ihateswine and I were just lamenting the waste of talent that is Thelemic Rapper Scholar...he could have taken that sharp wit and talent and made something inspirational. I mentioned these wacky Germans as a good example of interesting and inspirational rap. Now this is NOT your typical Western Rap or Hip-Hop...more a blend of those two styles with Industrial; but the message is CLEAR AND RIGHTEOUS!!!
(sorry about the weird anime scenes...please try to ignore them and just listen to the lyrics)

Check out these lyrics...UBER-INSPIRATIONAL!!!
Stand Up by Stromkern
Now the people on the left let me hear you say,
that you're sick of them lies and you're not gonna take it.
And now the people on the right ain't no time to waste.
Gonna start it off now; bring it on; now bring it!
Now the people in the front let me see those hands up,
stand up, and demand some answers.
What! Come on can't you hear me in the back?
If you can't let'em know and we'll turn up the track!
So come on...
This is a song dedicated to the lost.
Triggered by the light and embedded by the holocaust.
Well you prayed for daylight and it never came?
So you better start praying again!
Well it's not a psychosis and it's not a relief,
and it's nothing for certain and it's not a belief.
It's just a sad fact, we maintain the illusion;
I want a solution,
we want a revolution!
Well I always though it would synchronize,
that maybe I could find another place or a time;
and there's so much at hand that I don't understand.
Let me just demand that we all better take a stand!
Give in once, well you're giving in twice;
Give them your freedom; like you're giving them the Light
But they can't keep the secret, cuz they know they're wrong.
And they can't keep us down, cuz we're too damn strong!
Now the people on the left let me hear you say,
that you're sick of them lies and you're not gonna take it.
And now the people on the right ain't no time to waste.
Gonna start it off now; bring it on; now bring it!
Now the people in the front let me see those hands up,
stand up, and demand some answers.
What! Come on can't you hear me in the back?
If you can't let'em know and we'll turn up the track!
And an enemy yours; is an enemy mine.
But I'm just not sure if I'm wasting your time.
If I could concede to your nature, then I'd give it a try;
but I gotta project or I gotta deny.
Nothing is wrong here, but something ain't right;
I don't feel this; I'm not seeing this.
Something ain't happening, plus I got a feeling.
Don't make a sound; keep your eyes on the ceiling!
It's fully automatic; and I know I used to have it.
And I wanted to let it go; but wishing won't make it so.
Nothing's gonna save you when the chips are down;
nothing's gonna save you if you don't act now.
But the current effect is like a curdling sound;
and the event hypothetical, is it better than now?
And the action on the trigger's just a state of your mind;
And the action or a reaction is just a matter of time.
Now the people on the left let me see your Faith
well we start it off slow then we'll pick up the pace
And now the people on the right ain't no time to waste
Been a long time coming; but you hit the ground running
Now the people in the crowd let me see those hands
Cuz we're so hardcore and that's a price no one understands.
What! Turn it up! Can you hear me in the back?
Right now is when we testify; so we can never die.
Right now is when we testify; so we can never die.
So we all pretend we're oblivious;
perfectly serious,
when you tell me that you needed this.
Never know what you're gonna find.
Never know what you might have left runnin' behind.
I can tell you what it won't be;
another web of confusions;
of lies and illusions.
You can't imagine the half of them
petrified,
genocide,
masterminds,
worlds that they've undermined.
It's a place, it's a time, it's a lifeline;
It's a chance to atone for a lifetime.
Reach your hands to the sky when you testify
Put'em up, keep'em up; until you realize.
Killing them once is like killing them twice.
Killing with something that's a killing device.
If your killing them slowly; then I'm killing them nice
If it's killing your after...
Well, alright!
Now the people on the left let me hear you say,
that you're sick of them lies and you're not gonna take it.
And now the people on the right ain't no time to waste.
Gonna start it off now; bring it on; now bring it!
Now the people in the front let me see those hands up,
stand up, and demand some answers.
What! Come on can't you hear me in the back?
If you can't let'em know and we'll turn up the track!
Now the people on the left let me see your Faith
well we start it off slow then we'll pick up the pace
And now the people on the right ain't no time to waste
Been a long time coming; but hit the ground running
Now the people in the crowd let me see those hands
Cuz we're so hardcore and that's a price no one understands.
What! Turn it up! Can you hear me in the back?
Right now is when we testify; so we can never die.
Right now is when we testify; so we can never die.
Right now is when we testify; so we can never die.
