Most would think that the only way these names would be seen together would be if they were on a music festival flier, but today Eminem, Ice Cube, and Korn just released a music video calling for a #waveofaction in cooperation with political activist group Anonymous last Sunday, February 15th. It seems the consciousness of political corruption has permeated every part of modern culture, even the cultural classics of the 1990’s.

According to the youtube description of the video this song was made as a non-profit project that is meant to be educational and beneficial to the community protected by the 1st Amendment as well as Anonymous. The reason they made this song was to spread awareness for a globalized call for change on 4.4.14. They want people to get motivated to make real change politically by celebrating at previous occupy locations throughout the world. Go to the website here to find out more about the movement.

The song itself was sectioned by each artist, whose section reflected their own musical style. Korn connected the entire bi-polar piece with an electronic influenced sound that is derivative politically and musically of their last album Path of Totality.

“On my birthday buy me a politician. It’s a shame that you gotta teach your children, (chorus) everything’s corrupt, everything’s fucked up everything’s about a buck, you’re shit out of luck” – Ice Cube, “Omnipotent”#waveofaction

While the lyrics were incredibly politically charged the video was also an activist creation in itself. There were videos that were displayed on control room style screens, including images from Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, and Justin Bieber music videos. They go from that to politicians smiling on television to police beating and macing people. The NSA was a constant motif throughout the entire video as well. It’s not for the faint of heart, but cultural moments like these stir reaction and hopefully this gets a reaction for positive change.

“I know the way to get them motivated. I make elevating music, you make elevator music.” – Eminem, “Omnipotent” #waveofaction



Look, I was gonna go easy on you not to hurt your feelings

But I’m only going to get this ONE CHANCE

Something’s wrong, I can feel it

Just a feeling I’ve got, like something’s about to happen

But I don’t know what

If that means what I think it means, we’re in trouble, big trouble

And if he is as bananas as you say, I’m not taking any chances

YOU ARE just what the doc ordered

Like something’s about to…

~*~ B O O M ~*~

Everything’s CORRUPT

Everything’s fucked up

Everything’s about a buck, you’re shit out of luck

I’m sick of gettin’ IGNORED, this world I can’t afford

On my birthday, BUY me a POLITICAN

It’s a shame that you got to teach your children…

Everything’s CORRUPT

Everything’s fucked up

Everything’s about a buck, you’re shit out of luck

It’s a ball of confusion

BRAINWASH MEDIA & PUPPET POLITICIAN

Keep you out of position, out of commission

By medicine or food, that’s not a decision

THE 99% IS MAN TRYIN’ TO VENT

All my people

ALL MY PEOPLE

Should not be woken

I’m the WALKING DEAD

But I’m just a talking head, a ZOMBIE floatin’

My honesty’s brutal

But it’s honestly futile if I don’t utilize what I do though

For GOOD at least once in a while

So I wanna make sure somewhere

In this chicken scratch I scribble and doodle

Enough rhymes to maybe try to HELP get some people through

TOUGH TIMES

See if I get away with it NOW that I ain’t as big as I was

But I’m MORPHIN’ into an IMMORTAL

Coming through the portal

You’re stuck in a time warp from 2004, though

And I don’t know what the fuck that you rhyme for

You’re pointless as Rapunzel with fucking cornrows

You write normal? FUCK BEING NORMAL

Uh, summa-lumma, dooma-lumma, you assuming I’m a human

What I gotta do to get it through to you?

I’m SUPERHUMAN

Innovative and I’m made of rubber

So that anything you say is ricocheting off of me and it’ll glue to you

And I’m devastating, more than ever DEMONSTRATING

How to give a motherfuckin’ audience a feeling like it’s LEVITATING

Never fading, and I know the haters are forever waiting

For the day that they can say I fell off, they’ll be celebrating

Cause I know the way to get ‘em MOTIVATED

I make ELEVATING music,

You make elevator music

“Oh, he’s too mainstream”

Well, that’s what they do when they get jealous, they confuse it

It’s not hip-hop, it’s pop

Cause I found a hella way to F– USE IT

But in my head there’s something I can feel tugging & struggling

Angels fight with devils and here’s what they want from me…

“Let me interrupt you

Justin Beiber has been arrested on a number of charges”

But fuck it,

I’m beginning to feel…

OMNIPOTENT

Never gonna run away

Seeking out my path

But the pain always gets in the way

Slowly watch me die

I’m INSANE, so dangerous

Don’t you dare get in my way

Throwing in the towel

Got me strained, so betrayed

Get the FUCK out of my way

Looking at my thoughts, I take my time

Pounding all these spikes in my veins

“New questions about the National Security Agency’s massive spy center

under construction in the desert of Utah

Once finished, it will be five-times the size of the US Capitol building”

We are the ones reaching out IN VAIN

Trying to solve our problems

They won’t go away, go away now

You’re the one that makes me feel like I’m ALIVE

You’re the one that pushes me all the time

All the time… someway

I’m beginning to feel like…

“We have reached a tipping point here”

I’m beginning to feel like…

“We have reached a tipping point here”

Ill when I speak in tongues

Aya-Yaya-Aya-Aya-Yaya-Aya-Huasca

Worldwide

Aya-Yaya-Aya-Aya-Yaya-Aya-Huasca

Wave of Action

Aya-Yaya-Aya-Aya-Yaya-Aya-Huasca

Ill when I speak in tongues

I’M BEGINNING TO FEEL…

WE ARE ANONYMOUS

WE ARE OMNIPOTENT
