Maybe there should be a third choice of somewhere in between.

^ Good idea.

Really, I can understand why it got pulled. Some of the images in the video as well as callin for dudes to get lynched prob’ly shouldn’t be allowed to tell the truth. I don’t really think they’re tryin’ to stop his message against what he sees as wack rappers, cause there’s prob’ly at least a thousand other videos on there that have the same message. But just like Youtube would ban something else with imagery of someone being hanged or sex, they banned this. I dig the guy’s feelin’s on hip-hop and all, but some of that just seems like some callin’ out names shit to get attention.

this is the most ignorant song i’ve ever heard.

republican rap is out of control.

Probably could have been said a bit more intelligently, kind of like Soul on Ice and Stakes Is High did.

Republican rap??

and you called what he said ignorant??

LOL

Well, I think the shot of a girl with nut all over her face might violate the Youtube terms of service a tad.

Actually, I thought his points were stated quite intelligently. It’s not the scholarly crowd that needed to hear this record. Its the brothers and sisters who are acting out what it is that he is complaining about. You’ve got to speak the language that they speak.

Furthermore, I don’t think it’s fair to come down on him for expressing his viewpoint. I hear people complaining about how no one in Hip Hop is saying anything relevant, but when a brother does come out with a song that is saying something other than “Do Yo Chain Hang Low,” the people don’t support.

Eventually people, the day will come where you will have to pick a side. That being said, overall, It’s about balance. There hasn’t been much in Hip Hop For quite some time. I found it refreshing to see that I’m not the only brother who feels like some cats in Hip Hop need to get “Drop Squadded” And as much as I love Rass Kass and De La Soul, they are above most of the heads of the people who need to get the message. (If you don’t believe me take it to tha streets and see what they say.)

At a time when the Hip Hop generation is on the verge of making the same mistakes that the first beneficiaries of the civil rights movement made, I gotta commend this dude for putting this video together. At least he’s standing up for what he believes in, the rest of the Hip Hop dudes are too busy falling for anything.

I think its cool that a decent artist can get some attension for saying “STOP!”
Ofcourse it’s a publicity stunt as well. But it works.
I made a similar song in 97 called “What’s the attitood?” – but everything is MUCH worse now.

The main problem with ‘Soul On Ice’ and ‘Stakes Is High’ is not that they are over people’s heads, it’s that they’re ten years old. And the main problem with conscious rap today is not that it’s too smart, it’s that it sounds ten years old. It’s funny how many people think everyone else is stupid.

I haven’t searched for it recently, but there is a video by French rap group, Ideal J, on utube that makes this look like Mr. Rogers.

Its a good messsage. Its typical of rap to use extreme talk, so I don’t expect any kinda subtlety. Subtlety wouldnt work anyway. More important than anything is that its a lame beat and he has no flow so while the message is a useful one the medium suffers from ummmm tedium. He needs one of those nitty beats which I hear cost 50thow. At age 40 I lament so many of the lyrics of popular rap and sometimes it causes me to turn off, but some of it, ignant as it is, cannot be resisted due to the sound. This was true of Public Enemy on their time and its true of some of the most lyrically repugnant Southern crunk shit. This guys sound, on the other hand is very easy to resist. Yes we need progressive rap, I think, but not if it sound like this. I agree with his sentiments but I dont want to hear this song again cos it dont sound good.
That said even if a new wave of progressive rap take center stage again like in the late 80’s. So what? Will it amount to a hill of beans in the long run? What has the lasting result of Public Enemy been some 20 years on? All I have is a memory of black self-awareness and listening to Farrakhan. It now seems like an empty uselesss memory at that, causing me to think if some genius comes up with the formula to lyrically and musically lynch the current wave of ignant-ass thug and bling rappers so what. Itll just be another soon to be forgotten trend. I’ve learnt not to expect much more than that my music sounds good and make my head irresistably nod. This song makes me feel like nodding off, kinda like you probably feel after reading this long rambling comment

I like this song.

End of story.

what are they sampling in the chorus?

“Subtlety wouldnt work anyway.” true

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5hf_l6LL40

I think this is the clip Macia mentioned… Visually way more fucked up than Ny Oil’s.. yet it’s still on YouTube.

I like the track.
Thats That.
mBane

Any medium that promotes using traditional racial execution especially towards someone of thier own race is not doing anything to promote positive change. Sounds like a shock tactic, a gimmick. why not make a dope song on your own merit instead of trying to shine off folks just doing themselves? If the music is that dangerous then it will eventually destroy itself, its not that serious. now black people calling each other coons and jigaboos, thats a problem.

great song

he calls for the flavor flav’s of the world at the end of the song. there’s a reason that they don’t exist anymore, except on flavor of love: they sold out too, just like the other rappers he calls out.
also, i gotta agree with the guy that said that this cat is “very easy to resist”.
also, listen to his tracks. one of his tracks is what he’s calling out, “turn it up”, also the only one that people can download. i guess it’s on that “every rapper is allowed one ass shaker song” rule…

DATS WHATS UP

that good 4 this white washed whiped wanna be rapper..this gay ass nigga got my acount pulled
becuz i ?ed hisb self hateing track.
so fuck that broke nerd!

What you just saw and heard was HIP HOP, not rap music. HIP HOP has messages in music, not catered to main stream america. Now we can sit here and recite the whisper song by Ying Yang Twins.. but its not loud enough to be heard. The time has come people..To be or not to be.. microchipped is the question. If you want to hear more real HIP HOP..check out Immortal Technique.. or Joel Ortiz…I agree with Nas… HIP HOP is DEAD… RAP MUSIC is in full effect..

I worked at the Boys and Girls club for a little over a year, and I must say that this is on point. If you don’t think that things are bad and need to change then you are living in another world.

Bravo fellas

Lynch em’ all, starting with D4L, then The ying Yang Twins, then The Game, then Dem Franchize Boys, then Yung Joc-Strap (who really is a coon), then Mike Jones and finish it off with this little douche bag Jibbs.

