To all you Rage and Hip Hop fans

[Lardlad95]

"One project ?uestlove did participate in, however, albeit some time ago, was a recording session with former Rage Against the Machine singer Zack de la Rocha, which he said resulted in around nine songs. Though he admitted to rocking them in his car a lot lately, ?uestlove said he has no idea when, or if, they'll ever be released."

From VH1 News


Dude from Rage and The drummer from the greatest Hip Hop Band Around collabed to make some songs

however I'm not sure if tey will be released

if anyone finds out anything tell me

[munkey soup]

Sound cool.

(I have uno pregunta however, how the fuck do you pronounce ?uestlove. :confused: )

[Lardlad95]

It's pronounced

Quest-Love and he really is an amazing drummer

[munkey soup]

Why doesn't he just pronounce it Quest-love then.....nevermind.

[killingstars]

yeah i heard about it. that would be totally amazing if it were released. better then that audioslave stuff, i hate it.

[munkey soup]

Oh hush. Its not that bad. Cochise is a pretty good song.

[BOZG]

Sounds like it could be some good shit. I'm really interested to know what Zack's solo album will sound like.

[Alejandro C]

I heard that Trent Reznor is producing the album, the lasst thing he touched was the 'requiem for a dream' soundtrack and that was an amazing piece of fucking music.

[BOZG]

Alejandro,

Are you talking about Zack's new album because I heard that the album is a lot more hip hop than it is rock?

[munkey soup]

That doesn't mean Mr. Reznor isn't producing it. Trent is an amazing artist, he can go all over the board, from industrial, to rock, and I think he could pull off his own style of hip-hop as well.

[BOZG]

I guess so. I just can't see him producing it though.

[munkey soup]

If he is producing, I doubt it will sound like any other style of hip-hop, or at least will stray from the well-beaten path.

[Communist Chris]

I love Rage. But it sucked how they broke up. That really sucks. But that was really cool how they played at the DNC in LA that really kicked ass!!

[ovrproofmentalz]

check a group called CIA... krs one and zach de la rocha.. some ill shit

[Lardlad95]

Krs and Zach? Sounds cool

[themanwill]

off the subject a bit but it was just announced that Zach will have a song on the matrix sequel soundtrack. cool huh?

[j]

I think CIA was just one song "criminals in action"

It's hot. I think its on Lyricst Lounge 1....or some other compilation like soundbombing but not soundbombing...

j

[BOZG]

Yeah it was just a single track and it was on Lyricist Lounge 1.


Criminals In Action
(KRS-One)
Yea yea yea yea yea!
KRS-One comin through, Big Zack, Last Emperor
Woop Woop! Ha hah, that's the sound of EMS
Ha hah, Last Emperor, KRS
Ha hah, Big Zack you know the rest
Now we gonna come down like this now, hold tight all crew
LISTEN!!

(Zack de la Rocha)
This voice shatters the calm of the day, like an alarm
To wake up brand anew, and take up arms
Cause more is necessary than vocabulary war
Cause the toxic rock imports, gettin on your door
C.I.A. I see ya later, cause your time is comin soon
I flip the shit like Pacino and it's your Dog Day Afternoon
Attica Attica, drug agents your bring your static-a
My alphabet will slash that neck and flip you, automatica
Dramatic, like Ali Shaheed Muhammed brought The Vibe
I bring the sun at Red Dawn to pull the thoughts of Franz Fenon
So stand at attention, devil dirge
You never survive chosin sides against the wretched of the Earth
The infiltrator, child intoxicator, people incarcerator
Liberation movement annihilator
We got you clocked pushin rocks and it fail
We got brothers troopin subways like the Ho Chi Minh trail
We got the truth daddy, Last Emperor, KRS and history manifested, tomorrow the next lesson


(Hook)
YOU CLAIM I'M SELLIN CRACK, BUT YOU BE DOIN THAT
"You, claim, you claim, you, you claim, claim
You, claim I'm sellin crack, but you be doin that" (KRS-One)
You know the cops they got a network for the toxic rock (Zack de la Rocha)
YOU CLAIM I'M SELLIN CRACK, BUT YOU BE DOIN THAT (KRS-One)
"So get that flashlight out of my face"
"You, you, you claim I'm sellin crack, but you be doin that" (KRS-One)
The Last Emperor, KRS-One, and Big Zack (KRS-One)

(The Last Emperor)
As free market capitalism and technology expands
The third world's fertile soil becomes a desert wasteland
So it takes bands to, demand the, government provide answers
when Lady Liberty has me Bewitched like Samantha
And poverty is one of the most malignant forms of cancer
to all my Black Magic romancers and acid rain dancers
Develop close ties like Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza
We fear no man and throw jams that attack counterintelligence programs
Exciting like the epic adventures of Conan (hah!)
I colonize minds like Zaire by the Belgians
Now what the hell is the problem with this system and what it sells us
I bring ancient relics like Wyclef did to Zealots
I saw an Iron Curtain called hip-hop and got it open like Boris Yeltsin
Whirlwind, tornadoes, in the rain forest if you say so (whosssshhh)
KRS and The Last Emperor like the Green Hornet and Kato
Zach de la Rocha brings the enraged flow, but all three drop science
and become the most powerful alliance since NATO

(Hook)

(KRS-One)
Need I say the C.I.A. be Criminals In Action
Cocaine crack unpackin, high surveillance trackin
Prominant blacks and whites givin orders for mass slaughters
I want all my daughters to be like Maxine Waters
When they flooded the streets with crack cocaine
I was like Noah, now they lower cause the whole cold war is over
Communism fell to the dollars you were grabbin it
All the assault and batterin in the name of intelligence gatherin?
Now it's karma you battlin, a losin fight
I chose the mic to recite ignite light in the night, aight?
We should beat em, President Clinton should delete em
it's not hard, the C.I.A. simply has no more job
Oh my Goddess, mother, you can fix this
We rock over mixes not six six sixes
Yo this is, the message, to all that can hear it
If you got secret information now's the time to share it
Call your Congresswoman, your senator, your mayor
It's time for all the scholars to unite with all the players
Rearrangin, see times are definitely changin G
They used to tap the phone, now they tappin while you pagin me
It's crazy B, yet it's plain to see, who the enemy
Who's left the NRA? The ATF, the AMA?
Okay okay, it's all irrelevant, cause in the new millenium
There'll be no Central Intelligence

Uh, yea, uh, yea
Throw your hands up
You know whassup kid, throw your hands up
Ha hah yeah, hah hah, yeah

I wish he was back with Rage, but atleast he's still around. He was good at the hip hop thing in "Kill a man" so hopefully he can pukk it off woithout the band.

[WhirledFightback]

Does anyone have any views/info on why Rage Against The Machine were signed up to a major record label, sony. Surely this would go against all their beliefs.

I love Rage and I'm not trying to put them down.
Also, does anyone have any interesting info on why they broke up.

Cuz it's about gettin paid, you can love music with all your heart but remember. Anyone can be a musician but it's really something if you can get paid for it.

They have to pay the bills, a small time company wont be able to do that for them

[munkey soup]

What he said....

........And this has been discussed about a million times already. Whirled guy, go scour through past threads and look at what's already been argued.

[WhirledFightback]

Thanx for the tip, Munkey soup.
