‘Gangsta
Government Rap’ Going Viral
“Sit
down, shut up because you have no say!”
St.
Paul, MN – A new 5-minute music video entitled ‘Gangsta
Government Rap’ is beginning to
sweep the Internet, appearing to be well on its way to
becoming viral. In the first 48-hours since it was
posted on YouTube, the video has received over 20,000
views. It has been prominently featured on the
websites of The Fox Nation, The Washington Examiner and
The American Spectator. Hundreds of Facebook posts
and Twitter tweets have been logged encouraging people
to watch the video.
The
video’s title was inspired by a 2009
column by Michael Barone in which he
referred to the federal government as ‘Gangster
Government.’ The video catalogs the federal
government’s efforts to impose an unpopular radical
agenda on the American people.
The
video was written and produced by Minnesota
Majority, a non-profit government
watchdog group. The group is concerned about the
apparent corruption and abuse of power in today’s
federal government.
The
rap is performed by Gregory Van Leer (a.k.a. The
Infidel). He has recorded a
number of rap songs with a conservative message,
including “Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.”
He is working on his first album and is currently
seeking a distributor.
“We
wanted to find a creative way to convey our message and
reach a new audience,” said Jeff Davis, president of
Minnesota Majority. “We think this video will
help us accomplish that mission.”
