Seriously, I've never heard of this, but some how some way Common, dead prez and The Last Poets apparently had a single out in 2004 that's called "Panthers". Question is, why have I never heard of this before, let alone having heard the actual song? Does anyone know what's the deal with this?

Speaking of Dead Prez:

Hell yeah! Dave Chappelle is probably on his farm in Ohio reading this and grinning like Tyrone Biggums coming out of rehab. One of his favorite groups, Dead Prez — the duo consisting of M-1 and Stic.man — have teamed up with a certain deep-thinker from Queens, New York.

"We've done quite a few songs with Nas," M-1 recently revealed. "We have had a relationship for years. Stic had did a song with just him on it. And I did a song with just me and Nas on it. I don't know when it'll surface yet."

With so much happening in the headlines lately — from the Sean Bell shooting to the Don Imus controversy to the call to clean up rap lyrics — hip-hop's most outspoken duo have been conspicuously absent. But according to M-1, he and Stic.man have plenty to say about it all and are prepping records to be released soon. Stic is currently putting the finishing touches on his solo debut, but after that DP — who have been in the studio with KRS-One, Nas and noted professor Cornell West — will be looking for a new recording home to put out their next group project. M-1 said the effort will be about justice prevailing.

"People don't have political clarity. And young people are not clear on their positions and not able to speak. I don't know if you consider me young or not," said M, who's in his early 30s. "I can tell you my position comes from an informed political stand. ... A lot of positions are ambiguous. ... The leadership has not emerged to be present enough to speak out ... I'd be interested to see who does have a position that could give clarity to what is happening now.

"Al [Sharpton] and Russell [Simmons]," he continued. "I think they are more into ambulance-chasing than actually grinding out [a] position that makes sense. I think it'll take some sincere forces that don't have any interest in anything other than changing our community and making things better."

For now, M-1 is lending a hand again to the upcoming Black August festival this summer and working on "Birth of a Nation," a multimedia project he's been putting together consisting of a Web site, CD and accompanying DVD.

"It's an organizational tool to get more interactive with people who feel like there is no inroads to get their voices heard," he said. "We're gonna [use it to] address all the recent issues." ...

FUCK YES. M-1 speaks the goddamn truth about Russell and Sharpton having alterior motives to their behaviors. Hip Hop needs a new Dead Prez album, and this one sounds sick.
