A conservative rap video which claims to reflect true conservative values is quickly becoming a cult success and going viral.

"The Young Con Anthem," created by two Dartmouth students, has received more than 90,000 views and has made it to The Huffington Post, USA Today and a variety of blogs across the political spectrum.

I found this article on FOXNews.com. There was a thread posted about the video in the bloggers forum but apparently went unnoticed. The link takes you to that thread with some of the lyrics.

A lot of people will disagree with me on this, perhaps it’s my age showing through, but Rap music has been so vulgarized by those who have specialized in it, that I won’t even dignify a rap song by listening to it.

Its a pretty fun video and a lot of good points.

I’m with you.

I don’t like rap myself for much the same reasons, but that was funny.

Some of the digs they got in at liberals were hilarious.

I could see that as an effective tool to reach some people who might not otherwise listen to a conservative message.

I’m with you. I hate rap. I could only watch about 15 or 20 seconds of it before I had to close the window.

Rap is crap

Thanks for the link; post. Very, very nicely done. Worth a look BUMP!

Thanks guys.

[bboop]

We hate it, too.

I think that it’s something that could appeal to other college students.

I give them credit for taking a stand like that and not hiding it.

The reactions of the libs, the death threats and all, show that it hits pretty close to home.

Ping to post 15 to find the lyrics. They’re even funnier now that I know what they say.

Generally not a fan of rap, but it’s about the content that what turns me off, but this is righteous!! More, please! This is what we need to reach a younger voter bloc.
