talk!
Thank you for holding space for this conversation. Thank you for being a voice trying to wake the sleeping masses. 🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️
I had been watching this in repeat, the profoundness percolating with every run.
Why can't we find the whole interview? Where is it?
so glad that congo and sudan were mentioned in the first min. shout out to Yasiin Bey!!
What a beautiful mind! Yasmin has Mos Definitely had his foot on the necks of colonialism and hypocrisy. I wish his words were more appreciated and given as much attention as the meaningless junk we are force feed to consume. This is what woke used to mean!
Thank u mos def for caring for our fellow humans.. I sometimes feel im alone.. Hiphip doesnt speak against this madness anymore..FREE PALESTINE AND Thank u Mos Def 🙏🙏🙏
Free Palestine from Ham Ass.
Just like Pharaoh, he is now an exhibit and a sign for those who truly understand the message behind his demise. The Quran also speaks of this. Solid interview.
Volume for the situation in congo there is this big genocide going on for decade in congo drc and nobody speak about it
God bless you brother
Thank you for your words on this, was one of the first people I saw really speaking out. It’s such a fucking head trip watching people around me not give a single fuck to the plight of those being meticulously wiped out in
Palestine. My heart hurts, but that is how I know I am alive. Please be aware that there are ways for us to support our brothers and sisters, for their freedom is our freedom. Call your reps, boycott tf out of these greedy corporations, read on Sudan + Congo, and the countless others who are facing atrocities at the hands of the colonial/imperial agendas, and voices are being pushed down. Free Palestine till it’s backwards!
Plastelinian vicious cycle: start a war>lose>cry>start all over again.
Classic interview fasho salute brother 🤜 fasho 💎🦋
SALUTE from southern greater Somalia
Shout out to the foundation of the culture n the emcee's
Free Palestine stand with South Africa
It's nice to see him. It's been a while since 8ve seen him on you tube.
Where is thee entire interview video?
On patreon
Right. Like wtf
@@aheroinheroinshe really shot herself in the foot this could’ve racked millions of views but she’s trying to milk it on patreon. No one is paying to watch one video.
Too much yellow cake.
Release entire video ma’am
That last line right before the music drop was immaculate.
This man really said “God is not interested in our misery”. Excellent interview and perspective from a very deep and wise man.
YUp. deep and true. misery is part of the experience along with Joy.
Free All The Lands of Oppressed People!
You mean free north Africa from Arab Muslims rule and such?
The reminders I deeply needed today. Thank you for your wisdom, comrade and fellow human 💗
I swear I needed these words too.
Brother was absolutely on point in everything he said here 🫶🏾✊🏾
"you should be heartbroken, that means your heart is working," 💔
He sounds more like a Starfleet Chancellor than he does a musician. That was the most level-headed take on the past 4 years and the state of the world I've heard from anybody. Holy crap!
I've never heard him talk like this and it has me intrigued. I'll have to look up more of his interviews to get more context to his perspective
He talked liked that on every album, lol.
@@Christopher0632right?
You gotta love him
He's been consistent in the message for over 20 years
Just has sharpened his sword and gained more clarity from his journey
Still one of my favorite MCs but also enjoy him in interviews when is able to share his wisdom and perspective
Peace Brother
sheeeeesh it's only 10am and im at CHURCH thank u yasiin
This is real talk!!! So insightful
listening to this broke my heart.
Nah release this, its wisdom - why I gotta pay for this !!! I’m telling you gonna get support
Yasiin has always been on the right side of history
Order & Balance are laws of the cosmos.
If you zoom out further enough you can see divinity in all of the seemingly chaos
This whole interview should have been released without a paywall. I get what she's trying to do but most people aren't going to pay to watch a full interview on Patreon. It's a shame because this clip, as well as the Drake clip, has already gotten a ton of positive feedback across the internet.
Support black creators
@@ghinalikki Not everyone is financially able to do that.
