Awesome. I think i watched that in middle school health class. my favorite part was Mr. T telling us how to turn mistakes into cool stuff- this kid was walking down the street and tripped, but then started to break dance, so all the other kids thought he was cool.
My friend has this on Beta! I had Mr. T pajamas when I was a kid.
I think the name of the whole video is “Be Somebody or Be Somebody’s Fool.
Mr. T’s rap is solid, no doubt but how about Hulk Hogan, Randy “Macho Man” Savage and the 1986 Chicago Bears?

Veerrrrrry fresh!
wow…wow….and wow. Nice Camo-daisy dukes, T!
You should know that a lot of the songs on this video were written by Ice T.
most disturbing part… as if the entire thing wasn’t disturbing in some way, was the grotesque little kid with the massive glasses and wearing the biker gloves massaging his mom’s back. Disturbing and strangly erotic.
OMG my cousin used to have this on tape and it was the best thing ever!
Highlights:
1) “Recouping”- i.e. if you trip and fall, act like you meant it to be a dance move!
2) “table the label and wear your own name!”- teaching kids that designer clothing is bad.
3) The heritage segment – best line, from a korean-american girl “I’m was born in San Francisco. But my dad was born in…(wait for it)…Sacramento!”.
that’s absolutely golden
i like how the back-up singers moves are so out of sync
gold. Pure gold.
Any chance there’s a Quicktime version of this floating around somewhere?
The whole video is just as bad, excuse me glorious.

G.
The whole video is horribly great. I see the whole thing pop up occasionally in those BitTorrent communities the kids keep talking about.
http://www.seanbaby.com has been praising(?) this vid for years!
Holy cow! The girl at the end who randomly goes “Be somebdy!” ? That’s the girl from Summer School with Mark Harmon – the dyslexic one that he takes out for driving lessons!
You think that’s fucked up. That little kid is a fucking doppleganger for C. Thomas Howell in Soul Man.

it’s true though. moms are great and you should treat her right. all you hipsters should go call your moms right now and tell her how much you love her.
Is that music sampled from Rockwell?
that was hilarious. i haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. thank you.
my favorite part was the girl at the end with the mullet sticking out of the headband. i was a little worried throughout the video that something was going to pop out of the camo short shorts. five stars
I have this video on VCD. It’s pretty fun… Good shit to play in the background afterhours.
i love the blatant teleprompter reading. mr. t you’re my hero, i love my momma.
brilliant!!!!
speaking of iconic 80s black superheros

Oh Mr. T, you educatin’, multi-talented, ever pityin’ da fool man.

Oh if someone could tell me where I can download the video, that would be great. I’ve only seen streaming versions and can’t snag it. Thanks.
Can anyone please help me!!! and give me the downloadlink of this video!!! I fucking love this video!!!
What did you buy at Mr. Leeway’s sale, dennard?
