Freedom (theme from Panther) - czcams.com/video/MlUBLIKh3ZQ/video.html
I've been telling everyone who'd listen to go back and watch Panther. I couldn't get through it the first time, it had me so upset. So glad a friend told me to finish it. Powerful movie.
mane i'm old i was 14 when this song came out lol and yea the female verison of this for Panther that one goes hard to they should have did a mass choir the men and the ladies lol
Musicvegan01 At this time in our lives, with all the crazy things that are going on in the world racial or other wise, black men United need to reunite and get another song going.!!!
Melissa Lemon baby thanks for the inspiration I'll just now lost my mother July 11th at 6:18 from dialysis and breathing problem so you know if I buy bad hurtful place right now but I'm blessed at the same time
Thank you soley, and I am glad you liked it
Who's listening in 2024?

Who still listening to this in 2024?
My kid is playing the theme from Panther Freedom..classics with meaning
@@nakuro2686 Much respect to you and your kids 🟥⬛️🟩✊🏿
Me
Here
I woke up thinking about this song this morning for some reason?? I haven’t heard this one in years… weird 5/31/24
Who's listening 2024
Been listening 30 plus years
yup. always and even despite RK lol nothing sounds as good as this.
D’Angelo is a hell of a writer can’t believe he wrote this power house
Word? Never knew that. Thanks Queen.
And he was unknown then
😲😲😲😯😯😯 I did not know
👀😶
@@daniellesmith5673 you will know, you will know, you will know, oh you will know.
Who’s still listening and saluting our black men in 2020?🙋🏾♀️
Yep! We are still here
🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️
I'm listening now - Truly inspiring
I have been singing this since the movie came out. Thats a long time to have a song stuck in your head. Im might sing it better then them now lol
@@vicecity7474 Me Too 😎
Ya'll know what's really sad? If this was done today, there wouldn't be many male vocalists with this level of raw talent to fill that same room.
What's really sad is when Bruno Mars & Justin Timberlake remake this for $$$🙄
Thats very true and unfortunate!
Yeah you are right only a good 10 artist I can think to recreate this beautiful song.
Facts!!! Was just thinking the same thing
@@louiscyfear878 I know right, there is so many reasons they can do this song for a cause, yeah most of these artist will just care about the money first.
29 years later and it still tugs at my heart today. I’m so glad these brothers came together for this historic project. Sadly I don’t think we’ll ever get something like this again.
Never say Never. Always be OPTIMISTIC.
Yes we will. I'm going to look into this PERSONALLY 💯
30 years and nothing has changed. If anything things are worse.
It's even worse now...crazy.
@@namrepusprime6793sad 😢but true
The amount of vocal talent in that one room is mind boggling
Yes, yesssss!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not just vocals. Every one of them were also songwriters and most could play instruments, too. Real musicians. 👍🏽
So Legendary,truly.
Im from this era the 90s I miss alot!!! This singing was was normal back then, It was different time where brothas young and old had to bring they chops with no auto tune. The reason its mind bogging cause not a lot male singers are hitting these notes today or doing harmonious music together. It's a me myself and I era today.. I Love hip hop but it flooded and destroyed the Rnb scene that we were in love with. SmH
They even had "Sexual Chocolate" nem' in the building!
RIP to Gerald Levert, Kenny from Intro, Dino from H-Town, and Melvin from After 7 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes
Melvin from After 7 passed away??
Freddy Gonzalez yes
@@awesomefreddyable i was just as surprised as you
@@shawneetate121 what a real shame.what Vocals
*This song TRULY needs to be the ‘’Black Man’s Anthem’’, all around the world✊🏾*
I totally agree with you
It is
FACTS! TRUTH! 💯💯💯💯💪💪
This song truly needs to be parodied by the Bowser Army "Not Alone"
I. Think that. Would. B. An. Excellent. Idea
The harmonies on this are everything! Real musicians and singers. No auto tune. Just pure talent.
When brothas stood on ten toez #masculinitymatters🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Who still listens to this in 2023🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️
Erica Knight I'm here for it 💪 😎
AS A BLACK MAN,,,,I LIVE THIS SONG EVERYDAY!!!!!🤎🤎🤎💪💪💪
RIGHT NOW AS I'M WRITING THIS!❤
2024
