Aside from the popular underground artists like JMT, Outerspace, Cuninnlynguists, Move.meant, Revolution of the Mind, Celph Titled, etc...

Mr J Medeiros - Constance


Constance is a story about a girl in the Philipines victiminzed by Human Trafficking. It was created by Sam Sanchez of Stick Productions in 2006. Also special thanks to Nakeism Labs. It has spread like wildfire via YouTube, and has inspried an international human rights movement called the "Constance Campaign." Mr. J spearheaded the movement, And has partnered with Non-Profit's like IamComing.org, XXXChurch, and HumanTrafficking.org. In May 2007, Constance was featured on CBS Evening News in an expose' on internet pornography


Looking at the comments MTV did not accept this video. Why?! They would rather play modern rap which is garbage and talks about sex, bling bling, money, but why would they reject a music video that actually talks about a real, ongoing issue? The media is just so...pathetic.

Enjoy the song!

Lyrics below:
+ Show Spoiler +
An old man vacationing,
He stands patiently,
Under a hotel sign that blinks "vacancy".
He's thinking maybe he's too late to make the drop off,
Until a truck comin' his way breaks his thought short.
And now he's out of sorts, you can see he's sorta nervous.
Walking to the passenger door to meet his ordered service (?).
"This is someones daughter working" blinks his conscience,
when the driver says "she's my youngest, her name is constance."
He comments "And it's only six dollars a visit, just don't leave any marks on her, it hurts business."
Thought for a minute, and confessed "Thats fair," sense it was three dollars less than his cab fair.
"How old are you honey?"
She says "I'm thirteen,".
Her nose is runny, it's raining in the Philippines.
He handed over the money in a chilling scene, the truck drives off and now he's on a hunt to kill her dreams.
The sign blinks "No Vacancy".
He leads Constance to her room, he is ready for tapin'.
See, he's about to turn six into six thousand.
And all you gotta do is click on your web browser.
It's not illegal to use rapin' as a cash crop, as long as it says she's 18 on your laptop.

The sound of rain is the backdrop,
layin' there,
like she's waitin' for someone to say they care,
while the tears of God fall down the window pane,
she feels unholy, like the Father doesn't know her name.
Mary Magdalen, and the women at the well, he knew everything that happened,
and in His arms she fell.
(In His arms she fell fell fell)
(Will you stay with me?)

He's 21 and all alone in his household,
He's tempted by the quiet he feels and the mouse he holds.
The silence of his spouse is cold,
so he's about to help that man get his six thousand gold.

One click and now she's sold,
Withholding his conscience,
Scrollin' through he comments,
There she is looking confident,
A picture of Constance and a series of video clips,
"Adult content."
The title blinks in bold letters, like the vacancy sign,
it's his time to go get her.
It's like his mind doesn't know better,
Her soul is cryin out "Let me go" but he won't let her.
He's got her trapped inside his media player,
Held captive by a need to be player.
It's a matter of he bein' here and she bein' there,
Thats why he doesn't feel the need to care.
Guilt is in the seed he bears,
Fillin' his shares of the profit on a 500 million dollar market where children are regarded as product,
and traded like stock tips,
and raped for the sake of our pockets,
His laptop sits like a window into Constance's room,
where he exits cause it's almost noon,
and he's expecting his wife home soon,
with new clothes for the baby,
she'd be angry if she saw his new lady,
a 13 year old Filipino named Constance.
Trust me girl, God has not forgotten.
He knew Mary Magdalen, and the woman at the well.
He knows everything that happens, and in his arms she fell.
(In his arms she fell fell fell)
(Will you stay with me?)

It's simple really, people don't like to be confronted with what goes on in the world. Everyone is against human trafficking but instead of doing anything we'd rather ignore the issue because it's an easier way of dealing with it, that's human nature. MTV doesn't want to lose viewers so they reject it.

People who watch MTV only give a shit about their own unique personalities anyway! You know. stuff like breaking up and fighting with parents over allowance which they can relate to. What a sad little culture, but hey what are you gonna do....

wow that was dope. I doubt the people who own MTV (i think its viacom) dont want to put any underground type of MV on MTV. which is kinda sad as MTV use to be a way to find new (good) music.

MTV probably won't allow the video cuz they have slaves of their own.

really nice stuff. i love hip hop songs with a story/message. my girlfriend is half filipino so im gonna show this to her. everyone else pretty much summed up MTVs stand point though...

on an off topic note care to recommend so more underground artists (i like JMT, Celph Titled, Apathy, AOTP, Demigodz, Cunninlynguists, Klashnekoff, Terra Firma, Immortal tech, Plan B...) pm me if you dont want to derail the thread

also, some other songs with good stories

@OP: The rap sucks which is why no one gives a fuck. Who cares that it has a message when it makes me cringe to hear the fucking whack shit. That's why its not on MTV. His flow sucks and its not even like the lyrics are any good. Plus, the content is boring. It's a whiny song about stupid shit. Like songs with a "message" usually are. Go join a volunteer organization if you're so adamant that people should hear lame songs about "important" garbage. Because posting on this forum isn't really doing anything.

Tupac was rapping about real issues and also had commerical success. i mean the guy is hailed as the god of rap..

Brenda's got a Baby
Brenda's got a Baby

I hear Brenda's got a baby
But, Brenda's barely got a brain
A damn shame
The girl can hardly spell her name
(That's not our problem, that's up to Brenda's family)
Well let me show ya how it affects the whole community
Now Brenda really never knew her moms and her dad was a
junky
Went in death to his arms, it's sad
Cause I bet Brenda doesn't even know
Just cause your in the ghetto doesn't mean ya can't grow
But oh, that's a thought, my own revelation
Do whatever it takes to resist the temptation
Brenda got herself a boyfriend
Her boyfriend was her cousin, now lets watch the joy end
She tried to hide her pregnancy, from her family
Who didn't really care to see, or give a damn if she
Went out and had a church of kids
As long as when the check came they got first dibs
Now Brenda's belly is gettin bigger
But no one seems to notice any change in her figure
She's 12 years old and she's having a baby
In love with the molester, who's sexing her crazy
And yet she thinks that he'll be with her forever
And dreams of a world with the two of them are together,
whatever
He left her and she had the baby solo, she had it on the
bathroom floor
And didn't know so, she didn't know, what to throw away and
what to keep
She wrapped the baby up and threw him in the trash heep
I guess she thought she'd get away
Wouldn't hear the cries
She didn't realize
How much the the little baby had her eyes
Now the baby's in the trash heep balling
Momma can't help her, but it hurts to hear her calling
Brenda wants to run away
Momma say, you makin' me lose pay, the social workers here
everyday
Now Brenda's gotta make her own way
Can't go to her family, they won't let her stay
No money no babysitter, she couldn't keep a job
She tried to sell crack, but end up getting robbed
So now what's next, there ain't nothing left to sell
So she sees sex as a way of leaving hell
It's paying the rent, so she really can't complain
Prostitute, found slain, and Brenda's her name, she's got a baby

Baby

(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)
(don't you know she's got a baby)


In summary, rap needs more tupac.