Kool Kim you should do a Hip-hop Sucks because of you feature on Southern Bubble Gum/Crunk/Snap Music.

i think he telling it like it is! when shall we realize that by doing what we do, we are influencing our children into doing the same. would we want to be known as people that rap about the hood and killing our fellow brothers and sisters or as revolutionists and inventors!! 20 years from now, who will have more respect? malcom x or 50 cent?

Someone had to say it. I think that hip hop has officially entered what rock music went thru with the “hair metal” phase.
I personally thought Stakes is High was gonna set some shit off, but alas the masses sleep.

We live in universe of polarity. The pendulum has been at the darkside for a fair bit now, so I hope this one song pushes the pendulum in the other direction, the right direction.

The direction and agender of latter-year hiphop has been set by the needs of thugs, hoes and other numerous sociopathic groups. It’s time black people take back what is ours – Good must eventually triumph.

This is a powerful statement that needed to be made. Anyone who thinks this is to harsh for people to see WAKE UP!! Look at our society anything we want is at the touch of a button on the internet. Kids can see porn and all that by going to the sites. TV is no better…nigga is used on network and cable tv and not censored. Shows like Fear Factor where people eat disgusting things and shows like Flavor of Love where a woman deficates on camera and proud of it is ridiculous.

Why are we so afraid to see lynching photos?? Are we ashamed as black people or scared of what white people will think if we discuss these atrocities?

We need to stand up against these sambo’s who bring us down culturally, politically, and socially. As long as the group who made this video is true in what they say then I’m behind them. Hopefully they will be picked up and a real message can be spread but will probably stifled out by corporate executives who are mostly rich powerful white males who don’t give a f* about black people and the state of black people as long as we keep ourselves down…

Peace and Love

Yo, this is on some real shit here son. My mans is speaking 1000% truth. 95% of these rap cats are truly faking every thing they are. Most these cats are not from the hood. Most these cats came from a good home and have little knowledge about the streets. They only know what they see or research. I’m glad someone in hip-hop has finally called these so-called mcs out. Tell me this: how you gone be a preacher one day and the next you rappin bout money, hos and cars. Every body know who I’m talking about, c’mon man lets get real. Take hip-hop back to what it used to be, lets make it real and wanted again. Thanks for callin these wanna bes out man, one.

i love it

so true

Thanks for speaking what has been on so many minds. Rappers out here celebrating like everything is good, take a look around, nothing is good right now…

Huge Respect to NYOIL…from Minnesota…

too bad only white people are watching this.

PE’s lasting effect on me-I volunteer to work with Big Brothers to be a mentor (like a did such a good job with my own-sorry Big Spice!) and now I am involved in other programs to try and change these kids minds but there is such a disconnect.
When Stakes is High was out my man (no homo) was teaching in Bklyn, they didnt know who he was even talking about.
On the real, you cant force feed knowledge…like any other social ill, they need to hit bottom. (I think with Laffy Taffy we are close)I honestly would like to see some of (inevitable) North/ South beef..put these idiots in their place for disrespecting the culture that people like Bambatta laid the foundation for. The worst part is that THESE clowns are the ones who are getting PAID.
I honestly cant even listent to this shit anymore-I hear Jim Jones talking about cook it, flip it etc.
Man anyone who lived thru the crack epidemic knows better than to glamorize that shit. Real tough to be a big man in NYC now that the Police run the city and the place looks like Witchita.

“Real tough to be a big man in NYC now that the Police run the city and the place looks like Witchita”

^ Hostyle from Screwball voice Hoo-Ha!

yeah man its funny how the crime rates drops dramatically and all the sudden every rapper runs blocks..right. Busta Ryhmes you fucking went to uniondale HS, you class clown. STOP.

Living in Atlanta I can say that this needs to be heard. I live in a city where you can’t even take your parents (or anyone else you respect) to the mall without having to see half of the guys in boxers with jeans just meeting the bottom hem being held up by hand at the crotch like they’re holding there privates. It’s embarrassing and really inapropriate. They have an attitude of indestructability and aggression. This is a result of their role models in mainstream music and life.
In present day where the majority wants peace, they seem to be shooting each other up daily.
I feel that this is an accurate idea and a great vehicle to reach this crowd. As previously stated, subtlety wouldn’t begin to reach them. I wish that they could see that in the eyes of the rest of the population, they are only taking steps backward in the stride for equality. And dare I say that many have an automatic hate for whites and are being just as racist as they assume all whites are.

its none of those things. what it is is a dope song by a suprisingly really good rapper trying to make a point and saying something. this is good shit.

shit was hot.

Hip Hop is a form of self expression. As a people freed from slavery, we should be allowed to express ourselves as we chose. I Cannot condone lynching and degrading my people using racist terms, which would be used universally on us by any random white person, whether it be toward an intellectual or an ignorant black person. So, some brothers make a song telling women to shake their ass, lets hang them coon colored nigger darkie sambo tarbaby jigaboos, KILL EM ALL! This is a self destructive way of thought. Its funny noone suggests talking and building with these brothers to get an understanding. I Wonder if This would even be an issue if the songs were not popular. Laffy Taffy is almost a year old and no longer on the charts but its still the scapegoat for everybodys beef with hip hop. I say unless there is no diatribe with the accused, the slander and stereotypes need to cease.

Needed to be said. Like he said when have our little Queens looking up to this shit.

It’s time we start policing ourselves. I like this so much I added it to the home-page of my website:

http://www.saywordradio.com/

man we were never freed from Slavery (at least not mentally )

the legacy of the civil rights movement and the Black Panthers struggle and the fight that generation put up for our rights is gone now replaced by Crips & Bloods, CIA funded drugs and crime in our communities

and uncle tom rappers and entertainers being used as “brainwashers”

if you ask me i found my new dude to bump for awhile while i wait for more Immortal Technique,Dead Prez,Paris,PE, because BLAXPLOITATION is getting worse and worse with these fake ass nuccas giving us a bad image and giving us wack music with a wack verse that they probably don’t even write or if they do they have to make sure it’s “politically correct” and suitable for a white audience who buys most of their records !

