The crowd did not give him anything to work with. I was amazed by the music looping. Incredible
I appreciated your humor very much beautiful man.thank you
I love Supaman! Been a fan of his for years now. I know most of his raps, but I never heard his jokes til today. These people in the crowd are stunned by his brilliance or they have no humor. They're not getting his wit at all. My fav is the one about his wife kneeding that $$ 😂 Good One! It's gotta be hard to stand up in front of a stiff tough crowd. Honoring him for spreading the Love regardless! ❤️ He's one of the most talented artists of our lifetime!
I LOVE YOU Supaman!!! You are medicine.
thank you for allowing the Creator to use you! You are truly gifted!
I'm about half way into this, chasing bronze, Dark and Light, I'm inspired by the music bringing me further. Thank you Your beautiful also If I could sculpt a knight of true life it would be you..
So much healing needed to all the original people of the "Americas" like he said love no hate is key for the future.Sicarù siadò

There’s FinCon and TechCon. I wish there’s an International Tribe Conference that every year the Tribes people around the globe will gather and showcase this traditions and culture for everyone’s awareness and diversity. It would be cool!

Talented and handsome. 💗 Much respect, brother. Love from Oceti Sakowin. #MniWiconi 💦🌿🌎✊
8:30 my mother and grandmother sang that part of the song as I grew up. Very different with all the added beats, love it!! 🎶🎤🎧🥁✊ A'hé ée (I'm full Díné Navajo Indian)

I love the message and think it would be great if this man would do a spoken word video with the same message. I think that he would get a lot of hits!

I love Supaman! His voice, prayer dancing, and message is so needed! Spread his message, spread his videos, spread the love he is talking about. Peace and love only.
Hip hop is Hypocrisy damn that sumed up exactly how i feel about the media industry may god bless the truth!!! its good to know your kind still exist gods many blessinngs ❤️
Awsome
I heard him on "American Routes" by PRX a while back and had him on my "to listen to" list. I wish I'd heard him sooner. I'm enjoying it.
awesome! I am a white man. I love this. I have a little Cherokee blood in me . I just found this and spirit whistle and young spirit a few days ago. I can't stop listening to it. the drums and purity of it is medicine for my soul I feel I missed my calling. I want to join a tribe. is it ok for a white man not in a tribe to go to a powwow?

I love the Apaches. I have been praying for God to confirm or dismiss my strong desire to be a ministering friend to the White Mnt. Apaches. I live in CT and my time here is completed. I pray God' s will be done and For His wisdom and direction.
It's 2020. This man has taught me more about racism and how the atrocities of the past effect people in the present than any BLM actions

Best Ted talk I have ever heard ❤ 😢 the truth hits hard Why are some men Rich why others are poor.. that is racism. It has nothing to do with color.. our brothers and sisters continue to suffer.. Not God's Plan.. or mine how about 👉 as the tears begin to fall from heaven to nourish the land. 2024 surfing legends

Your amazing your so talented your great keep going strong us Native Americans must take our stand ..your absolutely a wonderful intertainer...much love and most of respect I post you on my page Native Power...❤
So proud of supaman
It was painful to witness such a limp response from the audience to the brilliance of this man. His teachings are true to Native form - non-intrusive, incorporating light humor to unify, and owning his truth. Yet the audience was so lukewarm. Supaman, I hope you keep doing your magic because that is your gift.
Thanks for your up date
🎶🙌✊🙏
What lessons can we learn from the past to continue to move us towards a better world for all of us? We had a dark beginnings in this country after European contact, we can learn from it not by ignoring it, but from honoring those sacrifices and a commitment to doing better .
Glad to be here. Glad to be alive
Fire tracks 😄
SUPAMAN IS SO SUPPPPAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
Sound good brother
