Dead Prez: Politrikkks
This video is a recent live performance of the song Politrikkks in Europe by political hip hop duo M1 and Stic.man aka Dead Prez. Their new album drops sometime in June and promises to come just as hard as any of their older material. Dead Prez, unlike any other well known hip hop group, has sharp insightful lyrics that are not only critical of the capitalist system but call people to action.
Politrikkks is a look at the Obama election stripped down of all the media hype and what it really means now that an African American is administering the goverment of an imperialist nation. In the summer of 2008 at the DNC protests when asked about who they will vote for M1 told a reporter from Democracy Now!, “I vote for Mumia Abu Jamal, free ‘em all!” They even joined in on the march.
Besides Rage Against the Machine what other well known performers keep it this real?