I think the idea of what the guy is saying is twofold. First, the lynching all of the people he mentions, he means most likely a death, a cessation in effect to the distribution of such poisonous, damaging images and ideas in a willful, boastful, sightless manner.
We surely don’t hold the rappers who talk about killing to the same standard of doing the killings they claimed. Secondly, If he did lynch those self-hating, money grubbing, minds-of-the-youth disregarding, demonic mentality employing chumps, nobody would miss the negative influences they have on our minds and psyches. Past that, if anyone is offended, then they should fry them up some chicken, get them some 40’s, get a hoodrat to hang around as the jumpoff, let off six shots every hour on the hour in the air (for pac, big, eazy, big pun, big L, jam master jay), and follow countless other empty pathways that waste their minds and lives. Don’t endear yourself to nonsense. Use your better sense always, and if it goes against something you thought you liked or loved, it’s probably no good for you.

Thats the truth and any of you who think its time to party on the blood of those who faught for us to succeed… you should be ashamed.

Im not ashamed of my people, I not going to put them in a stereotyped box and generalize them and turn my back on them because it looks good to some whitey. I understand some of them may be victims of mental slavery, however I chose to attempt to build them up as opposed to cast them aside. I will eat a bucket of chicken, drink koolaid and eat slices of melon on the White House steps and still dare you to challenge my intellect. Turn off the tv and radio and raise the babies, spread the knowledge and love or you can continue to promote this division and contempt toward your own kind and see how successful you are. GO TO THE PEOPLE WITH YOUR ROPE AND RACIAL SLURRS AND SEE WHAT YOU GET! KEEP ON LIVIN FOR THE WHITE MANS FAVOR AND WHEN YOUR HEART GETS BROKE, DONT LOOK TO US FOR ACCEPTANCE, WHEN YOU PASSED JUDGEMENT AT US @ FIRST!

He’s raising a great issue, but his delivery in no way shows respect to anything MLK or Malcolm X stood for. We can bring up the “N” word issue again and again. If we’re gonna point at what’s wrong we have to point at everything that wrong. There aren’t two words and two meanings! I used to argue the same point, “it’s a term of endearment!”, “we’ve taken a negative and turned it positive, and that way killed it’s old power!” That’s B.S. We use the same word when we’re talking about our boy and our enemy! Again he raises a point. Hip hop from the Funky Four + 1 to Rakim to Tribe to Nas to Eminem to Lupe (intentional short list) shows progress. 95% of Hip Hop now, that’s cutting away “R&B” (loose term) is below average to garbage. But this kid speaks on it with no lyrical genius, so kudos for speakin’ on it, ‘cause I sure didn’t, but it needs some self-reflection.

Of course he does not mean lynched literally, he is alluding to the seriousness of the problems cause by the constant bombardment of black youth by negative images of gansta rappers.

I am 42 years old. I listened to NWA. Even memorized the lyrics and trip my old azz friends out every now and again spitting something particularly foul.

But now it has been almost 15 years of a steady bombardment of the outrageous idea that it is ok to earn money by any means at all, shoot other brothers, spend more money on jewelry than school, that our black sisters don’t know anything other than makin their booty clap, etc. etc. etc.

Enough is enough. Somebody had to say it, “Hip Hop has been hijacked by Gansta Rap”

interesting … it was good except for the fact that his delivery was just like the people he criticized. also, i was feeling it till the homophobia kicked in. you cant supposedly be “progressive” and say it is wrong to call someone a nigger but it is okay to call someone a faggot. Oprah, Huey Newton and Bill Cosby (people he mentioned) would agree.

Now I’d say that this dude is a breath of fresh air but I just heard on Warriors FM, The WallBanger Experience, that this guy is being very very selective about who he lets interview him. I’d be shouting this on the mountain tops to everyone who’d listen. That’s just me. And let us not forget this guy was part of the UMCs (Blue Cheese) and very happy happy hip-hop.

I am very disappointed in YouTube’s hypocrisy. Separately, you can find most of those images on YouTube, even the girls clappin their a$$e$. If you search for “iPorn” you will find a spoof of iPod’s creative commercial with silohettes of people performing various sex acts. And that’s not even flagged.

Apart from all that, the guy is right. Most Rap is now one big orgy of thugs and gangsterism performed by homophobic and closeted money savvy, morally bankrupt ni993rs. I said it, ni993rs, not Black folk or African-American but straight up Coons. It’s time for real men and women to stand up and take it back.

I’m reading peoples comments and I can’t help to see that though some people agree with the message of the video they don’t wanna put down the “black folk” being targeted in the video.

I ask you “WHY NOT?!”

Lets first realize that though Race and Racism is a founding factor in Amerikkka it will always take the backburner to economic gain and CLASSISM! The people targeted in this video are money hungry Capitalists that will give anything for the almighty dollar! They do not see themselves as “black” or the man giving them the check as “white” all they see is “GREEN”!! They do not care about the majority of Blacks and other oppressed groups because if they did they would not make the music they do. They aren’t complete idiots because some how they made it to the position they are in and at least see the oppression but do nothing to stop it. They do not care so I have no pity on them.

They would stab you as a BLACK PERSON in the back just as fast as any KKK member for the money!! AND THAT IS REAL!!

