[bruwesiumol]

[SirQuantization]

My friend did a presentation for English about this song. It's a great song for any assignment to do with history, basically.

[TYFLOL]

[trane2ify]

[The01fix]

[Saber192]

@The01fix we don't care about some random minecraft server especially on a good rap song...

[DrakoXize]

WTF is up with the top comments about teachers?

[xxspartanxxz]

@DrakoXize i think the rapper is actually a history teacher aha

[maxninja09]

@DrakoXize Must have some really cool teachers, i heard this song when i got the album. Really deep message here.

[daheatz]

Lol I wish Mike was my history teacher :P man this song is awesome!

[Rocknrjiii]

Still gives me the goosebumps...

[Tr0PICxtHuNda]

[Xmvtjets96X]

[GhostMan1408]

[Kennedy8397]

[IPyroManiiakZz]

my mate asked me the other day ... whos your favourite rapper and without hesitation i said Mike SHI-F*CKI*G-NODA

[BioformerCorviz]

Wait M. Shinoda is part Japanese!?

SCREW YEAH! GO ASIANS!

[ThatMysteriousguy123]

@BioformerCorviz no you fucking idiot

[inferno33222]

@ThatMysteriousguy123 Yes he is, he's half Japanese. Don't accuse someone of being wrong and curse at him unless you have your facts straight.

[inferno33222]

@BioformerCorviz Yeah, I think he's half Japanese and half Russian.

[pussycattacyssup]

@inferno33222 His father is Japanese-American. Dunno about his mother. I don't think he's got any Russian in him though.

[MioO5O4]

@pussycattacyssup His mother is Russian-Hungarian. That would explain his 140% skill

[inferno33222]

@pussycattacyssup Maybe not, but I thought I read it somewhere, but I don't really know. Whatevs.

[mcmtaged]

after listening to this all i gotta say is....wow... that was amazing...

[Surrender103]

Can you say me , how much this video costs in the Shops ? ;) Sorry ^^ My english isn't really good , so i don't know ,if the sentence is correct. :P

[xBringMe115x]

"Pearl Harbor's Been Bombed And The Japs Are Comin'" What we did was wrong, but I can understand why. Paranoia forces people into drastic things... "The evil Japanese in our home country will be locked away" The only ten Japanese spies found in our country were all white... Internment is one of the worst stains in American history, although many Japanese were ok with it because they said "The harassment and public murders that would have happened would have been far worse." But still...

[wildfire759]

@moeyano I imagine the experience would've been relatively the same. Let's ask Mike to explain it for us! :D

[cardgamefool99]

Shared this song in front of my history class in 11th grade (thanks, Mr. Thomas!) Still remains just as emotionally harrowing as when I first heard it years ago. Also, "I used the word 'Jap' in the song Kenji for historical accuracy. As we all know, this word is not acceptable today. Do not mistake its presence here for an indicator that I think it is cool. It is not." - CD booklet. Peace, M. Shinoda. Peace. :)

[TheGodfather569]

they are so nice!!!!!!!!!!



[KamillionaireMusic]

I love FM and LP, Mike Shinoda is awesome, I made a cover of this song and right now and I hope you guys check it out! :)

[IceWarriorsArmy]

You can't even see any of the red on the likes/dislikes bar.

[Number1troll79]

3 Dislikes? They HAD TO have missed the like button.

[johndoe2955]

@Number1troll79 or they were Nazis/Kamikazes that are still pissed cuz they lost...

[wildfire759]

@johndoe2955 Are you serial? Kamikazes? You are aware that Kamikazes were the suicidal pilots for the Japanese, eh? I think you meant Nazis/Japanese.

[philly4all]

i like rap. but it gets old hearing money money money money sex sex alcohol money im the shit sex i get girls sex. but mike, he raps about real shit. like this. and hands held high and just about everything he raps in. my three heroes:danny way, chase utley, and mike shinoda

[StoryoftheYear16]

@philly4all If this is your kinda rap, with positive messages and whatnot, then you need to check out Abandonation. Look up the song Move On, and Feel. I think you'll like it.

