Hometown Heroes

Me: when rufio : reads the poem to me :

I can’t believe this kid ended up becoming a hunter in the TVA 🤯🤯🤯

My boyfriend and I changed the station on the radio and it was the middle of a spoken word piece and obviously because it was on the radio I couldn’t rewind to hear the beginning of it, we skipped it. But I was thinking about this exact clip in the moment and I’m so glad my past self saved this video so that my present self could enjoy it again in the moment.

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

❤

This is just one of Dante's most erotic and sexiest pieces I ever watched.

Tenderlyyyy

That's the one I play on Blood and Bone

Well alright now!

did he fart

It’s 2022 and I STILL listen to this often…. Love this so much

Poetry is almost like Rapping to me...Dante Did great bro!!!

Wow

Saw a Dante Basco appreciation post and had to revisit this

Keep coming back to this at least once a year.

He unleashed his inner AmDrag... Nobody's replacing him, EVER!

2:16 Oh my God! Jake just swore.

Aw!

I wonder if this is about the girlfriend he told that he couldn't be a father when she became pregnant. Did she break up with him?

So good!!

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

Twiztid all the rest

Me: It’s Dante Basco, he is performing his own poem! My Mind: Fire Lord Zuko describing the conceiving of Izumi.

Still loving this in 2020 🥰

💕

Still my favorite poem. I'm 28 but been listening to this before age 20.

So funny

tEndERLYYY~~~

This dude is the truth

How did no one bust out laughing after the ✨🎶tenderly🎶✨

how did this man get a job with? nickelodeon...

Oh snap i just realized he was on Moesha !!!!

But don't judge her. Or me. It's just a place I've been.

Sokka took Zuko one night to the poetry club in ba sing se just to see how bad he would do for some laughs but instead realized he can spit bars better than him and the attendees and basically anyone

I think Zuko voices him

This almost makes you wonder if that prince zuko rap is actually him 👀

Been over 13 years and i still come back to this

t e n d e r l y

God damn Zuko trying to be like the big boys eh

Damn I miss this show

Damm he was 21 in this video?!

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

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

This was amazing 👏🏽

RUUUUUUFIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I loved him then ( i still CROW) lol only 90' s kids would know this 1 R.i.p the legend and honorary mcee( master of ceremonies) Robin Williams

Prince Zuko's poem about Katara Edit: Not a Zutara shipper because, to me, Zutara shippers don't come for me, is the WORST Atla ship

never been more thankful to be named nikki ily zuko!

haha! too funny!