The class is the real issue and they no longer belong to the proletariat if they ever did and if anyone has any idea of Marxism they will understand this…

This is a refreshing track with a clearly ghetto video. But I don’t find it racist. I only wonder why the guy doesn’t show himself in the vid. With some of the stuff Ive seen on that site I think it shoud be on their front page! The other day I was looking at some stuff on youtube and I came across clips from the movie Hood 2 Hood. The film makers go all over the States to the most dangerous neighbourhoods and interview gang members. I also looked up The Real Toronto which I haven’t had a chance to watch yet but Ive heard its like a Canadian rip off of your average Smack DVD. In H2H, Guys are sellin crack, shooting off guns and talkin madd shit to the camera like it fvcked their moms or something. I can’t say I was outraged; actually it’s like a guilty pleasure of mine to watch this and stuff like Smack. But signed rappers pulling out guns on Smack is the fakest trend since dressing like Fonzworth Bently. The funny part is, guys are having these tapes used against them and being sent to jail. However there is some merit to Hood 2 Hood. Like Incarserated Scarfaces, another video that can be found on youtube, the guys talk about their grimy experiences, fights, shootings, run ins with crooked cops etc. To me this is the real appeal of gangsta rap; stating the harsh reality of the world. The thing with a lot of stuff by Dem Franchise Boys and and a lot of those other artists mentioned in Nyoil’s track is that its fake. Sure 50, and The Game have been shot and all that but they start new beef it seems like every week, and then turn around and put out albums with tracks that are damn near R&B. The newer 50 stuff ive heard is crap and the new Lloyd Banks is real disapointing. Rakim is not featured on the album, his voice is sampled on the hook. Im sick of the shit I hear on BET, especially 106 & Park so this video is real relevant in todays scene. If you wanna see some good hiphop/ street documentaries look up some of Troy Reed’s stuff.

Man shit is real…I like it alot..

holla at me

http://www.teamgreenonline.biz

Is the real problem rappers or ho’s in videos? I’m only assuming that they learned it from somewhere too.
This song has a decent message on a very basic level. However, I am sure they could have tried to say it in an intelligent way, considering when a person uses that much profanity to make a point, the point becomes lost in the fact that their vocabulary is stopping them from making an understandable sentence.
If this group is trying to be so positive let’s try or rather let’s BE positive, because essentially all they have done is tried to start “beef” with the entire Hip-Hop/Rap industry. Using a cuss word every other word and saying “nigga” left and write negates the underlying positive message. You can deliver the same message intelligently it actually makes your point sound that much better.
(Again….I find the underlying message to be good I just find the way that it was said to take away from the overall message)

The only contradiction is he uses the N-word 500 times in what could have been a positive message! Bitches, hoes, N-word! HMMM? Still, i get the message, he just went about a tab bit wrong.

I think his lyrics hit home exactly where they need to hit. His style is hot and cats like him is what the rap game needs. Now, I wouldn’t exactly put those others on blast, seeing as they have many more fans/followers as him and his longeivity is at stake. I rap, cuss, all that, but I don’t promote killing nor do I rap about things I don’t do or have, but I am from the streets and I see and feel everything this cat said. I went to his myspace page and put a friend request in.

“It’s funny no one suggests talking and building with these brothers to get an understanding…”

In my experience, these brothers not only have no understanding, they do not want to.

The reality is that some of these dudes in Hip Hop act like a buncha cowards because when its time to speak on some real shit, they fake jacks. furthermore all that they are worried about is getting paid.

You ask me if I’ve tried talking to these brothers?

I knew one rapper when he was running around Atlanta wearing beads and musilim oil and everything was “Peace my Brother” I turn on my TV one day and He got a mouth full of Gold Teeth and he’s “Tha King Of Crunk.” Now what pisses me off about this dude is that I KNOW HE KNOWS BETTER. For tha sake of getting on though, he’s cooning. Why, to get paid of course. (I mean Big Sam and Lil Bo) come on now.

This song might be the song that at least sparks the conversation about a solution to the situation started. And it seems like some heads dont wanna acknowledge the real.

Instead of coming down on this brother, we should be asking ourselves why the current climate of Hip Hop led him to make a song that said what he is saying. Obviously it wasn’t about getting paid. I can assure you of that.

Let’s hear it

Regardless of whatever happens you guys are gonna find fault with what somebody does.. maybe he intended to bring a schock value to the topic.. I cant lie.. I dont even listen to the radio anymore.. Young Joc, Ying Yang and all that is some trash.. but then again they doing it for the money .. oxymoron huh? I think that they could come better with the lyrical content.. somebody needs to challenge the record labels..

Wait, how and why did this video get pulled? There are far worse videos on You Tube. There is a video of a white British girl in Black Face, there is a white guy talking about “black cock”, there are countless videos of white men and boys doing worse things than this video.

How did this video get pulled from You Tube when there are some very questionable pornographic material of teenage boys also on You Tube?

Lets, be real and call it like it is.

The imagery was made to provoke thought. In that regard I think a message of some value (artistic & political) was made. However, like someone pointed out earlier; dude is not that good of a rapper and the beat is wack. Before I start to intellectualize the music I listen to it first must be good music to my ear. This song does not sound good to my ear. So no matter how much I might feel or not feel the message I would not give this another spin. I do not want to hear this in my car or on the radio.

In reading the comments I heard a lot of the same ideas being reflected and echoed. Everyone who posted seemed to be on the same wavelength. That’s good. The next step is to actually go into the community and help out (if you are not already), and if you are, try to convince some more of your like minded commrads to lend a hand too. Rappers have a lot of power in that they have access to the mass media (radio, tv, movies, etc), but they do not actually touch the people on a day-to-day basis. They do not help the kids with their homework, they are not their to turn to when the kids have questions, but we all can fill that void. The only reason kids listen to this stuff is because they do not have a strong African orientation to the world. There is no one developing in them the seed of discontent. So they, like everyone else (no matter the color or caste), are simply apart of the mass consent which the powerstructure has created with their mass media apparatus.

Becareful who you are comming down on to. We need unity. Being divided, no matter the issue can be detriminal to our plight. I am not saying that there should not be tenion, because it is tension that produces change and change is what needed. However; be wary of profiteers and agents who wish to simply divide us so they can further exploit us.

Many of the women and men who we see on t.v. or hear on the radio are doing what they are doing because they do not know any better and they percieve there to be no other options. We all have our own personal stories and we cannot judge. Everyone did not have two parents, or the ability and aptitude to go to college, or was blessed to somehow be introduced to some kind of consciousness, or some kind of mixture of the three.

