[sgentlemanjack112]

This is te reason the NWO ganster-fied Rap.. To steal the REAL ART and REAL MEANING

From the Music and From The People.

MUSIC LIKE THIS IS A THREAT

[ThisBonghi]

I am better for having watched this

[IxBradley]

Hey so... Yea.... What does ride the fence mean?

[Luieburger]

"Anti-gun if the shit won't bust."  Love it :D Go go 2nd Amendment! This song rocks.

[chickenleggz102]

this has got to be extremely racist.

[msfootball66]

i was going to write a big paragraph on why we don't want socialism blah blah blah, but really. most Americans want to be FREE. thats it

[deanpointblank]

@msfootball66 as an american myself, i know we're not "free". we're just dollar and cent signs to the rich company owners and CEOs. the problem with us is that we're so comfortable/frustrated with our current situation that we don't want other to hear that there are situations that are better/worse than ours. the truth of our situation is that america is coming way to close to a plutarchy for any comfort and the people are slowly losing power.

REASEARCH OTHER GOVERNMENTS, REFUSE TO BE USED

[Maziyar]

i said it... and here it is.

Anti-depressants.

lol.

This is REALITY. and WE the People are fed up with it.

The Revolution in Thought didn't end in 1968...

it just went underground

Now it is time to bring it to life.

California is america. Where have we been this whole time?

[sleepyg33]

Take issue, take a stand but don't stand in the middle of indecision or nothings ever going to change

[TugaPipeJunior]

What does "ride the fence" mean?

[Filthy59]

@TugaPipeJunior i think it means not taking a stand on issues. kind of like nuetral.

[TugaPipeJunior]

@Filthy59 Oh ok. Now the song makes more sense. 

[NoNORADon911]

@TugaPipeJunior It means shit or get off the pot,lol.

[g6u6s5]

pro- la raza saying FUCK LA MIGRA!!!

[napsterkoen]

this is facking great, what is so great about ''NOOOORWAAY''......WTF.

[welkenaamisdannogvri]

it sucks

[buksestrikk]

NOOOOOORWAAAAY

[andychappers07]

I like this song, but really, it is just propoganda.

[posajnejkwahb]

I think you got it twisted a little bit. Boots does state his political perspectives in the song but he doesn't actually try to force you to agree with them. The message of the song is simply that you have to stand for something to be able to make a change.

[divinegeometry]

@posajnejkwahb you can't force anyone to agree with you, unless you hypnotize or drug them. This is propaganda, if he didn't want you to be a leftist he wouldn't have mentioned his own beliefs. Get your head out of your ass.

[posajnejkwahb]

Someone got mad.

[uzername90]

@divinegeometry

Yes, it is propaganda. Whether you want to make the argument that he's trying to express his political views or not, it's definately propaganda in that he's attempting to convince his audience to form oppinions- any art with a political statement is propaganda. I don't really see anything wrong with that. Are you saying that people shouldn't express themselves politically through music? What an odd thought.

[highmeDCI]

The whole point of the song is that you should Participation of some form beyond treating politics as a spectator sport with winning teams.

"take a look around and be for or against, but you can't do shit when you ride the fence"

Of course his ultimate goal is that the listener will eventually agree with his political views. Not unlike Glenn Beck, It is his prerogative to use his expressive platform as he sees fit. You don't have to like it.

[23winslow23]

well put mickofthor.

[jshrckstar]

This is awesome!

[KevariGrazyInarista]

Why are some of the figures white and some others are black? 0_0 I smell racism!

[XxMeatShakexX]

I hope you're not fucking serious...

[KevariGrazyInarista]

As in a matter of fact I am. whats the big deal? so what? They aren't racists...

[XxCrAzYUnKnOwNxX]

no one explain to dis guy the stupid question hes asking!!

[Megan2Protoman]

lol is it cause you cant?

[Jerme1]

you're retarded as fuck

[viloloco5]

I don't ride the fence no more. We're bestowed with the torch to run this country next. We have the advantage of not sustaining the ignorance and bias past generations have had.

[COUPMANCHU]

I love it when he chokes out uncle sam.

[COUPMANCHU]

"WOW" these lyrics are fuckin awsome.

