"my pedastal was to tall to climb off, infact thats the reason for the high horse" and "if they could sell sanity in a bottle they'd be charging for compressed air and marketing healthcare ...demonized welfare" those lyrics are fucking amazing
i cant agree with you guys more, when i first got turned on to this cat it reminded me of a sence of purity in purpose that i first got from graff and punk rock and indie rock back in the early 90s. all i can think is the more things change and all that.
i remember most of it "Give me ethnicity or give me dreads." it was more of the idea then the words. oh and: "Who's the one to blame for this strain in my vocal chords? Who can pen a hateful threat but can't hold a sword? It's the same who complain about the global war, But can't overthrow the local joker that they voted for." god dam
He is famous as an underground rapper. but i don't think he's going to get a more mainstream sense of fame.. he's ahead of his time, and a lot of his beats are very progressive (i love the beats) but 70% of listeners won't appreciate that. conscientious rap is usually too abstract for most.
"You're all, "Give me ethnicity or give me dreads." Trustafundian rebel without a cause for alarm, Cause when push turns to shove You jump into your forefathers arms. He's a banker, you're part of the system, Off go the dreadlocks in comes the income." WHAT!!! A+++++
You can't forget Nine Inch Nails. Those guys have a song called "Capitol G" talking shit about George Bush(Jr) and Survivalism, talking about how the government silences the music.
ya thats the one when uncle ruckus gets cancer(and is about to die) and starts speaking on how bad black are. also it's the one ware huey's friend in jail is about to be executed but is saved just in time.
@iDeaTHeoRyi yes emo, as in emotional. The guy did a whole 3 albums about his depression issues and girl problems.. and the only people who listen to shit like this are confused white kids who get all net-emo over someone who makes a comment about how misplaced this guys music is over The Boondocks. Artists who would make sense to be in this video.... Gil Scott Heron, MF Doom, Blu, Fashawn, Pharoahe Monch, Pete Rock, Dilla, Madlib. etc. Now Im off to go rob a bank.

He's actually behind his time. His music is like back in the day when people actually cared about shit.
He's so fuckin ahead of his time
@@CrucibleOfHate You're right! 15 years later and people care about shit again. Thanks Zionists!
Great song. I'm very impressed.
One of the best AMVs I've seen.

Listening to this song is almost spiritual. It brings "rap" to a whole new level.
more relevant than ever, 9 years later...fuck
sage is great
Well done! You really got the lip-synching with the music astonishingly well.
sage francis needs better publicity, and so do the boondocks, so thank you so much!!!!
thou you're input true, I like that these things are known mostly by people who can truly appreciate them.
Tight, definitely on point!
Actually, just to be a general wiseass, the name of the song is 'Slow Down Gandhi', not 'Ghandi'. I'm holding the album cover right now.
THANKS ENZO FOR THIS VIDEO!
"If sanity was being sold in a bottle they be charging for compressed air"
godly line

"You're all, "Give me ethnicity or give me dreads."
Trustafundian rebel without a cause for alarm,
Cause when push turns to shove
You jump into your forefathers arms.

Off go the dreadlocks in comes the income."

Still a sick song
You can't forget Nine Inch Nails. Those guys have a song called "Capitol G" talking shit about George Bush(Jr) and Survivalism, talking about how the government silences the music.
Was this beat sampled or is it original?
Great song and and okay video, although I doubt I could do any better.
Wings. First. Not stop.
All I wanted was a fucking pepsi
What's the cartoon you used for the video?
'Boondocks' is the cartoon, it's on Cartoon Network's 'adult swim'. Good stuff.
thanks a million ; )
No problem ;)
2:24 Jeeaaah!
Yeah it is now, but it was misspelled earlier.

They would never use a song by a white/jew guy on this show.

@MaskedEmrys You're wrong.
@MONCTEZUMATAMARINDO bro i have no idea what you are saying.

Boondocks..

Do you not understand the messages he presents?
Lol. You seem to have signed up three months ago and spent your whole day commenting on Sage's videos and then disappeared. Trolling?
@iDeaTHeoRyi yes emo, as in emotional.

I flamed the hell out of the Naruto vid w/ this song in it. Stupid kids raping good music with bad anime...
Your original comment is ambiguous and hard to follow. Please don't call someone else an idiot ....
Wings
