I don't think they're racist, but using racial slurs in order to get their message across is just a bad idea in my opinion. Imagine Eminem or Aesop Rock using the N word to get their message across...

if they want to blame politicians/bastards why don't they just say so? instead of sounding like more racist than the (white) people who caused them to make the songs in the first place. I don't want to sound like a music snob, I actually like few of their songs. But now I'm gonna go and listen to some music with my (black and white) friends =)

And to contribute to this bs, it doesn't make much sense to me that 'they are not racist' but they "blame THE WHITE MAN" or "the cracker". It's like saying there's nothing racist "blaming THE BLACK MAN" or "the ******" for something. I have a feeling they didn't think about it before they noticed their fan base also consist of white people. I'm not sure about their ideology but

Hobbsilla, what the ****? So cause I'm white, that means its my fault for what my ancestors did? Thats like saying if my dad shot your dad, that gives you a to shoot me. Oh and white people put black people into slavery? Shame on whites. Guess what? Shame on the africans too cause there ancestors sold black people to the whites. But thats the "sins of our fathers", right?

It's clearly that you people calling 'em racists havent listened to the lyrics or to interviews.. What you don't (want?) to understand is theyre blaiming the WHITE MAN (read politicians, lobbyists etc) not the white people living side by side with blacks , sometimes under the same oppression as the blacks.. And if they were racists why would they have white people by their side in their music vide

So I don't think they're that racist. They seem pretty chill with the whites who know what's going on.

I just met them before and after a show tonight with a lot of my friends (most of us white because we live in a super-white community) and they didn't have any problem with us. One of them (I can't remember who) gave us his card so we can interview them on pirate radio sometime. During the show they even gave a shout-out to all the whites in the crowd who were down to organize and change ****.

I will say though no matter how much they advocate for reparations there is no way it'll work out. It would be a nightmare to figure out how much money each person would get, who would be eligible and where the money would come from. Its not as easy as just handing out money. Plus handing out money to people does not mean you admit fault, feel guilty or take responsiblity for your wrong doings.

Naw Dead Prez could call me a cracka every day of the week for the rest of my life and I would be fine with that. I need to be reminded that I'm Caucasian and the ****ed up **** that my ancestors have done over the last thousand years. Part of the privilege of being white is that you forget that you are or its not on your mind most days of the week.

dead prez definitely shows some racism (with different reasons and less extremity) but for the most part dead prez fans don't hate white people, **** alot of them are white people. I don't think a black kid is too safe at some nazi show while I doubt a white kid is anything more than uncomfortable at a dead prez show. eh?

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth-Mecca and the Soul Brother. This might just be the best rap album of all time, definately within the last decade.

Main Ingredient is just as good in my opinion. Also, it wasn't within the last decade, it came out in 92.

I still need to check them out.

I am ashamed :(

calling it the best album within the past decade is stupid

it was released 16 years ago

Still haven't heard Mecca, but the Main Ingredient is definitely one of the best albums of the 90s.

oh yeah i didn't see your comment before, coke

sorry :(

Del show tomorrow night, but I think I'm going to be too broke to go.

I'm not particularly liking the new Del.

Would you mind posting it?

Yeah, it's not that great but I bet he would still rule live.

[url]http://www.mediafire.com/?ngvvoyt2wy6[/url]

True. I would still go and see him.

Hearing some tracks from Deltron 3030 = bliss

Does he perform them when he's touring solo? I didn't know that.

I'm sure he'd do at least one.

Listening to Group Home right now. I forgot how good this is.

I heard he also does Clint Eastwood live, and yeah he does Deltron stuff

:D I had a check waiting for me from my work at my parents house.

looks like I am going after all.

apparently blue scholars are playing too

So it seems Jeru the Damaja is coming to Aus next month, which is seriously amazing.

any of you guys listen to Rubberoom?

[QUOTE=sgrevs;16140909]So it seems Jeru the Damaja is coming to Aus next month, which is seriously amazing.[/QUOTE]

I wish he would come to the UK but it is gay and therefore he won't.

If he did though, the tickets would be ridiculously expensive.

Last night was awesome.

Got there in time to see Chip Fu from Fu-Schnickens. He was really good, and he did a lot of their hits.

Then they announced a raffle to win a Eleventh Hour skateboard, so my roommate and I bought 6 tickets and he won. Nice *** board, was selling for 40 dollars and we spent 2 bucks on raffle tickets.

Del came out and ****ing ruled. He had A+ from Souls of Mischief up there with him, which was really cool. He opened with Virus off 3030 and then mostly stuck to new stuff. His encore was Clint Eastwood.

After the show, a huge freestyle broke out outside and people were battling each other. I linked up with this local hip hop group and I'm probably going to interview them for my radio show.

Sounds sick. I'd like to hear your show sometime. When are you on and is it possible for me to listen from here?

That link will let you listen to my show from Friday. My mic was really ****ed up though, so hopefully next show will sound better.

You get all the great shows. It's not fair.

How was the new stuff live?

Is there anything that has come out this year that is worth checking out?

The new stuff live was all really good. I'm digging the album a lot more now after seeing it preformed.
