This is a message to the youth

[Comrade Marcel]

This piece is a work in progress that needs to be put with a beat.

This is a message to the youth

Intro:
This is dedicated
to all those who think
they don't have to give a fuck

Chorus:
this is a message to the youth.....

time to drop the lumpen shit
welcome to the revolution
time to get down with it
time to pick up the book
time to pick up the gun
hold the red flag high
the bourgeois is on the run

this is a message to the youth.....

you've got the cell phone plugged in your ear
40 between your legs driving your car with no fear
you'll never get pulled by the pigs white guy
you've never been worth more than a couple of dimes
gold chains, you walk like a duck
middle finger up, you "don't give a fuck"
life with your parents, middle class lamer
talkin' 'bout guns, but your just a gamer
and you've never even fired a real fuckin' gun
but I know some women who can show you how son
in the Philippines comrade sisters in the NPA
they can slap your stupid ass up any fuckin' day
So stop talking your hard shit and "bling bling"
it's getting tired and old, don't prove a thing
the revolution starts with your mind, your colonized
the way you think needs to be ostracized
oppression and occupation exist through pop culture
hip-hop cadavers being picked by capitalist vultures
welcome to the Revolution, it's the only solution
we need to end exploitation and prostitution
you perpetuate oppression of women, by using terms like ***** and ho
even you female MCs act like you don't know
Hoe is fucking term that meant to label women as property
implying you are nothing more then a sexual commodity.
the bourgeois destroys and exploits from culture like that
even classical music was an invention of the proletariat
it's time for us to reclaim the shit....

[Chorus]

Hey yo, Nas ain't no fucking idol to me
he preaches for a black nationalism
but it's still capitalism
we want internationalism
proletarian communism
dialectical materialists
fucking atheist
no fucking agnostic
if a god did exist I would want to abolish it
I'm well read and ready to die
until I do the red flag's what I fly
My comrades at my side
inspired by love, life & pride
we're the ones that bring DRY
we make Spartacus cry
Think you can stop us? Just try....

[chorus]

I bring new style, I'm an analyst
something new for you, I'm a Marxist-Leninist
bourgeois can't deal with this
here's my diagnosis
your rhymes are wack and atrocious
my flavor is delicious
no other rappers say the shit I do
except for "dead prez" and the comrades in "the coup"
do a search on kazza or gnutella
your rhymes are plain vanilla
like telnet in windows
I've heard better rhymes come from imbeciles
your marky mark and your funky
your like milk gone chunky
like Microsoft your product is shitty
my rhymes are better and more witty
you should be exiled like Trotsky
your no Gretsky
more like John Wayne
all this "bling bling" is getting lame
send it to the gutter
it's all redundant mutter
the comparison to me, is like margarine to butter
If you want to get anywhere near me, you will first want to read
your stuff is meaningless with no substance
and I bring shit with mad abundance
Every time I get faced with opponents
they get put on the shelf like old components
cuz, when I talk politics
you have to be like ballistics
because my rhymes hit like riddles of bullets
try to argue and get left full of holes kid
youth and students unite
join the fight
leftist revolutionaries
armed with books and dictionaries
united under 12 points
going through books faster than joints
Rebel Youth Network, what you never heard?
we're taking over KKKanada, so spread the word...

[chorus]

you're like a fuckin' Realian
trying to clone what Eminem is sayin'
your recycled rhymes are pathetic
my style is majestic
your like king of the hill

(in the background:
"reactionary")

you need to chill
your style is old and corny
your like the one known as prince formerly
you can change your name
but you still be the same
try to play the gangsta game
but your just lame
trying to diss me?
I bring rhymes you can't even see
I'll treat you like Spartacist
you can't deal with this
slap you with my red book
hit you with a left hook
like the fascists, on these streets that we done took
walkin' with your head down and scared to look

(in the background:
"Scared to death and scared to look
They shook,")

yeah and you still act bad
but that's just your breath,
my crew is Young Left
I go to rallies with a bullet proof vest
and wear a Mao pin on my chest
I'm coming from the city, you know the tower
shouts to Genetix, Glendower
Decipher-Red Youth
kicking the truth
cuz we be living proof
every head needs a roof
social housing they won't make
so a squat is what we take
we support our troops like PFLP, NPA
FARC-EP, Shining Path and IRA
we will fight to the last drop of blood
in the trenches and the mud
raise your red flag high
we will gain victory or we will die
fighting for socialism
teaching dialectical materialism
abolishing private property
moving away from a market economy
we want a classless society
with no pigs and no money
think it can't happen? I know it sounds funny
but if you study Marxism
then you understand capitalism
if you study Leninism
you understand imperialism
we need to treat KKKanada like fascism
crush it's colonialism
maple leaf tentacles wrapped around the First Nations
KKKanada's troops occupying the Haitians
Quebec independence, Native sovereignty
stand up and fight for dignity
like revolutionaries in Oka who brought drama
we need to all stand up like Lasagna....