PEACE

Thank you to the illest one! You see exactly what I mean. I Also want to say that every artist is in it for the cash to a degree, so lets not be foolish.

look rap is not what it used to be anymore. it’s not about life and the struggle to survive. it’s not political. there’s no story. it’s all about hoes, and bling-bling, and money and a whole lot of B.S.! finally, someone comes around and tells the truth. there are so many problems facing the black community today and the some of the most influential people, rappers, aren’t doing anything about it. it’s not about the music anymore, everyone wants a lil’ jon or young joc sounding song so they can get paid. i mean have you recently heard the radio? i can’t even listen it. i mean with songs like “chicken noodle soup” and the dumbass “chain hang low” song. it’s ridculous. rap is no longer an esteemed form of music, it’s a joke. i mean, people today associate being “black” with talking loud, dressing with big chains, and speaking incorrectly. that’s not black culture, that doesn’t define us, yet in our music that’s how we have been defining ourselves for the last 10 years or so. men have no respect for our women, and we have no respect for ourselves. there’s no appreciation for the people who have paved the way for us, who have literally died for our freedom, and what do we do with it? we makes ridiculous songs with no meaning. we don’t look out for each other. look at katrina, the where were the rappers? where was their contribution? where was 50, where was lil’ john, where was young joc, where was 36 mafia? nowhere. the only person who said what black people wanted to say, and what white people and everyone else knew was the truth, but refused to admit to: they didn’t care b/c the victims were poor, BLACK, people. look at the tsunami that happened in Asia a couple of years ago, we, the US responded faster to that halfway across the world than we did to our own. they got more foreign aid, food, and support than people did in what is supposed to be the greatest superpower of the world! and, louisiana still needs help! I say, keep saying whatever he needs to say because he was on point.

The song is cool… His message is well taken… I see the point… But it was pulled off of youtube because its a chick with nut on her face, big booty dancers and a woman being raped. Its reality yes, but a violation of youtube terms…

ITS ABOUT TIME SUMBODY SAID SUMTHIN CUZ THA SHIT IS GETTIN OUTTA CONTROL! I AGREE 10000% WITH WHAT HE SAID.

HOW CAN YOU ASK IF ITS “ATTENTION SEEKING BEHAVIOUR” WHEN EVERYTHING HE TALKS ABOUT IS NOT MADE UP! ITS ALL REAL SHIT! BLACK PEOPLE, IF WE DONT TAKE OURSELVES SERIOUSLY, WHY SHOULD WE EXPECT ANYBODY ELSE TO TAKE US SERIOUSLY!?

AN THA LINE ABOUT DUDE COMING HOME FROM COLLEGE AND THA “HE AINT SHIT” MENTALITY, BUT WHEN A DUDE GET OUTTA JAIL “YALL ALL ON HIS DICK” MENTALITY—THAS REAL TALK RIGHT THERE!! TOO TRUE…

Wow!! I am suprised that someone said something. I am in college and I want to be noticed for what I have accomplished educationally not by other black people doing wrong and shaming our race. Black people seem to think that acting “gangster”, stealing, lying, rapping, and selling drugs is the thing to do and its not. Its not about acting “white”, its about acting as if you have some sense. I am so for this song, and Black people can learn something from this. People have died for all of us to have freedsoms, and its like we are making a mockery of it.

Scathing…..This dude ripped the sambo clowns who have been wrecking hip-hop for quite some time with their poverty pimpin. but this isn’t the first time a song like this has been done. Its actually been done better..but I think the power in this one is he uses shock tactics through his imagery and words to send a pretty crazy message, even if it is laced with his own contradictions( constant n-word dropping no less) he attacks these rappers the same way they disgrace themselves and the hip-hop culture. in your face, unapologetic and lets be honest here…dude is right. This video needs wider distibution and more people to need to at least hear what he has said. I’ll start spreading this link everywhere I can right now…

I agree with this message 99.9%
But I also feel that these white folks need to be held accountable for what is happening. In other words these record labels that only allow ignorance to come forth and no positivity to be seen no real voices to be seen. And you are telling me this video is too graphic ??
They can play all that ass on BET videos late at night but this can’t even stay on youtube ??
We can’t just crucify our own youth…because that is who is in hiphop’s forefront is the youth
So we can’t kill our youth because they aren’t doing right, we need to see if there’s some foul play first. AND IT IS ! The white estabishment is ruining the black name. I can’t even go outside without everyone looking at me as if I’m a clown and I don’t have tatoos or any stereotypical new wave representation. just black skin and I get treated like a chump out there all because how the media is pertraying our balck men. But if you notice it’s all our youth that they put in front of the camera to act a fool. I can go on and on with this. But we need to take back our culture and our lives from this evil unseen hand that is pupeteering this madness on the sneak tip.
So fuck all yall who is fucking with my culture’s well being

I think that he is making a lot of good points but the whole they all should all be lynched is too much. But I agree with him on many points, women shouldn’t be known for just booty shaking and sex. And men shouldn’t be disrespecting us calling us hoes and b*tches all the time and talking about killing each other over dumb stuff.

I agree 100% with what the man said. YouTube will allow videos of people doing jack ass like stunts, thousands of ass & titty shaking videos, “fry that chicken” videos, stuff from BET Uncut, but not a video aimed at calling out destructive behavior amongst blacks and sell out artists….

so does anybody know the song he sampled in the chorus?

Hey,truth is truth, and I agree with this cat that these “ignorant and irrelievant rappers” should be called out

If YouTube had not pulled the video, I wonder if Robbie would have posted it here? If not, I would have never heard this song. Also, it would not have sparked this discussion. I feel fortunate to have grown up with rap (as we called back in the day) as rap grew up. When I was in high school, rap was mostly positive. Groups like N.W.A did not come out until I was a junior in high school. My point being, I was mature enough to handle the change in the music. I could not imagine being in 6th or 7th grade and listening to the Chronic. Anyway…Peace to 88…suckers

FEELING THE TRACK + VIDEO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

whats wrong wit africans calling yall niggas
i mean you call your own selves niggas

Nice. I’ve been dragging my feet to do some shyt like that. Lets get it on 106 and Park. LOL

This video/song just inspired me to resurrect my rap game.

