'dead prez was right about everything' - afropunk

[thekingsmen]

They were hyping up The Information Age only to totally go missing once social media took off the way it did. The irony is that Joe Budden was the one to lead the charge in terms of being a rapper who used social media as a platform. Joe Budden became what Dead Prez was hyping up for the future.

I will go on record to say that Stic Mans 2011 album "The Workout" in my opinion is the greatest concept record in hip hop history because its 1) An album that can be appreciated by all races, ages and genders 2) Its an album that truly gives back to the community on a level like no other hip hop album by having its concept revolve around motivation to live a healthy lifestyle and exercise. I have yet to see an album that has a universal appeal to actually help and improve peoples lifestyle on such a level. I mean ,the man has a song ( "Sober Soldier" ) acknowledging that smoking weed is slavery...what other rappers are talking like that?

I still listen to the The Workout album....

WHITE power is the Enemy!!

Ha! it's a damn shame this sentiment has slowly lapsed out of the minds and soul of Black peoples.

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

So I finished the album a few minutes ago and one word comes to mind, which reflects the album title:




Decolonization




That's how y'all really feel?

I did my part to support. I think I’ve seen them in concert 6-7 times.

They did a show with Talib, Common, Mos Def & Saigon in NY about 10 years ago. One of the best straight up rap (not including Roots or OutKast) shows I’ve ever seen.

When that I’m a African joint comes on

dead prez gave us the blueprint. unfortunately many of us sold our souls to unbridled capitalism and settled to be stooges for a corrupt and unjust system.
