Political Rap. Musical style. DJ information blog.

In trying to move forward, leaving behind a climate events in the style of old-school rap, as well as the desire to forget the frustrations associated with inner-city blues (urban blues in release 80th), - a few hip-hop teams decided to mix with lively rhythm political doctrine to create a new style of rap. Such teams as the Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron, Public Enemy, inspired in 70th of the country's political leaders have become the best musicians among political rap groups. The leader of this direction Chuck D did fusion rhythms rapper best of all, continuing to accuse the Government (in compositions "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos," "Fight the Power"). In his works, he also appealed to such topics as the culture of white America ( "Rebel Without a Pause," "Burn Hollywood Burn") and various socio-political conflicts ( "911 Is a Joke," "Night of the Living Baseheads") . Such teams as the Bomb Squad, KRS-One and his group Boogie Down Productions also begun to voice their opinions, using stringent attacks and recriminations in the party of power. Examples of this are songs of "Illegal Business" (illegal business) and "Stop the Violence" (Stop the violence), which supported blacks and appealed to the leaders of the capitalist world.
What initially seemed fertile ground for the development of musical culture, in fact proved very short-lived. Public Enemy descended from the distance since 1991, and despite the large number of fresh entries from the new generation of political rappers (Poor Righteous Teachers, Paris, X-Clan, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy), superiority and commercial success of new lines of hip-hop gangsta rap or G-funk sound made by the company less active against less successful music.
