    Lol come on guys you act like you've never seen people troll these forums before.

    Just ignore him.

    This song is fucking raw.
    "My mind is the place where I make my plans. The world is the place where I take my stand.
    The beauty of life is mine today, They cannot take my mind away"

    Immortal Teq is a little too preachy for me.

  10. Lupe Fiasco and Brother Ali are the most intelligent rappers that come to mind. Lupe's new album, "Lasers," came out in march this year. He didn't get to release everything he wanted as the record label wanted a more radio acceptable album. Didn't stop him from getting the good word out though..

    There's something happening here
    What it is ain't exactly clear
    There's a man with a gun over there
    Telling me I got to beware
    I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    There's battle lines being drawn
    Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
    Young people speaking their minds
    Getting so much resistance from behind
    I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    What a field-day for the heat
    A thousand people in the street
    Singing songs and carrying signs
    Mostly say, hooray for our side
    It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    Paranoia strikes deep
    Into your life it will creep
    It starts when you're always afraid
    You step out of line, the man come and take you away
    We better stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    Stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    Stop, now, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    Stop, children, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down

    ^He might be to much for you guys, I'm sure Maxrule would love his discography though.:D

    "Its a holy war in the age of computers":smoke:
     
  13. He got fucked by his label and his first 2 albums were 100x better I think. I bought both but didn't buy lasers. Hopefully he can do what he wants with his next one.

    Somebody spammed my youtube account with his music. This is one of his songs.... I like it.

    This music isn't something I would listen to on a daily basis just because it's not my style...But I dig his message, or at least the freedom part..

  17. I've posted this song several times, one of my all time favortie...
    [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd0ah4ySrrI]YouTube - ‪Choking Victim - Born To Die‬‏[/ame]
    Born to die and you get to sit and watch yer t.v. set
    believe the lies before yer eyes credit cards & apple pies
    50 stars to blind yer eyes 13 stripes to hypnotize
    free thought is gone you'll never see yer just a pawn
    you'll die tomorrow but today yer empty dreams just fade away
    evaporate, dissolve to hate while you survive and wait
    until a lifeless fate yer stupid lives just piddle on
    you slave fer others and then your gone i just can't escape the lying
    the moment we are born we're dying and it's such an ugly sight

    we have no rights
    we have no future
    no reasons why
    we're born to die

    yer dumb self can't appreciate the freedom in my thoughts
    the weak sense of autonomy when i'm drinking in my squat
    that empty void was never filled but the dreams of others
    you helped kill you'll justify, will linger on
    don't ya know that dreams all die the day your born

    we have no god's
    there's only ignorant bliss
    no reasons why
    we're born to die

    (repeat chorus x1)

    gone to bed, god is dead
    lies & truth are in my head
    your history, society, economy
    it isn't me, it's all on you
    reality, it's what ya do
    it's what ya take the truth in lies
    the freedom dies, the mind it numbs, the spirit breaks
    all our rights, it kills our future
    our reasons why
    we're born to die
    we're born to die

    edit* nasajoe does not necessarily agree with 100% of lyrics in all songs, specially the 2nd verse of this song.. but there are plenty of stupid people who the 2nd verse would apply and thats the moral of the story..
