Zack de la Rocha and Ernesto Yerena Make a Print with a Purpose

[trinipride100]

It's just that the issue of SB1070 means so much to so many people, that perhaps 'the human body is art' stuff would be better suited to other videos. No one's saying anyone's politically apathetic or unaware, but just that mabye, in this context and on this video, such comments (to people with loved ones suffering under this humiliating ordeal) are a little inappropriate, that's all. People are just saying there's a time and a place for certain comments. Peace.

[Xxmb050xX]

impressive! still fighting for whats right... what an amazing person

[8182570]

Zack De La Rocha is the truth! He hasn't aged a bit has he ;) Still looks the same, still fighting for justice. It was a pleasure seeing Rage rock at LA Rising. Hope it wasn't their last show. He seems like a real down to earth guy here. Thanks for sharing.

[TruthAddic]

interesting how some here put down women for making comments about Zack's looks. What then about other comments, like those who complement the music, or the artist's prints. Why is it inappropriate to express one's appreciation for the human body? Isn't the human body just a realistic form of art? Just because someone appreciates the man's appearance doesn't make them politically apathetic or unaware. 

[TheIllmaticGangsta]

love the RZA song in the background

[TheKazualty]

That over spray has got to go...

[Razz000]

i don't bother even saying shit like this anymore but fuck it modern music has got to get their shit together

[Alvez323]

gotta love Zack de la Rocha, yo but whats the name of the beat at the beginning of the video.

[trinipride100]

@jackinnedo

I'm Trinidaddian but perhaps I dont LOOK Trinidaddian because I don't walk around playing a steel pan while smoking massive blunt. Actually yeah I do, but you get my point!

[trinipride100]

Zack de la Rocha makes the most intelligent music in the mainstream. Yet I read comments like "he's fucking hot" or "he doesn't look Mexican" and I wonder do you people actually listen to it???

[MrBenjiok]

@trinipride100 Im a girl too and it gets me mad when other girls make those kind of comments when he is talking about serious politics, there is a time and place for that and this isn't it.

Lol BTW you are Awsome.

[MrBenjiok]

@trinipride100 You speak the truth. More "fans" need to hear what is being said and not just respond with "oooh isn't Zack hotttt"! Save that for Boyzone or some other damm boy band.

[jackineedo]

He doesn't even look mexican to me haha but who cares what race he is, he is effing awesome!

[valentina2111]

love the Funkadelic song in the background

[Thejadestorm2012]

Where can i get a Zack De la Rocha t-shirt???

Bob mARLEY WHO???? africa ain't my rope to swing on!!

LONG LIVE ZACK DE LA ROCHA!

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SUN!

[Griffin2529]

zack is such a liar, and you people just eat it up...people who want legal immigration are not racist....California’s jails are full of criminals of Mexican decent, who victimize their own kind…as well as victimizing people of the country they choose to live in. zack doesn’t even understand that Mexican is not a race...its a culture and an ethnicity....there only 3 races on the planet....Mongolian (Asian), Negroid (Black), and Caucasian (White). La raza gets this wrong too.

[HOUSTONBG10]

@Griffin2529 WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT I'VE NEVER EVER HEARD ZACK SAY ANYTHING ABOUT MEXICAN BEING A "RACE"?! AND BESIDES THAT POINT WHAY ARE YOU TRYING TO FAULT ZACK FOR ANYTHING IF HE ACTUALLY BELIEVES IN WHAT HE THINKS, SAYS, WRITES, AND SCREAMS IN HIS LYRICS. HE IS THE MOST PASSIONATE VOCALIST I'VE EVER SEEN ABOUT INHUMANE PRACTICES, SOCIAL INJUSTICE, POVERTY, AND RACISM. HIS MUSIC IS MEANT TO WAKE PEOPLE UP OF THE INJUST THINGS THAT HAPPEN NOT JUST IN THE U.S. BUT AROUND THE WORLD!!!

