Marxman 'Ship Ahoy'

Irish rappers… Irish political rappers. In this one they explain Third World exploitation to a nautical musical accompaniment (the song is about ships sailing to enslave people during the great age of maritime imperialism). It should not work, but it does. As music, I mean; the actual socioeconomic analysis is a bit simplistic.

    "the potatoes aren't lookin the best"

    to Irish rap format

  2. It sounds like something Ding Dong Denny O'Reilly would do.
