[soicanleaveacomment]

This video is epic. You win.

[zzz33333]

@11mac11s accidentally replied from my girlfriend's account. i sent you my phone number (from her account) too.

[zzz33333]

@11mac11s i been about to run into the woods for years now. rewilding is still the goal but i'm getting old fast. i want to use my loud voice before it gets tired and hoarse. i am trying to make some real moves musically.

[BootyBot]

wow I get this. like I totally get the message, like through technology, and increased complexity within society humanity is destroying it's own essence.

At least that's what I think it's about. First listen to this song I didn't really listen. but this time it's like whoa. this is crazy. props dude this song actually has some truth to it.

[zzz33333]

@BootyBot :)

[LordTroll9000]

@zzz33333 Yo Zachary this tribalist shit is whack you smoking way too much ganja bro, read a few books, Anthrolologists show that the average lifespan of people living in tribal communities before 10,00 B.C was just 27 years of age. So it is time to get on your knees homie, and suck on a big corporate cock. Selfish, greed is the name of the game, homie, you gotta make money, stack your gold, and riches, fuck black bitches, hippies are whining windbags, fuck nature, put a dick up her ass. yo4real

[zzz33333]

best comment EVER.

Just real quick, I'll remind you that AVERAGES are MISLEADING. "Old Age" outside of civilization is anywhere between 50-80, and uncivilized folks rarely live to be 100. Civilization has increased the overall average lifespan by keeping vegetables alive, and reducing the infant mortality rate. This does not make civilization sustainable or NOT violent; it's still unsustainable and violent.

"Read a few books?" Which ones? I am always looking for new books!

[zzz33333]

@11mac11s i live here now. lets get up and go for a run or set some shit on fire or something

[donHooligan]

did you spell "abel" that way on purpose?

that's some deep quinnescent biblical shit.

[zzz33333]

@donHooligan this song's title: "Caint Fake"

[donHooligan]

@zzz33333 righteous.

i din't even notice that.

(it took me about 3 minutes to even get it)

[zzz33333]

@donHooligan get it? past tense...

[Warren2TheG]

I feel like this 2nd video is considerably improved. His voice came across bit better, his messages were more clear and the video concept really worked. The only thing that was kinda off was whoever he got to say: "I can't take it". It would have been cool if he got different people to say it every time it came around, representing how many people feel like this everyday in today's society.

Remember if we want to maximize our influence on others we all must work on our craft on every level.

[zzz33333]

@Warren2TheG That is a good idea; I should have done that. All the voices in this song are Me. Thank you for the kind words. :)

[DrDoctah]

@zzz33333 The voice saying "I can't take it" was a given, part of the music you had to use! That wasn't you, was it Zack...the same (weird) voice is on all the entries.

[zezt]

you shivered me up up from toe to head!

[weeearthlings]

have listened to this 17 times at least. it's maybe your very best - and for the final of the competition. am impressed how you went under pressure. really think you deserve to win. some had a better film. some had better flow - but you have the best story, best writing and did really decent on the video and flow and stuff too. think you've got a real solid chance. i'm glad it doesn't go on likes and stuff cause those other dudes have more subscribers - the judges will respect this for sure.

[DrDoctah]

if you don't win this thing, it's all a crock.

[GloryProjectz]

You remind me of Eiqu..

[donHooligan]

i just watched a bunch of the other contest videos. thank you.

it bothers me that You are the Only contestant who actually Says Something.

[weeearthlings]

@donHooligan i watched um all too. I thought NAK had stuff to say but he's still in questioning mode with no articulate answers much. Zack has a decade of study on him though. He got potential but he's not as good a rapper as Z either - by far. I'm REALLY interested to see who wins this. Zack has it far as I can see.

[donHooligan]

@weeearthlings hopefully i'm wrong...but all the promising lines and stanzas that other cats recorded just Happened to rhyme. sort of like a convenient accident.

[weeearthlings]

@donHooligan haha :P i think that NAK guy is genuine. Smart young dude who just sees shit is not right. I'm hoping he listens to Zack's entry to get some good ideas about foundation of the problem!

[donHooligan]

@weeearthlings yeah, i hope he spends plenty of time in the video description box. it could save his life. questioning things sometimes lead to being hevily medicated with Dangerous prescription pharmapoisonceuticals.

