much like PE before them......90% of their fans were white.
No jokes no gimmicks
Who else can be this honest and gritty and get the mainstream exposure they did?

i went to see them live and this shocked me. it really did.
they appeal to that college student rebellious anti-system crowd much like P.E. did
after the show one of them got mad and approached dead prez b/c they used the word "cracka" though

Letās Get Free was a hip hop classic, crazy to think it was 18 years ago when it dropped.
My fav joint on there was Psychology. Them and gravediggaz used to kick the dopest black nationalist shyt.. nikkas sleep on Rza but his verse on āThe Night the Earth Diedā is one of my favorite in hip hop history, I donāt care what nobody say!
I came to the shores of America disguised as a peddler/
The alpha and omega, the home of the beggars, the black settlers//
Who been beaten, raped, lynched, robbed and stoned//
And caused to roam the earth in service cause they couldn't maintain at home//
This dates back to 1555
When they captured the first tribe of men/
And piled them in a pen/
Fifty feet hiiigh/
They took em all on a 9000 mile riiide/
They landed on the shore of a place they never seen before/
I read about this inside the ancient books of war/
Bonded in stainless steel, stripped of their language still/
survived the anguish of slavery but still remained nameless/
Separated into portions and tricked by John Haughty Hawkins/
And sold on the auction, taught birth control and abortion/
Rulers of the first part became slaves of the worst part/
The devils cursed God and reversed God/
And turned God into dog and made people search hard/
No relief came to the prophet of W.D. Feraud/
Taught trauma, dropped our mommas off in Bahamas and Barbados/
Tobagos, separated us from slave boats/
Made our own brothers hate us
From Virgin Isle to Jamaica/
Trinidad, Honduras, Haiti, Grenada/
Bermuda to Cayman, mental enslavement/
You black gods become awaken!!!!!!