[MegaWolf1995]

I listen to this song everyday. It's a awesome song that has a true meaning.

[spanir]

i like it :)))))

[1717171717radde]

[HLpredatorTEAM]

3:39 goosebumps for sure.

[Mrleaderkid]

fucking goosebumps dude.



[maverick00578]

fuck...why can mike be my american history teacher when we were fucking studying about Japanese people in america during world war 2

[ImaBeastItsTrue]

Win. Using as a source for history project (Freddie Mercury pose :D).

[Ibanez5991]

I'm taking US History this semester at my school. Right now, we're talking/learning about World War II. We've spent a lot of time on the events that happened in Japan and the Pacific and how it affected us at home, in the US. And every time we talk about the Korematsu vs US court case, this song pops up in my head.

[suppmarkxb]

560 likes and 1 dislike COME ON!?!?!

[rezent27]

this is a sad song and i just learned this history and it pist me off that we did that.

[samdashbee]

For this song to only have 50 thousand views its outrageous the lyrics are incredible

[samdashbee]

dislike bar = size of justin bieber's penis

[TheLousyTube]

@samdashbee

totaly stupid, boring, gay and overused comment.

and no im not a fan-.-

i cant see this anymore...under every third video this shity comment...

things dont get more funny if you use them a trillion time!

[CrazySkoolKids]

shit man.. that would be rough. i dont even know how the hell america could do that to people.

[shadgudmunson]

@CrazySkoolKids well what do you mean the mandanar is because the U.S was looking for spies after pearl harbor and fear makes people do strange things

[BCRogers16]

I get goosebumps and i cry every time. this song is absolute perfection.

[11195kirby]

I first heard this song in English class last year when we were reading a story about WW2 and it led me to listening to Fort Minor so all I have to say is: Thank you Mrs. Griffin

[111111Whiteboy]

@11195kirby are you from trident?

[shyngo]

I remember the first time I heard this song was accidentally on Yahoo! Radio. Brought tears to my eyes then and even now.

[jimmyjustinjoe]

I love pandora because it led me to this and many more songs

[amokk94]

the lyrics is just. veery touching, chills are unavoidable =/// pretty good song (YYY)

[TehPaws3D]

Listening to this song, In the beginning, I'm bobbing my head to the beat, After that, near the end, I'm almost in tears, History hurts.

[finnishfreak95]

Mike shinoda not only sings rock, but this side project is better than linkin park in my opinion. They need to make another album. Other songs have very little meaning. Fort minor is my favorite... they need to stop shit with SOB cuz all their songs sound the same, just different words

[finnishfreak95]

Who the hell disliked this? Almost 500 to 1... loser

[MrSweetizh]

@finnishfreak95 He probably accidentaly hit the dislike button, although he tried to like it :(

[1234567jenny1234567]

Tears man... This is mad dope...

They neeed to put another album out....

[Alkatrastic]

mike kenji shinoda is his name

[Alkatrastic]

I brought this into my history teacher and she said that this was so perfect because we are learning about world war 2 and peral harbor

[fallenAngel2513]

my honors u.s. history teacher played this song for us 2day in class, it was a fun class but ive heard this song b4 but i i was surprised he knew this song and now it made me like this song even more

[Rs4pk]

shinoda is awesome

he sings about facts and his life and where he growed up

and thats whats the different about him and so much other singers...

he sings about true facts and the others sing about "uhh im cool" and "yeah man this girl" (u know what i mean)

shinoda: best singer for me who is alive

[ishotthesherifswife]

@Rs4pk lol listen to cigerrete  then you might change your mind

[lars54000]

This is the perfect song to discribe what the japanese needed to live in, in WWOll

[MrKevinatorMann41]

1 DISLIKE! 1 FREAKING DISLIKE! ALMOST PERFECT EXCEPT FOR 1-1(!)-MORON!!!!

[varejao111]

awesome again.... Mike Kenji Shinoda

[SawaLie]

amazing... :(

[wildfire759]

Holy crap. I shed a tear, or seven. Mike, this has to be your best work. Just, stunning. Explained what it was like to be a Japanese person in America during World War Two better than any history book could. Just stunning.

