In da Crisis: Greek hip hop of sold-out generation

As talks continue to try to find a resolution to the euro zone crisis, RT has found a group of people who are cutting through the political rhetoric and telling it how it really is -- Greek hip hop artists, "Soul System." There will be no finance ministers' meeting before the leaders' summit in Brussels -- a sign that there are doubts that that EU leaders will be able to come up with a rescue package on their own. While hopes for a political way out of the crisis are fading, "Soul System" are finding inspiration elsewhere. Their political rap lyrics have been striking a chord with the Greek people. "We play at the protests and in the squares. The situation in Greece is really tough -- everything has reversed from what we used to know a few years ago.We say with our own lyrics how we perceive things that are happening in our society," says one of the musicians. Whilst performing in unison may come naturally to the group, euro zone leaders have increasingly been failing to sing from the same hymn sheet.

@PlayingGilly Eurozone and european union should never have been established

If the Portuguese, Greeks, Irish ..etc continue to accept these bailouts, they'll end up being trespassers in their own country ! You should protect your countries from these loan sharks, don't let yourself being bullied into accepting more debt and more hardship for your people!

im starting to believe the EU has been made with the sole purpouse to collapse, to put the ideea inside the europeans heads that a union is impossible and not good, lets face it, who outside Europe wants a united Europe ? Germany alone in ww2 almost conquered the world, but no mather what, i still want to see a united Europe ! Long live Europa !

@ApocalypticAang I fail to see how you can state that the P.I.I.G.S are all lazy/greedy? How can one categorize a whole nation of human beings? There are undesirables in every nation! Judging as a whole based on the actions of others does not make any logical sense! Be it naive or greedy, in the end those providing the loans new well ahead what the consequences would be, this is by design, not by accident. There is a major movement for consolidation - financial, governmental, religious, etc.
