With the apocalypse approaching on this coming Tuesday, I thought it appropriate to make a show out of it. Hip Hop as a genre has had plenty to say about this election cycle and politics in general. I just compiled some songs that express those opinions.
| Artist | Song | Album | Record Label | DJ Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YG & Nipsey Hustle | FDT | Saw this performed live this summer, at the Endless Summer tour. Straight forward and blunt. | ||
| Asheru | Judo flip | This is the original mix of the song used as "The Boondocks" theme. | ||
| Run The Jewels | Early (feat. Boots) | Run The Jewels 2 | One of the more impactful and original songs about police brutality that I've hear. | |
| Killer Mike | Reagan | R.A.P. Music | "Jesus is Black. Ronald Reagan was the devil. And the government is lying about 9 11."- Huey Freeman | |
| Kendrick Lamar | For Free? (Interlude) | To Pimp A Butterfly | it ain't freeeeeeeeeeeee! | |
| Young Jeezy | My President (feat. Nas) | The Recession | ||
| Flatbush Zomies | Amerikkkan Pie | Better Off Dead | ||
| clipping. | Fat Fingers | Probably one of my least favorite clipping. songs, but even at their low points they are still pretty gosh darn good. | ||
| YG | FTD Part 2 (feat. Macklemore & G-Eazy) | Saw this live before it was released online. Its really good! | ||
| Kendrick Lamar | Hood Politics | To Pimp A Butterfly | "Red state versus a blue state." |