You mean in 2024 too?! Lol 😂 👏🏾💃🏾🎉🙏🏾🎉
22 years later this song is STILL needed.
I agree.
Indeed
Wow I can't believe its been that long...Ditto!
Stan Cooks 🤙🤙🤙🙏🏿
Word! (From your Jewish brother)
This project doesn’t get enough credit 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Black Men United!! Still dope and relevant!
I Totally Agree ❤️❤️❤️ I bet if it was talkin about killin each other and poppin pills, it would have been through the roof.
I cried the first note. Something bout it
@@Incognitoking7: Tragically . . . .you are correct. Thankfully though, there is CZcams available.I come here quite often.
Something about that just makes me mad! We know it’s relevant, we know how the movie was relevant, but it seems irrelevant that black men united, aka, Black Lives Matter, scares the heck out of Amerika! This was a optimistic version of Childish Gambinos portrayal of the current affairs, at the time! Absolutely relevant!
@@trukenyan Black men united is totally different from BLM lets be clear!!!!!!! Im from that 90s era men were Totally different those days. Don't confuse the two. Im more about brothas fixing them self first b4 fixing police issues.. as Black men we need to be there for our children our families we need to fix home first b4 we fix the things around us thats the problem with BLM. This beautiful song isn't about police brutality. It's uplifting black men to do better and stay on your plan. A Plan of righteousness!
OMG Tevin, Stokley, Joe, Brian, Aaron, D'Angelo...and that's just a few. So much talent. Singers were singers. No mumbling, no bullshit inflections that sound like you've had a stroke, no autotune, just talent. Listen to Brian McKnight's runs in this song - pitch perfect, clean, and lightning fast. Unbelievably awesome.
“No mumbling, no bs inflections that sounds like you had a stroke!” The way I just laughed but you summed it up perfectly!
This song is so underrated. This is pure art
Those that dislike this song are the ones that don't know.
Yep, You're Exactly Right Brother, unfortunately 🙏🏾💪🏾🙌🏾
Facts 😂
RIGHT 😭🙌🏾
Real Talk! #howcouldanyonenotlikethissong
All they saw was "Black Men..." that was enough for them to click dislike.
Black Excellence.
Song goes hard 24 years later.
👌👌
💯💯💯💯💪💪
@@vzo14 you do👍🏿
Yeeeees
Tommy Madiba This song never gets old
Yes classic
I was watching the movie Jason's Lyric with my wife, and when the end credits started rolling, this song came on, and i got hit with a flood of emotions. Couldn't stop crying for a sec. All of a sudden in my head I was 14 again like when this soundtrack originally came out. Asking my wife in tears where the time has gone. Great song, great memories.
I can listen to this song ALL DAY! Got my 14 year old son hooked! Brings tears to my eyes that he enjoys it as much as I do!
I thought I was the only person that felt like this
❣️
I hope you and yours are still enjoying it!❤
D’angelo wrote this song!!!!
Well done fellas. This took me back to my junior high years
Reallyyyy I never knew that???
Damn I did not know that, thanks for sharing.
No he didn't anita Baker skip Scarborough and randy Holland and d,angelo real name is Michael eugene
Sheila Jackson
Just an FYI... D’angelo’s real name is Michael Eugene Archer.
@@jeannettesneed me too
This song needs to be rereleased. Being a black man, I feel like we are targeted and if you're not strong enough, you will fall.
Me too my brotha, we have been targeted! I don't what we are going to do it's hard out there especially the fact that we don't have anything positive representing a good black man in the media not unless he is wearing a dress, a skirt or being gay (just saying).
You're exactly right. Hopefully this will pass over us real soon. Because right now, as a whole, we're lost.
Brian Moore
You know there are thousands of good black men who don't get involved in the media. It bugs me trying to figure out why they won't come out positively, but oh well. Maybe people should stop caring about what the media portrays cuz it's just media (superficial b/s). Go research the Lunda, Luba, Kuba, Kongo, and Igbo or something(especially by Pinterest for pics). Go get to know black roots.
Aaron Smith Bruh, that's real talk we as blackmen have become to comfortable in society now bc we have been given alil more than our ancestors...alil more freedom, alil more money, alil more Fortune and many have forgotten about the struggle but the struggle isn't over we are still in a heavyweight fight against society and the lyrics are so true..."your dreams ain't easy!" But "we will know!" One day by and by..."we will know!"
