Will Youngboy Never Broke Again’s Song ‘All In’ Replace the National Anthem?

The current national anthem of the United States of America, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” may have competition. A teacher apparently led her students in a recital of the rapper Youngboy Never Broke Again’s song. Now, this was a short video that looks like the job of a troll. Let’s just say that the teacher and class were sincere. What does that make of our current culture?

Hip hop had a chance to become a philosophical genre and culture. Now, it is a cesspool where anyone can enter the arena and almost anything goes.

In the video, the focus is on the instructor as the students speak the lyrics to the tune. Is this a nod to the fact that the American teacher is exasperated and is seeking ways to educate the young by relating to them? Or is this just another stunt for views online to boost profiles?

In any case, it appears as if the teacher is sincere if not totally engaged with the idea. Youngboy Never Broke Again is living his American dream. He is laying down with the finest of women and impregnating them to the amount of at least nine confirmed children sired.

If this is the behavior of a twenty-year-old basking in the glory of riches and fame, should we not celebrate his achievements in the recording industry?

With all of the nastiness and backbiting and fighting that pervades the Web, it is somewhat refreshing (again, if it’s true) to see a teacher interact with her students on the level of understanding what they’re listening to away from the classroom.

If it is at all possible, maybe the trend will spread to other schools around the country and the world. There might be a outpouring of support for hip hop and rap to be included in daily rituals like pledging allegiance to the flag. This kind of activity is questionable at best and inappropriate at worst. How are minors, very young at that, supposed to offer allegiance to a flag they have no idea of comprehending what the words recognizing it actually mean? And even if they comprehended, they couldn’t put action to the words as mere kids. Children ought to forgo pledging to almost everything until they grow up to be eighteen-years-old.

Now, in America, a country worth pledging to or reciting the national anthem, it should be hailed in solemnity. What this teacher allegedly is doing with these students is bizarre. It’s also jarring and utterly confusing. If this is real, it could become fashionable but only if parents allow their children to speak the lyrics which contain some explicit language.

Youngboy Never Broke Again has a following, no doubt. He has accumulated millions in streams and can boast top views on YouTube. If he has such a reach for the youngsters, maybe he could pen an actual song that would further expound upon struggle, outline a purposeful way of overcoming such struggle, and glorify victory.

He could be able to bring to the fore all sorts of ways to distinguish himself in the rap game through such a song. When he is able to reach the age of maturity, he may wish to consult public officials and persuade them to allow him to update the anthem.

For all the ways that rap has been destructive, distortive, and disruptive, it can serve as a continuous method for young men and women and particularly of the foundational black American (FBA) set to realize their own dreams.

The classroom is the ultimate battleground for the soul of this country. It is symbolic of not just the fight over government and private education, but the very minds who are not the future but the living, the inspired, the now. The teacher featured in this clip may be onto something in rapping a song and using it as the anthem. She, if this isn’t played for laughs, would make Francis Scott Key approve.
