My favorite Dead Prez song (and it will be yours too) is “Pimp the System”: http://youtube.com/watch?v=p8ZwVGY4Snc
This is a remix, but you get the idea.
there isn’t a video on YouTube, but these are Dead Prez’s smarter, fresher first cousins (not by blood, but in that they are both hyper-political & “radical” - though I think The Coup are much more radical in both their actions & viewpoints). Anyway, this song is necessary revolution-ammo.
“See you can’t trust a big grip and a smile
And I slang rocks - but Palestinian style”
the 20th century may have never seen a better doublet in hip hop than that
Now let’s bring a little M.I.A. into this.
I actually was listening to “Pimp the System” today, and I owe my love for Dead Prez, and just about every other recent hip hip artists and kung-fu, movie to you
@Brad,
Wow, yet another gem from the last man standing on ELS Web. Gardner talked about your blog today while he was presenting, were you ears ringing? I am beginning to think we should pay you royalties for every time we mention you in a conference presentation.
@Lindsea,
Which M.I.A?
50 comments on your post…50? You are so EDUPUNK
This one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.I.A._%28band%29
This one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.I.A._(artist)
Or this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messianic_Israel_Alliance
I’m absolutely certain (even though I have only read probably a 10th of all the Edupunk stuff out there) that everyone knows Wikipedia is the most Edupunk thing alive. Yes, it is alive. There is a one-word definition for Edupunk: (noun/adj.) Wikipedia.
At UMW, people save their files onto the library’s computers when they need to print things there, & I like to read those files cos no one ever erases them. It’s kind of like FOUND magazine (which is incredibly Edupunk. INCREDIBLY Edupunk now that I really think about it), but on computers…& at the library…& it’s not published.
Anyway, I stumbled across a 35-page thesis on the pros/cons & eventual credibility of Wikipedia. I skimmed it, & it was awesome, & now I really wish I had read the whole thing.
Wow, I don’t know why that was relevant at all. Still! My ears actually caught fire today, I was wondering what had caused such conflagration. Thanks for the heads up!
I meant M.I.A. the female politically charged hip hop artist. Check out the album Kala.
And you should weigh in on the discussion! I’d love to hear what you think about it.