[kirrem12]

@wildfire759 Well, in all honosty, that kid in the song was actually his dad. It's where he got the whole idea for this song.

[moeyano]

@wildfire759 what bout being american in japan??

[MrJoshK123]

This song is like a story

[rkd02tg3tm3a2gry]

@MrJoshK123 Every proper song has a story.

[iPro95]

I'm from Belgium and used to hate america because of what they did in 1945 and strike the honour of stopping nazi's. I learnt that the japanese killed more civilians of america than USA did with Japan. (300,000>250,000). And they didn't stop the nazi's. russia did the most about it.

[strichsn]

@iPro95

You hate america, cuz they killed so much japanse but you say that the japanse have killed more civilians than the americans?

what da hell?

[iPro95]

@strichsn I'm not american, yes the japanese killed more.

[strichsn]

@strichsn

i haven´t sayed that.

yea, but why do you hate the americans so much, even when the japs have killed more?

[montyjake]

I think it always affects the innocent people who have to suffer from powergames of fewer people... might have been more drastic in the past but its still happening today... still doesnt give anyone the right to lock anyone away... especially letting them believe its for their own good... i think everyone can decide that for theirselves... but this song just gives me the goosepimps very great deep song !

[mickabp]

Damn you goosebumps!

[hellfrost333]

@LPHJHguitar Na bro its like Jimie Hendrix's said their can only be peace when the power of love overcomes the love for power

[hellfrost333]

@WxtxZEGUY If you think the ends justify the means and that it was necessary to lock up innocent Americans that did nothing wrong then I’m sorry but your just another brain washed naïve fool who needs a reality check

[kidssj789]

Let it be known that, while this song makes what the Americans did to the Japanese-Americans seem bad, we gave them some space to themselves, 3 meals a day, good hygiene, etc. Now, this may not sound like a very powerful argument, but I can say that this is automatically better than what the Nazi Germans did for the Jews. They forced them into hard manual labor, starved them, didn't give them any shelter at all, and hardly ever let them shower. So before you say America is evil, remember that.

[eovenry]

@kidssj789 usless commentary

[buttaaamilkXbiiiscut]

@kidssj789 obviously it wasn'tas bad. everyone knows that. but just because it wasn't as bad doesn't mean America wasn't evil for taking innocent Japanese people & taking everything away from them. it may not have been horrible,but i know a lot of people who were traumatized by being in Manzanar.

[ManUtdBoy13]

@kidssj789 the different is that the Jews was suppose to be terminated when the US just locked them in for there home country safety

[Ztroyer105]

@ManUtdBoy13 Ok maybe its time you stop speaking,only thing that came out your month was ballshit!

[ManUtdBoy13]

@Ztroyer105 i ment that hitler plans was to kill all jews and that US just locked the Japanese-Americans in beacuse beacuse there home country and i'm not saying that US did something wrong just says that the comparens with Nazi German isen't so close.

[Ztroyer105]

@ManUtdBoy13 Ok sorry I misunderstood.

[TheAndes100]

@kidssj789 Well, look at it this way: a girl's boyfriend comes home late, drunk, and hits her a couple of times a month. Meanwhile, another guy abuses his girlfriend day and night. While the latter is clearly the worst scenario, does that automatically make what the first guy is doing okay? Of course not. Comparing the way the Americans alienated the Japanese to the treatment of the Jews, the Gypsies, the homosexuals, etc. doesn't justify the way the Japanese were forced into internment camps.

[Seanog24]

This gave me a shiver up my spine.

[Seanog24]

im actually just , getting like shivers down my back about 1. how good this is , and 2. how sad this is

[BuddhistNun]

At least this song make sence unlike every other rap song.

[hmmmwhatismyusername]

m shinodas side project is a hundred times better than 99% of music

[TheTacOToldMe2]

deep..deep...</3

[cavs735]

anyone else get the chills sent through their body when listening to certain songs by fort minor?

