Dead Prez - Pulse of the People


To call Dead Prez a "serious" hip hop group would be an understatement. Every verse that the duo of stic.man and M-1 write is meant to evoke thought. Whether it be the government (a favorite subject of theirs), religion, the media (also a hot topic), or even vegetarianism, these two stand behind each word 100%. Their latest mixtape (as put together by mixtape mastermind Green Lantern and the third in the "Turn Off the Radio" series) continues to spread their revolutionary word that first appeared in 2000's masterpiece Let's Get Free (hands down one of the greatest hip hop records ever released). Although nothing Dead Prez releases will hold a candle to their debut opus, they are, nevertheless, a group that can make you nod your head while contemplating their lyrics at the same time.
