Eff The Tories Freestyle by NxtGen

Found this "freestyle" rap the other day, from a Brtish rapper who calls himself NxtGen. I put freestyle in quotes because while could be rehearsed, as it is performed well, but it does not matter to me if its off the dome or written, because the actually rhymes are pretty amazing. Enjoyed it a lot, really appealed to the leftist in me. In the beginning he introduces he wanted to perform for SBTV, a British live music channel, but was never called back because of its strong political nature. Here's the vid.


Some Particular Lines I enjoyed in it~

"This is not a recession blood, it's a robbery."
A direct reference to the banker's bailout, fat cats still are fat.

"... Yet that is there project, putting public money into private pockets."
Just clever word play, public to private.

"What kind of society is this when pigs are profiting off dying kids."
Uninsured children not getting the care because it is too expensive, a crying shame

"You actually believe these hypocrites, hating people on benefits and demonizing immigrants."
What a damn true rhyme, and this is why the richer continue to get richer, because people really do believe these things, the social demeaning of the poor and equating them to economic parasites. Class consciousness has been subdued, it needs to be woken up.

Good stuff, been stressful at the homefront, had some good talks and some deep thinking kind of centered myself to a good place. Been playing more music too, its really great.