[chorus]

the gangsta thing is over
you'll never own a range rover
gold chains and gold teeth
only get you buried 6 feet deep
for trying to be gangster
but your like a prankster
you and your peeps
you have no guns and no jeeps
no 20 inch rims
you're at home playing sims
no hanging out in fancy bars
no driving fancy cars
just like the rest you make $6.85
doing whatever just to survive
step to me, I'll treat you like Trotsky
assassinate you and your fake posse
my knowledge is superior
you are inferior
I'll steal your car and shit on the interior
think your a thug
your just a tiny bug
you think your Montana
I'll run you down in a Lada
crushin' Honda civics
cuz they makes me sick
fake gangstas, think your stars
in your shitty ass cars
made in a shop with no union
when I see a SUV I want to ruin it
take an ak47 & put gun shots in to it
now go away I have another matter
I attend to things swiftly
I get rid of enemies easily
and am guided by the masses
I was out in Montreal kicking WTO asses....

[chorus]

we live in an Imperialist country
'Canada,' you say, 'how can this be?'
Just look at the inequality
look at the nature of our society
those who live off of others have a lot
those who work the hardest have not
those in the middle are sinking
the economy is shrinking
we need total change not reformism
no more corporatism
band-aid solutions
make no changes to institutions
revolution is the only solution
all power to the masses
free health, dental and glasses
free and non-eurocentric education
through socialist manifestation
much respect to OCAP
for beating the crap
out of the system
like immigration is sending them
no one should be illegal or sent away
but it happens everyday
take a trip to the Heritage Inn
they imprison them in
labeling everyone as a terrorist
or "without status"
excuses of the fascist
lock us all away
who will be the new enemy today?
whoever gets in the way of profit
we've got to stop that shit
U.S. hands off Cuba
and cheers for Chavez and Lula
free the Cuban Five now and Mumia
what does it take to get through to sum of ya?
don't you understand oppression
life means more then possessions
it takes a lot of stealing to make 1st world nations
sweatshop exploitation
working Haitians
making 50 cents per hour like genetix said
the only good fascist is dead
some like to live in Klanada but it helps kill em
selling weapons from our manufacturers to the villains
yo, bourgeois, it's to late for concessions
we are gonna bring the whole motha' down
make you pay for all repressions
if you are on the side of capital your an enemy
you want to die on their side like a lackey?
in your sweatshop cloths
with your fake ass gangsta pose
do you shop at the GAP?
yeah, I bet you like that crap
child labour, sweatshops
protected by the cops
Nike does it too
don't believe me? it's true
read No Logo, Naomi Klein
from Haiti, Grassy Narrows, and Palestine
Imperialist occupation is a crime
to Afghanistan and Iraq
heroic resistance will always fight back!

Thanks.

Just got to put it with a beat now.

[che's long lost daughter]

Wow. That is really powerful. You mentioned something about the Philippines and I am interested why you mentioned it because I am Filipino.

[Urban Rubble]

No, you're philipino =)

Good shit dude, I really actually liked it, though I don't approve of the support for the Shining Path and the IRA. But yeah, I really liked it, it was too long to critisize !

[che's long lost daughter]

:D I remember that urban Rubble.

[DORRI]

I didnt have time to read it completely,but what I read was excellent,comrade!
I gonna copy-paste it and read it all as soon as possible.
btw,i'm not native english spoker,so can't critisize it professionally,but as a simple reader it had a grea effect on me.

[Eastside Revolt]

It's sick I hope you put in on the net sometime.

[Hate Is Art]

if it's sick you should get a doctor or something!

[Non-Sectarian Bastard!]

Very nice and powerfull. However I do not approve all your lines.

[Saint-Just]

Its good. I would definately want to hear someone performing that.

