I dare everyone to listen to this song and not shed a single tear.

This is probably the worst genre to tell a story in.
Or, one of the worst, rather.
This song is just wasted potential. The music is annoyingly repetitive, the swearing is tasteless, the lyrics too fast paced and rhythmless. But the worst is the repetitive music.
That FUCKING piano.
That FUCKING drum beat.

Oh hey, this song.
I've never been that impressed with Immortal Technique as a musician, but he does tell good stories and this one is no exception. Not a tearjerker imo, but it definitely has an impact. It's the sort of thing I more look at grimly than cry at.
That thing someone posted about the pet is more likely to make me CRY, because it invokes one's inner child and reminds one how it feels to see death for the first time. It makes you remember your early days, back when you cried more easily, and thus is how it works. Immortal Technique is obviously talking about something more important, but it's definitely a story by and for adults, so it's less likely to make one cry.

N.B: I included the Jewish option as a 'self-hating' joke, people.

Dude, you're missing my point, I don't feel guilty at all. Not even slightly. I'm a white Australian, I've known three black people and been friends with all of them. I feel no guilt nor do I have any reason to feel guilt for the situation other people find themselves in. That's the point I'm making.Instinct Blues said:
You need to stop calling everyone racist because they have a different opinion to you. You also need to stop lumping white people together, believe it or not we're not all the same person, I can tell you right now you and I are quite different.
Or it could be because you tried to tell everyone your opinion in the most ham-fisted, unsubtle, asinine, condescending, and downright insulting way possible. People don't react well to being called "ignorant" or "racist", I find. Or being told "you won't listen because you're too privileged". Or that your opinions are "too difficult for everyone here to grasp". You really need to work on your approach to these types of things. :/Instinct Blues said:
Because it isn't my damn fault. I'm a half british half lebanese lower-middle class 15 year old who's family came to Canada 9 years ago after having lived in South Korea and then Lebanon. I fail to see how it's any of my problem what fictional wanna-be gangsters, who don't even live in the same country as I do, do with their lives, when neither I nor anyone in my family has ever been in a position so at to be capable of affecting the lives of people like him. I don't have the privilege to forget because I don't have anything to forget. And even if my great grandfather had been some southern slave driver, then I still wouldn't give a shit, because I had nothing to do with that. You need to stop thinking that white people should feel guilty simply because people who share their skin color used to do bad things. There are white rapists too, do all white people have to go apologize to those rapists' victims? Fuck no, that's stupid. And most of all, you need to stop thinking that bullshit like this song is in anyway representative of any community, because that's just offensive.Instinct Blues said:
Not to mention that I never even stated anything that would imply I'm white. For all you know I could have been a black person myself, because not liking over-dramatic hip hop songs =/= not being black.

Yeah, pretty much this.Risingblade said:
It all just turned into a white noise around the half-way mark. I think the only thing worth mentioning was the violin. Other than that, it was far from tear jerking.
He's not being racist you twat. He didn't like the music due to its lack of content and poor execution.Instinct Blues said:
I though it was a good song, and I feel bad that I didn't cry if that was a true story. I think some of the guys here are a little to harsh, OP. This song is pretty cool.
I didn't say you said those things, I said I have been accused of that before. Usually to my face, not on the internet. I think your arguements may be valid in one or 2 small pocets of community, but you appear to vbe masked by that. You have multiplied your small experience so that it becomes your view of the world. There are bigger issues out there fella, watch the world news sometime, go experience the world. (You don't need money for this, I know people who have travelled Europe and Africa just be hitching lifts and doing odd jobs for people in exchange for food. Anyone can do it.)Instinct Blues said:
3 Minutes so far. Not giving a damn.
5 Minutes... It doesn't have long to get sad.
Twenty seconds later, the revelation. This is it?
6 Minutes 20, seems like the song's over. Waste of time, to be honest. Somebody, somewhere might think that this garbage is profound. I am not that somebody.
