Company Flow "Patriotism"

[drzanzibar]

Occupy!

[theweirdingmodule]

never show your face. 

[MultiSinoda]

FUCK A BRITISH HALF ASS EMCEE KNOWN AS SWAY!!!

[JayGriffinblaze]

@MultiSinoda Yeah fuck Sway, touted over here as dopeness (he has potential when he debuted) but he went the same way as many others one he won a couple awards and got playlisting. But there are many British emcees doing it (both professional and amateur) that would eat him for Tea!

[DruTraneX]

Listen to, [Canibus -The Grand Deception Channel Zero]

[JesusPriceSuperstar]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[JUSTHERE4THEVIDS24]

dawg is there any way i can get this song from you or something cuz i keep looking for it but it cant get it! aaaahhh!!! thanks :)

[JayGriffinblaze]

@JUSTHERE4THEVIDS24 Geezer, just buy the Soundbombing II CD, it's been available in stores since 1999 on Rawkus records.

[thedj93]

won't lie, the video made me laugh.

[WyldOrbit]

Fuckin El-p. Fuckin killed it. Divine status.

[DNBGuRu]

some of the sickest flows to ever hit wax. fuck I took the 90's for granted.

[SOSTacoJohnson]

? We are in the middle east for 2 reasons. distraction, chaos. Simplicity opens eyes, chaos blinds us. Dont open your eyes ever, because you might not like the corporate control you see...

[NTChamps]

The 1st time I heard this son ('99) I just thought it was cool 'cuz he was trashing our Govt. leaders.Then I started watching Free Speech TV (in 2000) & started seeing all the stuff he was talking about.IDK if this song was ahead of it's time, but I know it was ahead mine ... TRULY a GREAT song ....

[thirdshift47]

"Lock 'em up 1st then ask questions."

"Invite you to cross the border then shit on your divinty."

"With cameras mics and satellites to leave privacy breathless."

This track is indeed prophetic.But it's also informed by enough dystopian political literature as well as decades worth of reflection on the history and the implications of the military industrial complex as the US' main moral dynamic.

[thirdshift47]

Sorry-didn't mean to post that shit twice.

[WeRGod]

Yes - Mr. LIF is still making music.

[072golf]

It's a fascist state we live in, that's the lyrics.

The moneyed elite will use any Machiavellian

method to get their means across, even the

Military Industrial complex. The next move will

be the homeland. It will come wrapped in a flag

and it will carry a bible.

[xenojive]

Funny that EL-P spits all this liberalism when Rawkus was run by Rupert Murdoch's (FOX News) son

[360reason]

GREAT FUCKING POINT...but how else can a cat get his shit out there...EFFECTIVELY?

[TheWatsonGreen]

perhaps part of the reason he later wrote the line "signed to rawkus? id rather be mouthfucked by nazis unconscious"

[ecracker44]

im fuckin a blind hermaphrodite icon and convincin' you that its justice

[a2theraw]

Sick rawness wurd

[eichone]

El-P you left wing kewk. you were ahead of your time, but do you think you're liberal philosophy is going to do justice for this country? it doesn't look like it.

[ecracker44]

barack obama is not a liberal, if any thing he is just right of the center. democrats are not liberal. TRUE liberalism has not been given a fair shake in our country since around the early 1900's and even then, not really.

[360reason]

THANK YOU!

[tvboettr]

That looks like a priceless artifact!!! Stop messing with it or it'll break, sucking for posterity for crying in the sink.

El P 4 ever

[jamesck3]

My favorite flavor of gas is Mustard.

[kberg72]

word son, this is where my pain grows like pot leaves

[ecracker44]

he actually says 'poppies' - definitely a reference to the fundamentalist islamists in afghanistan/pakistan who pay us off daily in order to maintain the worlds largest supply of opiates.

