I voted for "Love It" only because there wasn't an "It's ok" option. After hearing the brother explain the concept of the video a couple of weeks ago, I can understand where he's coming from. He asked a friend of his how can he appeal to the youth of today. He was told to make a "crunk" song. The requirements were: 1) A Catchy Hook 2) A Lot of Aggression and 3) A Lot of Cursing. Sure he could have gotten his point across in a different way but this is the way he chose. Can you name a crunk song without those 3 things?

I found that very funny. Sadly, alot of that is present in our society. That whole "Your Body Needs Water" part had me crying. I know alot of people who drink soda like its water with the reasoning that "O, soda has water in it, so I dont need water. "I hope people can look at it in a positive view and take something from it. If you saw yourself, in any of those situations, you can change it. Its not too late to change.

I love the song! Granted it has a bunch of parents looking down on it because of the language, it still carries a positive message. My favorite part...."RAISE YO KIDS, RAISE YO KIDS! RAISE YO GOT DAMN KIDS!!!"-----**** I think he should do a remix and talk about subject verb agreement. "CRANK THAT PROPER CLAUSE!" "CRANK THAT ADVERB!" "CRANK THAT COMPLETE SENTENCE!" YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULE!