[blacklistnr1]

@cavs735 ...and that happens every time I listen to them

[999alex9991]

did someone can upload kenji (the interview) version?,

[JohnLeicis]

@999alex9991

you should buy the album^^

[999alex9991]

@JohnLeicis well i have the album, and the interview version is a shorter one, available on their website, as streaming audio, do you research before writing comment next time, i'm not blaiming u

[JohnLeicis]

@999alex9991

Sorry i didn't know that, i thought there is a version without the interview parts in this song

[AVGkids]

i replayed this song like ten times. =l great song but it makes me sad.

[DerDerDeineMamiBangt]

Can this person be a human? or he just don't understand the meaning of the song?

[mithridil]

@MsPeacegirl13 he is just justin bieber... he never lived those days to know the real human pain... he is a little spoiled kid that likes the spotlight shining on him...

[Taurheim]

@mithridil You are obviously mentally handicapped.

[mithridil]

@Taurheim but why? did i say smth wrong? well... it was a joke for using bieber's name... i just think that this kid will never understand the real rap... the one that has smth really remarkable to offer...

[KCRAPERSRDABEST]

@mithridil dude your a fucking idiot how can you even try an compare shinoda to that little fagget? your obviously just on here for attention and your trying to say he wants the spotlight? your a damn hypocrite you knew that comment would get noticed just because its complete and total bs.

[mithridil]

@KCRAPERSRDABEST ARE YOU STUPID MAN???? I'M WITH MIKE!!!! HAVE YOU LEARNED TO READ IN YOUR SCHOOL????????? I WAS TALKING ABOUT THIS FUCKING DISLIKE!!!!!!!! WHO THE FUCK COULD PUSH THE DISLIKE BUTTON????? YOU MUST BE OBVIOUSLY MENTALY RETARDED!!!!!!

[KCRAPERSRDABEST]

@KCRAPERSRDABEST shit sorry dude i sent that to the wrong person i was trying to say it to the person you was talking about

[supercrazyblondeguy]

I brought this in to my American History teacher. He ended up using it in class because of how perfectly it described the Japanese internment camps. The whole class was silent for a couple of minutes after it ended. That's how good Shinoda is. He stopped a class of rowdy 16 year olds cold.

[xShadedJ]

@supercrazyblondeguy Ha thanks bro I think i'm going to show this to my class and shut them up and show them who the True rapper is.not lil wayne,not drake,But Mike Shinoda the true rapper.

[emoboisrule]

@supercrazyblondeguy

same thing for me bro, sept it was world geography (sophmore stuff)

[GranTruismo4head]

@supercrazyblondeguy Damn id love to do that

[Seanog24]

@supercrazyblondeguy is that true?

[supercrazyblondeguy]

@Seanog24 Yeah, it's one of my best high school memories.

[NohtamM]

@supercrazyblondeguy I only can say; good job!

[blyrikall28]

great story tellin

[stonedmonkey42]

Im not a big fan of rap or hip hop or somethin but i love this song

[AkaDragoni14]

OMFG, ♥

[kathuzada41]

this song reminds me of hands held high

[djenuwine]

Linkin Park same style, but in better...



[Kekklekwoffers]

shame this song says nothing about how the Japanese raped and murdered a hundred thousand chinese women in 1937

[bobbyewing311]

@Kekklekwoffers he's talking about Japanese Americans... Picture Obama saying "We are going to lock up every single Arab or Muslim living in America because we are concerned about spies." then go round them all up and send them to camps. It really happened in WWII.

[Kekklekwoffers]

@bobbyewing311 ahhh.. sorry, feel like a dumbass now, good song nonetheless

[bobbyewing311]

@Kekklekwoffers nothing to be ashamed about, they don't teach it in text books and they try to keep it a secret from future generations because it was a dark time in American history from what I understand. I could only imagine how crazy that must have been. That's why Mike felt it was important to make this song, to inform people of what happened, because the government doesn't want people to know stuff like this ACTUALLY happened.

[bobbyewing311]

@Kekklekwoffers oh and I only brought up muslims because of september 11th lol.. I realized there needs to be additional context in my previous comment..