[kberg72]

sorry, my house guest wrote that- he couldn't point out afghanistan on a map and he doesn't know the pain that grows from poppies (i hope he never does- methadone clinics suck) I believe opium is the 2nd reason we're there, (oil being the 1st) -  kinda hard to join a revolution when your dope-sick

[TheWatsonGreen]

...you think oil is the reason we're in afghanistan? perhaps you should just stay out of the realm of political debate...

[MuzikJunkyAES]

ROFL, beat sampled from Just-Ice's "Latoya"! Kurtis Mantronik is smiling somewhere. Peace.

[FackYOU2ube]

love it

raw

[Imnawaahla]

When I heard this on the rucus records album I was blown away!!! HOT SHIT!!!

[00majid00]

I love that break when the "Who's America!" voice sample kicks in and Mr. Len's scratching comes in.

[jeri4579]

Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious.

[fightingfan21]

credit to oscar wilde

[NTChamps]

I'm a PROUD patriot.The "patriotism" U C running rampant (in the civilians) is closet xenophobia/mindlessness & in the politicians, it's an Imperialism-induced jingoism.The "patriotism" that Wilde saw was the same ....

[Regressive78]

I viewed this to listen to Patriotism, I realized the video was looped and wasn't interested, and I got over it.. like immediately. Patriotism doesn't have a video, but it deserves to be in circulation. Honestly, unless you were 15 years studying graphic or video art, none of you whining mother fuckers could never make a video that measured up to a song like this PERIOD. Get off dude's ass and enjoy the fucking song cause I guarantee you El wouldn't be high-fiving you for "standing up 4 him".

[fgdesign2]

creative would be taking it down so haters like you won't leave dumbass comments

[museluna]

what is the reason for these bs videos? What makes u think that just because i like this song i want to see u holding a statue and looking bored? just put a picture like everyone else or put your camera tto better use and do somehing creative schmuck!

[julyzerg]

or you could just decide not to watch it, idiot.

[CriteriMakiavellici]

e' o' mal!!!

[CriteriMakiavellici]

[PublicRemedy12]

I have no idea what's this video is saying, but I checked it out because I love El-P's "I'll Sleep When You're Dead". I will check Co-Flow soon. Some say Funcrusher is a classic, I hope it is. Keep real Hip-Hop alive.

[raist2]

usually see them just throw up album covers for shit like this...it's fine either way, this joint bangs

[alexeddy]

in your face dude.... but what is it?

[fgdesign2]

LOL!!  It's stone too, my arm is TIRED. Igotmyreasons dot com!!

[fgdesign2]

LOL yeah it wasn't easy but worth it... RA was great on that track. Seriously check out my "radio" show: blogtalkradio dot com slash igotmyreasons OR now at igotmyreasons dot com!!

[drexsyl7]

[drexsyl7]

i'd rather see this video than Pharrell or 50 pence waving a fucking rolex in the air and washing a Bently with Crystal.Fucking awesome song.THE hottest shit on soundbombing.RA second hottest.

[jimmajamma2006]

yea wots the buddah head about man! LOL

[4CNik]

[fgdesign2]

[blundboy]

wtf u complaining bout his face r u fag its about the musick or not fd fock the vid just listen if u don't like it search it with a faggy pic of the rapper if horn on him find some pussy u haters

[to0nstyle]

"I would think Co Flow's fans wouldn't be such WHINERS."

word. who gives a fuck what on the video just listen to the song dumbshits.

[fgdesign2]

no shit!

[OverRideGeneration]

I suppose no one wants to see a still picture of the album cover for 5 minutes either? this isn't a video, it's just a track he uploaded so we can listen.

[fgdesign2]

Seriously what is wrong with you morons? i liked the music, i wanted to share it... if you like it too great. Make a better "video" this isn't SUPPOSED to be one you FREAKS. How about you jackasses quit complaining and make something better. I would think Co Flow's fans wouldn't be such WHINERS.

[manic486]

seriously wtf were you thinking when you thought.. "i'll just hold this face thing up to the came with my hand"

thanks for upping it but that is retarded as fuck.

[les907]

Told you so, fqdesign2. The audience speaks.