I really want to thank this guy for finally speaking on what’s real. I have seen far more flagrant material on the web and on television before. I think the image of the woman being mishandled was to show just how low some of us are willing to go. Shock treatment? You bet it is. But this is what is necessary for people to WAKE UP and realize what’s really going. Some people are critisizing the use of negative pictures and images in the likeness of the degradation of the black peoples of this earth. In truth, all you saw was an artist sketch of what the people he is referring to do EVERYDAY. The only difference is one is animated, and the other is in real life. No doubt, he definetly spoke in a language that the crowd that needs to hear this can understand.

I also believe that anything that can trigger the mindset of the African American to change will always be banned in AmeriKKKA. Do you honestly think they want things to be different? Think about it. This video was banned for more reasons than one. I say we spam the h3ll out of it so that it makes its way all over the world through the internet. Get everybody to talk about it… Then sit back and see what starts to happen.

This ni**a is IGNORANT. You should shut the hell up. Just craving some attention.

good look

REALTALK…those of us trying to MAKE A POSITIVE CHANGE and go to school or even just working trying to MAKE A POSITIVE CHANGE have talked about how IGNORANT and PATHETIC and RIDICULOUS music has become.
WE FINALLY HAVE A LOUDSPEAKER And this is the message we want to relay to the youth and non african-american races? Its a DAMN SHAME!!

Bill Cosby was right, this song is right and people need to WAKE UP

I am not old, I am 28 and I can’t understand A FLAMING THING these younger cats are saying. I am a middle manager and I CANNOT HIRE them either b/c they lack the BASIC SKILLS to even be trained.

Music is WHACK, I don’t play the radio, I don’t play the T.V, I just listen to old hip-hop.

I am not saying there isn’t a time for a booty shake or ENTERTAINMENT song.We all had them, for parties. PARTIES SHOULD NOT DICTATE YOUR LIFE AND NOR SHOULD PARTY MUSIC DICTATE HIP HOP

My Goodness….I was left speechless. I haven’t heard anything..and I mean ANYTHING that raw, and filled with that much truth in hip hop before. And that’s real.

Yo, this dude did a really good job at sitting on his high horse for five minutes. I hope no one thinks this is of Boondocks caliber, because he’s trying way too hard to condem them as opposed to actually call them out. I don’t like these cats either, but i feel that this guy has a mightier-than-thou attitude about it. We’re all screwed up wether we realize it or not. I would in no way say i am a better person than the dudes in Dem Franchise Boys, though i feel they have fell into a trap that we all have. I feel that we as a black people are holding money and material possesions above all else as symbol for succes instead of knowledge and power.

I say that we all have fallen into that because, in the end, this could very well be a gimmick. This guy could, in fact, be taking this angle because he knew a bunch of people who really did feel this way, but maybe in a more sensible way than simply lynching our own kind, would talk about this all over the internet. This guy hasn’t said, don’t, or rapped anything else about this and this song video has been out for a GOOD minute. Think about that random Myspace Music rapper. They post new shit ALL the time. Especially people on YouTube.

All i’m saying is, please, don’t believe the hype.

It’s ok to get mad, infact we need to get angry, but we have to realize our own anger. This guy is just giving us this artificial flavored anger by saying what we already know and just taking it too far, instead of actually acting or taking what we know and coming up with something we can do to help our people and not hurt our people.

Stay Black.

Where is my black glove…bout damn time someone said somethin. the irony of it all is if the rappers he dissed try to retaliate there gonna talk about the things he said were wack, which will only prove his point further, and if they dont say anything- then once again it proves his point because they wont stand up. A very smart thing to do because either way he wins.

And another thing the video isnt ignorant because 80% of people who buy rap arent even black so what kind of message and stereotype does that send to non black people and to the youth? IGNORANCE because they think thats the only thing black people do, and young black people with weak minds think its the only way to get money. People fail to realize that we have a 16 year old millionare thats black…hold on some of u didnt catch that 16 years old- he didnt sale drugs, talk about coke, or any of that bullshit. So wheres his publicity at on BET?....o he doesnt have any. All i have to say is read/ listen to Malcom X’s Message to the Grassroots, and some of u will see that you are some house niggas…so whos ready to join the field?

Where have u been all this time…God Bless u…. Wish we culd talk some…. Holla

nyoil, your damn right!

yo, listen up, im 32 years old now and im a basel-city/switzerland representa.i look back over 22 years of hip hop activism. that time i found a world wide culture of luv,peace,respect and mutch more!i was b-boying at first and that shit gave me a lot of props where ever i was up-rockin on diffrent floors all over switzland,germany and france etc.... after 15 years of breakin i stept on the mic. now a days im puttin words togetter for the same thing like i use to break for.
yo man im feelin you, its about time for a chance, for a revelution and a movement of rebelions got damn it!

i hope your track will be cross the entire globe, and i hope that some of them mothafoking mayor-labels out there are clever enuff to bring real hip-hop (not just RAP) back on the map!

big up yo! go 4 u and yourz!

one luv red gee/tnn

Thanks for your information, this is the first that I ever heard of this. Hopefully our men will get a hot cup of JOE in their face and focuse their energy where it really matters (their seed/future). Peace Cat Wallace

I really don’t like Hip Hop solely because of what they say and the way they act. It is so true that we black people have gone through so much crap to keep undermining ourselves and killing each other for nothing. So basically Martin Luther King and Malcom X, Rosa Parks etc did all that so we could through back! But Nyoil hit the nail on the head! I don’t know why they took it off air because cos there are some youts that need to be watching and listening to this because they are acting so stupid! keep up the good work!

