BackWordz- Be Great (Official Music Video)

[@laurenbabic]

Eric's speech strikes such a chord and brings me to tears. It's been a privilege working with him over the years on musical ventures with myself and my band. It's amazing he was finally able to clear the air and get that off his chest. It's been a dream of mine to share the stage with him, and I hope to one day. This song represents the honesty an artist should put forth. You have 100% of my support. BackWordz for life.

[@kotalight4657]

the two of you have to tour together at some point! possibly ft on one another Songs,you guys throwdown so well together!

Yes, because generic nu-metal with a capitalist twist (not really a twist, they're just more vocally transparent about it this time) can be considered anything but garbage. These guys haven't done anything that hasn't already been done before. They aren't going anywhere. 20 years ago, maybe. Now, however, not fucking likely.

I wont even lie metalcore/hardcore and rap are my 2 favorite genres. This is pretty legit.!! Also, TAXATION IS THEFT, support Libertarian artists!

[@blackraptor1154]

Taxation isn’t theft, it’s a give and receive. You give a piece of your earnings to the government and you are given governmental services and goods. Now, if ya wanna talk shop on if a person should pay taxes for things they do not directly benefit from (schooling, I hear, is a big one), that’s a whole different matter. But if you think that you giving money to a government that protects you, builds for you, and sometimes will die for you then you’re delusional.

Good to see you guys crushing it in the name of freedom

I've watched YoungRippa on KZbin for years and never knew he had a band. Usually KZbinrs' bands are embarrassing ... I can't believe I'm saying this, but I love this! It's like all of my musical tastes rolled into one song. Well not ALL, but you know what I mean. This guy is talented as fuck, politically intelligent, and has an amazingly talented band with him. I even liked the 2nd vocalist... that almost never happens. I'm blown away. I can't remember the last time I heard a metal song I liked this much. I thought it was becoming a lost art.

Ok.......I feel like an idiot for living under a rock and just seeing this. I always wondered what happened to the OG vocalist of FFTG. I knew the new guy wasn't it...wasn't him. Then I see this and am completely satisfied getting to hear more from Eric and then he sits down and drops a damn nuke on the whole question I was asking myself of "where did he go and where did he come from?" 🤣🤣 one of the coolest things I have ever seen/heard and I knew just from his work he had to have seen it all already. He is obviously a special type man look what all he has done always had drive even before times were good. I don't care how many views FFTG gets or how many deals they make THIS is REAL and counts for more than the mainstream bullshit everyone else is after. RESPECT 🤘🏻🤘🏻
