Horror-core Hip Hop heavyweight Necro recently encountered public backlash from the Barnaba Institute over his song and its accompanying video “Human Traffic King (White Slavery Part 2).” The Barnaba Institute, an organization dedicated to fighting modern-day slavery, human trafficking and sexual exploitation, began a petition against the Brooklyn emcee from performing the song at an upcoming show at the Palladium in Worcestor, Massachusetts.
The petition reads: “It has been brought to our attention that Rapper Necro will be performing at The Palladium on May 21-22. We ask that you prohibit Necro from performing his song titled ‘Human Trafficking King is White Slavery II’…While Necro is protected under Free Speech for writing this song, we ask that you prohibit Necro from performing “White Slavery” or any other song that glorifies violence against women, in their performance this May. We also urge you to become a corporate leader by prohibiting glorification of violence against women in all performances at your venue.” (the full petition can be read here).
In a press release from Audible Treats, Necro responded to the claims of glorifying human trafficking:
“Okay, for the record, I will officially say, I DO NOT SUPPORT HUMAN TRAFFICKING! I am not making this statement to censor myself, or to try to make anyone happy. I am doing this to set the record straight, and to address the organization petitioning me, The Barnaba Institute (who by the way didn’t even quote the correct lyrics in their petition- get ya facts straight!).I am a rap artist from the streets and I always speak the truth as I see it. I do not support women being kidnapped and used for prostitution by organized crime. I run a record company and release brutally explicit hip-hop albums for a living. I have a mother and niece I love, as well as female fans all over the world that I love and I would never want to see them in a position where they were victims of human trafficking.
My female fans support me 100%. They understand my sick insane art, and they know it’s just that: art. They are intelligent enough to recognize the difference.
Let me make something else clear: I DO SUPPORT insane explicit brutal art, and everything I record and release is based on reality. Human trafficking is a very real and serious subject that has never been touched on by any hip-hop artist. I am the first, but you shouldn’t crucify me for showing you the brutal truth.
My “Human Traffic King” video is not anti or pro, it’s just art, it just is. It’s viewing reality and brutal like a horror movie. Do we persecute movie directors for making brutal gore films with people being viciously killed? NO, these movies are in movie theatres and retail stores all over the world raking in millions, so why when a musical artist does that same form of art through music should it be judged differently?
I was raised on gore flicks and low budget horror movies, so when I make art it has that exploitational feel to it because that’s how I like to paint pictures. The thing that always made exploitational films so good is that they were more true to life than blockbuster movies; more dark, gritty, and realistic. So yes, my video is fucked up. Why? Because human trafficking is fucked up, plain and simple. Any female watching the video can see what could happen if she isn’t careful in this world.
I DO NOT SUPPORT HUMAN TRAFFICKING, but I DO SUPPORT FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND THE RIGHT TO CREATE ART THAT IS TRUE TO LIFE. You have the right not to watch it, or to watch it and learn from it, you can even hate me, but don’t misunderstand the director or writer for his creation or depiction of reality
You heard it from me personally, if you wanna debate my views, fine, but don’t twist my words into what you want them to be.
Sincerely,
Ron Braunstein aka Necro”
this is the greatest music video ever made. keep doin your thing necro. just copped “DIE!” today, album of the year.
yeah
necro is the gulliest white boy to ever clutch the mic. but even white kids hate on him. he does his own thing and grinds his ass off. ill bill and necro, 2 emcees not for play. this track and video is exploitation, he got every right in the world to create whatever he wants. dx should show some love and review his album. he had a classic beat on a classic album with the shit he gave raekwon.
I dont care for his lyrics or his flow but I like his beats. His brother (Ill Bill) is a much better MC. But, I do respect the hell out of his grind he dont take no bullshit an does his own thing. He dont give a fuck if you like it or not and i can respect that.
i got necros back i support reality rap/hiphop shit lets jus say i support reality lyrics… the situation hes in is a great 1 jus like ill bill, tech n9ne & slain etc independant is the way cos they can speak wats on their mind… cumon we all kno dmx an shady wanna saw even worse raw shit but they cant… at the end of the dy hes tellin it how it is & dont forget bad press can b good!
Have they heard any other song by necro???
That cracka’s name is Braunstein……fucking Jew!!!
