So the guy who says

It sounds like the mix is messed up - the music is too loud and the voice is too low, though it gets better as it goes.

It would help if they put the lyrics in the video.

Otherwise, from what I can hear it sounds kind of cool...

Bad. Not as in "you bad, mofo." Just terrible music, and worse rap. Given that the music sounds like a bad rip-off of the Tomb Raider movie soundtrack, I'm assuming this guy is about 35 years old and white. If not, he should be embarrassed to be black.

It was about the content and even he said that. I am sure with better studio production in a professional setting he could tweak it better.

Yet another person taking that out of context.

People use labels, DUH. Under no illusion that that will stop. But "fuck labels" is in context of how humans make that a priority instead of what we have in common.

If someone is going to say "I am a Christian" or "Muslim" those denote the "on" position on the claim of a god. I hold the "off" position on god claims which is denoted by the label "atheist". Nowhere will you find me ever say that because I do not share the same label, that we are a separate species. We are still the same species.

GZA isn't a "christian rapper" or an "atheist rapper" but he has a pretty bad ass song about the Bible. It's an honest evaluation of biblical principals, warts and all.

Yeah, it sounds like this guy is prioritizing his "Atheism" pretty thoroughly though. The title specifies that this is "Original Atheism Rap", which implies that he's making a pretty big deal about it.

So, why are you advertising this guy when you could be promoting Humanism to Christians, because, you know, we have that in common with them.

He's sharing a song with us that he likes the lyrics to. Jesus christ.

The lyrics were too soft in the beginning of the track. Had trouble hearing what he was saying, but I could just be getting old. The snares drown out the bass line. Nothing some Reason and Redrum couldn't polish up. Was this a a first cut or something? It sounds like they clean it up towards the end.

Seriously!

Brian, I really hope this guy gets a better sound guy. Sounds like he's passionate, and from what I can hear, some of his lyrics are spot-on.
