Free Music Notes for RBG: Revolutionary But Gangsta
Free Music Review: A far reach from Lets get Free {3 and 1/2 stars}
Hit: 4 Stars
Standout tracks: WALK LIKE A WARRIOR(excellent match up with Krayzie Bone), I HAVE A DREAM TOO, D.O.W.N., HELL YEAH(original, remix with Jay-z and rock and roll remix are all cool with me), W-4, RADIO FREQ and WAY OF LIFE. Filler: 20(WTF?), F***ed up and 50 in the clip(dope beat but a song about pushups?). Bottom Line: Dead Prez's sophomore effort is inferior to their first album(Lets Get Free)which now enjoys classic status. The songs have some good gems in them but it seems kind of incomplete. It almost feels like a rush job album. Im not saying you shouldnt buy this album. Im saying you should get Lets get free first and buy this one as a good companion piece.
RBG: Revolutionary But Gangsta Poster
Yep, this is Dead Prez's famously long-delayed album, finally surfacing after a string of label deals gone wonky, but no amount of red tape could've stopped the Red, Black, and Green movement--colors of the African Liberation flag--that is tirelessly championed here. Equal part activists and MCs, Stic and M1 continue their unwavering quest to rally the oppressed for a full-scale war against the State, as evidenced early on in "Walk Like a Warrior." When guest Krayzie Bone starts his triple-time rhyming against societal oppression--now that's beyond gangsta. DP slyly churn out their Pan-Africanist agenda throughout these 12 tracks, but it's actually their more focused tirades that win out: on "W-4" they rail against unjust worker conditions and wages, and on "Radio Freq" they implore folks to "turn off the radio" to protest the monotony that plagues commercial urban radio. There are a few less, er, diplomatic tracks that might not win over new fans who don't share their interest in radical activist dogma; on the other hand, a track like "Hell Yeah (Pimp the System)"--with its get-money-quick schemes (performing stick-ups or skimming cash from the register at work) and a remix featuring Jay-Z--might expand the audience. Although not as sonically fluid as their Let's Get Free debut, RBG's great in-house beats still magically match the intensity of their rhymes. Now how many other politico MCs can claim that? --Dalton HigginsRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
