[fabuladeum1]

best vid ever, fucking love this song!

[Crazyrat84]

I have been sitting here trying to say something about the rap that would explain the thoughts that i have.. But nothing that i type seems "legit" I'm not sure if that is a propper word or not. But that best descibes what I am thinking. What if 2pac or BiggieSmalls whould have said things about atheism... / Peace love and understanding / From Sweden, Not that it matters where I am from.

[DasHinchen]

This rap just sums everything up - Thank you for doing this!

[stefonbirch]

#Realshit... I had to go watch this episode.

[myonlyforgiveness]

hey guys just remember the word tangible, I am tangible you can see,touch,taste,hear,and smell me. I am real. God does not exist for something to be real it has to be tangible. can we see,touch,taste,hear, or smell god? no. He's not tangible. your show it gives real facts and statistics. I know from a personal death experience. I WAS LEGALLY DEAD FOR TWO Minutes. I saw whats on the other side. nothing but a vast wasteland i guess thats where souls go. my gma was there she asked: where is god?

[itzahazylife]

i think it was Richard Feynman who said "we're not yet in a scientific age because we don't sing songs about science"

atheism usually brings one closer to science..and here we have atheist hip hop lol..that's a good sign in my opinion..there's also another atheist rapper, Greydon Square, who raps about atheism and science.

[LOGIC42369]

sounds a bit like cunninglynguists but the beat sucks

[omgcowshaveudders]

@LOGIC42369 At first I read that as cunnilinguistics (as in, a mix between cunnilingus and linguistics.) I thought that was interesting..and kind of funny. Turns out I read it wrong...

[LOGIC42369]

@omgcowshaveudders haha... well check out cunninliynguists (sp?) they are too dopppe

[shawndimery]

The 'its just a test' lyric is amazing

[explosivoification]

I prefer the version that has the sample from the atheist experience for "poison"

[brokenscimitar]

The singer has ants in his pants.

[johauHAU]

i luv this song 

[DastardlyDawkins]

"It's all poison." - Says the gangsta with a list of convictions the list of your arm.

Gross hypocrisy, or what.

[DastardlyDawkins]

Sorry, *length* of your arm. :)

[raichutoyou]

OMG. I love this song.

[PimpMyParadigm]

could they hear the music? music, especially hip hop beats makes you move! I love atheism because it inspires free thought and freedom from religious brainwashing BUT i wonder if relying completely on rationality and intellect makes you lack appreciation for soulfulness, emotions, art and spiritual ecstasy. (btw i know i cant judge personalities based on a show but its just a thought)

[JackeShanTwo]

@PimpMyParadigm I have those things you call "soulfulness, art, emotions" etc AFTER rejecting anything supernatural or spiritual. I think about facts and physics, how nature really is and not how I'd like it to be.

[PimpMyParadigm]

@JackeShanTwo i guess what i was contemplating was: DOES ATHEISM MAKE YOU BORING? haha that is to say are we to always rely completely on rationality logic science etc and if yes, what is the place of our emotions art, music or "soul" if you will?

[JackeShanTwo]

@PimpMyParadigm Plain and simple answer: No.

As Carl Sagan eloquently put it: "Imagination will carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere."

Enjoying music, art and even having emotions doesn't mean you can't be rational. Although where we have strong emotions we're liable to fool ourselves.

[PimpMyParadigm]

@JackeShanTwo my theory about this whole thing if i may share it, is that "god" is an emotional urge and religious is art / mythology. nothing is wrong with emotions and having existential experiences but the institution of Religion takes advantage of those emotions.

[Oceanrust4]

OK WHATEVER STFU BEFORE I CAPS UR ASS

[DaFleegsta]

@Oceanrust4 HOW I TURN OFF CAPS LOCKS OFF?

[klm4298]

@DaFleegsta THE CAPS LOCK CAN NEVER BE TURNED OFF, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!

[Oceanrust4]

HEY WHAT ABOUT JESUS JESUS IS FACT

[CaptainCharismarules]

@Oceanrust4 Jesus is a Horus wannabe

[Pilaf1984]

@Oceanrust4 CAPS LOCK IS CAPS LOCK

[zweiosterei]

Word

[PrincepsNemesis]

he's wearing a Two and a Half Men like bowling shirt....am I the only one seeing this?

