Dead Prez on Obama, the war, voting, and hip hop
This is a video I uploaded from Democracy now on Aug 25th 2008. Dead Prez speaks from a rally at the democratic national convention about their views on voting, Obama, the state of hip hop today, and the war in Iraq. I felt this was a particularly good clip about The State of Affairs right now. Watch the whole episode at DemocracyNow.org
Update 11-05-2008: A video response has been posted to this video. It’s a leaked track off of DP’s upcoming album, ”The Information Age”.

i remember when my big brother handed me dead prez’s first album, with this look that told me it was going to be on point. when i listened to it, with so many revolutionary references to bpp, fred hampton, mumia … so much history that’s been covered up and distorted and missing from public discourse … i was deeply moved by their eloquence, passion and strength. now, to hear this short interview with them about the political landscape in the us, mirroring my own perspective on what ’s going on, is like a proverbial breath of fresh air. keep on keeping on, dead prez .. you inspire. one love.