[weeearthlings]

@donHooligan sure. it can lead to answers too. and the opposite of that stuff... seems better to be questioning than not. i think he's doing alright - as i said Z has a decade of study and analysis on that dude in particular. i think he did a good job. but i think he's the only one who isn't 'in' the competition. interested to see who wins it - will depend what they're looking for, zactly...

[staudz]

you just randomly filmed people around ny?

[donHooligan]

soon, the OWSers will have a grand awakening, and the realization will jostle the very foundation of The Empire. 

[donHooligan]

babel fish?

the answer is 42.

[hrsmash]

good song zach, powerful stuff <3 hr + th

[thefilthypoliticians]

awesome video. depth is on point as always, flow is tight. haven't heard anything get down to it like that from the others man. makin smart cool.

[zzz33333]

@thefilthypoliticians appreciate that homie. been finally getting a chance to write for That Other Project... You Already Know. gonna have some concrete ish to show you real soon :D

[zzz33333]

@pennilesscripple :)

[HuxHazHeart]

This is the winner, right here; this is how real hiphop should be. I follow the same style man, and this is real. Keep at it!

[soicanleaveacomment]

Zack, this is freaking epic. I am so proud of you, man. Keep on climbing.

[hi10390]

nice... your voice and flow reminds me of immortal tech a little bit..

gook luck in the final round.....

[DrDoctah]

I love watching this! Better each time!

[A1RxJ0RDAN23]

i think you just won the contest

[EmptyThatsMe]

sounds sick!

[DMinusAGoogaplex]

you got this homie

[weeearthlings]

oh - another question - does it actually matter how many likes and stuff you get or is it just up to the judges?

[weeearthlings]

did you film this with your lap top? raw video is cool also.

[zzz33333]

@weeearthlings phone.

[weeearthlings]

REMEMBER

[zzz33333]

@weeearthlings respect

[weeearthlings]

RECONNECT

[weeearthlings]

REWILD

[iambpell]

Yeeeeeeee brotha !

[weeearthlings]

this is a real good song

[orgasmictalk]

im huge palmer squares fan but i must say i think your 2nd round entry might top theirs.

[hillexallen]

@orgasmictalk lawl, i hate to say it but I'm a huge zzz fan but i think palmer squares was a bit better in terms of flow and rhymes. zack's message is clearly paramount though.

[weeearthlings]

@hillexallen the squares do have good flow and stuff, lots of big words... but they didn't make any kind of point until the second half - was all rap battle banter. i thought Zack has way better story telling in this rap, like actually a kind of journey not just a bunch of verse strung together... which is real important. anyway i agree with you, that this message is tight, and i thought it was real smart for Z to ignore the competition/battle bs and stick to the message.

[weeearthlings]

@weeearthlings did using the word 'tight' in this make it sound like i knew what i was talking about - or like i was faking like i knew what i was talking about?

[hillexallen]

@weeearthlings yeah, i agree with this.

[hillexallen]

BRAVO! And Good Luck!

[maxbladel]

HELL M'FN YES!!! Respect

[sundiatasoulbefree]

You may not be the best rapper but you are by far one of the most important!

[DrDoctah]

@sundiatasoulbefree doesn't that make him one of the best also? check out his other videos, he can spout rhymes with the best of them but here he is actually trying to make a point!

[sundiatasoulbefree]

@DrDoctah ohh don't get me wrong i love the shit out of Zack, I don't think he has even scratched the surface of how good he is going to end up being, i watch all his videos and a matter of fact he was my first youtube subscription before he even started putting out raps I hear his points loud and clear as a matter of fact i echo them to people, the thing is I think Zack is bigger than rap music, I put him in the same category as immortal technique...a person that can help change the world.

[zzz33333]

@sundiatasoulbefree honored by this. Bruce Lee says there is no goal; only perpetual progression past plateaus. None of us are as good now as we can and will be.

[sundiatasoulbefree]

@zzz33333 I am honored you are giving us all more wisdom I have learned so much from you that i actually apply in my daily life, i have read so many book i never heard of and was exposed to so many people i would never have known otherwise, and i quote you a lot so continue your perpetual progression and know that your message is being received and most of all you are having a impact on peoples lives dude...thank you Zack I think I speak for everyone when i say i appreciate you, PEACE!

[Velsbasketcase]

Nice.

[PriestBoy11]

another great hook

[DrDoctah]

this is so great! love it love it, especially liked the words helping me understand lyrics . loved the looks on the faces of the lost people

[Dern8]
