Lets Get Free [PA] by Dead Prez

Pros: amazingly great songs, great beats on all the songs, Catchiness
Cons: some wierd songs

As you can probably tell from most of my reviews, rap is my least favorite genre (along with Country and Opera). I hate how all the rappers talk about “hoes and stereos”. It just bothers me because of all the sexism, greed, selfishness, and...

Pros: Great music and production. Intelligent and thought-provoking lyrics.
Cons: None.

Back in the mid 1980’s Public Enemy frontman Chuck D referred to Hip Hop music as “the black man’s CNN” for it’s ability to relay political, social, and economic views to it’s listeners. These themes were present in songs like “The Message” by...

Pros: Incredibly Astonishing Production, Unmatched and Intelligent Lyricism, Political Social Consciousness, Creativity
Cons: Nothing... zip.. nada.... zero

The late 80s and Early 90s were seemingly the blooming era for hip-hop music. The socially-conscious, poetic, and political lyricism found in the late 80s by such groups as Public Enemy on the east and N.W.A. on the west were fueling an increase in th ...

Pros: Introspective, political, beautifully produced, angry
Cons: Nothing really

Pros: Excellent Production, Clear Message, Good lyricism, Versatility
Cons: Dead Prez are misinformed at times, not enough facts.

Dead Prez. What doest their name mean? I heard their “hip hop” back in 1999, but somehow I just skipped over it, probably because at the time I was listening to stupid music. Anyway, somehow I came back to it 4 years later, and I loved it. I got ...

Pros: insightful lyrics, I agree with most of their politics, solid beats, good emcees
Cons: "mind sex"

One day, around 5 o clock I was flipping through the channels of TV. I flipped by BET. I usually don’t watch BET cause most of the hip hop videos they play are the fake thug type. I saw Dead Prez’s video for “hip hop”. The video was shot in black and...

Pros: Deep lyrics
Cons: Not much variation. Not suited for many.

The Dead Presidents are an underground Hip Hop group from Florida. They are very alternative for their gene as they explore themes many would not dare go into. They give an 'in-your-face' approach to educating people on politics, racism and religion, ...

Pros: Music,Artwork, basically everything.
Cons: The issues mentioned on this album are in the exact state they were in 2000

In 2000 and album dropped that would insure hiphop music would make it through y2k. Years after the demise of groups like X Clan(and their Xtended family Black Watch) were off the map black artists seemed more concerned with having nicer cars than the ...

Pros: Great rhymes, thought provoking, revolutionary
Cons: Perhaps Anti-White, a bit.

The Dead Prez are one of the most talented and political minded rap groups around today. While other rap groups are rapping about their money, cars and bitches, Dead Prez are concerned with some more important issues.

"How's this (Dead Prez) album?", I asked my best friend.

Pros: Great message, great lyrics and ill beats.
Cons: Id say tha only track i skip is "mind sex"

When i first bought this album, there was a big sticker on tha front saying "this artwork has been censored by the powers that be, due to its political content). It was covering tha part of the cover with the guns. Right then i knew i wanted this because...

Cons: none. it's an amazing album.

It's been awhile since hip hop has had such a political awakening by the critics. There was an outcry against dead prez for their lyrics by the public and their album cover which has a number of africans raising up their AK-47s.
