WTF: Speak the Hungarian Rapper: "Stop the War"

The world is being torn apart by zealots and fanatics who insist on pushing their worldviews on others. We need a hero, and now we have one. His name is simply, poignantly, Speak. He is a man of indiscriminate age who has so internalized every "yeea," "come on," and "tha's right" of the rap music he loves that he spills these words like the blood of the slain to whom he pays tribute in this labor of love.

Speak is an enigma, paying his respects to 2003 in a video for a song that may not even have a title, a video that only recently resurfaced. Though four long years have passed since, his message transcends the boundaries of time. It is a message he, true to his name, spoke, to the world at large: "I don't want a war. I just want a peace." If you close your eyes, you can still see him, pigeon in hand.

Speak, we will never forget you. Yeea, come on.
