Dartmouth Students David Rufful and Josh Riddle have become the conservative versions of Snoop Doog and Willie D. “The Young Con Anthem” chas hit over 115,000 views. Known as Stiltz & Serious C, the students espouses conservative values for hard-right homeys. The video contains such serious ganstra wall street rap as “I don’t speak lies but I spit the facts/28% the new capital gains tax/Porkulus bill lacks a few stats/The more money we spend, the more mine is worth Jack.”
Here are the lyrics empowering young republicans around the world:
Serious C:
“Yo this ones for all the young conservatives.
I rep the Northeast and I’m still a young con,
Let your voice release, you don’t have to be obamatrons.
I debate any poser who don’t shoot straight,
Government spending needs to deflate,
Your ideas are lightweight,
Ya careers in checkmate
I frustrate. I increase the pulse rate
I hate when,
government dictatin, makin, statements, bout how to be a merchant,
How to run a restaurant, how to lay the pavement
Bailout a business, but can’t protect an infant
Deficiencies are blatant, young con treatment
I stand one man, outnumbered at my college
Thank you Miss Cali for reminding us of marriage
Can’t support abortion, and call yourself a Christian
I support life, you’re a puzzled politician
Terrorists were imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay,
Now they’re in our neighborhoods, planning out doomsday
No such thing as utopia,
no government can control ya, baby ya,
Reap the benefits hard work, self reliant
Listen to Stiltz, my dude’s a lyrical giant
Yo Stiltz… make it two time… please”
Stiltz:
“I’m 6’9 head and shoulder above the rest
Liberals playin checkers, I’m playin chess
My conservative view is drill baby drill
You can say you hate me but
I’m praying for you still
My dislike for thee most def is not hyperbole
Taxes are the subject and I will spit them verbally
I’m just livin life a conservative philosophy
Sorry Hilary not a right wing conspiracy
We need more women with intellectual integrity
I’m talkin Megyn Kelly not Nancy Pelosi
My main motto is you best work hard
It’s not the hand you were given, but how you lay down your cards
I don’t speak lies but I spit the facts
28% the new capital gains tax
Porkulus bill lacks a few stats
The more money we spend, the more mine is worth Jack
The Bible says we’re a people under God,
Usin radar for radical Jihad
AIG was hooked up by Chris Dodd
A classy gift ain’t an Ipod
The standards of my crew ain’t republicans dude
I’m reppin Jesus Christ and conservative views
Study history and true conservative moves
Every single time they refuse to lose
I’m starting to see a modern day Jimmy Carter
When really nothin but a Reagan era starter”
Serious C:
“Yo, We americans son
Hit ya with some knowledge
The movement has begun
Everyone can succeed
Because our soldiers bleed, for us
I said it in the verse,
now I’ll say it in the chorus”
Stiltz:
“We young conservatives son
Hard work is our motto
The movement has begun
EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily
My views are rock solid, no chance you can break me”
Serious C:
“Phase me, make me, into something that ain’t me
Serious c… can’t nobody shake me
great like the Gatsby, poppin posers like acne
Don’t matter if your gay, straight, Christian or Muslim
There’s one thing we all hate, called socialism.
It’s loathsome, and America ain’t the outcome,
Raise taxes on the people,
And you’re gonna feel symptoms, problems
I gotta message for a young con:
superman that socialism,
waterboard that terrorism”
Stiltz:
“I fulfill the role that’s inherently mine
Teaching politics through my rap and my rhyme
I’m signing off this track with a question in mind
How will this country get its precious change in time?
Three things taught me conservative love:
Jesus, Ronald Reagan, plus Atlas Shrugged
Saving our nation from inflation devastation
On my hands and my knees praying for salvation”
Serious C:
“Yo, We americans son
Hit ya with some knowledge
The movement has begun
Everyone can succeed
Because our soldiers bleed, for us
I said it in the verse,
now I’ll say it in the chorus”
Stiltz:
“We young conservatives son
Hard work is our motto
The movement has begun
EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily
My views are rock solid, no chance you can break me”

Inspiring.
Is this what Michael Steele meant about how he thinks he’s going to save the GOP, with white uber-religious zealots trying to rap the crap the American people rejected in November? Thanks for the morning chuckle.
Never evah Liked [rap!]
I like rap and that was both simultaneously funny and nauseating. Most curious.
Thank god my son did not go to Dartmouth.
I guess the rich conservative white students now need to rap, make gangland gestures and talk “black” to gain street cred and stand up to the Man. They will get no respect from me though until they start calling each other nigga. There are unfortunately many days I’m embarrassed to be a Dartmouth grad, and today is one of them.

