yo, the new green day sucks hard core. Anyone who likes it is an [censored]. The best current political fueledmusic has to be Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros of Leftover Crack.

you know what? you have to be the single most ignorant person on this board. you spout off this completely untruthful and idiotic "look mommy, Im rebellious" political [censored], here and in SMP. You never back up anything at all you say there, and thus you have been kicked the [censored] out by smarter minds.

So now you open up this thread, and take time to present your opinion without any reason to back it up, and then insult everyone else who has an opinion other than yours. You really need to wake up and smell reality, because if you dont, you're going to make the mistake of saying the wrong thing to someone who shares your opinion of people who disagree with him.

I hate new Green Day too. Dookie was such a great album and they had a few other good songs. But I hate what they've become. Maybe their message is complex and well thought out, but I won't be able to take them seriously until Billy Joe Armstrong takes that [censored] eye makeup off. What does that have to do with the war?

Also, I have noticed that a majority of people that like new Green Day also like bands like Fall Out Boy, which shows they aren't into Green Day because of their politically fueled lyrics.

I liked the new album but only after a good three listenings, but at first I hated it. I have burned out 3 copies of dookie and it is my favorite album of all time. I just liked the new album for the story, and I think if you gave it a real shot, instead of this "st. anger"ish hatred from longtime fans, you might be surprised.

Since Joe Strummer has been dead for almost 3 years now, I think its pretty hard to call anything he did the best current politically fueled music.

I heard a song this guy did and I just hated it. I think it was recommended by someone on this board, it was just him slapping together as many five syllable words as he could and making all these terrible analogies and metaphors.

No, but the two big strikes were

1. This was supposed to be a great indicator of his talent from someone who liked him a lot and
2. Guys who rap like that tend to stick with it.

But if you have some of his stuff you think is different I'd be open to hearing it, I need some new hip hop.

Dominant Species
Caught in a Hustle
Bin Laden

I'm not sure how politically based Dance with the devil is...i think that while it's a really deep and dark track that i really like, it will turn most people off from his music and they wont give his other work a chance (especially the ending). I've experienced this when people listen to this track before any of his others.

ZZzzZZzz

He just asked for some good tracks by IT. I didn't mean for them to be political. Dance with the Devil surely is not hahaha

[Gary Stevenson]

fair enough.
I just get in a zone and listen to that song and it just creeps me out everytime i listen to it. cant keep it off the playlist though...

[siccjay]

I've found the opposite really. Most people I have let hear that track have been intrigued by it and want to hear more.

Sage Francis is another somewhat underground rapper who is politically motivated. I first heard him on a Punk-o-Rama CD, and they chose a particularly politically motivated song about 9/11 and the aftermath. All of his albums are politically motivated.