[HOUSTONBG10]

@Griffin2529 AND BTW WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU OR ANY OF US TO JUDGE WHAT IS CONSIDERED ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION??! ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO DEFEND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO MAKE RACIAL PROFILING THE STANDARD? DO YOU EVEN HAVE A CLUE HOW THE U.S. GOT STARTED QUICK HISTORY LESSON EUROPEANS ("WHITE" OR AS YOU SAY CAUCASOID) CAME OVER HERE AND BASICALLY BRUTALLY TOOK THE LAND FROM THE NATIVE AMERICANS (INDIGENOUS PEOPLE WHO CROSSED THE BERING STRAIT LONG AGO, WHICH WERE BASICALLY ASIANS OR MONGOLOIDS)..

[HOUSTONBG10]

@Griffin2529 AND THEN THE EUROPEANS WENT AROUND TRYING TO NOT ONLY TAKE CONTROL AND SEIZE THEIR LAND BUT ALSO PUSH THEIR WAYS ON THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE WHO THEY FOUND TO BE "DEMONIC RED SAVAGES" BECAUSE THEY NOT ONLY LOOKED DIFFERENT BUT ACTED, SOUNDED, DRESSED, AND LIVED DIFFERENT! AND BECAUSE OF THIS THEY DEMONIZED THEM, KILLED THEM, AND TOOK THEIR LAND AND PUSHED THE REMAINING SURVIVORS ON "RESERVES" THEN TO TOP THIS ALL OFF THEY BROUGHT OVER DARKER SKINNED PEOPLE (NEGROIDS)..

[HOUSTONBG10]

@Griffin2529 AND MADE THEM SLAVES! ALL OF THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE SMARTER BUT BECAUSE THEY WERE GREEDY AND CONNIVING FUCKING ASSHOLES THAT COULDN'T STAND NOT BEING IN CONTROL AND IN POWER OF ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING! ALL BECAUSE THEY HAD GREATER WEAPONS AT THE TIME BETTER TECHNOLOGY AND CHOSE NOT ONLY TO KEEP IT TO THEMSELVES BUT ALSO TO USE IT AS A BRUTAL FORCE INSTEAD OF SHARING THEIR KNOWLEDGE THEY SPREAD THEIR HATE!

[HOUSTONBG10]

@Griffin2529 IF THEY REALLY WERE HELPFUL, CARING, INNOCENT, CURIOUS "DISCOVERERS" WHY DIDN'T THEY TRY LETTING THEIR CULTURE BE INSTEAD OF TRYING TO ASSIMILATE THEM?! OHH AND THE SPANISH THEY WERE NOT INNOCENT OF ANYTHING AT ALL THOSE PPL RACIST AMERICANS OFTEN REFER TO AS MEXICANS, "WETBACKS", "ILLEGAL ALIENS, SPICS, BEANERS ARE MOSTLY A MIXTURE OF TWO OF THE SO-CALLED RACES MONGOLOID AND CAUCASOID! MOST OF LATIN AMERICANS ARE BUT THE FUNNY THING IS THAT AMERICA TRIES TO NOT CONSIDER THEM WHITE

[HOUSTONBG10]

@Griffin2529 SINCE THEY ARE MIXED WITH INDIGENOUS BLOOD EITHER BY A LITTLE OR A LOT BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO MAKE THE DISTINCTION SO BLATANTLY OBVIOUS BECAUSE THEN EVERYONE WILL KNOW HOW RACIST AMERICA STILL IS! YOU THINK I'M LYING LOOK UP ANY APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT, GOVERNMENT, OR SCHOOL AND SEE WHAT IT SAYS UNDER WHITE AND BLACK (NOT OF HISPANIC ORIGIN)! AND THOSE STUPID PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THAT MADE UP ALL OF THE RACES ARE DISCREDITED JUST BY THE SIMPLE FACT THEY MADE

[HOUSTONBG10]

@Griffin2529 AND ENCOURAGED THE MOST DISCRIMINATING GENERALIZATION OF ALL-TIME; IT'S CALLED THE "ONE-DROP RULE" WHICH BASICALLY STATES THAT IF YOU'RE MIXED WITH BLACK EVEN JUST A LITTLE YOU SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BLACK HOW RACIST AND DISCRIMINATING IS THAT? TO SAY ONE DROP OF "NEGROID" BLOOD BASICALLY TAINTS OR "POISONS" THE WHOLE "BLOODLINE" BEFORE THEN!

