The deaf rapper.

I love rap music. This can be looked at as music that has no meaning except profanities and partying. However I am inspired by these hard working individuals who spend many days and nights perfecting this art. This video explains how rap music has reached the deaf community. By introducing the first deaf rapper. This is an amazing story.

    I liked this and didn't know about this. I think that he is great and I love when he said I want to show hearing people that Deaf people can do anything. I love that through all he has been through that he is not holding back and pursuing his dream. Thanks for sharing this.

    When I read the title of this I thought you were talking about Sean Forbes. Wrong!!! This was great. I'm glad in a way that it was another Deaf person following their dreams. This was a great story about how the Deaf are left out of some much. But that they can do something in their lives and become somebody, which is what we all want for our lives. To be somebody. I really liked this video. I mean it is sad what JJ had to go though to understand what he wanted out of life. The great part is that he found it. Thanks for sharing this.

    I love watching this video. I am glad that he isn't ashamed of being deaf and is going to become a deaf rapper.

    This is just more proof that the Deaf community can do ANYTHING if they put their mind to it. This was so cool and is very inspirational to not only the Deaf community. It is also inspirational to those who are talented but share their talents in a different way.

    This is really amazing! I never really thought of deaf rapping. It's just another thing this class has introduced me to