[Excludey]

A backdrop of the album or american flag or something would`ve been more appropriate.

[timmaaee]

seriously what the fuck is wrong in your head ,.... this video is the worst bullshit of any music vids i seen yet its just boring and after a while ur ugly face in the back makes me so angry .,.... i hate you... still one of my fav el-p songs

Rawkus Soundbombing II

[dopestr33t]

You should just post the song with the cover (and the lyrics) instead.

[EvilBabyStewie]

POST

THE

LYRICS

[vinylgeek]

this is a dope song thanks for putting it up! its the only way i can hear it without diggin in my crates for 20 min before i find it!

[stylesforfree]

if this video is so bad why has it been favorited 13 times, had over 2,000 views and got 3 out of 5?

[fgdesign2]

see my comments above... duh.

[stylesforfree]

I was stating the fact that this video has been given an average rating and had a fair amount of views, so I was simply saying why is everyone saying its so bad.

[leHassle]

its been favored and viewed because its the only post of the song. no offense but nobody wants to watch someone hold a clay head in front of a camera for 5 minutes.

[fourdotstatus]

GOD DAMN!!

[7ceri]

Damnnn I love this song..love the whole soundbombing sh*t

[fgdesign2]

MAKE A BETTER ONE!! im not pretending this is any good, to all the "haters" out there.... DUH!!

[magnetik297]

dope song

shitty video

[fgdesign2]

No duh, yoxhxl... I'm sure you meant films OR videos. Life lesson: you are not an ENGLISH teacher. The only reason I posted this is that there's no video out on YouTube and I wanted to blog it... I;m sure CoFlow fans deserve better but what the F is up with all the criticism... are you people dumb enough to think that I think this is a great video? The screen would be blank if the software would let me do that. Take a chill!!!! PEACE.

[yoshxl]

hey fgdesign2, here's a quick life lesson: if you're not a filmmaker or videographer, don't make films of videos.

beyond that, at least you have good taste in music.

[les907]

I was NEVER pissed off. I know you can do better and wouldn't honor El-P, Company Flow or Def Jux by arguing with you on this. Again, if you need some inspiration to give real homage to REAL Hip-Hop songs, check those videos. Re-read my posts then yours and see who's the pissed off one. And then YOU say 'peace' at the end?! Try anger management, pal.

[fgdesign2]

Gee Les ... How silly of me to take your strangely intense reaction to my apparent lack of respect for hip-hop or CoFlow, or lack of professional video editing skills, or lack of taking YOUR direction as somehow angry or arrogant. I guess next time I enter the fray I should embrace fanatic criticism more... I apologize. Feel free to put me on the list of people who don't "get you". Anger management? Look in the mirror ... you're "taking me to task" for making a crappy video? LOL

[les907]

This was/is the hottest shit on Soundbombing. But THIS was the best video you could do for it - a 10 second shot looped forever? How dare you? Go see El-P's Smithereens video and then tell me if you're video's worth it.

[fgdesign2]

Hey Les, bite me. I wanted it out there, for my blog. I'm not a filmaker or a vidographer. Worth it? Tell you what YOU do one that's better and then everyone will find it instead of my crappy video. You obviously have WAY too much time on your hands.

[les907]

And you obviously don't have enough time, therefore looping the same 10 second shot instead of investing a real representation of what song you're using. Listen to Patriotism again, the work and talent that went into it and say you're honoring them. What if some1 showed you how much they liked your work by doing the same thing. Did you bother seeing Smithereens? If you didn't want to be judged, you should've disabled comments to your video, genius.

[fgdesign2]

Why? This way I can see people like you spin their wheels and get all bent outta shape over nothing, and displaying THIER skills. Namely, being pissed off. I'm sorry my homemade, low tech video offends you so much, I'll probably check you next comment but you do have a good point, so I'm all done babysitting. Say what you want, but I doubt I'll reply. PEACE.

[smutpeddlers420]

Nice!!! fuck these internet queers!! they shouldnt even be allowed to listen to co flo or el-p
