Don’t forget Chuck D- “ If you ain’t in the battle, don’t comment on the war”

La riots were in April and may of 92. This album came out in November 92.

Forever one of the Greatest Bands Ever and forever in my all-time Top 10!🤘❤🤟

Must react to WAKE UP!!!

_Know Your Enemy_ is another important Rage song.

That's the first song I hurt my neck listening to

You have to check out know your enemy and bring the power back by rage

I am loving your reactions to Rage Against the Machine. I love this track. A few other suggestions. Down rodeo, wake up, take the power back, know your enemy. I also love the live version of testify live at Finsbury Park.

This was the 1st song on the album. 25 seconds into this song, I was hooked. Been my favorite band ever since.

Rage is very unique. There’s never been another band like them and there never will be 💯💯💯💯

✊🏾Zack did a song with The Last Emperor and KRS-1 called C.I.A. (criminals in action) Put that to your eardrums. ✊🏾

Thanks for the sub!

Hasta la victoria siempre

Next songs is Know Your Enemy,Wake Up,bulls on parade,down rodeo,Bullet in the head, always use the lyrics🔥👊

First and only, to be new metal would imply there was old metal when this came out. There wasn't enough out there to classify anything like that

It’s coming.

“Super gremlin” by Joell Ortiz Crooked I or “thoughts in my mind”by Chris Orrick,Verbal Kent Apollo Brown 🔥🔥🔥

Prophets of Rage was a side project from a few years ago that’s real good. Not as good as Rage lol it’s the guitarist bass and drummer w/ Chuck D & B Real rapping. Hence the name Prophets of Rage. Audioslave is the same band with Chris Cornell singing. But the Magic happens with Zack on the mic 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Check out some Thrash metal next! Metallica is probably the most accessible (Try "Master of Puppets") but then Anthrax did a collaboration with Public Enemy that was a big deal. (For Anthrax on their own, I like "Medusa"). Other notable acts are Megadeth and Slayer. Those are "The Big Four" of Thrash - kind of the "Founding Fathers." Thrash developed in the early 80's, as response to the decadent excess of disco and the Glam rock sound from LA (Def Leppard, Poison, Motley Cru, etc). Thrash had a resurgence in the mid 00's too, so it's still a vital part of Heavy Metal (for modern thrash, I like Havok or Hatchet).

nnnmm... that sh*t sounded good

PUBLIC ENEMY are the only rappers that come close to content like RATM...certainly not Ice Cube. Shout out to Immortal Technique, he's tryin.

Cube did most of the lyrics writing for NWA. Certainly not the same scope as PE or RAtM, but still deserving to be included.

I hear your point, Cube certainly illuminated the plight of inner city youths. He also had such quotables as "life ain't nothin but bitches and money". Maybe that is transformational? Maybe the world needed to know that? Straight outta Compton was my favorite album for a couple of years. I'm not lying when i tell you that NWA changed my town overnight. We were 16 year olds in a small farm town... then we were hard ass gangstas the next week. Girls we had known our whole lives were suddenly bitches and hos. My best friend starting carrying a stolen pistol. NWA certainly prompted change in my town, but not for the better. Yes, we were impressionable idiots... but they glorified fighting, killing, bitch slappin, dopeman, cop killin, etc, etc... I'm gonna check that RATM file, I don't recall much of that content in People of the Sun or Wake Up or Bulls... etc, etc. "Not in the same scope as PE and RATM"... yes, I'll AGREE with that.

This song is about the fight for freedom in Peru... NOT THE LA RIOTS. The intro should have tipped you off?

Your comments at the end about the content of the song show you weren't paying attention. THEY LITERALLY TELL YOU in the video what its about. words literally taking up the whole screen!

Sorry, but you can't put any rapper to rage against the machines. Beat or Refs Zack is the only one that speaks these bars.

Public enemy is garbage won’t even come close to to ratm

You need some energy! Doesn't look like your into it, looks like your just going through the motions of making a video. Amp yourself up and have fun with what your doing! Good luck!

Shit comment

@8:00 'was this shot before the riots?' SUBBED dig ur appreciation of their artistic activism! This album was released 6+ MONTHS AFTER RODNEY KING BRUTALITY the song Killing in the Name Of is specificially about the L.A Riots. i lived mile from LAX & was a sophomore in HS & remember that video being the 1st time i saw REAL people inflicting REAL pain on someone, one someone & i still don't have the words but i have the RAGE. the RAGE of it being done in 'our name' the disgust at the lack of disgust. realizing that the public reaction was nowhere near enraged enough to stop it from getting worse. Ugly Evil People PLOT, exploiting all APATHY, SUBMISSIONS TO AUTHORITY & in 1992, when Rodney King was tortured, shooting people in the back for disobedience wasn't happening! cops were not openly being so bold about forced compliance or else THE 50 folks on the Board of Directors of the 6 companies that feed us food, meds, info, etc, PUT IN WORK TO MAKE IT SO WE GOT WORSE AS A SPECIES but i'd say the exponential rise in teen suicide rates have to stand as proof of our failure as the inhumanity we let be inflicted in our name ... huh maybe they linked??