Quit living in the past. Quit calling each other nigger CONSTANTLY. Living in the past helps no one.
and dwelling on the negative is the least fortunate mindset you can have,
Move on.
Yes Racism is real and always will be. BUT only you can change that by acting like a normal human being, Quit talkin gangsta and killing yourselves.
All I hear in the hood is nigger this and nigger that. pop a cap in his ass.
Just fucking STOP.
Get some respect. the real way.
Or continue on the path your on and fucking DIE!
I could care less. Spinners. 22’s fat cars fat cash. Keep dealin that Crack. and Collecting that wellfare check.
The white man is the Minority now.
open your eyes.

Thats foul

These are my exact sentiments that i been repeating for the last 10 years and that’s my word.

For alot of people who claim to be about “real hip-hop” and not falling for ploys and schemes and yes, GIMMICKS to get attention- I wouldn’t have thought some of y’all would be so easily suckered by this song and “video”.

And trust me, Youtube did not pull this shit off the site because it speaks out against shit in hip-hop and disses popular rappers- there’s probly thousands of other videos on there that do the same. But I bet they don’t have a girl with nut on her face in the video.

If you get it, and are not part of this generation of Hip-Hop hes speaking of,than your comments are heard.Much respect for the straight up ill sound of out spoken lyricism that was so prodominate in the 90’s..Are we not all trying to be heard?Is that not the point?Attention is what the battle hungry M.C. requires for fuel

How about taking the lyrics of the 1864 democratic campaign song entitled “Nigger Doodle Dandy” and singing it?

Remember context.
Is it an ode or insult?

http://www.myspace.com/lexiconvictory

real hiphop needs to get back on track and it seems as if you don’t get results unless you’re being controversial in this country…

This video is strong…It’s real….And it’s about time someone called out those piss yellow hair wearing black women for destroying what black men started.

Yes, I blame black women for this problem.

GANGSTER RAPPERS ARE SIMPLY FROM FEMALE HEADED HOMES. HISTORY PROVES THIS

BLACK SINGLE MOMS IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY…AND THIS IS WHY SO MANY THUG RAPPERS ARE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT TO RAP ABOUT….IT’S BECAUSE THEIR MOTHER DID NOT TEACH THEM RACIAL PRIDE.

THE PREACH THUG LIFE BECAUSE THAT’S THE ONLY ASPECT OF MANHOOD THEY KNOW. THEY DON’T SEE STRONG BLACK MEN IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS,THE BLACK CHURCH, THE BLACK COMMUNITY ETC.

DO A SURVEY OF THE NUMBER OF RAPPERS WHO HAD A FATHER WHEN THEY GREW UP…

TUPAC…HAD NO DAD.
BIGGIE SMALLS….HAD NO DAD.
AND MANY OTHER ANGRY RAPPER MAMA’S BOYS.

SO, ITS TIME FOR THE MEN’S MOVEMENT TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

GO TO BLACKTOWN.NET TO LEARN MORE IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT FIXING THIS PROBLEM.

IT’S NATION TIME…NO COWARDS ALLOWED

I agreed with this song, but for hip hop. I’m white, and I know I’m not black, in no way a “whigger” and I’ve loved hip hop since I was a child. I respect this dude for his whole message. Every race has that stereotypical shit they have to deal with, but black people have it worse; everytime you turn on the tv, turn on the radio, etc. Plus, hip hop is such a beautiful thing, I hate to see it get confused with the rappers we just saw. And it isn’t a gimmick, like Big L said, “Controversy not commercialism”

Seems like someone is trying another ‘Sunami Song’ on folks.

As a member of the Largest Voodoo Militaristic Secret Society said before the removal of the French and other oppressors from Haiti.

‘There is always an invisible hand behind every evil action.’

Sounds like people will say or do anything for 40 pieces of silver.

Shame.

Negroes are still not going to behave the way that some people behave when their religious symbols are insulted—- BUT DON’T COUNT ON THAT PASSIVITY FOR TOO LONG.

Here is a rap song that was number one in Europe for many weeks, IT IS ALSO IN THE BOOK, “Rap, Rhyme and Rhythem:Rapsody in Hip-Hop, Rhythm and Rhyme,” http://www.AuthorHouse.com

The name of the song (also a poem) is

“Lords of Radio”

Rap and hip-hop is being turned into a weapon against the Chosen Soul People of the Sun.

Again, its time TO STOP USING RAP AND HIP-HOP AS S TOOL OF DESTRUCTION AND USE IT AS AN INSTRUMENT OF SELF-DEVELOPMENT.

WOW. Real is Real. The things in this video are REAL and we as a people need to face them head on. Thank you to the brothers that put this together.

I think that it is very funny how some black folk can accept lower standards for each other and themselves even though the physical yoke has been removed. We listen to on an hourly basis blackmen rhyming about flipping bricks and tricking chicks. Who do you think they are selling drugs to? Who do you think they are fucking over? Certainly not anyone other than fellow black people. We like to play crazy when the cameras on but we have never been stupid. Stop supporting these fools if they do not represent you and what you are about. Use your dollar to fund your liberation. To truly be gangster free your people don’t continue to oppress them and yourselves because that’s what slavery was about!

All cultures do some nasty porn but some have evolved it into more of an art form
All cultures have music that portrays the poor, ignorant experience, but its pushed to the wayside
All races have gone through a period of subjugation where they had to call others master -and have gotten over it.
What makes the AfroAm experience so different, so special?
African American culture being only a couple hundred years young still exhibits infantile behavior, like with other cultures it will take hundreds if not thousands more years for it to get out of its dark ages if not pressured to change by outside forces…..

i love the concept and the choice of images. i am happy somebody actually called out all of these so-called-rappers a nd so-called-females. its a shame that hip hop has become what it is and that we endorse their immature and negative behavior.

the easiest way to maan a name for yourself it to discredit others so i said its a lil of both alot of people arent teaching who sumbo was the lil cartoon black dude so if more meaning was put behind strong words and leadership maybe more people would care but another rapper saying fight the sterotype isnt really going to help much (maybe im a sterotype becuz i dont speak proper english and im not in college and i listen to Rap but im a regular black dude that think i shouldn’t be lynched )

What a video! Like a lot have expressed, there was a lot that needed to be said that was said. However using all the self-hating slave language and the barbaric lynching is unnecessary. you don’t use the tactics of your enemy.

