"Ravens Nation" Fan-created track to get ya pumped for the playoffs
Baltimore Ravens fans from Pasadena and around Anne Arundel County recorded this one. They're professionals, so even if hip-hop isn't your thing the crisp video editing will keep you engaged. The footage cut together of Johnny U throwing a bomb to Anquan Boldin is really nice touch. If you dig it, support the artists, send 'em a comment or something on their You Tube page. You can also download it for free if you send 'em an email.
Enjoy & GO RAVENS!

David Modell will change the words
into something that just doesn’t rhyme so well.

This is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing for sure!
During the lockout I watched highlights on YouTube alllll the time to get my “fix”.

Cheers, Bruce!
Looks like this one is building some momentum. . . Torrey Smith, Vonta Leach, and Michael Oher have re-tweeted links to it. 105.7 and 98 Rock have played it and the dudes at Freestate Work will be performing it on Fox 45 at 8:15am and again at 9:45am, this Friday. Pretty cool to see some regular dudes get a bit of attention for creatively supporting their team.
Totally agree with the local angle
and was glad to rep it. Share it all you want. Thanks!

This is just a nice music video but
while it might show some tailgating fans, and a wrinkled poster of a Texans Cheerleader, it has zero highlights, which sets it apart from what this video is all about – the Ravens!

Agreed
Here is the fan highlight video you are looking for from the first 10 games this season.
Ben Rothlisberger gets destroyed starting at 1:25 (you should enjoy this)
Blaine “Whoa there Mother F*cker” Gabbert at 4 mins

Week 19 Texans > Week 6 Texans….and I can’t wait to see the look on some Ravens faces when that reality hits home!
Any highlights of the Texans- Ravens game?
I thought not.

I didn't make the video, just thought I'd share it with fellow NFL fans who enjoy tough hitting defenses
But here’s the NFL highlight reel of the last Texans vs Ravens game that was much closer than Ravens fans will admit. The Texans led 14 to 13 with 6 mins left in the 3rd quarter, and the score was still tight with 4 mins left in the 4th quarter 14 to 19. Texans made mistakes, and the Ravens made some great plays and won the game. It was no blow out then, and it won’t be again.

You all should win this next game being at home after another bye week with us coming with a rookie QB. You should win the AFC championship, and I suspected you would after about mid-season, so I’m not a blind uninformed fan. Good luck!

Fair enough
Can’t argue with it and I’m sure knowing how we felt in the playoffs for the first time in 200-01, how crazy H-Town must be going.

Nice video 'Dena
Good footage. Getting pumped for Sunday.
I’m sure some of you on here have probably already seen this, but for another video that will get you pumped for some Ravens football, youtube ‘death on wings’. It’s older footage and all defensive clips. It’s also set to a pretty sick soundtrack (song from soundtrack of requiem for a dream).
Let’s go RAVENS!
Great highlights! I enjoyed that

Very cool video
Not going to lie though, it was better on mute.

While Not
Really into the hip-hop thang, very most excellent production. Props on a very professional job. Yes, the Unitas to Boldin was a nice touch.
Glad to see it is getting picked up here and there and getting some mileage. Who knows, maybe “The Castle” will call y’all about using it…
"A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring."
"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug."
"God's whiskers! Your face is as hideous as the demon's in my storybook!"
"I never expected to see the day when girls would get sunburned in the places they do today."
"It's big for a reason."
For Pittsburgh fans, that's Pope, Twain, Rostand, Rogers and Megamind
I got an email
from a woman at the Baltimore Sun who interviewed me on the video. I will post the story when she sends me the link.

Really cool, Bruce. Thanks for helping to get the word out.
Ravens Nation rap and video
This creation is fantastic – very inspiring and energizing. Does anyone know where to get a copy of the lyrics? Guess my age is showing, but I can’t follow all the words.
Sure, copied from their You Tube page
LYRICS:
We are the Ravens Nation
Smash mouth is the game
In the town that we claim
Home crowd taking aim
Baltimore’s so relentless
On the ground it’s no gain
Through the air it’s the same
“Purple Reign”
You know how our defense is
Sugar Ray’s got the gang fired up
Crowd pumped, Ray Rice about to break another one loose
Ball so hard, Sizzle’s in charge
And you know you’re getting nada running toward the big nine deuce
Joe Cool’s bout to school your D
My team wants nothing less than some jewelry
We’ll smash through your line with another quick blitz
And here comes Ed Reed with another pick six
Leach is drilling, Torrey’s thrilling
What more can I say? We killing ‘em
Anquan’s illing, Webb is stealing
Wait till it’s Sunday… We killing ’em
Beast mode is achieved, let it feast, let it breathe
Let it demonstrate technique talent and speed
Ray Rice so nice like he has thrice feet
And the full back’s full stacked, “lights out Leach”
Ball Hawkin’ Reed, Webb that weaves,
A city and a team full of MVPs
Four quarters and a dream, legendary
Harbaugh, hard ball weaponry
Smith so quick that they think it’s the shoes
Joe pitching to Pitta or Q getting loose
Ray Ray with the play behind the big six two
Or 53 with the D and Ngata busting through
Once we do, the rest will follow
55 on the side, he’s a real big problem
Pollard’s on the prowl popping collars
Ball So Hard Alma Mater, Passionate Scholars
We’ll protect this house, this home, castle, throne, battle zone
When the pass is thrown, even the pastor knows
Hail Marys can’t save you, we’ll crack you bones
Chuckie P’s got the scheme and my whole team knows
It’s “W.hat’s I.mportant N.ow”
Got the D. and the O. so we DO big things
And “the Raven’s touching DOwn”
Lombardi, I’m sorry it’s a Bmore party the trophy’s leaving town
In the hands of the flock to the city by the dock
Johnny U would be so proud
Charm city’s feeling good from the Harbor to the hood
Cuz we move those chains, move those chains, move those chains, HUUUUU!
