I like this song and the video but then again I have an open mind..natives don't ALWAYS have to sing indian music and this isn't any ordinary "rap" song they put an indigenous twist to it which I think makes it very creative..I am grateful that natives are getting out there and doing what they are good at instead of sitting on the rez doing nothing about it! I appreciate that we have some native rappers out there and I enjoy War Party especially!

I feel shame that indigenous peoples would resort to black trashy ghetto "music"?.
