I caught this video last night while working out at the gym... I seriously had to stop the treadmill and watch, I was in awe and tears.

You can watch it at:

It's nice to see a hip hop artist with a real message, that is actually reaching a group of people who need to see things from another angle.

Good work Nick...

This is hardcore pro-life. Lyrics are poignant and uncompromisingly truthful.

It will get dissed right here. Just watch.

Wow, that is just awesome. Could it be that the next generation will see and admit to the truth?

[ppaul]

Thanks for listenin'.

[pangaea6]

Awesome video, and I hate rap music. Of course since its a good message it won't get much media attention, only if it was promoting abortion would it get attention from MSM as being controversial.

[ken5050]

Thanks..BTW..anyone know what motivated the artist to do this video? Was it a personal/family situation or experience?

[joesnuffy]

Hip-hop music usually gets a bad rap for its misogynistic overtones and violence

Which is precisely what this crap is abnormally about..

However this kid is different..

If it's too loud...it's because you are too old

I hate rap, hip hop,thrash,trash,60s psycho dillic,heavy metal,..

I am kinda partial to John Phillips Sousa however..

[Minus_The_Bear]

Damn. That's strong.

[BibChr]

Could each of you please ping your respective pro-life related ping lists to get the word out about this amazing story? A real pro-life music video is now the second most popular video on Black Entertainment Television. This is a 100% pro-life message using the most effective medium for the demographic that most desperately needs to hear it.

Just wanted to pin the Canteeners to this.

"While watching this video, I was moved to tears ..." Well, this old man was moved to tears just reading that a rapper has made such a video ... Life is the big romance. Thanks be to God.

I have never (before today) heard a hip-hop song that inspired and moved me. I love that song.

The country song one is allright, but I don't think it holds a candle to the Nick Cannon one, and that's coming from someone who loves country music and has never heard a rap or hip-hop song that he liked before today. I haven't been able to do a "save as", or find a useable version in my temporary internet files. Does anyone know where I can download a high quality version of this?

Truly moving!

I am no expert on hip hop, but from what I have read, the subject of abortion is addresses in hip hop more than any other type of music. Specifically, there are quite a few hip hop songs that take an anti-abortion position. I can mention a few I've read about, including "One Mic" by Nas and especially "Real Killer," by Tech N9ne. I looked up the lyrics for the later and it's quite a chilling and fearless song. I've also heard about "abortion," a song from the 80's by Doug E. Fresh, but I don't think I could find the lyrics to that one.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Good news bump.

I remember seeing a Black video that had a vague pro-life message several years back when the Box was still on cable. The abortion occurred but the whole thing was one of sincere regret told from the man's viewpoint.

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Thank God something has come of rap!! Personally, give me rock, metal, country, or Irish folk any day!