We must also point out that there is so much kurrent koncious hiphop out there right now. New krs, two new p.e. albums, lord jamar (brand nubian), M-1, Dead Prez and outlaws, new roots, new coup – we can go on & on. Just a couple of things on this. These koncious artist must stall on the unnecessary use of self-hating slave language. Let’s continue to talk about and expose those who sell us out. Not just the ignorant artist. For instance, someone earlier mentioned jim jones glorifying slanging crack – why is min ben muhammed down with dipset and the garbage they promote? – the Congressional Black Caucus honoring b.e.t. prez Debra lee at their 2005 event – Ebony magazine running five page features on the virtues of cognac, making the french rich, while promote death & destruction on afrikans – russell simmons and bob johnson, sell out who have enough blood loot, but continue to push destruction on the masses – and finally those puppet masters who come to us via the likes of jimmy iovine, lyer cohen, rick ruben, edgar brofman jr, sumner redstone, etc.

We must organize and roll up on these garbage radio stations and video conglomerates and demand that they cease their genocidial practices.

The fact that this video has sparked so much conversation, let’s us know that the masses are fed up. Now we must organize and stop the madness.

Rick Rubin = Puppet Master? You might want to get an update on what he’s been up to in recent years:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rubin

real shit! this is genius. i really like and appreciate this video

nice track,the nigga is just trying 2say his heart out ain”t nothing wrong with that.

I agree with this video, this message, the everything but…........

YOU ARE STILL SAYING NIGGA!

“Yall nigga steady on the radio…”

“niggas frontin on the video…”

“I see yall niggas runnin from sumthin…”

“bitch ass nigga”

Its a contridiction and its unjustifiable.

Even steve doesnt know where hes at about “nice track,the NIGGA is just trying 2say his heart out ain’t nothing wrong with that”

For a start get that N word out your heart, im a pro black, black woman its not in my black heart and i never use so take it out yours.

He needs to get that Krs-One photo out of there, good concept though!

Pro black woman you are so on point. There is no excuse or justification for using this term like our rap stars do. Even the so-called koncious artist use this term like they have lost their minds. We must stop this. It promotes self-hate and that is the major problem of afrikans in the u.s. and around the globe.

tutaonana!

Somebody needs to call out these sorry, disrespectful rappers and entertainers on their bull shit. It’s sad b/c people just don’t realize how programmed and brainwashed their becoming because of it. Lastly, I think youtube should be ashamed of pulling this video because with all of the controvercial, disrespectful smut they have on youtube, your video actually has a purpose and calls out vulgar, perverted smut that America can’t get enough of.

For all the people here in the States, PBS is currently airing the civil rights documentary “Eyes on the Prize” on the show Frontline. It should be required viewing, it really puts all this in perspective.

Unfortunately, this song comes of as the ultimate hypocrisy. He criticizes rappers for beefing with each other and promoting violence, then says they should get lynched in the same breath.

This could’ve been a powerful message, if the writer hadn’t stooped to the level of promoting violence.

STILL SPREAD’N THE MESSAGE…..1 NIEEMA

This is more sad than anything. I can’t say that telling people they aint shit is gonna unify us. But it is a drastic approach. Times comeing when we might need that.

good concept and i agree but he still uses the n-word…so what does that make him?

didnt read through the other comments but pro black woman already made my point

Every person that left negative comments on this brothers efforts are the one’s that support tha bullshit.Google and You tube have videos on there that makes this look and sound pg-13.The beast alwayz gone seperate us they use the music 2day because it is 1 of the weapons of mass destruction on the African-american community.Good Lookz NY-OIL’ We sit and say the same thing everyday.Glad it’s being expressed 2 the masses.Peace God(Row)

“In the end result every generation must be responsible for itself” – Paul Robeson

This young gentleman has certainly struck a cord in those who agree with him or not. What’s important is that he’s created a vehicle to bring real discussion to the table. I personally, believe in positive rather than negative – meaning educate rather than hate but that’s me.

We can not assume that all have intellect simply because they have influence. This brotha obviously has both—may work better if used in a positive vain.

On the banned from You Tube side – the word lynch is sensitive for anyone who can not speak about it. Including HUGE multimillion $$ corporations like Google. Legally, they probably had no choice. Especially because it wan’t presented to a culturally sensitive and/or homogenous group (if that exsists). You have opinions from all around the world. Too much of a liability.

Overall, I applaud this man from bringing up very many true points and for being passionate about them. His positioning in delivery may not yield the positive result that we would hope to have from having the conversation however – to each is own.

Different strokes for different folks. I felt him though and i thank him for stepping out there.

I see why it got pulled, but I also understand the message. These rap cats ain’t doing nothing but feeding our youth and society a image that is useless and worthless. Our children are growing up believing that the lives that they portray is the way to be, and we all know that this is not so. They’re fronting like this artist is saying, but I feel that his message is not taking well because of the way that he’s bringing it. The content is goods, but the words are still displaying the same negative attitude and image of the cats that he’s talking about. Even though it’s the truth, there’s a certain way that this type of message has to be packaged for it to be effective as it should. Negativity is never the answer,and without GOD, WE, as a people will never understand how to reach and present the Truth, which is of GOD to the world so that lives and people can change. I’m a Christian, a rap artist, and a minister, therefore, I understand that even though we are human, we are Spiritual Beings, and the spirit of a thing has to be addressed, and cannot be addressed out of the flesh. That’s why this song and video is catching backlash. Not because of the message, but the content within the message, and because it is all flesh. The cursing and everything does
