I heard this song on a commercial for "the cape" and i said to myself "That sounds like street sweeper." And I was right!

[cityslitz]

Boooooooooooots! and maybe some Tom while we're at it...

[HerbalTeaSoda]

Tom Morello is a bad ass no mater who he plays with

[commiedeer]

I still need to see the Cape though props to the SSSC for getting on the soundtrack for primetime television.

[Nivana4life]

[TheAmazingAuthor]

@Nivana4life I actually saw it, it was really good.

[AgentOfChaos47]

[TheAmazingAuthor]

[mattirap]

this is rapcore idiots.

[MinuteOfPerfection]

It's just music, man. Not my fault if you're the 'sensitive' type.... XD

[PriscillaAlbrecht]

@Kenzie325 this isn't even rap. This is like Rap Metal or Rap Rock.

Real rap is much more upbeat.

But I agree, I will listen to any band that has Tom Morello's awesome guitar work in it.

[kenzie325]

i cant stand rap but when i heard tom was in this band i had to check it out and i am lovin it!

[1KillaWhale]

funkfight for prez!



[drathqwerty]

white is right

[finbinfarbar1]

@drathqwerty why?

[IChiiSSiiIx]

@finbinfarbar1 Because black is niggah-gay

[finbinfarbar1]

@drathqwerty why? whats the evidence for that statement? do you actualy have a reason for saying that other than being a coward, cause thats what you are, afraid of anyone different due to your own inadequacies. There's no place for you anymore you backwards little nazi.

[drathqwerty]

@finbinfarbar1 what the fuck are you talking about white pride isn't shameful nor is black pride

[SicVeraMundi]

Stop talking races and start thinking masters vs sheep. New take on racism. THERE ARE NO RACES!

We're all cousins since 70 000 years ago (bushmen). Check out Human Genome Project. 70 000 years = 3 500 generations TOPS. Takes 10 000 to 50 000 for a decent mutation. QED NO RACES! Some of us just moved in caves and lost the pigment. Some moved to politics and religion and lost their brains.

So! Types of sheep: family, company, ethnicity, country, religion etc. groups made for control.

[SicVeraMundi]

@SicVeraMundi PS: not that i brought them up, look at the beauty of bushmen society, no crime, no theft, no social stratification, no control, no pain and suffering, no tears, no invisible person in the clouds. In this respect the bushmen society is far more advanced then us. While we developed technologically we regressed socially. Couple the bushmen principle (90% of our time on earth) of equal share with today's technological progress and you have a near perfect world. WE ARE ONE!

[ironhuman1]

it sounds very much alike "killing in the name of" in the beggining

[ratmrulesyou1]

@ironhuman1 sweet i never noticed that, btw its called "Killing In The Name"

not "Killing In The Name Of"

[krazywhit3b0i]

funkfight1. hank williams.

[Buttrageous]

Boots is the dopest muthafucka around. He's always had a message i agreed with and a dope delivery. keep on, man.

[rokitrice]

funkfight11 is fucking right

[Gazzthemightyarseole]

wow instead of intelligence you find shit and hate on the comments.glad they are old posts lol

[aillish3]

stop trolling its just a song not like its number one everywhere

[JTheTeach]

next Rage, but funky as hell. love it.

[JoshuaJDrew]

finally - Morella has someone rapping over his music again

[FiswaT]

hmm probably my fav track on the album

[SenseiOfSlow]

good but makes me miss the good ol' rage against the machine.

[drizztf88]

@letterhome

fuck off

[drizztf88]

@letterhome

sorry just saw what you wrote on your profile

[jesterforce]

I think its actually talking about both rich government killers who kill and killers on the streets who kill also.

[gamingod7539]

@jesterforce The song is talking about how governments are the real criminals, that the gangs and thieves are petty crimes in comparison to how governments act and "steal" form their people. It is an interesting concept if you think about it.

[fairweasel2323]

pretty good but doesnt compare to rage or audioslave

[theprofane]

This is quite superb. Fuck anyone that begs to differ.

[jollyjosh951]

heyy boots ain't bad, he has a pretty good flow and his political lyrics are tight. morello always has the best riffs on guitar. Not a bad band. I wouldn't compare it to Rage tho... completely different band

[WAMmovieproductions]

RATM and SWSC

I cant decide I love em both

[ThaKiddJc]

rage>the rest

[KillinGnatsies]

why is it that any band with members from rage against the machine has to be compared to it and any other bands that achieved mainstreem success as well.

[kramer0419]

@KillinGnatsies just listen to it dude. If these lyrics were sung/rapped by Zack de la Rocha it's RATM the only difference is the lead singer. Musically sounds just like them.

