VIDEO: Check out this Ennis-based gangster rap and the priceless YouTube comments

Carl Kinsella

“B*tch I’m from Ennis.”

It might not have the same ring as ‘Straight Outta Compton’, but hey, every movement has to start somewhere.

La Familia are an unapologetic group of lads from Ennis, peddling the kind of gangster-rap you might be more used to seeing coming out of South Central LA or the five boroughs of NYC.

The video has had a lot of positive feedback, but “da haterz” will always make themselves known. The video has 152 dislikes, and plenty of comments giving the lads less-than-constructive feedback.

Clip via La Familia.

Take a look at some of the comments here:

Members of the crew have respectfully addressed their critics in comments section of the video, and they certainly have a point.

If nothing else, they deserve some credit for being able to handle the abuse in a very calm-headed manner (although that calmness might actually hurt their street cred.

As for our verdict, we say keep doing what you’re doing lads, just try to cut down on the swearing.
