Hard-headed Brooklyn rappers put some pop in their sonic assault
militant hip-hop hell-raisers Dead Prez court drama like no act since Public Enemy. But unlike those sonic assassins, Dead Prez know how to put the pop in agit-pop. "Fuck the Law" is a to-do list of social upheaval over a menacing, motoring guitar line, and "Paper, Paper" marries rhymes of desperation to double-time club-ready percussion. For Dead Prez, even the personal is
political. On "RBG Love," Stic.man imagines his dream woman in
personal-ad rhymes: "Gold in the grill/Cold as Pam Grier/Swoll in the rear." Every revolutionary needs
his fantasy.