[KillinGnatsies]

I know, im asking why people compare each band. None of them are the same, who cares. It's good music, doesn't matter what it sounds like.

[bolton89]

@KillinGnatsies say word.

[urasmore]

because rage casts just a fucking huge and awesome shadow, but i like this band too :)

[KillinGnatsies]

well niggertits

[repprampage]

What is so bad about liking Audioslave more than Rage? If I had a choice between the two, I'd choose Audioslave because I like their sound better. So fuck you. It's my opinion.

[oblivenous]

you can't compare SSSC to Rage or Audioslave, as this is Morello's "single" stuff... HOWEVER; you CAN compare Rage to Audioslave and Audioslave was better; an advanced version. Rage & Soundgarden put together. saw them play SoundG & Rage songs live as Audioslave and it was AWESOME.

too bad Cornell had to kill off another bad-ass band by trying to be an acoustic pussy, but if he hadn't done that, then we may not have seen SSSC.

true, URASMORE, they do cast a GIANT shadow, but not too big.

[ryanb360]

this isnt morellos "single" stuff clearly hes with boots as for his single work he goes buy the name "The Nightwatchman" and its folk

[oblivenous]

why do you think i put "single" in quotes like that? because i didn't have the time or care to add a longer comment including "The Nightwatchman" work, which i do know.

if he encompasses 2/4, and the drummer & frontman are 1/4 each, then it does make this technically "more" his than theirs...

no need to waste time being more specific than fucking specific to appease to a couple of anal-retentive dorks like you "clearly" sound like; bud.

:-/

[oblivenous]

oh; you're Canadian. i understand completely now. LOL

[rockinreba]

@oblivenous Whats wrong with Canadians?? I shall sick my poalr bear on you. Thats right.

[ezemvn]

@rockinreba canadians live log houses in moutains, that means its a 3rd world country!

[rockinreba]

@ezemvn Not cool. We live in igloos too man.

[ferdievonholstein]

@repprampage i prefer rage my self but i see your point so thumbs up, and why dont you die hard fags fuck off and do something other than bitch!

[kamlasayeen]

finnaly some1 with taste. The only reason i dont like rage is because of Zack de la Roach and his crappy vocals.

Boots wipes the floor with de la roach.

[Unbannable]

wtf!!!!

the best part of RATM is zack

and this retard "Boots" sucks ass

[kamlasayeen]

so what, thats ure fking opinion, personally i dont like whiny people

[pumper34x]

This country is going to implode because no one can discuss anything let alone music without getting pissed..

I'm lock and loaded...ready for the clowns to arise.

[KillinGnatsies]

Baloon animals anyone?

[drinkitstraight]

I named my dog ninja after this tour =)

[Dragoon876]

i guess this is why i listen to job for a cowboy now instead of eminem...

[DerangedRanger1]

Boots Riley's rhymes are just amazing. I love how the words in a phrase start with the same letter so much.

[gunofmercy]

there's no such thing as high art or low art form, just the subject matter. Rock or rap that has good social commentary and makes you think is great. Rap and also rock that is all about excess isnt very good

[geodorff]

Honestly, I never really liked rap, although I've been following Tom since the first RATM album dropped, I've allways loved his work, and this has actually changed my perspective of rap/hip hop.

[killgore2100]

i listened 2 eminem when i was 8 and stopped liking rap soon after, and then RATM kinda made me like it again

[Hlaode]

I agree entirely geodorff. I think my previous perceptions of rap are because so much of what is elevated as quality rap is utter shit.

[ParkourJayy]

@geodorff Tom Morello's the king of Nu Metal and i love all of his stuff, I don't think that i like Rap/Gangsta Rap but i do like Nu Metal which has been molded by Tom Morello's influence and KoRn and RATM So yeah (y)

[psykosis69]

@ParkourJayy Tom plays more of a funk-metal style, IMO, than he does the power-chord-heavy likes of Nu Metal. That there were so many earlier Rap-Metal groups that imitated Rage isn't very surprising, but those weren't a genre so much as just the usual wannabes that follow major acts.

[Michal2989]

@geodorff But :D This isn't rap/HipHop this is NuMetal :]]

[andrewbrophy]

nzephier you an idiot nothing will be better than RATM

[nzephier]

you missed my point. i was basically saying how audioslave was the first supergroup tom was a part of. and that this is his second technically speaking. since boots riley was with the coup before this.

i never said anything about audioslave being better than rage nor will i ever, because they are both great, but then again anything tom includes himself in is awesome from the get go. its all good music, but rage has a message to it.

[haydenSTAYGOLD]

dude, this has a message 2 - we support 'gangstas' through pop culture, idolizing the image, but in reality people are ignorant of what they're idolizing. So, clap for the killas, give it up for them gangstas.

