Whats the purpose of the "NWO?"
Who are "they?"
What have "they" done?
Where are "they?"
If you can answer one of these questions Ill eat my words.
....Here is a dose of truth... They wouldn't be fighting you. It's not like a bunch of raging, gung-ho citizens would just go all "Annie got her gun", storm into Washington D.C. and face off against Obama, Cheney, Bush, and Napalitano on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. They don't fight. Their kids don't fight. Our kids do. They get OUR kids to fight their wars.....

All it would take would about 1/3 of members of Congress to be free from the influence of a major party to have dramatic changes take place. Right now we have two people pre-chosen for us and we are tricked into thinking this is a choice.
The hard part is convincing enough people to wake-up. Once that happens, all they need to do is vote.
That's not true. The system is broke and needs removing and built up from scratch. You can't just vote in a good guy, that's naive
Pray tell, how exactly is it naive? It's always worked in the past.
Oh right, you're going to say that the votes are rigged and our votes don't matter.

As I've read through the replies to this thread, I am disappointed with the number of "you cowards" posts. These reactions totally miss the point of the OP as well as totally avoiding the very real implications of armed revolution. A total disregard for the realities.

Sinking in yet?
In an armed insurrection we would, effectively, be fighting ourselves. And the top 2%? They wouldn't give a damn. Somebody once said "You can always hire half the poor to kill the other half.". And, unless some huge paradigm shift occurs, that is exactly what a large scale rebellion would accomplish. We'd just thin out our own numbers FOR those in power.
In my first post in this thread I pointed out that money is the key. And I believe, wholeheartedly that this is true. Money is the heart of this beast... Money is its blood. I am not being "liberal", "pacifistic" or "cowardice" in saying this. I am being coldly, viciously, and strategically expedient. If we all simply opt out of the status quo, the status quo dies. Quickly. Opting out, and refusing to play their game cuts their throat and robs them of their power.
But, hey, if there are some who think that they simply just have to pull a Rambo and go out in a blaze of glory, long before such extreme measures are even remotely called for... meh... so be it. There's nothing brave or noble about throwing ones life away in a spasm of gratuitous violence.

Well most people who listen to grime are imbeciles. Your lyrical content is poor and your flow I'll tell you for a fact doesn't exist.
People who listen to Chipmunk might think you can rap

Your entitled to your opinion but I don't know ANYONE who likes my music who also likes Chipmunk.
Chipmunk is a sellout who was never grimey in the first place.
My flow is superb, my Lyrical content is amazing. That is just my opinion and pretty much everyone else who has listened to it. Apart from yours obviously

Are you kidding me? Your lyrical content is cars, girls and how big you are on road. Your flow is non existant. Just generic street rubbish over badly made beats. Sums up Grime as a sub-genre pretty well.
Jehst has lyrical content, Phi Life Cypher have flow. You posess neither. Keep at it though, there's definately a market for that kind of stuff.

That's music. What you do is make noise. You're to Hip-Hop what Avril Lavigne is to Rock music.
...The voting I wouldn't say is rigged, they don't need to rig it, merely win with propoganda and influence. It's like throwing a midget in with Mike Tyson, it's never a fair fight. The suggestion you can just vote in a good guy is naive, there's no two ways about it....
Resistance is futile. You must OBEY!! I know this sounds silly, but just how close do you think we are to this.
I don't mean to piss on anyone's bonfire here but do you really expect a violent revolt to work?

This was feasible when the common man had access to the same firepower as the military, and one wasn't completely dependent upon the nation's infrastructure.
These days though, a violent revolt in almost any modern nation simply a) wouldn't have enough participants to matter, b) be quickly outgunned, and c) be doomed to failure within moments of starting.
And, unless some huge paradigm shift occurs, that is exactly what a large scale rebellion would accomplish.

You funny ass (Insert word here).
Cheers for the criticism but you have not dented my ego (Which is rather big, obviously).
There is plenty of hype about my up and coming mixtape, in my town and with people who have links in the grime industry.
I'll keep you posted and link you up when I have some new stuff up, all that stuff is old and amateur compared to my new material, my new stuff is something else.
Thanks,

Edit to add - Oh and I don't gas nowhere near as much in my new lyrics. Just truth.edit on 26/10/2010 by TechUnique because: (no reason given)
