This makes me happy. People finding his tremendous older work from his astounding newer work.

2 reasons i like this guy 1. he's epic 2. his name is the name of my favourite teenage mutant ninja turtle :D

I remember watching this when he was first on and still today his shit moves me because of the delivery and how it speaks to things that affect me and us all. This is for all the women in the room who think men don't burn, that when it comes to heartbreak it's never our turn, it don't matter who or what is to blame because when it comes to the first week after a breakup alone always feels the same. - Rafael Casal

I performed this years ago after a bad split. This poem is so on point

He nailed that.

6 days down. 6 more years to go :( counting the days doesn't help

This poem is beautiful.. The pure truth is just so so much

This speaks to my soul.

damn. 441 likes and only 1 dislike?? This is really good. one of the best ive heard. but my #1 favorite is Amir Sulaiman - She said she'd prefer a broken neck to another broken heart. It is a really POWERFUL poem.

Watched this years ago when I was going through tough times, decided to dig it out and re-watch it again today. The last line still gives me chills.

Whenever i feel like going back to the moment I loved, i listen to this, sit back & relax. Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful. It's so nice to hear a guy tell it like it really is.

Hes soo good..almost everytime i hear his poetry,first he always has a real message,and he seems like he always challenges his self,more n more!! An second.I always wanna give up writing when i hear him. People go through stages as a writer,he's no dummy in that feild.Good Artist!

WOW ... deeper than the Mariana Trench...Jheez!!!!!

cant lie i like his breathing between lines that was actually like an enhancement for me while watching

Awww man from one poet to another let me say this you seriously did the damn thing and I loved it.

This was amazing 👏🏽

You have such talent. Please keep sharing your poetry with the world.

I think this is amazin, very clever and well thought out, he nailed it with this one.

still feeling that sting of alone man. he speaks the truth

Still loving this in 2020 🥰

omgosh literally 😂

I WILL FOREVER LOVE THIS

People in my family were close to him... i didn't know him but i wish i did. My dad's side came from the same area... and they were just good friends. They knew kate, joe, all the kids and still knew them after all their success. i would've been honored to meet him. - stay peace

alone never feels the same..

My heart literally ached because this is so ridiculously true.

omg i'm totally in love with this guy. I don't know if he has anymore def jams, but just after hearing his Barbie and Ken 101, omg... and this one just agghh! he awesome(:

i love this

he's mr. tophat on nick's "are you afraid of the dark" remake check it out

this guy is too good!!

I just downloaded his album. Hot.!! I love him. And this. Jealousy & Neglect.

@rafaelcasal Of course you inspire my poetry all the time.. i fell in love with your poetry when i first heard it.. im only 16 but i hope to be close to your level someday.....

He's not the only person i sing like... i can sing like myself and i do sometimes. - stay peace

This is as clever as it is beautiful

breathtaking.

I always get goosebumps, always

I always think the guy doesn't care, but now I realize I'm wrong. I can definitely feel him on this.

sooo trueeeeeee love itttt

that was..amazing.

Just broke up with my girlfriend. And what he articulates in this poem is so true.....

So good!!

looooove this

He cute

This dude is the truth

ey dats sum solid stuff ryt dr... you have a poet in u

This is a good poem.

LOVE HIM!!!!

whoop whoop love dis

To be honest when I broke up with this guy I thought to myself wow guys are actually so heartless . Do they even care? How do they forget so easily? But after hearing this poem I understand and I thank you.

Man, that was fucking great....you describe the first break-up to a T. I'm going through it right now. Ain't easy! But dis video is helping me through it....thanks man. :)

He did this at 19? Damn. Give it up, ladies and gentlemen for... A Real Man.

exactly ma feeling the first one week was hell and now 2 months down the line feels like eternity

Fucking beautiful

What a man.

Great poem keep it up.

Damn 😢

He is so real

Dang. How's he know what was in my head six years ago

@SingItLeslie Let me kno when your finished... interested in the listening to it...

everyone can relate to this...

Nice!!!

He's awesome the fast delivery he puts in all his poems, is that his style or do you think he's nervoius

Holy shit, this is emotional.

Damm he was 21 in this video?!

goosebumps

Wow

Dat boi got talent

Spoken truth

@LaughingLlama It could really go both ways. He could've broken up with her over problems and now he's in a regret/guilt stage or she could have broken up with him too for the same reasons. Idk not really defined.

last line is from the song all the rest by Twiztid just so you know

awwwwww

Alone, always feels the same.

oh shit, my heart sank..

I heard that!

This is still my fave piece by you. Is there anywhere I can find the words to this? I want to add it to my wall art collection, if that's okay. :)

THIS SHIT IS DEEPPPP

Daaammmnnn he said a mouthful.... Hell, we be crying & snotting & shit too.... Then tell everybody it ain't nothing & carry it to the grave

Casal sounds like Kasal. Kasal in Filipino means Marry. Rafel, Kasal me.

@funkluv that's his style. He's a rapper too so it might stem from that as well.

AAAAWWW!!

Say that bruh *snap* *snap* *snap*

# swagggg

Fucking love this poem!

Deep

Damn

i like the whole poetry,but my favorite part is when he starts talkin about jealousy dreams about deceiving so that's what we do, live out each others nightmare until where bed full of problems N' solvin is not an option cause solutions our fuel.......

the one person who thumbs down obviously cant relate...

Damn..

psh. Two months. That was me for two months. But It's cool to know he was the same. (I just took insanely long)

Real shyt

Wow :/

OH. MY . FUCKING. GOD! love this right here

Ain't it the truth!

he is so damn cute lol

the one person that disliked this poem must be the lonely girl he's talking about lol

I swear he must know me