[nzephier]

i know that, someone is mixing my words up. and does not get waht i am talking about.

[georgo342]

hey hes entitled to his own opinion you fuckin prick and he never even said that anyone was better than RATM

so very sincerly fuck you

[nzephier]

tom is still rockin out hard even after all the awesome songs he ahs already sent out with RATM audioslave and his own solo project the Nightwatchmen.

Tom is one of those guitarists who mixes traditional scales and chords, with something you have never heard before literally. who can forget his sonic mayhem, manipulating the guitar into doing things it didnt even know it could, but not just that, making it sound like music, when others would say "eww where did that come from?" tom rox nuff said

[junkhop]

This is probably the best "rap/metal" song I've ever heard. The whole band hits that groove so hard, and Morello is right in there - not too busy...then that nice slow burn solo....

[Blarg93]

Really? Personally, there are a couple RATM rap/metal songs I prefer over this. While this song is good, Darkness of Greed is a good one that's close to this song and so are the last five-or-so tracks to Evil Empire.

[Azraelmaximilian]

as far as im concerned rage and SSSC both whooop ass, go boots, go morrello.

[killgore2100]

yes they are both great but as a rapper, boots kills de la rocha

[DrMattDestruction]

if you put h t t p : / / in front of links you put in video descriptions they become clickable links.

[ChristianElmes88]

what a track

[FunkFight1]

You are a racist asshole. This song is about how the ultra-rich and the government are the real gangsters and killers. You are too stupid to actually listen to the lyrics. Besides that: "All that nigger shit"? Rock was originally black music that white people started doing. The Rolling Stones AND The Beatles will tell you that. So, I guess by you saying "All that nigger shit" you mean rock as well. Plus there have ALWAYS been a larger per-capita percentage of whites on welfare, dumb-ass.

[brkcustoms]

oh well you can go listen to your rob thomas and daughtry, while dry humping your pillow for all i care.

[killgore2100]

ur the one thats trollin, u r the one humping ur pillow

[CoreofDragoon]

@FunkFight1 so what you dont like it but there rich your not and they could probably kick your ass

[dirtbikedemon911]

@FunkFight1 he should of said Rock>rap

[CameronHaroSaleen]

@FunkFight1 There's no hyphen in the word dumbass

[AnthonyGhost]

@chissi100 your a bitch who just like talk shit over the internet. you know you wouldnt say that shit in public

[FunkFight1]

@ultimatex123 @ultimatex123 You racist, uneducated, illiterate asshole. What I was saying was: Definitely, the pillars of White Rock and Roll as it is today are inarguably The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, Elvis, and Jerry Lee Lewis. All have said- and it's obvious even if they didn't- that the music they were playing on the early albums and after were Blues and Rhythm&Blues cover songs and originals that were inspired by that music. But what I actually meant was: Fuck your mama.

[TheRobster94]

@FunkFight1 i love you. xD 

[runkantusrun]

@FunkFight1 agree lol

[Vert308]

@FunkFight1 you forgot to include Pink Floyde

[L33Tspartan]

@FunkFight1 DUDE! where the fuck is jimi hendrix?

[FunkFight1]

@L33Tspartan I guess I thought that was too obvious. But, insert Hendrix in there, too!

[TheIvoryrocker]

@L33Tspartan jimi isnt white

[L33Tspartan]

@TheIvoryrocker oopsd lol missed the white part

[TOXIC00L]

@FunkFight1 black people invented most if not all American made music styles. and the country banjo. you're welcome lol.

[cowdust51]

@TOXIC00L The banjo was invented in Africa. Definetly, not America. You don't know as much as you think you do.

[TOXIC00L]

@cowdust51 breakdown.

most if not all musical genres that exist in America were made/influenced by black people.

country banjo in country and folk music you can most commonly hear the banjo hence the country banjo.

you need to read comments better.

[TOXIC00L]

@cowdust51 and society was invented in Africa as well. by which i mean humanity as a whole.

you're welcome.

[TheBrowndawg]

@ultimatex123 funny how you say that on a video which contains a blues solo.

[ultimatex123]

@TheBrowndawg It's still not a blues song you stupid fuck because rock >>>>> blues in all times present and future

[TheBrowndawg]

@ultimatex123 i never said it was. youre the queer cunt who said blues has nothing to do with rock, amazing how 60 years later they are still putting blues solos in rock songs huh.

[ultimatex123]

@TheBrowndawg more like its amazing 60 years later blues is pretty much fucking dead and idiots like you get boners off a few seconds of it claiming thats all it is

[TheBrowndawg]

@ultimatex123 tell ya what forget i said anything, my mother always told me, never argue with a fuckin idiot. they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience...