How horrific. I am no rap fan and stuff like this is the reason.
And then we have their idiotic politics on top of that.
Let’s stop the rap bashing, shall we please? I’m not a huge fan of the genre either, but there’s clearly some good rap out there, just as there is good material from every genre. The problem with this rap is not that it’s rap, but that its singers/composers are woefully ignorant. The lyrics are clever, for what it’s worth, but unfortunately they fall on the unprincipled side of virtually every contemporary political issue: gay marriage, torture, war, etc. And, of course, most of these ‘conservative’ positions, when held up to the most minimal of critical scrutiny (‘raisng taxes will put us in a socialist state! our soldiers in Afghanistan/Iraq are responsible for our freedom!’ etc.) completely fall apart.

I mostly agree with you. I say “mostly” because first of all, I like the heavy beat that backs up the lyrics. It reminds me a bit of the funk and soul music of the past which I’ve always liked.
I may have this wrong, but I believe the term “Rap” carries the stigma you mentioned of anti-women, hate, violence and drug use endorsing lyrics. I believe the term “Hip-Hop” refers to the less offensive, less violent strain of the genre while keeping the beat going.
My overall objection is the talking vs singing aspect. This does provide an avenue for those performers who can expresse themselves better through rhyme (poets) rather than song, but I’ve personally always preferred Sinatra to Sandburg, Motown to Milton.
I personally believe that the music is nothing more than some of the fear factor music the Cons are known to utilize in many of their ads that are geared towards scaring the shit out of people.
I also have a problem with white men who try to be all the hood, when it is obvious that this is NOT the case. How many Eminem wannabees are there?
A little off topic but I thought I would share another rap that I discovered while I was deployed. Me and my buddies got a kick out of it.
Wow. Right-wing (and most discredited) talking points and personal attacks set to rap music. I have nothing at all against rap music, but I have to admit that it makes this even funnier and way more pathetic! Yes, while Daddy’s paying for Dartmouth, Chip and Scooter are rapping about “hard work is our motto” and seriously – what is “poppin posers like acne”?? Rapping about Ronald Regan and Jimmy Carter – you weren’t even alive then!! Wow. Finally something as difficult to listen to as Ann Coulter.

‘…the talking vs singing aspect.’
——————-
Dylan was the first ‘rapper’ I ever heard.
*Pukes.
(this video isn’t popular because it’s good)
lotta and rc,
Johnny Cash. Even Ice-T says the man in black was an influence on his rap. That is all I have to say about that.
Lotta,
Dylan didn’t invent the talking blues, I think it’s from the mid 20s…
All of that’s completely unrelated to Sprechtstimme
buddhaislaughing: “Johnny Cash”
The Man In Black, The Killer and Dylan is a great combination, I did a CD featuring them for a longish commute I had to make.
********
Gyges: “Dylan didn’t invent the talking blues, I think it’s from the mid 20s…” You’re right on that count but it had a label, when Dylan hit the airwaves there wasn’t a label for what he was doing with his voice and delivery. In fact, I dubbed it rapping (to myself) in retrospect after I heard rap.
Rap was a pleasant surprise to me. I worked nights and would come home and turn on the radio and play with my ‘puter. So one morning at about 3:00am I tuned in some FM station and there it was, Rap in all its political glory. After about 45 minutes I called up to the better half and asked ‘did the FCC changed its rules so that you can say M*****-F***** on the radio?’
Gyges:
you can have Sprechtstimme style, I’ll take even Dylan over that.
Fingers on a chalk board are coming to mind as I listen.
No Beethoven, no Wagner, no Hummel?
Bron,
Sprechstimme is usually associated with the 2nd Viennese School (Schoenberg, Berg, Webern) Wozzek happens to be one of my favorite operas, so you got Berg. It’s very challenging to watch\listen to, but the last scene still leaves me speechless every time.
You’d probably like Sprechstimme better if it wasn’t in an atonal opera.
