Revolutionary Hip-Hop
I really like Immortal Technique. But what other rev. hip-hop artists are out there?

Until now, the left has only managed capital in various ways; the point, however, is to destroy it.

Obviously Dead Prez and the Coup, which i'm surprised no ones mentioned yet.
Also bambu is a good pinoy-american rapper

Formerly zenga zenga !
Ice Cube did make some of the greatest political rap.
Plus his new album is dope.
I don't think I'd really call Ice Cube political rap, much less 'revolutionary hip-hop'.
Still though... 'fuck america still with the triple k'.

His early solo stuff was very political and he still does some political songs like "Nigga Trapp"

Pshhhaw!
You all obviously don't know what the hell your talking about because there was no mention of Paris or his label Guerrila Funk (jk!)
Seriously though, this shit is where its at!

Gimme some elbow room and I'll lock it down.
Hmmm yeah I guess so, I'd call it more social commentary though (if that can be separated from politics...) I think I just have a knee jerk negative reaction to 'political rap' or 'revolutionary hip hop' as it brings up visions of rappers like immortal technique who are pretty shit and just drop new world order or something like that in every second line.

Thanks everyone.
Killer Mike! I've heard some his stuff before, pretty good.

Since you've heard Immortal Technique, you probably already know Akir and Diabolic, but they're both legit.
Asheru...he performed the Boondocks theme song

And this track is great:

Could probably post tracks for a while to be honest. I'd say that most 5 percenters are almost revolutionary by nature, but their intent may be slightly different than what a leftist here has in mind, depending on the individual. I say, "a leftist here" because I'm fairly certain that a 5 percenter would be banned from rev left. There is however, an existing overlap in rappers who claim to be 5 percenters and socialists...Immortal Technique being one of those.

By the way, here's a new interview with Immortal Technique. Apparently the second part will be available tomorrow.

Immortal Technique is too chauvinistic to be really revolutionary, and not talented enough as a rapper to make up for that shortcoming. The Coup is where it's at though (and good look on Killer Mike). K'naan is good too.

Alright, fuck this shit, man, I'm fuckin' sick of this. Every fuckin' week, a new fuckin' "Revolutionary Hip Hop" thread. Does anyone else think it's about time to make a goddamn sticky?
I mean I LOVE revolutionary Hip Hop. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it. But we don't need a new thread every couple of weeks, where everyone posts their favorite technique, or dead prez, or the coup etc.

Oh god, people still think this. Tech isn't chauvinistic, he's addressed this before himself. In his EARLY shit he did rap a lot of chauvinistic shit but he rapped a lot of shocking stuff IN GENERAL. The guy would say things to piss people off, he originally made his name as a battle rapper so there's a certain amount of that. If you look at his recent stuff like on The 3rd World you'll notice a conspicuous absence of that because he doesn't need to do it anymore. Tech doesn't believe that women are '*****es' any more than he actually wants to murder your while family and crash a plane into your house (which he also says in some songs). Sometimes shit that sounds shocking is just meant to be shocking and nothing more.

I would say Check out, Bambu (Good song Pull it Back), NaS is pretty tight (Good song's are "I Can," and "Revolutionary Warfare.") The Narcicyst (P.H.A.T.W.A.), Shadia Mansour (El Kofeyye arabeyye Ft. M-1), Blue Scholars (Proleteriat Blues), Wu-Tang Clan (I can't go to Sleep Ft. Isaac Hayes). There's more but these people are pretty dope.