Aaron Smith i love this song.
D’Angelo put his HEART ♥️ and SOUL into writing this song 🎶.THANK YOU SO MUCH D’Angelo for a BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE ✝️🙏💕
Thanks D'Angelo!!!
We honestly need more music like this in 2020
Exactly. That good 90's feeling.
💯💯
@@Uzumaki_Barrage_ Agreed!!
Ebbie we sure do
Wow! hear the melody from the black brothers awesome 💪
This song made me cry so much...To all the black brothers who are honest, good, God fearing, who stand for their families, wives, Children, who put in honest time for honest bread...God bless and keep you all. Be good to one another, share love because BLACK LIVES MATTER.
Dude chill long as esau still breathing im on my 93 pac thug life not kumbayah
@@sumnthinjustaintright7539 Dude chill, that sounds like chimpanzees language, they say pac and that thing that you said and then beat their chest. They don’t like kumbaya , too much monkey business going down. They do it by the troops…I mean gangs….we…same thing. 🤡😂
Damm can't no-one checking on you are care about you friend
As a man period this is a powerful song. The road I've traveled makes every single word relevant and powerful.
"Come on D and sing this song"
A call from Brian McKight to D'Angelo the writer of the song to join in at the end 🙌🏾
Man! I always wondered who D was. These comments put me up on game. I’ve been listening to this since I was a little girl. I still get emotional.
@@charissewilliams5242 You know!! Real emotional song 🙌🏾
You know a song is legendary when there's so many legendary singers featured that Boyz2Men are just part of the backround singers.
I'm a huge Boyz Ii Men fan I was hoping one of them would sing a verse.
Facts! 💯
They need to make a recent version
@@lonnaldcarter6635 agreed
@@lonnaldcarter6635 but who would be on it?
D'angelo wrote this hes a genius
Wow. News in 2019 😄😊😊😎😏
Wow did d Angelo wrote this song OMG I'm here 2019
really yes awesome
D'angelo wrote the music, his brother Luther Archer wrote the lyrics.
Really wow i didnot know that
I first heard this song when I was 4yrs old.... I'll be 32 this year. The power in this song....whewwww! Tears smiles and glory !
I was 9 and I feel the sane way
Aaron Hall straight killed it! Natural soul!!
Facts
Exactly..
R Kelly
Joe & Brian McKnight
My favorite part!!!!
When Tevin hits that first "You will know!!!!" I get goosebumps every time!!! I love this song and the message!!
Yeah tevin's voice can reach the heavens.
I agree. And when Christopher Williams comes in and Brian Mcknight at the end.
Yes, I swear on everything that he had the voice of a god!
♥️♥️♥️
Facts
Just realized we don't have enough male singers to recreate this magic today. :(
Exactly!!
Without autotune please!!!
I was trying to think of who but can’t think of many names
@@coreejacobs4780 Tank, Tyrese, Genuwine, Usher, Trey Songz, Travis Scott, TPain, to name a few but aside from Tank, Tyrese and Usher ion think non of them brothers got dem church chops like the vocalists during that time
Michael Batiste Travis Scott??? Anyway the others are good names I love some of those guys and they would work but Im speaking more on the artists in the video were the artists of that day, the artists you named most really aren’t the artists of today
This song made me cry!!! I have two black young sons. I want them to stand tall and don't fall when it gets hard
The baddest voices in RnB of the 80s & 90s, an unbelievable medley of powerful vocals; I almost missed the king himself R Kelly
I didn't. 😁❤
he kinda went crazy on his part.
If people really understood the message and how powerful this song is
Only You will know
My favorite ❤️
Everybody sounds great, but Tevin Campbell's voice stands out the most because it's like his words are pulling all the way from his feet, just effortless, powerful & genuine.
Tevin, Gerald, Brian, and Rafael, and Stokely are the standouts, all in the beginning
Tevin is known for singing his azz off💥💥💥
R. Kelly and Aaron Hall stood out on this joint
They all sound great. Keep the divisiveness to yourself. Thanks.
@@aconater they both gave me chills. so good 💜
28 years later…STILL an anthem!!!
We need this again.
Amen
When they sang this song at the awards, I felt it was the Best awards ever!
Who's still listening in 2019?
Will still listen to it anytime love this song
I do, just added to daily playlist, so I will always be playing it.
Me all day baby!

