Still crying... there are no words. I'd pay for welfare for the rest of my working life if it would stop abortion (it wouldn't... two different dynamics going on). This was just beautiful and I signed his guestbook to let him know how much I admired him.

[Mr. Silverback]

Nick Cannon always struck me as a nice kid. I'm really glad I was right about him.

ProLife Ping!

Self ping for later googlizing

[Mr. Silverback]

I am no expert on hip hop, but from what I have read, the subject of abortion is addresses in hip hop more than any other type of music.

That would be most appropriate, since abortion basically amounts to genocide against American Blacks. Three out of five Black children don't make it out of the womb.

$315 ain't worth your soul

Now that's the stuff!

Does anyone know where I can download a high quality version of this?

Yes. The process is a bit involved but this video is worth it (plus you will be able to download other streaming video files in the future). This process is particularly valuable to the "bandwidth challenged" who want to see or hear the high resolution versions of streaming video and audio files on the Internet that their Internet connection won't support directly.

1) Download and install a program like Net Transport 2.

2) View the source of the web page with the video and figure out the location of the actual video (this is the tough part). For this video it's:

mms://a307.v0326f.c326.g.vm.akamaistream.net/7/307/326/427bde6e/bmgent.download.akamai.com/326/zombalabelgroup.com/nick_cannon/video/can_i_live_300.wmv

3) Run Net Transport (or a similar program), select "New", paste in the URL location in step #2 and select the directory you would like to download the file to.

4) Be sure to post the source locations of future video and audio files referenced in threads like this that you find so people like me won't have to!

Oh my!! This young man is fantastic, brave and my hero. It takes so much to stand up for the right in this day and age. I don't listen to hiphop often, but I'm going to buy this one.

Mr. Cannon probably set out just to make a heartfelt tribute to his mother because of the decision she made. It's more than a touching tribute, and this was masterfully put together with a star-filled cast.

But, Mr. Gannon does not realize how big this is, nor on how many toes he's stepping (stomping, actually).

Fasten your seatbelt, Nick. You're going to have an extremely bumpy ride from here on out.

[cyborg]

Agree 100%

[MikeD]

Wow. I'm stunned. Beautiful lyrics, beautiful video...

[iwannaknow07]

I was thinking that myself... although, I truly hope he stands up for himself, his story, and his video... he's already saved lives. I hope this doesn't end up as a negative aspect of his career... or the end of it.

Incredible. I wish I could fit this into the church service I am doing.

Just wear a clock on a necklace, put your hat on sideways, and leave your shoes untied. Then get the sound man to zip up the subwoofers, and THROW DOWN!!

The bluehairs will dig it!

[Randjuke]

Wow. Very powerful video and song, kudos to Nick Cannon.

Very funny! </extreme sarcasm>

Could you just see AppyPappy doing that in front of a church?!? lol!

No, I couldn't.

That would be nice. I just showed this to the she-wolf and a few of her beauticians. Neither one of these females had a dry eye.

That said a lot.

http://www.jalive.com.jm/showvid.asp?strmArtist=Nick%20Cannon&ftr=&strmTitle=Can%20I%20live. It's nice to see a hip hop artist with a real message, that is actually reaching a group of people who need to see things from another angle.

Do you have a different link, that one didn't work and I would really like to see it.