[Mikeybetts]

this song is SO true

[CaptainCharismarules]

Beautiful.

[Aviii]

Easily my favorite rap song EVER.

[ZZZ024]

95% OF AMERICA IS POISONED! USE ATHEIST POTION TO CURE?

[Mikeybetts]

@ZZZ024

yeah, its called "science and reason"

[Xigano1]

Doing the Atheist worm :)

[turtle5181]

I said "Atheist Hip-Hop??? "

the lyrics and the message are on point... simple as that, good job.

[monopolydevil]

I'm a believer and a hip hop but even I appreciate the thought into this

[ZZZ024]

@monopolydevil Your poisoned! :P

[mnkittel]

(un)Holy crap, TAA - this rap is amazing. Keep it, keep it, keep it!

[TheBiddleMan]

This is good? wtf was expecting it to be cheesy but it's not

[iwontswallow]

How about making a rock version, using the music from Alice Cooper's "Poison"?

"It's poison/Throwing acid on a little girl/Just poison/Religion ruining the world", good chorus, huh?

[pickle430]

I think that Christians just use hell as a way to scare people to believe in god to say that hell exists but oh well I will know when I die

[FutureScience2012]

@pickle430you be dead you wont no shit, no disrespect

[pickle430]

@FutureScience2012 lol so true

[pickle430]

I'm sry but I don't believe in either heaven or hell

[doaftheloaf]

@pickle430 why be sorry? i for one am glad i don't believe in either place, as neither has any evidence to support it.

[pickle430]

@doaftheloaf lol I don't know

[fallbread]

oh man i want this song excellent great job

[Simma7]

I was originally looking for Bel Biv Devoe, but I'm glad i came across this. :D

[Exlemic]

Stockholm Syndrome - Greydon Square

[tosho84]

@roont: Graydon is the man!

[roont]

For some awesome Atheist Hip Hop check Greydon Square too. The Kardishiv Scale is AWESOME!

[yellowunlimited]

I was worried this would be bad but it's actually really awesome.

[TheUnlimitedCovers]

I'm a metalhead and i love this song.

[donohue100]

[Zentz29]

[JamieBodz]

Should check out the atheist by mnops killer track

[ymkamara420]

HOES ON MY DICK CAUSE I LOOK LIKE JESUS. SWAG

[ymkamara420]

this is nothing LISTEN TO THE BASED GOD

[MrKn1ght]

just subscribed to RationalWarrior. enjoying his videos so far.

[nawheadies]

Mark's become an inside joke the poor guy

[Falloutglitch]

@iOnlyHaveThisForWoW

Since when is religion a small issue?

[iOnlyHaveThisForWoW]

@Falloutglitch

Small issue as in a small stance. Not believing in god is not exactly a big part of your life decisions in my opinion.

[Mams31383]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE

[iOnlyHaveThisForWoW]

It's disturbing that atheism is becoming an identity, rather than a simple stance on a small issue.

[hellhammerz666]

@iOnlyHaveThisForWoW It's called free speech. I usually hate hiphop, but this song has amazing lyrics. Who are you to tell the guy writing the song he can't do it anyways? Who are you to tell people they shouldn't be outspoken about their atheism? You don't like it, and that's fine, but the message in the song isn't hateful, it's honest, as many of us have come to realize by different methods.

[iOnlyHaveThisForWoW]

@hellhammerz666

I'm an atheist. But I still find it disturbing that it is slowly evolving into some sort of movement in certain parts of the world. I might be idealistic, but we are not meant to become some sort of culture; we are supposed to be a group of people that will eventually, naturally develop in size. Spreading a 'gospel', so to say, of atheism is just selfdefeating imo.

[hellhammerz666]

@iOnlyHaveThisForWoW I think that happens as a social phenomena. People are usually competitive, and want to gather with people with similar opinions. To be honest, i have no problem with atheists organizing themselves in groups. It's a good thing to do in places where a vast majority still believes in ancient myths. Personally, i prefer valuing people individually. I honestly don't think promoting rational inquiry and skepticism is a bad thing.

[hellhammerz666]

@iOnlyHaveThisForWoW I personally don't pretend to compete with religions. What i seek is to promote questioning them, just like we do with everything else. The undeserved respect they've managed to obtain for centuries is precisely what crafted this damn taboo around them. If religions can actually manage to be scrutinized and get out of it in good shape, they shouldn't be fearing inquiry as they do right now, right?

