Dead Prez = The End Of White Privilege

I briefly posted earlier on white privilege. In case the lyrics were not caught, I was quoting Dead Prez. By their own definition they see themselves musically as "somewhere between NWA and PE." That is pretty apt, although I tend to hold them in a higher respect than either of those bands because 1. NWA made great novel music because it is explicit and changed the rap paradigm, but they were in fact purely novel (proof: Ice Cube now) and 2. PE stood for something, something hugely important, and then quickly sold out (Chuck D, be sure to thank flvr flv for this one). So in my eyes Dead Prez is the only real political rap group that remains valid. Not only do they still hold integrity, but the music they made was so cohesive and pure, their message was never muddled.

Dead Prez is important to me because as a white person I am ashamed of our history and to appreciate Dead Prez and truly give thought to their cause means I'm miles ahead most other white people. If everyone considered their message, racism might actually end. And that is something that is long overdue and extremely important to me.

As an ending note, I want to point out a small piece of Americas structure. We are a country run by white male politicians, controlled by white male business men, and solely interested in whats best for white males. FUCKED UP!
