Holy crap this video is good. One issue I have with modern hip-hop is its lack of social relevance--too many songs about the joys of wealth or the desirability of potential sex partners. Perhaps the future of good hip-hop is in the hands of guys like these Iranians, who use their music to demonstrate their anger at what Ahmadinejad's regime is doing to their country and their lives!
ReplyDeleteAlso, that shot of an Iranian guy pissing on a picture of the Ayatollah was absolutely priceless.
If you ever find or make a translation of the words to this rap, I'd like to read them!
hi

Wow. I really did enjoy every single word of this song, specially when the Low voices goes, agha poshte bange, refering to Khamenei and his Opium Addiction.
ReplyDeleteThese Guys, CyrusMafia according to Wikipedia on PersianRap is an iside Iran group, consisting of several members, many of them anounymus and unknows, other membernames such as Fer2.30 and Shir is known.
These Guys really took Persian Rap a step further with this song. Great!!!
