"Open Season" - Stuck Mojo

Now this rap has a message I can get behind.

Despite the clear targeting of radical jihadi terrorists by the video, YouTube Islamists are having it suppressed. I have some experience with "moderate Muslims" objecting to my own work (until Vinnie resurrected it).

Via Stop the ACLU.

UPDATE by Ragnar : From the band's website:

So What Happened?

Honestly? We don’t know. But it is clear that someone in an administrative position at YouTube does not like the message presented in the video. The best we can tell is that “Open Season” has been banned from appearing in any of the “Honors” categories and appearing on the lists. The simple fact is that the videos on these lists are highly visible. In essence, they receive extra promotion for being popular. Apparently, this does not sit well with them in Stuck Mojo’s case.

I can confirm that this happens on YouTube. When it happened to our video "Flight Club," I was open to the idea that it was just a glitch. Now it's looking like a pattern. Looks like they don't have the cojones to ban them outright, but they don't want them showing up on the front page and upsetting the Islamists, so they quietly game the system. Chickenshits.

Update By Howie: Lyrics below the fold. Hat Tip: Mark

Open Season
Music: Ward
Lyrics: Aborn, Nelson
String Arrangement: Eric Frampton

I speak peace when peace is spoken,
But I speak war when your hate is provoking,
The season is open 24-7-365, Man up yo time to ride,
No need to hide behind slogans of deceit,
Claiming that you're a religion of peace,
We just don't believe you, We can clearly see through,
The madness that you're feeding your people,
Jihad the cry of your unholy war, Using the willing, the weak and poor,
From birth drowning in propaganda, rhetoric and slander,
All we can say is damn ya

My forefathers fought and died for this here
I'm stronger than your war of fear
Are we clear?
If you step in my hood
It's understood
It's open season

I don't need a faith that's blind,
Where death and hate bring me peace of mind,
With views that are stuck deep in the seventh century,
With so much sand in your eyes too blind to see,
The venom that you leaders preach, Is the path to your own destruction, Your own demise,
You might say that I don't understand but your disgust for me is what I realize, Surprise!
Your homicidal ways has got the whole world watching, Whole world scoping,
So if you bring it to my home base, Best believe it, The season's open

My forefathers fought and died for this here
I'm stronger than your war of fear
Are we clear?
If you step in my hood
It's understood
It's open season

I see you, Hell yeah I see you, Motherfucker naw, I don't wanna be you,
If you come to my place, I'll drop more than just some bass,
Yo you'll get a taste of a, Sick motherfucker from the Dirty,
I ain't worrying not a fucking bit,
I'm telescoping like Hubble, Yo you in trouble, Yo on the double,
I'm wild with mine, Bring that style with mine,
Fuck with my family I'll end your line,
Just the way it is, Just the way it be, Do you understand?
No matter if you're woman or man, or child, My profile is crazy,
That shit you do doesn't amaze me, I'm ready to blaze thee

I don't give a damn what god you claim, I've seen the innocent that you've slain,
On my streets you're just fair game,
Like a pig walk to your slaughter, The heat here is so much hotter,
And my views won't teeter totter or fluctuate, Step to me you just met your fate,
And I'll annihilate, With the skill of a Shogun assassin,
Slicing and dicing precise with a passion,
In any shape form or fashion, Bring it to my home,
Welcome to the danger zone, Cause your attitude's the reason,
The triggers keep squeezing, The hunt is on and it's open season

It's Open Season

My forefathers fought and died for this here
I'm stronger than your war of fear
Are we clear?
If you step in my hood
It's understood
It's open season

4 Re:Open Season what a powerful and talented
message.
Even if the message has to be conveyed through our young people what a way to send it loud and clear with Stuck Mojo.A great musical arrangement and a great rapper.Wish I could shake your hand.
I am an activist against Terrorism
If your band is ever in Detroit, I would book you a gig & pack a house venue to see you in a minute.I have my former husband who is serving in Iraq he was kidnapped 56 days today.He is an American Iraqi Soldier.
So the messsage you send it clear all too clear.I am also a musician myself.You need to go on the Tonight show or a huge publicized Tv station an
play that song as you do in your video.I will help you..Thank you for such a performance.Please pray for my soldier.Ever see the movie about radical Islam called "Obsession"?For anyone who wants a copy I will send it to you myself.However,the message needs to be sent to not fear and stand up against Radical Islam.I would say the American public needs to wake up and watch your Video.
GREAT MUSICIANS AND OH SO POWERFUL..Thank you.

5 This youtube censorship is pathetic!
Check the comments for this vid.
Not only it the hit counter mysteriously stuck at 27,111, but the user who uploaded it seems to be part of that youtube glitch that causes a search of their name to come up "no videos posted".
Total coincidence I'm sure.

9 Definately not the Stuck Mojo of old...I don't think that was the old lead singer "Bones", but still a very cool song. Stuck was probably the first rap/metal band ever. Very cool...

10 It's utter bullshit that you tube and other sites are banning or not giving it a chance.....Yes the messege is powerful but its what needs to be said!!!

Round of aplause to the mojo crew!!!!
