I thought his channel was taken down a while ago. Do you have a link to this song?
I dm'd you the video links because the song is very racist.
Here's the news article for everyone else. (cw racism)

I appreciate it! It's probably enough to just do a spoiler and cw it, but that's your call.
::: spoiler Speaking of, cw racial violence
Wow, it's amazing how they just replace the old feature with a black guy to say "look, we don't mean Klan activity!" while getting all the more aggressive about the noose imagery. And the black rapper's name is "Tom Uncle". jfc this is way beyond what I thought Forgiato would ever do, but he makes it super clear by only specifically mentioning two cases, both where a black guy killed someone and a torrent of white fury followed. It's so fucking bad that Youtube is allowing this new version up when the second verse is far from necessary to establish what the song really means.
