Are you Familiar the song “It’s Bigger Than Hip Hop” it dropped in 1999 & become an instant Hip Hop classic talking about Payola & the lifestyle of the Music Industry with verses like:
“For my brother locked up in the jump for a year
Shit is real out here don’t believe these videos
This Fake Ass Industry gotta pay to get a song on the radio.”
“Ay dogg that label is that slave ship
Owners got them whips and rappers is slaves
If you really wanna eat you gotta hear the same thing
With the football, b-ball, or if you slangin that dope
Ain’t never seen no hope, brainwash videos shows be foolin’ my folk”.
It’s funny how good music with good content is timeless.
M1 & Stic-Man were at the Shrine on July 2, 12 I got a chance to talk to them about their upcoming Dead Prez Album called “Information Age” coming soon to I Tunes & on Http://DeadPrez.com This album “Information Age” has been a couple years in the making discussing Life in the world of Today.
When I asked about the Inspiration of their music
M1
“I’ve been trying to turn this Mu’Fucker over, ever since I found out the System was broken and I wanted become revolutionary and that has helped inform everything I’ve wrote down as a MC EVER! And I learned that from some of the Dopest MC’s that could be, and they helped me become who I am.”
Stic-Man
“More Music, Listening to Music, Living Life, Struggling, Learning, & Survival, & Everything under the sun. Staying awake, staying woke & writing it Down.”
Later that night Dead Prez hit the stage and rocked the house with the crowd standing shoulder to shoulder at The Shrine. Below I have some more video performances and some pictures from the show