Laker is a fucking dirtbag. i laugh at every jew joke along w the next man, but this dude is a real mo fucka you just a weak ass faggot. its funny to make fun of jews and chinks, etc. but not when you actually talking about somebody specific. especially casue i repect this dudes insane grind and music. by the way, did you like my acting in the movie precious?
“While Necro is protected under Free Speech for writing this song, we ask that you prohibit Necro from performing”
ahahaha, gotta love america. land of freedom on the outside, Nazi Germany on the inside.
co-sign
yea that was just a huge contradiction..we know hes allowed to..but dont allow him lmao.
Go necro!
Necro sounded scared. So in reality hes just a fake ass rapper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they’re all fake.
That fuckin Kike ass motherfucker is hilarious. The plump on the bitches face is jokes.
HAHA…dope….would like to see Uncle Howie in this shit tho.
uncle howie passed away a few months ago homey
I think Necro is a dumbass as a person, like his character is a little kid stuck in middle school the way he respresents himself, as a person…
BUT, his music such as this one is crazy and true. Human Trafficking is a real issue and gotta respect Necro for bringing it out to the masses and more so not backing down from the petition. Guess he isn’t really all middle school as I thought…
To those of you writing “kike” or approving race-based hate via comedy or any other form should be ashamed — you sound like ignorant fools. This topic has nothing to do with Necro’s last name, his born religion or any of the like — this is about freedom of speech and the inequal application of cencorship (i.e., film v. music), as well as women’s health and rights issues and, specifically, rape and human trafficking… You can’t blame The Barnaba Institute for being concerned about Necro’s message; and you shouldn’t hate on Necro for responding to the Institute’s accusations and petition. Being honest doesn’t make someone a “pussy”, and Necro simply stated what all hip hop fans should have already known — he’s not really having sex with dead people, he’s not a serial killer, etc. Wake the fuck up, you clowns.
and 3rd Bass. It may sound strange as Necro fan referring to myself as PC, but as a black guy, I’ve never paid much attention to an emcee’s colour.
The Baranba Institue have just given Necro free publicity, which is a good thing as he’s pretty much shunned by the media. His harsh lyrical content means he’ll never penertrate Middle-America/England, but real hip-hop headz need to check for him as he’s ill on the boards. The racial element surrounding him and hip-hop isn’t as clear cut, though. Fervent underground rap fans, regardless of ethnicity will pass on Asher Roth and Slim’s new ish, just like they would Lil’ Wayne/Flo Rida. Likewise, brothers who appreciate quality hip-hop, show love to Alchemist, Muggs and 3rd Bass.
mc serch is a shady faggot, bro. quit gassing 3rd bass like they werent pussy foot white boys faking jax.
mc serch brought you illmatic.
he also brought you the white rapper show, and stole non phixions advance and destroyed any chance of non phixion poppin off on a major label.
nas woulda hit it big with or without serch jealous thievin ass. mc serch is a herb, and he gets no respect from the brothas. you a fuckin wigger from canada, no need for racial debate fuck head.
Kush, you may not like MC Serch, but you can’t deny Derelicts of Dialect and the Cactus Album were dope. Serch and Pete deserve even more props for showing temerity and perseverance during a time when whites faced hostility from some factions of the hip-hop community. As for the White Rapper Show, that was created by them Ego Trip dudes – also, Snoop, Run and Flavor Flav have all made trash TV without that tarnishing their great work in the ’80s and ’90s.
Hahahahahaha…this shit is fucking hilarious and awesome i haven’t seen many Necro videos but im definately gonna youtube his shit now. This is what Rap is supposed to be, talking about real shit. Anyways if you like this kind of music listen to:
Non Phixion
Jedi Mind Tricks
Anything by Uncle Howie
Vinnie Paz
Ill Bill
Army of the Pharaohs (AOTP)

Yo, WTF!?
This is just a video, and dope hip hop at that.
People need to get their priorities straight.
Going after Necro for this video will do NOTHING to the current state of human trafficking.
Too many people putting energy towards stupid shit.
Just like anything else, like our government.
They need to put their resources on something that may actually make a difference.
You know these fools attacked Necro just to get some exposure.
Fuck, go thump some bibles, fools.
NECRO a JEW BOY……Brownstein.
Necro is a piece of shit scumbag Jew.
