[konvicted990]

I am Tunisian and wanted to see how accurate the subtitles were.. they were pretty accurate except for some small parts. The part where its written "takatak" Tunisians usually mix Arabic, French, and English while they speak; so basically he said "attack attack". Also readers keep in mind that the lyrics are lagging behind the audio by a lot.

[merrycrisis]

Too early to tell, but this will be registered in the history of music - it comes straight from the heart. The midgets with the deep pockets should be very worried; very worried indeed. They use coppers and tear gases, but mainly depend on apathy. However, when the middle class goes past poverty stage - which is soon - there won't be enough police to save them twats with the big bellies.

[Citadin]

song starts at 28second mark

[fleva16]

Is el general already released?

respect to you el general from india....i wish there was someone like you in my country as well instead all we get is the same bollywood horseshit...my country has the worst possible parasites in power and are supported by an equally fucked up media....

[rockking05]

I wish America can have its own Arab Spring but people like Fox News,and CNN would never allowed something like that to happen.I saw last night on Fox News where they were condemning the Wall Street occucyers calling them stupid hippies,and stupid bums,saying that they had no reason to be there at those protests,and i just got upset.Its like the media wants us to slaves forever.

[rockking05]

fuck the police

[nesedig]

he gave me his autograph toddy in Sweden !!!!

[92asami]

the lyrics in the video is little too slow but i love it !

[feed551]

i saw this guy here in Sweden today :)

[seraph101]

@feed551 Var han i Sverige?! He was in Sweden?

[feed551]

@seraph101 aa han var i Göteborg för att berätta om hur det var under revolutionen och så..

[seraph101]

@feed551 Fan va nice! Filmades det?

[feed551]

@feed551 jag själv filmade inte:P, men det filmades ia av andra, du kanske kan hittade den om du letar:)

[rmvannuchi]

He is dope !

[MudShaShaShaark]

I read about this song in the book Rock the Casbah by Robin Wright. She documents the youth and Internet based rebellions across the middle east. Its a great book. I love stuff like this, the US is filled with so much anti-Muslim propaganda lately, this is a nice counterpoint.

[pactu2006]

respect from berlin, germany

[Kompei]

@1:00 that's why you don't rap with a hat !

[1verge1]

Crazy how this dude in Tunisia makes a rap song that inspires an oppressed country to rise to revolution while scumbag rappers from the country that started rap are rapping about their private jets while the american poor's conditions are worsening every day. Fucking sad, what happened?! Peace and respect to El General.

[MudShaShaShaark]

@1verge1 so true!

[3liaa2011]

For whom who did not check the news : Tunisia is now free, Ben Ali fluid the country and This singer "el général" is free now.

[jsonheim]

@opticrainbow Spin brought me too. Did you notice how in America Facebook is a past-time, in Tunisia it can be a vehicle of revolution.

[opticrainbow]

Came here because of the article in Spin Magazine. MAJOR PROPS TO YOU, EL GENERAL.

[Nuttnidevil]

The subtitle is after the speaking... 

[Velomere]

This guy amazing in both musical ability and beliefs. I'm from the U.S. and el general will be remembered as a martyr if he doesn't live, whereas Ben Ali... not so much :P

[SarraLovesTunisia]

@Velomere Thank God, he is fine now. He is even giving concerts, one of them is happening today in Monastir (Tunisia) :D

[Velomere]

@SarraLovesTunisia

Hahaha I wish I could come xD

[canarybird55]

Please, explain to me somebody, what does it mean “takatak” in this fragment of the subtitles of the video:

“see the police with batons, takatak they don't care

since there is no one telling him to stop”

[Ilianos2009]

@canarybird55 it means they hit and punish and they don't care

[zzchRIsszz101]

oh thats what it meant i was wondering the same thing. Any way, dope rap. Awesome from tunisia although im not tunisian

[SarraLovesTunisia]

@canarybird55 It represents the sound of snipers I think .

[urbaneurope]

@canarybird55 i guess "takatak" is the sound of the police guns ;)

[sundiata365]

Fire!!!

[SuperGolddustwoman]

where is he? anyone heard anything since his arrest?

[Snoefied]

@SuperGolddustwoman He was released along with pretty much all other political prisoners when Ben Ali fleed the country. He has performed this song live for the public at a large stadium along with other music acts, to celebrate the liberation of Tunisia. As far as i know he is still a free man living a free life in Tunisia.

