Because it sounds good and it's funny. The same reason I listen to Johnny Rebel (that group of racist country singers from the late 60s). If I want to learn something I'll read books by political theorists or philosophers.if you're intelligent and you listen to music for political education then there is something wrong with you.

well their muusic is very driving and catchy, so you want their message to be right so you have the whole package, when in reality they are just offering their very slanted selfish view of the way things are. like, what the fuck is that shit about killing crackers up in city hall? i lvoe that line cuz its so inflammatory and im a enjoyer of good racism, but it is in no way political its just plain hate filled. this song in no way drops any real intelligence, which is sad because its beat will drill whatever lyrics into you. the only real thing i get out the song is beamer or justice, freedom or necklace or whatever, dead prez despite what their A&R package wants you to believe, really offer very little in the way of actual intelligence and any political persuasion, just angry nigger shit

A lot of the stuff Dead Prez talk about is true and on point. There's also somethings he talks about that I don't agree with, but I don't think someone who is white shouldn't stop listening to them, (well i they like them)<--this part i just added because it meant to be there.

You and the other person you bigged up for some reason got the idea that, i said listen to dead prez to learn history and politics. Never said that, I'm a person who is a firm believer in do you own research
Dosnt mean I wanna actually see it happen (rather see Bush in the Hague)
or for dead prez to create a communal utopia in the ghetto based on the I ching, people sharing and shit.
its music and its for people to sympathise with emotionally, or cus it simply sounds dope, or whatever...