[HOUSTONBG10]

@Griffin2529 FUNNY THING WHEN THE EUROPEANS CAME OVER THEY WERE CONSIDERED "SETTLERS" (THINK I'M LYING LOOK IT UP) INSTEAD OF IMMIGRANTS! THEY ARE THE TRUE “ILLEGAL ALIENS” ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS OR WHATEVER OTHER DEMEANING, DEGRADING OR DEHUMANIZING TERM THEY WANT TO USE! I DARE U TO GO TO ANY TRUE RAGE FAN AND TALK STUPID LIKE THAT AGAIN I WOULD DO MY RESEARCH BEFORE I OPEN MY MOUTH IF I WERE U! IF U DARE COME TO LA RISING ON JULY 30TH LET ME KNO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS, LONG LIVE RAGE!!!

[Griffin2529]

Hey zack, Obama is in charge of the Homeland Security Dept...and he approves of the actions taken in Arizona...I guess he's a "Racist" too.

[trinipride100]

Oh and I’m a girl and yes this brother is nice, but he’s telling us about Arpaio’s abhorrent attack on human life. I can’t believe this apparently doesn’t mean more to us than him taking his shirt off. C’mon ladies we can write better comments! Save the pinup crap for every other damn rap and rock star on the planet who craves it, this is ZDLR for fuck’s sake. Jeeze Louise!

[trinipride100]

Great stuff Ernesto Yerena, big up AltoArizona movement and one love to all you decent and hardworking Latinos y Latinas who are imprisoned in tents in the desert heat, humiliated and also separated from your children. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is inhumane and SB1070 is immoral. In Trinidad we say “I wish him soul woulda ketch a fire”. It means see the light and fix your ways. Either that or somebody wanna do a Bob Marley and shoot that damn fool man sheriff.

[Jessenho]

zack rocking los tigres del norte shirt... hahaha.... my dude!

[aaronamccoy]

i always thought they kept him locked up in a 10 foot cage..maggot brain

[g13138]

Zack is awsome

[MrThisotherguy]

if zack was in MY house... heh... LETS JAM!!!

[4horsemenride]

Zack is the coolest man alive. Him and Tom Waits have balls bigger than my head, and I got a pretty large head.

[sturge1]

fuck yeah rza finishing off this video was awsome maybe rza and zack should colaberate together wow that wwould be something special nice prints aswelll!!!!

[MacungieSun]

@sturge1 Actually, that's MF DOOM's "Sarsaparilla" but RZA used the same sample, which is "Message From A Black Man" by The Whatnauts.

[AmoebaLandsCraft]

that guy looks totally baked haha. just looking at zack, nodding his head and thinking 'dude, im so high, what the fuck is this guy saying to me?' haha.

[monguito]

shit joder los tigres del norte rules perros zack es la ostia

[coyalino]

Wau on 3:00 u can see Zack-tattoo:)))

[punkistaron]

man, i can hang out with zach all day

[deviaor]

romanian flag on his arm? Why??

[tothemountains]

@deviaor That's just probably a Romanian military jacket from a surplus store. Wearing German military jackets is very popular, so maybe he's just being different by buying Romanian?

[AnnoyingBeast]

irish solidarity to the mexican people, hold on to your culture, to your values and your ways, some wicked prints. can you get them anywhere?