I happily support black creators where the product is worth the money. I’m sorry but she is charging a subscription fee almost in line with major streaming platforms (that provide access to thousands of films/TV) for a single podcast. Most people won’t even be interested in listening to all the interviews she has conducted to date.
She could easily run this podcast on CZcams with advertisements and make bank without asking people to pay Disney+ and Netflix prices for one podcast.
@@SB-sg4em I see where you're coming from, but I think you can flip your perspective. Why do we collectively devalue meaningful content to the point that a creator has to turn to corporate advertising revenue to have any hope of earning enough money to live? I'm guilty of this too, so I'm not only pointing the finger. $6/month for content you believe in really isn't outrageous.
@@tritownsound My point is her content is not worth $6 a month. Her output is very limited and this seems to be her first major interview. How many people are going to pay $6 a month for access to one podcast, that too a podcast that is just starting out?
I cancelled my Prime membership because introducing advertisements and asking customers to pay extra to remove them defeats the purpose of a streaming platform and is no longer value for money.
I don't care if you're a large corporation or an independent content creator, if the content being provided is not worth the asking price I am not going to give you my hard earned money.
As for why should creators have to turn to corporate advertising for revenue. They don't have to do anything. However the reason they are creating paywalled content is to make money, and from a business perspective they will make more money if the content is freely available to the audience, and revenue comes from advertising/sponsorships. Then once you are established and have a solid audience you can start looking into expanding with paywalled content.
2 hour interview on patreon
I think you gotta break the rules and let this one fly, easy 20million views
Right cause that damn drake question alone makes me question if i want to go and buy to see this interview. Interviewers do have a lot to do with how the interviews come out
Truth serum. Yasin breaks down oppression conglomerate oligarchies and corporate disarray to perfection. The facts cannot be ignored
Should’ve dropped this full interview on CZcams by now lol
Just Starting listening to your stuff and I very rarely don't agree or have my mind opened to something it needs to know. You put things in a very unique and effective way. TY
Humanity is the creator of it's own misery and demise. History is meant to be studied, not to repeat it but to consciously prevent it from recurring. If there is a cosmic test, wouldn’t it be to evolve. To not only understand our interconnectedness but to embody the compassion and righteousness for one another.
Bey a legend
Through the demise,
My Heart is still alive,
It looks awful outside,
But it's still worth a try.
It's so humbling to hear you express your thoughts and I can feel you, but it's the indifference of many "leaders" that enjoy any distraction like your sympathetic input in a discourse that will keep people busy looking elsewhere while they keep plundering public and private funds. There was a glimpse of hope to end colonialism but we're back to business as usual with leisure and entertainment. Keep in mind that the intellectual tour de force at the time of independence didn't take place to rewrite everything, we just carried on the structures already in place to collect fiscal resources, bureaucratic and administrative fees to pay for those yachts, jets, villas and supercars. In regards to Palestine,
all of the protests take place where freedom of expression is heavily guarded, anywhere else is a risk or timid.
Very intelligent and philosophical man. I respect him as a rapper and a human being. 😊👍💯
Wish I had Patreon. Thanks...💯✨️
All the big CZcams channels drop the full video then eat off clips. These newbies are weird.
My brother is informed and appreciates it fact that he took the time to study history. If you don't know where you come from, you will never know where you going. And I thank you for mentioning Congo and Sudan.
You see this interview, it's an depth conversation of views and opinions, and yet, the only thing people got out of the interview is what he said regarding his view on Drake's music.
You should've learned from shannon sharpe. Post the full thing an make the clips after the full one is out. You'd got more traction so people have issue stealing the clips out of 2hrs. Then make the clips yourself after.
Most won't look beyond the drake thing because the interview is on patreon.
Man mentioned African countries in dier situations. We love you Mos. Celebrities nowadays don't speak out. Look what y'all did to Ye
Shout out YB..he went hard on this..probably went way over most heads..but if you've done the knowledge..you overstand..let's give this video 80 mil views!