Prayers for everyone else, including R. Kelly.
Thousands of hearts to El Debarge.
Sovory: I wish you had made it in the music industry - "Love is stil enough" is my favorite song on the Jason's Lyric album.
🙏🏽💜
R Kelly aint getting a damn thing from me but RIP to everyone who is no longer with us.
@@YoMamaBih wwjd
@@YoMamaBih Preach. It's okay for him to sing about strong black men as long as he's r-wording innocent black girls? Hope he rots in jail.
Praying for r Kelly too
Still listening in 2023, we need a reboot. Love this 😀
But with who half of the newer r&b singers sound like rappers not sangers.
This song gives me chills.
Black man take your rightful place in this world, you can do it!!!!!
😂😂😂Child please

"This song is 21 years old and it still hits hard!"
Jason Winn I was in my twenties when this came out, takes me right back anytime I listen to it. Never gets old
Jason Winn big facts
Jason Winn yes
Im with ya.
Damn, “21”?
Woke up this morning wanting to hear this. Who is still listening to this in 2023?!
Kids today will never know what real music is 90’s era had the best song’s melody that you can understand artists didn’t have to show skin just to make it to the top still listening to my 90’s in 2021
✊
Every artist featured were gold and/or platinum selling artists, before the streaming era. These were the heavy hitters of r&b. It's so beautiful that they all got together to do this. ❤
if the Black community in America needed a song in this day,This has to be it.awesome song
Chris yessss..and We are One.. Frankie B.& Maze..
keisha keesh Yesss! Frankie B & Maze that song hit home
Chris we need to come together as African Descent Kings and Queens United. Please help in the solution. I have put together a facebook group and movement a call upon my people to unite, it is time.

Chris that's true this song is a master piece, something that everyone needs to hear. But unfortunately not everyone can relate to this.
Just posted a long message brother
Must stay United all across the world.from England and the USA and deffo Africa
Who's still here in 2019?!
✋✋✋✋
The energy in this song 24 years later RIP to all the artist that was a part of this song
2020
This always makes me cry. To see black men standing proudly and together, especially now.
British Caribbean guy here in London. Watching this STILL makes me emotional. It touched me back then, when I was in my 20s, and it's no different now. I think it's the joy of seeing so many black men united (as the group's name suggests), happy and being positive. Plus it's a great song in its own right, with a timeless message and gospel-tinged vocals. Finally, it also makes me think about my 20-year-old son. And still we rise, my brothas! 🤜🏽🖤🤜🏽
Peace, Wisdom and Strength bruh.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This song is very special to me. I took my son's mother (my wife at the time) to see Jason's Lyric the day before he was born to get her mind off of the C-section that she was going to have on 9/30/1994. It's been a tradition of mine to watch the movie and at the very least, watch this video on 9/30 every year. Happy Birthday son. I love you and I will cherish the memory of your birth until the day I die. One day when you have children, YOU WILL KNOW exactly how I feel right now.
86kumo ......86kumo, that statement brought tears to my eyes 😢 😢 😢. So touching and beautiful! I hope your son knows he is blessed to have you in his life and what a blessing he is to you and how much he means to you ❤.
Thanks. He does know how much I love him and I'm truly blessed to have him as a son. God bless
86kumo That's so lovely. Good bless you too 😊
86kumo God*
wow now that's priceless thx for sharing
Michael Eugene Archer aka "D'Angelo" wrote, arranged, and produced this--he assembled this choir as well!
this tha powerz that be in the industry was jealous of this unity and blackballed Him
"And Mr. D'Angelo Himself Did Outstanding Amazing Job With This Inspiring Song."😍😍😍
S/O To All Our Beautiful Courageous BLACK MEN IN AMERICA!!! We As BLACK WOMEN Stand With Y'all.!!!!💯💯💯♥️♥️♥️

