Watching this 8 years later. I remember this so vividly from 6th grade. I’m in college now and still like to come back to this song from time to time to remember a simpler more joyful time in my life. Thank you guys for being a part of that.
I remember watching this 5 years ago in high school cause I needed to write a paper about this. Now I'm watching this now to write a paper in college. Oh how time flies
Wow. I remember watching this almost 6 years ago now in class. I really loved this song when I was younger. I'm happy I was able to listen to it again.
Person 1: "okay look we need to make a cool catchy rap song for kids/teens.. so any ideas?" Person 2: "the Great Depression??" Person 1: "Jesus Christ!!!" Person 2: "yah I guess that was stup-" Person 1: "you're a GENIUS!!"
when i saw the title, i thought this was just gonna be cringe. but honestly, this is really, really good. there were so many parts where he even had a flow like eminem. literally had me nodding my head to the beat through the entire song
Great depression is one of the saddest historical events in human kind history. Many people in that period lost work and other didn't have any food! I wish an event like this would never happen another time.
I'm Russian and I wish we had something like this for our history You are doing such a great job I don't understand why you don't have like at least 5 million subscribers because you definitely deserve I feel like I'm addicted to this song
This was very well done, my US History students were very attentive and commented 'that's cool'. Used this as part of my review on the Great Depression.
I remember in may 2019 I was in 4 grade my teacher played a great depression rap on flocabulary. I tried to find it but I got this and dam this song got me feeling that I'm in 4th grade again
Yo I remember this 6 years ago when I was in 5th grade bro years fly by so fast btw thx for the education East Lake Elementary in Chattanooga, Tennessee
Let's first set the record straight on Herbert Hoover's fiscal policies. Contrary to what you have heard and read over the last year, Hoover behaved as a textbook Keynesian after the stock-market crash. He immediately cut income tax rates by one percentage point (applicable to the 1929 tax year) and began ratcheting up federal spending, increasing it 42 percent from fiscal year (FY) 1930 to FY 1932. But to truly appreciate Hoover's Keynesian bona fides, we must realize that this enormous jump in spending occurred amidst a collapse in tax receipts, due both to the decline in economic activity as well as the price deflation of the early 1930s. This combination led to unprecedented peacetime deficits under the Hoover administration - something FDR railed against during the 1932 campaign! How big were Hoover's deficits? Well, his predecessor Calvin Coolidge had run a budget surplus every single year of his own presidency, and he held the federal budget roughly constant despite the roaring prosperity (and surging tax receipts) of the 1920s. In contrast to Coolidge - who was a true small-government president - Herbert Hoover managed to turn his initial $700 million surplus into a $2.6 billion deficit by 1932. It's true, that doesn't sound like a big number today; Henry Paulson handed out more to bankers by breakfast. But keep in mind that Hoover's $2.6 billion deficit occurred because he spent $4.6 billion while only taking in $2 billion in tax receipts. Thus, as a percentage of the overall budget, the 1932 deficit was astounding - it would translate into a $3.3 trilliondeficit in 2007 (instead of the actual deficit of $162 billion that year). For another angle, I note that Hoover's 1932 deficit was 4 percent of GDP, hardly the record of a Neanderthal budget cutter. The real reason unemployment soared throughout Hoover's term was not his aversion to deficits, or his infatuation with the gold standard. No, the one thing that set Hoover apart from all previous US presidents was his insistence to big business that they not cut wage rates in response to the economic collapse. Hoover held a faulty notion that workers' purchasing power was the source of an economy's strength, and so it seemed to him that it would set in motion a vicious cycle if businesses began laying off workers and slashing paychecks because of slackening demand.
my history teacher showed this in class, it really helped us to undestand those crazy years. so thank you:) i have an exam tomorrow, and i've learned this haha
5 stars. This rap does an amazing job at describing the great depression. There are only 2 problems. The first problem is that the pictures don’t help much in describing the depression. The second problem is that they repeated lyrics occasionally. Overall great video. this review is meme