[DaCuBaN]

Let me know when you've put a beat behind it so I can get the track from you, as if you don't mind I'll do a folk cover :D

[Eastside Revolt]

I'd sudgest you put it to grand master fash's the message. It's a long beat that you can easily download. It's also perfect beacause you rhymes seem to have a slow flow, that would go well to the beat.

[pandora]

Not into the gun theme or the support of the shining path, but the low down on sweatshops rocks.

[cubist]

i like it i reckon i could spit it to drum and bass with a minor modification as well,

yeah send me a copy of it when done to a beat to mate :)

[MiniOswald]

aint shining path the crazy peruzians with the machetes?

[Nas]

i think it was good even though you got facts combine with your opinion, like for example , what you said about Nas, hmmmm i think you misunderstand him,
Black Nationalism (which doesn't mean Capitalism) is what he wants but thats what not the only thing he wants, Nasty Nas is a lot more than Black Nationalism, mi querido amigo :redstar2000:

-------

based on content :

some of your opinions are combine with facts and vice-versa
i think you got a little carry away with the dissing and yourself
(i think its too long, you should take some of the dissing and yourself and put it into another song)

overall its good (3 mics)

[Nas]

by the way , shining path are more like Pol Pot rather than Che Guevarra

even though they act on the name of Communism :(

[BOZG]

Pretty good. Most criticisms have been already mentioned, I'd add criticisms of including Lula in it and the anti-Trotsky stuff aswell. =D It looks pretty long but depending on how it flows to the beat, it mightn't actually come out that way.

[FatFreeMilk]

I'm feelin it!
Love to hear it when it's finished.

[Inti]

I like most of the text pretty much, even though it has some things that I completely dissaprove of (the shining path killed lot of my wifes relatives who were innocent civilians). It seems to have a pretty good flow as well even though its a long ass text:) Keep on working and tell me when its done:)

[Fawkes]

I definately think it's good. I'm not into the whole Shining Path thing, but I have nothing wrong with the IRA.

[Cassius Clay is back]

Wow I thought that was amazing!

Just read it the first time and you can guarrantee I'm gonna read it more than once again.

Wow.

But just one thing as someone else said. Have to question your criticism of Nas. He's one of the better mainstream rappers outthere.

Have alot of his albums and your right some of the time he does go of on the whole 'bling, bling' thing. He's what I called 50-50 though, alot of his stuff is also what you'd call 'progressive' even 'revolutionary' and to have kids listening to him is alot better than listening to 50cent.

[bunk]

Nas must be the most confused person in music. First albu mhe's calling for revolution, next album he's criticising back to africa. Then he's hanging with Puffy with a fat chain. He tried to get commercial appeal, nastramadus, oochie wally... but it didn't work so he had to try again on conscious stuff

No, you're philipino =)
No, she's Filipino. It's spelt with an F when you're talking about people from the Philipines.

[Mesijs]

I think it's quite bad, and I got some argumentation and opinion about it.

1. Content
OK, some if it is your opinion, and I do NOT agree with it. Like supporting mass murderers and butchers, but OK, if you support them, it's your choice. Second I think you're contradicting yourself. You're talking about fake gangsters and shit, but you're talking of yourself in that same way, like shooting SUV's with ak47 and talking about dead bourgeois etc. So your against fake gangsters but portrait yourself as a fake gangster. Also, you keep repeating yourself about who you don't like. Plus you don't really have one theme. You're against fake gangsters, pro-violent 'communist' movements, destroying bougeois things etc. It would be stronger if you focus on one thing.

2. Length
Way too long.

3. Rhyme
Weak. It's just rhyming the last word all the time. Also very easy rhyming, try to be more complex, like rhyming the last 2 or 3 words, rhyming more words in one sentence etc.

4. Flow
Inconsistent. Some very very short sentences, some long sentences following right after. When rhyming things, make the sentences more or less the same length.

5. Language
I wonder if you can rap anything smoothly. Also try to be original with language. Use some wordplay, think of some symbolism etc. Don't just keep saying things on and on because it get's boring and unoriginal.

[Ander]

The last verse (?) was the only decent one.

I thought the rest of it was very weak, it looked like you were just trying to find things to rhyme and not think about whether they made sense or not.

[Little brother]

It's about time. I'm not a fan of hip hop. But that was awesome. really hit the right spot. Sure some of the gun stuff sorta hit the wrong nerve. but the rest was great. can't wait to hear it.