[jsalvo1]

schoolhouse rock shit up in here

[gavinb02]

fucking quality ! respect whoever put this on here ! peace. G

[Megan2Protoman]

no but i can make a bussiness

get wealthy and ride capitalism all the way to an early retirment *cough* while on this so called fence

[songsmadeforyou]

that's not riding the fence - thats being on the side of capitalism and supporting the idea that money is important

[Megan2Protoman]

money is important in todays society you get nowhere without it

[platypusmessiah]

yeah, good luck with that. I gues 2 billion people live on a dollar a day, becaue they don't have good bussines sense like you, huh?

[Megan2Protoman]

yep all of its the goverements fault no blame on the individual because everyones a victim or a martyr yep of course

[platypusmessiah]

oh, o.k., those two billion people who live on a dollar a day are just lazy. What a coincidance that all the "lazy" people seem to live in semi-colonial brown/black countires, and all the "hard working" bussiness owners, as you aspire to be, seem to live in imperial white nations. You either have to be rascist yourself,or accept that capitalism is rascist in itself. And unless your parents are wealthy *cough*, let me know how that early retirement thing works out for you.

[Megan2Protoman]

third world countrys arent called that cause there happy places to lives

its not racist to abserve how people behave and what areas are doing well stating everything as racistis retarded no my parents arent rich but yaknow what i wanna be sry i dont wanna struggle against a system that you disagree and im going to hurt your fighting cause or whatever your trying to do on youtube lol

[platypusmessiah]

So you are proposing that it is a coincidence, or that white people really are harder working?

[Megan2Protoman]

no im saying just saying look not all this crap is a big racist conspiracy you sound like the fuckin nazis claiming the ZOG machine is oppressing and its disgusting

[platypusmessiah]

you haven't answered anything. Why is it that Western Europe, with it's own scarce resources, controls a huge portion of the world's resources, that are being extracted at slave wages from the richest areas of the earth, that somehow seem to be inhabited by the worlds poorest people. I don't know if it's a conspiracy to think that the ruling class looks after it;s own.

[Megan2Protoman]

the person with the bigger guns is in charge its the way of the world not racism or some anti brown movement douche bag

[platypusmessiah]

So, you have have just confirmed my point The Western imperialist have the bigger guns, this is indeed the source of Western sumpremcy in the world. sSo those interested in the liberation of humanity must hope for the majority to get control of those guns, and fight relentless peoples war against the imperialist powers, until capitalism is dead, once and for all.

[Megan2Protoman]

and what good does that do? more blood shed so proven crazed radicals can lead brainless zealots in a society doomed to fail is that the point you were trying to make?

[platypusmessiah]

That second scetence of yours, seems a perfect description of the world under capitalism. Two billion starving people is not exactly a sucsess story for your beloved capitalism. The radical disasters created by capitalism, may require radical solutions. Capitalism has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of times more people then Stalin,who raised the average lifespan of his people by nearly 25 years. Capitalism is failing, not for you apparently, but for most of the world, it's a nightmare.

[Megan2Protoman]

and you will kill more for your equally ludacris solution to the worlds problems

i dont love capitalism its whats here and a pointless revolution by crazed radicals is a no better outcome in any situation

[platypusmessiah]

So that's it then? Two billion starving is the best we can do? We should just give up, and accept that this is as far as humanity can go, in terms of social progress? If socialism isn't the solution, do you know of any other logical options. I don't think fuedal Islamism is going to work, socialism is a scientific therory, it can stand against it's own failures in the past, because it is the.only feasible way forward. Socialism or barbarism, the choice must be made soon, or humanity may fail.

[Megan2Protoman]

thats what i dislike about people like you, you limit your options there is more creations of social orders that could be made or followed. And you make it seem like everyone is a mindless drone incapable of trying to help these people are you socialist buddys out feeding the starving or in there houses bitching to people like me about how another failed governing system is better than the current failed governing system.

[MickOfThor]

Socialism hasnt failed in Norway, Norway has been the worlds richest country for 7 years in a row, it has the worlds best healthcare+its free, an average educational system that is also free, lowest poverty rates in the world and most beautifull and preserved nature, most percentage of the population at ideal weight, and the people have a hell of alot more freedom than americans do, so i cant say socialism ALWAYS fails...And the times it has, i

d blame the people, not the idea.

