Nice, BUT this is a remix/rewrite/plagiarism/callitwhatyouwant of Anis Mojgani's poetry slam piece "Shake the Dust". There are plenty of recordings of it on YouTube, if you want to check yourself. Itch should man up and name his influence below the video, at least.
@parasight I'm not saying you're wrong, but it's entirely possible that it's coincidence. I'm guessing you're saying they're very alike due to the repeat of "This is for..." which isn't an entirely original idea and I imagine it could easily be conceived by two different people purely out of chance.
Like I say, I'm not saying you are wrong, but i just feel it is possible that it wasn't purposely taken from Anis Mojgani.
@ZakIsWin If you listen closely to the lyrics, you'll notice it's not only his use of "this is for". He uses a few of the topics as well, such as the "Language of God", the bit about the pedophile, etc. I think it's more that just coincidence. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, because I am a supporter of the remix culture, fair use and Creative Commons, but credit where credit is due.
@parasight well spotted and thanks for noticing. It seems too similar to be a coincidence. Anis Mojgani even says "This is for the dreamers". Personally I find Anis Mojgani's "Shake The Dust" piece much more inspiring...
i will marry itch