Mos Def is Caribbean. He does not speak on behalf of Black Americans, who are staying out of this and focusing on our ethnicity.
Y’all ain’t focusing on shat. Community been in shambles & so it remains. Who do you think you’re fooling?
this Yasiin Bey dude looks exactly like a rapper called Mos Def.
"Every time anyone says that Israel is our only friend in the Middle East, I can't help but think that before Israel, we had no enemies in the Middle East." - John Sheehan
Anthony Bourdain once said, "Today, nearly everything is made in China, except for courage. Courage is made in Palestine."
Yet after every "expulsion" they scream, "Why do they hate us?!" THIS is why.
My guy
🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 forward all.
From NYC, love to all. Bless.
Last I heard of him, he was living in South Africa or something. Is he still there?
Nope, he was deoported back to US for breaking the law.
Have not seen him in a minute good to have him speak on that issue 🤓🙏✋👍❤️
There is room for great ambition in the to-do list describing what's required.
Speak Brother Bey ❤. Thank you for STILL speaking truth ❤
After he said "were all being carpet bombed , even the carpet bombers" he made a face like he knew he said something stupid. 😂😂😂 3:58
This was very insightful and Heavy to digest
THANK YOU for posting this! What happens when the columns start buckling?
Where's the entire interview? Why are we only getting teasers? This man needs his own TV show.
Yassin Bey AKA Mos Def is it damn national treasure.Yo we need to protect him at all costs. Personally I watch every interview he does and I think he's a modern-day Griot. And we need more men and women like this to be praised rather than say but hitler loving rapper who don't even care about his people anymore but rather his image or at least when he's on his meds that's if he is on meds
I went straight to Viet Thanh Nguyen & Saul Williams - Please help Mosab - please - & they went got it ❤❤❤
Yea unparalleled skillz and hardly ever mentioned in top tier ...working craftsmanship. Thanks for this clip
Thank God, thank God for the transforming power of faith. Nature forms us, sin deforms us, schools inform us, jail reforms us, the world conforms us, but Jesus transforms us. He changes people. He literally, actually, eternally changes people.
the world has been a colonial project from day one. the history of humanity is colonialism. the only difference now is the sophistication and destructive capacity of weapons.
wise man , leader
It's sad that this part of the interview barely got any steam on social media, but that little part about drake blew up..
Real "work" is growing 👉🏾Our👈🏾 own food....
"When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof" Leviticus 23:10 KJV 🎺
I could listen to him speak for hours 💯
Yeah he’s right in his observations… I enjoy hearing his thoughts. He speaks in an interesting way too
No lie mixed with truth here! Just pure facts ❤
Thank you
Preach, Yasiin.
“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society” ~ Krishnamurti
God bless America. It’s a great country. No perfect but the best place to live
If your god would bless a place that commits so many atrocities I have no desire to meet your god.
@@EternaMusicProductions you live in a better country ? If so which one ?
No one is blessing a country founded on genocide, slavery, and perpetual injustices.
Thank you Yasiin for speaking truth 🙏🏾
Facts, I feel spiritually sick sometimes!
I guess this is the reason I’m getting Patreon! ❤❤❤
Great Interview
Post the entire video, thanks
If its “par for the course” then how is this “all new”.
P.S. you were fantastic in the movie you played Dr. Vivien Thomas.
He spits gifts of truth. Horrible boons from the divine!
Brilliant. Love this man. A true visionary and artist.
He is very aware and intelligent!!The thing is you need money and power to change things that are going on…If the masses would band together, it can be fought…but we all know everyone will not come together to do so. But everything “they” do will eventually be dealt with, maybe not all here at the earthly level but definitely by The Devine…
The great thing is more and more people are becoming spiritually aware so we are definitely elevating the vibrations on Earth and making some change…much love to everyone 🫶🏽
..and shoutout to @TYTSports CZcams channel for directing me to the original podcast
May Allah bless this man
And forgive him and all of us too
Ameen to the highest degree
