'Gangsta Government Rap' Going Viral

"Sit down, shut up because you have no say!"

ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --  A new 5-minute music video entitled ‘Gangsta Government Rap http://www.gangstagovernment.org/’ 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 http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/White-House-puts-UAW-ahead-of-property-rights-44415057.html 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 http://www.minnesotamajority.org/, 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 http://www.gangstagovernment.org/infidel-music/). 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.”