[189Maria]

Zack is the best most intelligent vocalist ever!!!And.....Zack without a shirt......works for me......:)

[chrispollock]

hah look at zack playing revolutionary. dude needs to read a book on all those lives destroyed by communist revolution and get his head out of the sky

[rhcp2320]

@chrispollock and those communist revolutions are the same revolutions that saved lives from imperialistic, u.s. backed authoritarian regimes. maybe it is you that needs to read a book

[chrispollock]

@rhcp2320 no i don't need to read anything. i've read plenty. us backed regimes were evil. so is communism. how about you read about the cuban shopkeepers and the ukranian independent farmers and cambodian intellectuals that all experienced communism first hand. then get back to me.

[rhcp2320]

@chrispollock communism has had its fair share of evil when communist leaders turn less and less democratic. but, the same can be said of other ideologies. including those in the united states. and im glad youre not like the rest of the of people who bash on communism but cant accept the fact that the united states has done evil things too

[chrispollock]

@rhcp2320 well no, democratic movements do not have the authoritarian nature that is within marxist movements. mikhail bakunin knew this back in the 19th century when he used to criticize marx. so not all movements have that potential for destructiveness and evil. communism, fascism, theocracy, are unique in being products of desperate, dumb people.

[rhcp2320]

@chrispollock well, thats debatable. desperate, maybe. dumb, not at all. im speaking about marxist/leninist ideologies, btw.

[chrispollock]

@rhcp2320 communism believes that absolute power doesn't corrupt absolutely, which is pretty much a proven fact. they want a strong leader to socially engineer them, control them, into a new hive type society where no one acts without permission from everyone else. if that isn't slavery, i don't know what is. it's like being a child in your parents house forever, without your own money to move out and be on your own! haha crazy communists

[rhcp2320]

@chrispollock alright, but dont you think that 3rd world countries, for example in latin america, need that sort of concept in their governments? when people run out of options, theyre gonna need as much government aid. i believe that communism or better yet, socialism is key for helping these people. and if you wanna talk about slavery, lets talking about capitalism. that economic system is designed to create debt peonage upon people that can barely support themselves. thats slavery, my friend

[chrispollock]

@rhcp2320 no. third world nations need democracy with market economy. no other system offers the same balance of individual and collective benefit. first off, under capitalism, you get into debt of your own volition. you also have the freedom to buy only what you can afford and not get into debt. whereas under communism, you are a slave to the state, you have no personal rights, you have no resources outside what the dictatorship wants you to have. one of the worst systems ever, always fails.

[Traitorfish]

@chrispollock Never heard of Rosa Luxemburg, have you?

[chrispollock]

@Traitorfish i have heard of rosa. she falls into the category of naiive believer rather than malicious revolutionary, as lenin was. rosa was a misguided idealist, it doesn't make the system she believed in any less inevitably prone to corruption.

[DRVII]

it doesn't get more REAL than zach

[Nlions93]

Lying fool

[CHARRRLII14]

is there anywhere where we can find that poster

[trkoby]

@CHARRRLII14 One for me too!!!

[jimeerey]

Awesome.  Where can buy those t-shirts? Keep up the good work!

[Manolo1013]

[Dilly5]

Zack is a legend

[Tsie1]

[0Crzy]

[ZboyRUCKAZ]

[xxreadyxxsetgoxx]

Zack's so hot

[CheWey86]

Man this is a fking cool vid.. Zach representing his culture and back round with that shirt "Los Tigres Del Norte" haha.. Viva Mexico! :P

[illestchicano]

I believe they're caught in the middle as I am. I believe in Revolution, but I also understand that in order to make it in this country you have to eventually fall into capitalism. Unless, you have great influence, unlimited money coming in, and you are really trying to help your people and not just yourself, then you will have a chance. But in the end, you will just be neutralized lol shit, no wonder no one has the nuts to do really do it.