[DaFleegsta]

@hellhammerz666 I think you should give hip hop another chance :) You're probably basing your opinion of hip hop off modern mainstream hip hop.. search up immortal technique or tupac, hip hop is all about the lyrics (theyre not singing so they have to rely on lyrics to make it worth anything).. some artists (especially the old ones) produce a lot of great songs with very meaningful lyrics..

[hellhammerz666]

@DaFleegsta Meh... i just hate the beats lol. No objection to decent lyrics, though. I've heard some very interesting ones in hiphop and rap. This one definitely outstands! Sadly, mainstream shallow crap has stained most musical genres out there with really retarded words :(.....

[iOnlyHaveThisForWoW]

Why the hell would you make atheist hiphip? As much as I like that people take a distance from religion, it's rather disturbing that there is a need to create an atheist ANYTHING. Pop music, and music in general, is usually not religious to begin with, and do people really need bands to promote their idea that god is not real?

It disturbs me that the American atheists seem to sink into becoming some sort of culture, rather than just rational people. It should not be like that.

[WolfySnackrib666]

I fuuuucking hate hip hop and rap but this is a beautifully spoken song with a good message. Keep it up.

[tctheunbeliever]

Damn, I musta missed the beginning of this ep. I don't usually care for hip-hop, but I love this.

[Falloutglitch]

Poor Mark XD

[Falloutglitch]

Awesome!!!!

[HerrKnitler]

As a fan of hip hop I was expecting this would be some wack political white rapper with a wimpy voice... but he really impressed me. He only needs a real studio and some producer to polish up the soundscape and it's good to go.

[HilarityBribo]

Agnostic here. Believe what you want, but insulting people with religion like you're doing in this video doesn't put you much higher than they are....

[pyro666926]

@HilarityBribo calling it poison? well its hard to argue with that. its just another divisive element in a world too divided already. you dont embrace racism, you attempt to abolish it. remove the hate they breed. They are the racists, we are the ones saying there is no such thing as race.

[HilarityBribo]

@pyro666926 Well I was talking about religion here. And by the way, Race is a reality, not sure what koolaid you've been drinking.

[pyro666926]

@HilarityBribo yeah, i got that. Im saying you dont embrace divisive elements. Dont embrace religion or say "its ok to believe what you want to", because some beliefs are very dangerous, such as the idea of superiority over other peoples due to matters circumstance. religion is poison just like racism is. it gives people a sense of false entitlement and social "correctness" that is unjust.

[gwf1213]

@pyro666926

its ok to believe what you want to its ok to believe what you want just so long as you dont act on it.

[Exlemic]

I wish I were black and i could rap :(

[EmperorZ19]

Religion is the tar used to fill the holes in our knowledge, and when we finally find the pieces that are supposed to go in those holes it's damn near impossible to get the tar out.

[GODKINGLANDON]

Oh thine God-king.

[TheAnubisDrake]

Funny how many people out there are ignorant of the fact that there is more to rap than making money and getting women.

[mboundtogether]

word

[blkswimmer]

That was great

[StateCCM]

my nigga

[Domzdream]

Awesome!

[AndrzejWLipski]

I love hip hop and rap when it has a good message. like this. I would listen to it more if it did.

[chazwahzer]

Sounds better than all current hip hop on the radio :)

[dkinetik]

@chazwahzer ur not wrong there :) ..

[tarsonis10]

I like hiphop that has meaning. That was very good

[cruelbusiness1984]

@video: lov it! lov it! its so true! thanks for havin the words 2 read as well, I hav the hardest time understandin what rappers say

[thebigwic]

That was fricken awsome

[akrulla]

Love love love this guy! Truely amazing lyrics, great voice and rhythmn. Nice tunes. :)

[MrLeftfootrightfoot]

Ummm

[MarxDezix]

Thank you for introducing us to this talented young artist. I checked out his channel and it is worth subscribing too.

[zenigel]

SWEET!Love the song....YO YO YO! :))

[Krazed2Kraze]

Don't like the music genre but the lyrics make it completely worth listening to. Good to see modern artists actually singing about Atheism rather than selling out and adding "Jesus" in every second line so all the drones will buy their album.

