Dead Prez

[Redmau5]

Anyone into Dead Prez ? What do you think of them and their message ?

[Paradox]

RBG was a disappointment in my opinion. The songs were too short, and in my opinion, nowhere near as powerful as those on Let's Get Free, or Get Free Or Die Tryin'. Still, there were a couple of good songs on RBG, such as "Way of Life," and "Walk Like A Warrior." I hope they return to songs like on their first album though, that was great music, and it's one of my favorite CDs. I think they should lay off the racial terms though. For example, the song "Fuck The Law" starts off with them saying "Slap a White boy!" And in the song "Hell Yeah (Pimp The System)," they talk about robbing a White pizza delivery driver at gun-point. That type of stuff should be stopped.

I haven't fully listened to RBG or Get Free or Die Tryin. Let's Get Free is classic though. I don't know why they can't even capture the creativity from at least one song. I loved I have A Dream too though. "We bout to turn drive bys revolutionary!"

That is my favorite line.

Dead Prez is exellent if you ask me. I agree, RBG was a dissapointment but it did have a few tracks that I liked. Lets Get Free is amazing, an utter classic. Every song has a message. One that stands out to me a lot (especially because i am on this site right now) is the animal in man. Its pretty much a hiphop version of Animal Farm.