[Megan2Protoman]

*claps* alright norway was a great example i didnt know that. but most times the people in control will screw it over there is barely ever a good uncoruppted ruler

[MickOfThor]

Which is why we have a good democratic (at least more democratic than the US) socialist government where we have several leaders and an electory prosses so fair that it outlaws political campaign-adds to give everyone a fair chance...even though i think it could be alot better than that, its still pretty good.

[KevariGrazyInarista]

No one gives a fuck about norway!

[Oiaku]

@MickOfThor

Norway isn't a socialist country.

[Xaeron187]

@Oiaku That's subjective, depending on what criterias a country must reach. It's a constitutional monarchy but many regard it as a socialist country, including many norwegians. Much like some would say Swedish is a socialist country and some would disagree.

[Oiaku]

@Xaeron187

It's subjective if you don't know what socialism is.

[Xaeron187]

@Oiaku Not really. Much like saying that no country in the world is a communistic country, because communism in it's essence it the vision of an utopian world. To acknowledge a country as communistic, you acknowledge it to be perfect. But now, a country can't be what communism strive to be, but yet there are communistic countries? Why? In the same way Norwegian is considered a socialistic country.

[Oiaku]

@Xaeron187

I advise you to read Marx. Socialism has to do with who controls the means of production, not various social services.

[Xaeron187]

@MickOfThor A lot of those stated things are subjective and I must say I dont agree with all. But it's all not far from the truth. Depends on how you put it though I guess, but it's not 'the' best healthcare in the world. But anyway, to my point; Who the hell said socialism has failed in Norway? I can see how communism could fail, taking the state by weapons in their hand; socialism want the same thing but gets elected instead.

ps: I'm responding to a year old comment, might be off about some.

[think2wice516]

@MickOfThor

I'm sure Norway's a great place, but world's richest country? According to what measure?

[Sobianful]

@MickOfThor I thought Norway is constitucional monarchy :P

[neurfreiradikale]

@Sobianful Do you know the difference between kind of government and a kind of economy, cause it doesn't look like you do.

[jaytay12345]

@MickOfThor Norway. 4.7 million people. Los Angeles 9.8 million people. Would socialism work in L.A. , Yes, and it does for the most part. The USA... 310 million people, has socialism ever worked for a country the size of the USA....no. Quit comparing apples to oranges. The great thing about Norway, is they love when Americans move there, so if America is truely that disgraceful, then don't live here. However, you know it's not that bad, so I'm sure you'll stay and whine about it.

[inkeldinky]

@jaytay12345 and you know he lives in the United States by checking his account? oh no wait its deleted! check your sources, dude.

but what I wanted to say most of all is you are right, he is comparing apples to oranges, he is comparing people to people. And some people like countries with healthcare that simply gets rejected within one term of presidency, some people love to choose between a douche and a turd, and I respect that choice.

If you like a poor system, good luck and have fun;)

[vendetta00]

Can someone explain me what riding the fence is?

[yourmotheryourmother]

lol

[DagobertDrug]

Not to take a stand on certain issues!

[t0kt0k]

Some people say riding the fence is bad.

Some people say you should always try to ride the fence.

As for me, I have no opinion either way.

[JELOWASHERE]

lol!!!! that was great

[kosemekars]

Excellent. Nader in blue states '08.

[electronicoffee3]

Nader/Gonzales for real change

[JRCN84]

Genius lyrics!

[Clayvion]

People find music they like in different ways. The people at EA has good taste in music.

[Cutchswife]

If you love The Coup please spread the word and give this group the recognition they deserve.

[16sag7]

Can we shoot them if they get so big and decide to sell out? If they get big enough the temptation will be there. Yes I like "The Coup" but I have seen so many groups ride the change wave to only give in to the money and puppet masters when they get comfortable rich.

[Cutchswife]

Well, there doesn't seem to much danger of that change happening here, Boots seems to be the same as he ever was. They guy is a genius.

[16sag7]

Alright!

[zarniiwoop]

This shit is in skate? tight I love that game, always played my own music though, hear the song on punk o rama 10

[colibri1]

Everytime I hear this song, I find myself saying out loud, "That's right!" "Fuck yeah!" "Mmm-hmm!" etc. Great song.

[westphalianprinz]

Bourgeoisie or proletariat? That's your choice of which side you support in this struggle. There is no in between here!

[IPleeDaFif]
