Best Political Rap Songs
 

What is your favorite political rap song??

Anything by Public Enemy.

Check out the new song, "A Message From Gaza," from Hip-Hop's favorite son, Doktah Soose. Written from the perspective of a would be jihadi, the track tells the tale of a disenfranchised young adult who sees life as one tragedy after another. Follow him as he explores the feelings and conclusions he's reached as a result of the suffering he's endured at the hands of his Israeli occupiers.

// FREEDOM FOR PALESTINE // الحرية لفلسطين // LIBERTAD PARA PALESTINA // LA LIBERTE POUR PALESTINE // FREIHEIT FâR PALÄSTINA // 自碱巴勒斯墦ク // VRIJHEID VOOR PALESTIJN // FRIHET FOR PALESTINA //

Isn't that self promotion.

The Coup - Fat Cats, Bigga Fish

Idk about my favorite but one of my top political picks.

Sage Francis ya'll!

Immortal Tech has a few but I like

The Perceptionists

^That is an awesome CD.

White America from eminem

rawwz - stereotype or anything by logic or lowkey!! uk have rappers galore

Public Enemy has to take the cake with anything they've ever made

Lupe fiasco has a few good takes, words I never said, american terrorist and ital.

Try and get your hands on "The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy - Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury". They dropped it in 1992 and it's got some pretty hard-hitting rhymes.

Public Enemy and The Coup, definitely. You cannot beat those two when it comes to political messaging.

Hazy Shade of Criminal by Public Enemy is really good.

in terms of newer songs... "Crosshairs" by Bambu & DJ QBert is so good it's insane.

Most Billy Woods tracks gain this status for me, but here's one of my favorites of his which focuses on imperialism:

really dug that The Perceptionists song as well as Billy woods

my personal favorite is Sole -Theme


but i can honestly say that Consolidated's Unity of Oppression is quite possibly the most influential song i've ever heard....i was 13 or 14 when i first saw this video and it lit a torch inside me....i changed and have never looked back :)

A Tribe Called Quest - Steve Biko (Stir it up)

Consolidated had a whole ton of jems that not many people ever heard of.

Other groups and artists that I REALLY dig include
Test Their Logik
Rebel Diaz
One Day as a Lion
Tem Blessed
Jasiri X
Flobots

I would say Brother Ali too but I assume that's kind of obvious.

Seattle rep... Ra Scion is a beast with the intelligent lyrics.

Common Market - Push


Common Market - Nina Sing (Live KEXP)

Bliss N Eso - The Sea Is Rising


The Herd - 20/20


The Herd - The King Is Dead

Can't Truss It - Public Enemy (pretty much everything else they've ever done)

Also I enjoy stuff a lot of stuff from X-Clan, Lakin Shabazz, The Coup, Paris, Cube's eariler works, etc.

B. Dolan - The Devil Is Alive

who the **** is this pudgy, man-tit-having, mask-wearing pedo kidding? giving out dietary advice. :laughing:

Vinnie Paz - You Can't Be Neutral On A Moving Train


Jedi Mind Tricks - Shadow Business
