Man, these brothers are the revolutionary sages of Hip-Hop. Dead Prez are as Real as what they spit, it's called uncompromising truth. I ride this life the same way - have been since I was a young brother. The system is man-made, so it's already exploitation. We gotta unshackle our brains, stay healthy: Stick Dead Prezon your dome, you've just increased your IQ by 70%. This joint covers it all for me...it's criminally minded not to dig it. And if you can't dig it, get a fucking shovel.
dis ain't lil wack or guchie mann soulja bitch my niggas. revolution fighter freedom fighter. shit dat make ur soul burn slow. dis ain't about fancy car diamond chain. it's about makin a change for the black peoples. wake the fuck up mainstream rapper
@InfiniteArguments if you knew dead prez you would know they are not racist.there are two class of people in this world.rich and poor.dead prez spits for poor people hommie not black people.
@landgabriel Its not hypocritical. It's just ironic. It'd be hypocritical if they were always rich. But they didn't make the rules.
What's also ironic is that to raise awareness about flaws in the system you first got to conquer it, that is, capitalize along the way. That's why the lyrics in 'Don't forget where you came from' 'Sitting around ain't gonna get you nowhere, you gotta get up off your ass if you want to be rich'
@DRocco85 The very nature of capital is to capitalize on the backs of other people. Dead Prez sold records made in Sony's factories by exploited workers and profited off of it. In my opinion they now have zero street cred, and everything they say is tainted. Don;t get me wrong, I love their music. I just don't think they practice what they preach. They are now part of the machine.
And maybe the aspect of this that bothers me, is that I also want to be a part of the machine.
@wwrjd1523 I know they gotta get a good amount for opening every chapelle show episode, but they're one of the very few that I'd bet gives it all back to the communities like these stars should
Dead Prez + Immortal Tech, who else has that much substance? who else is really worthy of being called REAL? 95% of the hip hop artists today are a disgrace.
This is the real rap music.Not like LIL wayne and his stupid and degrading messages he sends to peoples minds.Dead prez tells you whats up.And they can change there raps in to poems that what a good rap is thats why DEAD PREZ IS THE SHIT!
For sure, though I read they write peotry and turn it into songs, kind of like Bob Dylan did. It's always good to see that people who actually rap about what matters are smart enough to realize how powerful poetry is, and not shun it off as som "homo shit", because frankly I have only heard poor artists say that. respects.
I think you americans don't know nothing about poverty.
Do you know what is going on in Rusiia or the eastern countries like Ukraine: poor poor white folks who speaks for them? They just don't kill each other like the blacks in the US that's the only difference
dead prez cant do this shit alone though, they speak of helpin out black people, but its our job as black people to unite together instead of killing eachother for petty shit, noonther race reall acts like that like we do. theyll help eachother out and have pride in what they are, while we argue over colors or jus petty shit in general,
These guys are true activists, and apparently really chill guys to get to know. My friend goes to Evergreen and they came and hung out smoked a ton of weed, talked to a 80% white crowd about the Black Panthers, got wasted as fuck and freestyled till everyone passed out. Now that's some proper shit
why won't they go platinum.thats what my video is about.tiz about where we come from, what we expirience...believe me.the world is a bunch of cowards in prison allready, coz if we were not.why would we lways talk shit about the smallest things, instead of standing up for justice.fuc the system....i'm dying the day deadprez goes!pac already gone!shhhhit africa we all gon unite&itz gon be ova for the racists and colonists and bitches!
I'm white as fucking snow, and sometimes I can't help but get the feeling these guys would look at me like I was mental if I showed up at one of their shows, but god damn if I can't get down to this shit.
Your mistaken.They are not racist. Black power don't mean that black people are better then others. It means being proud of who they are and where you come from. Black power to black people. Brown Power to brown people, White power to white people. Etc all power to the people! Get hip to it.
Huh. This comment is so wrong. Your a slave destroyer...you need to be a hate destroyer, it would get you further. :) and im a sista, so don't come at me sideways!!!
I so feel you on that. It's funny how real hip hop artists get overlooked but radio stations, television and internet will promote the hell out of no talent rappers.

u keep cheapchatting about black, brown and yellow to unite.
And, as I figure, DP is a marxist-socialist group.
How can u keep it racial, when scientific socialism clains it to be economic?
I mean, there's none white poor person around? South America got plenty, but the racial speech keeps growing.