[illestchicano]

You know whats funny, i was a strong RATM supporter, then after i started reading more and more, I realized that even though RATM is a band that promotes revolution and rebellion- in the end they're still a band marketing off those same ideals. Conclusion, RATM=Capitalism

[tibherius]

thats the reason why he left he didnt wanna do it but remenber they were 4 menber at the end they won and zack left the band

[aprilis6underground]

I gotta go get me one from Zack himself!!!

[erhajj]

These stencils are where it is at....

[aGothicStory]

Where did Zack get the revolutionary fatigues he's wearing?

[MrMasterchief666]

i like this video...editing, music, angles, lol....er....cool vid dude, nice stencils

[ddqtip]

great prints will continue to come.

new decade

same goals

peace love and knowledge

[blanke000]

[picpocarmy]

@dreadedhalo u know how to do that?

I'd like to learn those shirt techniques

[TruthAddic]

Really diggin the whole vibe of this video -- so natural and unforced. And the music just sets everything to a whole nother level. Also speaking as a female and on behalf of all Rage Against the Machine female fans, for 2:49 - 3:02... thank you!

[liquidmetalrob]

Does anyone know the name of the songs playing at the beginning and at the end?

[TruthAddic]

Good music right? First song is the first track off of Visionaries "Pangaea" album and dreadedhalo gave you the last one.

[7bloodi]

maggot brain by funkadelic in the beginning

[grapefeeling]

[concept09girl]

[reaper1545]

[dreadedhalo]

[aGothicStory]

Finally, you can't find de la Rocha anywhere!

Is this his house?

[chaseduran]

What's the beat at 3:00? I know it, but it's killing me!

[pulpfictioncompaz]

@chaseduran  I think its "you cant stop me now" by RZA aka Bobby Digital.

[roboticwillyroberts]

Holy Moly!!!

[escege]

haha los tigres del norte

representando con todo

[ToyFlameThrower]

Zach is awesome and he really knows his stuff...Love the guy

[marqujud]

Zach smart smart man. Much respect for his work.

[atlasperros]

[trinch17]

[josaywut]

ebay is the only place that ive seen them at so far. 50 bucks if i remember correctly

[nems213]

Zack is rockin that Los Tigres Del Norte shirt.

[Humanleague002]

We are honored to have Zack standing with us in Maricopa County! We have fought so long against Arpaio and it is finally starting to get somewhere. But we have a long way to go.

Thanks for posting this video.

[kgrrlm]

this is so awesome! thank you for this and your art is fantastic.

[commercialherb]

Damn This is really dope! Rhyme and Reason! I want one of those shirts. Does anyone know... Is all the art in this video by the artist?

[Henryr310]

What does he roll on the shirt before he sprays? Is it some type of glue?

[dbmars123]

Nice and empowering. Good to see Zach still fighting the good fight....KILLING IN THE NAME OF love and freedom :) xoxo....Ernesto you're the bomb, how do i cop a piece??!? Well done.

[roomonfire1991]

The framed Chuck D picture on the wall looks badass

[SilverNrGy985]

yeh it does!! and the art with Zach on it looks fuckin sick too!!!

[nlinares]

i love that manu chao print in the back ground - La Radiolina was an amazing record!

[bleedfromsoul]

so is this a one part in a series, this part of a documentary?

[LegendDairy1]

Nope...but not a bad idea...what you got in mind?

[trkoby]

@LegendDairy1 How about a documentary in collaboration with members from Rage against The Machine, touring with them to document their boycott of Arizona, and taking interviews with real families on BOTH sides of our borders,( Including border towns like Reynosa, El Paso, Nogales, Tiajuana) who have been ripped apart by U.S. immigration laws. Top it off with some live performances of new material from RATM and you got a hit that helps to put this national debate in the right direction.

[djpenguin]

All the art on the walls, the other things, De la rocha, and a issues to truly get behind, is the amazing thing.

[bubbabubbaboy]

hey you isn't that the dude from rage against the moon?