I had no idea! Though it was RKelly
At 2:43 you hear dangelo get some riffs in
D is a genius
What an AWESOME song/anthem!! Everyone nailed their part. I love the part where R. Kelly says, "Stand up tall, don't you fall!" 🙌 This here is timeless! This came out the year I graduated high school. Love it then and still loving it now.
R. Kelly killed his part..my favorite..when he sings..it gets hard sometimes.
R. Kelly said "stand up tall don't you fall ". Enough said I love it.
Can you imagine Jacquees trying to sing any part of this song???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@willfuller7571 I can actually. He would be an asset. He has a beautiful voice.
That’s my part too
Tevin's and Gerald's voices are the best!

Let this sink in… There was so much talent in that studio, Little G (Silk), Dino (H-Town), Boys II Men, and Al B. Sure DIDN’T even get to sing individual parts.. And they were platinum artists! Whew! 🔥
Lenny Kravitz played the strings. I'm fascinated by how this all came together
@@fangal12 yes!
You look at this and you can’t help but wonder, “How did we get away from this, and how do we get back to it.”

Listening 02.2023, I can't get enough, I love this song❤️💥🇩🇪
Next month is black history month this video should be posted everywhere. It shows strong positive black men that came together for something good. I never heard of this before until I just found it and for me it's so profound I've been sending it to lots of people
I just heard it for the first time today and I'm 33 smfh. Was in shock
@JSH757King Exactly exactly why isn't this featured Drawing black history month it is such a positive Message Of what they did but they would Post something negative
this should be the national anthem
aww...yes, that would be grrat
If that was the case ,I believe Keapernick would stand for this song!
Yes he would, and he would be justified in doing so....
Jiao Xu indeed
AMEN!!!
To all the black brothers out there. Hang in there👊
We will forever.
So much talent and seeing black men unite to bring joy and a beautiful song to the masses was amazing! I love this song!! Still listening in 2024
I just noticed we loss some good ones their voices can never be duplicated!! May they Rest in Paradise!!!😢😢😢😢

We gotta show them way by leading by example, constantly prayer over them, and constantly taking them to church. God will do the rest 😊♥️
Tevin C, a legend. Someone messed up this young man's life & career. But he has risen from the ashes. Raw talent!
GOD is gonna take of that he had promising career ahead him.

Also try to fuck with his image and try to put him out as a gay guy but when he sing Sssshhhhhhhh... break it down there’s nothing gay about it! That was 100% heterosexual

this song is so POWERFUL to those who will LISTEN and SEE the BIGGER picture Not just black love but brotherly love #blkhistory2023
Oh my god that transition from R. Kelly to Joe to Aaron Hall....lord have mercy please that almost killed me.
This song just about killed me, so many talented young black men in one song! Just think about how surprised I was when I was 15 when this song came out......in absolute awe!
Brian McKnight did awesome as well
+LaTonya C I was thinking the same 😊
Yeah they all did, especially R Kelly, Gerald Levert (rip), and Tevin Campbell
Ahdree23 They went to church fo show!
Now this is real music wish we had these type of voices and powerful messages today.

To all of these talented brothers coming together. I would like to see this done again.
This song is even more relevant now that it was when it was written. Our young black men need more guidance to stay alive
Amen my brother.there need direction
This song is universal but mainly for black men dont give up
it was universal, Black American songs were universal.
