To see poetry on national television, to see one of the greatest art forms get some of the spotlight, to see one of my favorite poets kill it on stage...its amazing. It truly touches my heart.

I'm so happy for Rudy 👏

SO proud of how far Rudy has come!!!

Finally he gets some exposure imagine he did the starbucks chai latte poem that would've made me even more excited

This is so dope! I remember doing open mics and college events with this guy when I was just barely getting started playing keys. Used to hate performing after him because he'd always have the crowd so mesmerized haha. Dude has always been incredible

Seeing Rudy get this kind of recognition warms my heart. He is an absolutely *remarkable* poet and deserves every cheer, every clap, every tear his words bring to understanding eyes.

I’ve been following Rudy for a while and I’m so happy to see him get here!!

Who could dislike this? And why?

Seen him speak twice in public and I am so amazed at how far he has come in 6 years. Love you Rudy!

Had to find this and listen again, after hearing it last night on the Tonight Show. Fabulous!

His voice makes my heart beat fast, and his poems make me have a lump in my throat is amazing

Jimmy should do more poets. I'm ending my 2018 with poetry.

Look at Rudy!! So happy more people are getting to hear your poetry.

I'm so proud of him. I've been reading and listening to his poems for about 2 or 3 years. I am so happy for him.

HE IS MY FAVORITE! crying tears of joy so happy for you Rudy!

I’m so happy for Rudy. He is one my biggest inspirations when it comes to writing. Been following him for a while and I’m glad that his talent is finally being recognized. Awesome job. Much love from NY.

Every single time, stop making me cry!!!

I remember when I preformed a piece at my high school poetry slam and I got to meet Rudy Francisco, I was so happy that he was there. I am so happy to see him here, he is truly inspiring. A real hero.

Amazing and inspiring! We all should be thankful for life and appreciate the simple acts of kindness toward others and oneself. Peace and blessings.

Extremely proud of Rudy ♥️

I’m so beyond happy to see you here!!!!!!!!!

This guy is amazing. Gave me the chills I almost cried damn. 👏🏼

I've been following Rudy since a spoken word event in DC back in 2012 had the amazing opportunity to meet him briefly with my good friend Qui who opened my eyes to the world of spoken word. So excited for Rudy and his accomplishments since then! Actually have my own copy of 'helium' and even the written version of the spoken passion gives me chills that resemble the tremble and excitement in the voice of the performance of Rudy. My favorite of Rudy's will always be My Honest Poem. Spoke to me in 2012 and continues to check me going forward. Keep doing you Rudy, it's the truth.

So glad I caught this Brother’s performance on Fallon. I’m keeping the words in my heart and mind as I share the message with others. Well said, young man.

I'm so proud of you Rudy. Since 2011 I've loved you. I became a performance poet because of you. You inspired me to continue to trust in my process and be patient in the pattern I am creating. My poem "The Monolouge of a Stripper" gets so many good comments and liked by many so I'm going to keep pursuing my core's intent. I am so happy! You've come so far. We, as your fan-mily have come so far. So please, realise you''ve helped me as a Poet. I love you!!!!!!!!!
