About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Though their methods aren't subtle, Dead Prez are as intelligent and philosophical a group of social activists as Public Enemy or Boogie Down Productions -- it's just that their philosophies stray more to the Geto Boys style of extreme criminal fantasies. RBG stands for Revolutionary But Gangsta, a stance that the Dead Prez duo Stic and M1 back up with tale after lurid tale of inner-city life. They're showing their listeners how to strive and how to survive, whether it means scamming welfare or credit cards for all they're worth ("Hell Yeah [Pimp the System]"), decrying the messages of commercial radio ("Radio Freq"), or dreaming of responding to organized violence with a police-station drive-by. They're not without a sense of humor ("F***ed Up" is a cautionary alcoholic's tale that prompts the line, "Let's make a toast to my liver and my kidneys"), but without clear lines between fact and fantasy, it's impossible to tell where the group is attempting to educate and where they're attempting to entertain. (Chuck D and KRS-One knew well not to confront their listeners with every track they wrote.) Jay-Z stops by for a rhyme on a remix of "Hell Yeah (Pimp the System)," but even he sounds constrained (and understandably so) by the subject matter. John Bush, All Music Guide

April 18, 2004: I'm new to DP, never heard any of their stuff before this album, but as soon as I got this one I went out and got a couple more by them. If you like their 1st album, you'll love this one. Same pro-black attitude but much better, top-notch production quality. "Hell Yeah" is probably their first radio hit, despite its radio-unfriendly revolution-by-shoplifting content. This one is hot from start to end. Get it, you won't be disappointed.

April 17, 2004: This album has to be in the top ten when 2004 is over. From the production, to the uplifting rhymes, this album is a must have for all people, not just the hip-hop generation. Dead prez may lack commercial success, but that doesn't stop them from getting their point across, black unity and upliftment. Press on my brothers!!!!