Of course, some artists are actually religious enough to warrant that... Can't decide whether that's better or worse.

[dismutased]

Now that's actual hip hop! It's got something to say, loved it! :D

[Neeboopsh]

anyone who can simply say they dont like hiphop, certainly hasnt heard enough. I'd say i am not a big country fan, but that doesnt mean i dont like all of it. there are talented musicians from every genre who make good music.

[1RadicalOne]

I cannot say I like the music, though it is nice for a change from "Won't you listen to reaaaaaassoonnnnn..."

[PaleoClipper]

normally I hate hip-hop...but hell, this one actually speaks truth, and not prattles off some made up story about how you got high and shot someone.

[amazingbollweevil]

Wow! I don't much care for hip hop, but maaaaan, I like THAT!

[Turbolego]

*added to ipod*

[tuberofyou1]

that was a great song

[ShalloeThought]

Shit ... Im converted to "rap ? "

[valsotto27]

it sounds kinda like tupac

[Henysheadonwall]

Fantastic song. Love the lyrics!

[MarcoArsenault]

awesome lyrics

[reddog22000]

I'm not really into rap, but damn I can dig that. Really well done. :-)

[Herearetheundead]

Word!

[hossrex]

Nothing says "intellectual enlightenment" like a media of music most frequently characterized by people presenting the demeanor of purposeful ignorance.

I defy anyone to dispute that sarcastic quip.

[bozzutoman]

@hossrex —  No dispute from me.

When one steps outside the boundaries of an accustomed ignorance in any media, by presenting a more sophisticated demeanor within that form, one demonstrates intellectual enlightenment.

[hossrex]

@bozzutoman

Yet, while certainly more in the domain of emotion instead intellect, a person can hardly be faulted for having a negatively charged predisposition towards the music created by... and for... the most ignorant of all American stereotypes.

Clearly not *all* rap is bad... I don't mind some of it... but... ugh... this is more like something someone would expect to see on a channel named "C#RI$T $UXXOR$420"... not here.

[bozzutoman]

@hossrex — LOL. I'm half tempted to search for that channel.

[sendvic12]

my new rington

[CamillaCalamity]

I never expected that this show would have any significant black following.

[MarxDezix]

That was awesome! Kicks ass! The whole thing!

[cristianfcao]

Here's a GREAT fundie remix:  /watch?v=GH4Tk8G02xA

[Bekll]

That song is ROCKIN'!!

[shandcunt]

Thats fuckin awesome bro!!!

[Dionysus187]

Mot a fan of the current state of the genre, but I was very impressed how well he was able to take those points and make them flow very well without losing the message. Very nice. Reminds me when this kind of music had a message throughout to be heard instead of just being good for 'dancing to'

[rustedromeo]

@Dionysus187 I was just about to post that exact thing in almost those exact words. couldn't agree more!

[sansdeity420]

@Dionysus187 the genre's fine. try spending five seconds looking up some underground artists.

[Dionysus187]

@sansdeity420 State of a genre usually doesn't include the parts that are unseen by the masses. If acres of land are barren its not considered 'fine' because there is a couple of square feet that's usable. Might want to consider stowing the hostile attitude and taking your own advice about other styles of music as well. - Sincerely, a metal fan.

[kneegrow2727]

Also, I highly suggest listening to Greydon Square. he's a semi-famous atheist rapper.

[kneegrow2727]

Aesop Rock has a fantastic line in one of his songs: "If the Jesus piece around your neck is bigger than you pistol, it makes homicide okey-dokey, and your god will forgive you."

[petehjr1]

Truth.

[houkou1]

Wow that is a surprise amoung the sea of booty shaking and whore slapping there is a good Hip Hop song. It is like how rap has the same problem but then there is that small amount of good rap.

[d3st88]

@rationalwarrior

I'm glad you are getting some well deserved attention! Cheers, mate.

[xXAnthony619Xx]

[d3st88]

@MsWanderer1

Ah lol, rap and hip hop is not about shouting, swearing and calling the listener nigga. I'm sad people are not intellectually honest or adventurous enough to realize that by their own.

Just fucking check out Nujabes or shing02 on YouTube.

[MsWanderer1]

@d3st88

Sorry that you're not INTELLECTUALLY sensitivite to humor JAFI..!..