[damaged2]

What was the footage at the beginning? And what's "green"?

[NouhaQn]

@damaged2  all arabs call our country " the green Tunisia" because of it's beauty :) you should come to see by yourself !

[Jkay370]

[BPetrucci377]

By now, he is dead, I guess. So, El General, you have the respect and admiration from Brazil. Voce é foda

[armicode]

@BPetrucci377 no he isn't dead!!!!!!!!

[softsneakers]

@BPetrucci377 nah hes not dead, hes actually alive and hes still recording songs :)

[mraboobad]

a7la Rap , Respects ,,, Peace

[omario7]

friggin' SICK flow + wonderfull lyrics + titanium balls = El Général

this guy is a living legend, can you believe he was only 20 yo when he posted this video on 7 november 2010? he was one of the main reasons tunisian people finally made a move and fought for their freedom.

because seriously, when you see a 20 yo guy not fearing a dictator, you should be ashame of yourself if you don't do the same.

no wonder he was included in Time's 100 most influential people list.

HUGE RESPECT from Belgium

[antijarftw]

@omario7 amen

[hassibf]

@omario7 We need to implement this spirit in 180 million people of Pakistan, so that we could get rid of our dictators... i loved ur first line.

[DaFree0ne]

They sat him free.

[amazin303]

courage+bad-ass-ness = El General.

peace to the middle east. you are in our prayers...

plus this man has SUCH a sick flow man!!!

[MrAnderson1701]

At this time of profound social change around the world, I feel extremely fortunate to see that young people are part of these changes directly. I believe that art has this role, unfortunately some musicians here in Brazil just want to sing nonsense, leaving part of the people missing in the struggles of the underdog. I'm from Pará, and the rest of Brazil wants to push a dam without respecting indigenous peoples and residents of the area of Altamira.

[GMBRA]

By the way, I truly admire this man's courage. May he serve as an example of bravery to all youth worldwide. I wish everyone (including myself) had the balls to face injustice and tirany like this man did. El General, você é o cara! Valeu!

[GMBRA]

If only in my country people would struggle to take out all of its dirty politicians. In Brazil, senators and governors have stolen a shitload of money from the National Treasure and no one has the balls to claim it back. Nobody even cares about politics anymore here. We elected a professional clown (no kidding, he makes a living out of bad jokes and pranks) as federal deputy last year. It gets even worse than that because the dumbass is completely illiterate. We should value democracy way more.

[mugrilo]

@GMBRA compartilho a mesma opinião que vc. Aqui no Brasil a população é emburrecida ou desestimulada a estudar para que esses governantes tenham massa (acéfala) de manobra para se elegerem e permanecerem impunes. Lula absurdamente se gabava de ter pouco estudo e ocupar o cargo que ocupou. É tão estranho como um cara que largou a faculdade de medicina e que exerce ilegalmente a profissão e se gaba de não ter concluído o curso.

[mugrilo]

@GMBRA Sem falar que o Legislativo é uma piada, o Judiciário não se faz cumprir a lei e, enfim, somos todos sufocados financeiramente e também pelo medo, já que não temos em retorno o que pagamos em impostos...

[intruzo1994]

@GMBRA Tiririca no poder é foda mesmo :/ o esquema é levantar a bunda peluda e fazer algo!!!! atualmente eu tou participando dos protestos contra o aumento da tarifa (que deu uma cessada), contra o aumento dos parlamentares e o da poligremia.

O problema é que é cultural do povo brasileiro ser acomodado e as pessoas só se indignam quando alguem meche diretamente no bolso, que dizer no coração delas.

[gaje90]

El General is awesome not just in rapping, but in conveying a serious message about what's going on right now. Not to mention that kick-ass beat.

[tchampa27]

This Rapper was convicted 2 weeks before president's escape !!!

HHH

Let's admit it, he's not a pussy ! he've got balls !

[MirandaNicole2]

Intensely amazing! The words tell an incredible story! Just posted a song about liberation, The Scent of Jasmine! Check it out...I think you would appreciate it!

[sean123888]

This fucking movie is so fucking scary it litterly gave me the freaks for 5 mounths because of the beat of it. And how he raps to the song is so scary and even if I don't understand his Voise he creeps me out he shouldent have been killed or arrested or whatever he did

[LitleButerfli]

poor kid in the beginning of the video - he knows a terrorist when he says one.
