can't have radical hip hop without a radical movement. even panther cub hip hop like digable planets was non-threatening because there was limited active movement at the time. other than the occasional blip (i'm thinking NFAC), there just isn't an organized left right now. too much money swirling around
Dead Prez is legit awesome. I had already had my mind opened by Rage Against the Machine. It came at the perfect moment for this white dude from WV. I learned so many things that I went on read more in the years to come

MAINSTREAM hip hop is NOT HIP HOP. ALL FAMEass ARTISTS ARE BEAST SYSTEM RHETORIC INCLUDING KRS1, RAKIM, YASIN DEF, KWELI, BUSTA RHYME, Feminem…ALL OF THEM.

Hip hop is trash nie because too many different people and things have infatuated it from its OG form and sum people didnât realize hip hop is culture as well and just assume u can just Dress up and cosplay as rappers
If you want to affect social change through hip hop, here's what you do:
Step 1: do lots of family-friendly material with educational themes. Get the youth interested in science. Step 2: gradually rebrand with more politically-charged material.
If all goes well, you'll have a fan base who are against the establishment and at least a few will possess the capability to obtain The Bomb.
Also just to be clear hereâŠ. Dead Prez are both from deeep Tallahassee and went to NY to pursue a record deal. Their idea was to bring that crazy fat bass beat music to New York and thatâs why songs like Hip Hop have such a crazy bass tone that you wouldnât get in typical NY hip hop at the time
Dead prez is the father of Kendrick Cartoon and Cereal — has to be his next project The Radical featuring Beyonce, Jay Z, Clipse / Pharrell, Dr Dre, Rihanna, SZA, Eminem, Black Hippy, ASAP, YG, Playboi Carti etc I need Pharrell, Metro, Mustard, Dre, and Alchemist on the beats and i need the message to be clear TAKEOVER / DONT JUST WATCH THE PARTY DIE, KILL IT
Kendrick may already be or is close to a radical leftist in my opinion. If so, I hope his next album gets real political and wakes people tf up that capitalism is a huge contributor to the discrimination black people have faced and continue to.

I mean if Hip-Hop hasn't been radical for 30-40 years aren't you pretty much saying Hip-Hop [music] hasn't really ever been radical?