[ultimatex123]

@FunkFight1 you talk to much nigger

[superbide]

@ultimatex123 Troll

[coma9]

@ultimatex123 you're a fucking IDIOT. get off the net

[paulsimage]

@ultimatex123 use 'too' bigot

[jut10000]

@FunkFight1

i agree with everything, sept rock coming from black people, rock music came from all kinds of races, not just one

its actualy very complicated, i took a modern music history class

but yea, i hate racists as much as you do

[andbanned]

@jut10000 Black people gave us rhythm and the tri tone, two key elements of jazz, blues, rock, metal and hip hop. How did black people not give us rock n roll?

[jut10000]

@andbanned

dude, rythm and tri-tone did not come from ONLY black people

its naive to say that

black people had a big part in music history

but they are not the only ones

every race thinks they'r own is the ones who changed music

thats all baloni

no part of music whatsoever is owend or originated from one single race

[BMaN2112112]

@FunkFight1 stop being a pussy. its just a song, and i know people can interpret the meanings differently, but there is no need for you to troll on a perfectly good song

[FunkFight1]

@BMaN2112112 I am not trolling. I'm answering someone who made racist comments- "All that nigger shit"- about the singer for this group. I'm calling him out for racist trolling. If you're not down with that, then fuck you.

[andbanned]

@FunkFight1 as Mos Def once said, Elvis Presley ain't got no soul, Bo Diddly is rock n roll.

[PFHNetwork]

@FunkFight1 LOL everywhere I go I hear righteous shit from you. I am guessing we can count you in for the revolution.

[thePolerin]

@FunkFight1 What? Racist's on youtube? NEVER?!?!!!

fuck yeah btw.

[IChiiSSiiIx]

@FunkFight1 ALL THAT NIGGAH SHIET!!! 

[gunofmercy]

fuck all your racist shit, that is lame.

[Tomerrelofan4life]

For me i think this sounds great but well i think Zack has just pure frickin anger in his vocals and just makes the crowd go wild

[purplewithgold]

Holy shit. I wasn't expecting it to be this awesome.

Well played, dudes. You are now my favorite supergroup.

[UdallIn72]

I feel exactly the same way.

...This might be a bit heretical, but I actually kind of prefer this to Rage.

Boots' lyrics are funnier without losing any of the anger.

[purplewithgold]

Haha, I'm actually from the other side of the table. Rage is ok, and I listen to them sometimes, but I'm a total Boots fangirl. I just wasn't sure how he would sound with Morello.

[oldoldoldoldold]

Boots all the way muthafucka!

[VIL388]

Audioslave is over rated!!!!

[projektsoldier7]

i hate it

[goony11]

why would you say that?

[nzephier]

their underrated dude.

[OrionFCPerenyi]

It's called "Rage Against The Machine", dumbass...

[Forge11108]

I hope you can swallow words well as you can cum

I barely even begun but fuck Triple S C dats it Im done

[Forge11108]

Talk shit and pout, I break bricks and shift crowds

You bitches are so gay you must get ya asses pound

Like the first rule of your lil club is only dicks allowed

You go by the Street Sweeper Social Club?

Na you go for the queer peepers shoulder rub

Goddamn, what a fucking miserable mix

Like Kramer in a pit with Brad and Angelinas kids

You better sit this one out, before you get stung

Like my tongues a hornets spike but I can use it more than once

[Forge11108]

Courtesy of Forge, youll get your fantasy destroyed

Before you run gallantly into ya fifteen minute void

Call it original cos you put in some minimal guitar riffs

Bout as impressive as a blowjob from Rosie O Dons lips

You got a hundred little curses I got a murder list of verses

Enough to fill the receipt of a million MCs discography purchase

Dont give a fuck if your crew got a few hits on youtube

A sellout proves his lack of jewels by his fans moves

[00Dazedreamer00]

Morello=Present Day Guitar greatness

Zack De La Rocha=Vocal phenom (not the greatest,but great lyricist)

Morello+One Day As A lion=Hmmmmmmm

[ajh1108]

the Sex Pistols ended because they were a joke of a band. they were as staged as the New Kids or Nsync. Sid Vicious didnt even play on the album. read a book

[DerangedRanger1]

i am aware that sid vicious did not know how to play bass. why all the hate? is the comment that threatening?

anyway, you clearly missed the point of the post. the sex pistols is not what its about. try reading with less emotion and it will become clearer - especially if you listen closely to the lyrics not only of this song, but also common themes in RATM.

Remember to breathe - everything will be fine.

[CMIIRxFILMS]

although i would have to call you a hater i would partially have to agree i do like this thoogh but zach would have melted microphones :P with this song
