I found out about this due to a reddit thread and like. Jesus christ. I was listening in the background, barely paying attention, and I thought the song was over so I was like "damn not that disturbing" I WAS ONLY 2 MINUTES IN?? Holy. Shit. I am never getting whatever part of me just died back. I am sad and broken and horrified and just.. good lord. It's a good flow, hes got a good beat, but the ending... like how you watch a disturbing film and it says "based on a true story" at the end and it terrifies you even more... jesus christ.. I need some ice water and some chocolate and a couple minutes to cry and just think about things. I don't know how I'm getting that part of me back. I thought my innocence was gone, I've been on the internet since I was 3 years old, I've seen alot of disturbing shit a kid shouldn't have and. This is so much worse than rotten or other gore sites, this is worse than the horse video or goatse or the jar video or any weird screamer I've seen, this is worse than everything. No disrespect to immortal technique, this is more of a compliment. I don't know anyone who can traumatize only in song, and the only person who comes to mind is Akira Yamaoka? His songs didn't even have words, though. This is just... insane. I can only dream of having the ability to articulate word and emotion and storytelling like this someday.
