[ric]

wake up and realised the genius of dead prez he is a rapper and a african
listen to wovles the skit (track 1), im a african(track 2) and they schools (track 3)
and propaganda (track 44(hiden track) on lets get free
im not black (not that matters) but it is s the stuff of heros

wake up DAED PREZ is amazing
beauty musicified

[Hampton]

Dead Prez is two guys and yes, their stuff is amazing.

But I think people already know that here.

[canikickit]

This is a total revelation to me.

[roman]

police state is the best track

also check out immortal technique's revolutionary

[Lefty]

Never heard their music. Time to download some!

[ric]

go for it lads
neva give up

[antieverything]

They obviously have the talent but some of their shit just isn't that good. Most of their videos are inexcusably bad, too. And what makes you say "he's african"? Just because they ridiculously try to deny "african american" heritage doesn't mean you should take them seriously! It is a completely different culture, after all and genetically, a european is closer to an asian than an african american is to an african.

[pandora]

They're good but when I went to see them live they kept everyone waiting 5 hours, didn't interact with the audience, had a holier than thou attitude, treated the kids like shit in a multiethnic venue. Didn't thank the street kids who had opened for them, and seemed very jaded and overly violent.
Instead of offering real ideas for social change, it was like go out a rob whitey and shoot some cops, by response, Go Fuck Yourself.

[j.guevara]

Lets get free is classic but they've been on a steady decline since. They seem to have dumbed down for some reason. I was shocked to hear them rap about 20 inch rims on their newest album. Immortal Technique is better than dead prez at this point. ...On the wolves intro, is that Malcolm? I saw them live a year ago in D.C. they interacted with the crowd and they were cool, but they seem to be more about rob whitey and shoot cops now then socialism and health.

nah, it's Uhuru chairman Omali Yeshitela. Same guy as on 'police state'.

[j.guevara]

oh, alright.

from "propaganda":

I don't want no computer chip in my arm
I don't wanna die by a nuclear bomb
I say we all rush the pentagon, pull out guns
And grab the intercom, my first word's will be I believe
Man made God, outta ignorance and fear
If God made man, then why the hell would he put us here?
I thought he's supposed to be the all lovin
The same God who let Hitler put the Jews in the oven
We don't fall for the regular shit, they try to feed us
All this half-ass leadership, flippin position
They turn politcian and shut the hell up and follow tradition
Fool your TV screen, is telling lies to your vision...

I'd like to point out...for purposes of making everyone think I'm really neat...that a friend of mine from NYC has actually recorded with DP! How cool is that?

[Hampton]

You are the coolest!

But seriously, is your friend any good? What was the song?

[antieverything]

Yeah, he busts ridiculous flows...he's also a spokesmodel for Raulph Lauren but I don't hold that against him. Ever see a magazine back with a picture of a guy named Divine with huge hair? That's the guy.

I don't know what the song was called, I'll have to ask him. But his group is called "The Hip Hop Project" and they do some pretty cool stuff.

[Shifty]

Dead Prez are sick...period

[RABBIT - THE - CUBAN - MILITANT]

two guys not one ahe thier lyrics are amazing

[Neo-Democratic Force]

i like dead prez a lot, but i do take issue with them promoting hatred of whites.

[bunk]

rabbit why don't you stop posting the shield
DP's best songs:
walk like a warrior
radio freq
propaganda
psychology
hip hop
hell yeah
police state
they schools

[antieverything]

The best DP track ever is "Sharp Shooters" or...Shootaz or something...with Talib Kwali.

"Politicians say it's time to march but the people are past that, ready to blast at whatever's comin'. From the master or for office, niggas are sick of runnin'!"

-Talib Kwali

[life beyond life]

DP doesn't promote hatred toward "whites" they promote rebellion against the system, unfortunately the "whites" need to get up out of the system!!!

and if you like DP, you'll like Mujahideen Team. two Puerto Rican brothas from NY and they are lyrically off the heezy!

one.

[socialistfuture]

yeah POLICE STATE is a great song.

they deal with the theme of education real well - its so true its a mass mind rape, brainwashing children to obey orders and be slaves to the system.

yeah theyre real militant and talk of violence - for some people where they live that is the reality - cops will shoot u if they have the chance.. you last as long as you are stong. im a white boy who lives in about the safest place he could so i cant really relate to that so i wont judge it

[Jesus Sanchez]

I don't want to sound stupid, but are the Dead Prez short for the Dead Presidents? Because I know the Dead Presidents are pretty good.

[bunk]

After downloading all of their songs i'm now distributing his music all over the world from Kazaa. I'm doing my bit for the cause!
