I didn’t quite realize this song was twenty-five fucking years old. I find it upsetting to realize this. Yuck.
There is literally nothing special about it. It has that older hip-hop sound. More bass, less bounce. Back when people really rapped not just spoke quickly. (Not that this song is a shining example of that.) Their voices are innately angry, even when they are not mad.
If you had asked me to make my own list, this song would not have made it. The minute I saw it on the list I knew I had listened to it countless times and it belonged there. If you had asked me if I like this song I would have said something with a shrug attached….”yeah, it’s good.” But the minute I played it (in my headphones) I said (aloud to the room), “Come on, this is a great fucking song.”
I also don’t know if I had ever seen the Dead Prez before. I fully enjoyed watching the video and seeing so so many hip hop culture cliches. That is where I live.
