"Night of the Living Baseheads" by Public Enemy
I chose a rap song I didn't know. I listen to some classic rap but none of public enemy. I saw the music video in class and it was pretty cool. The song has a nice beat and some great bars. This song comes with the trend of commenting on issues in society. At the time cocaine was ravaging the black poor communities. The music video is satire and makes fun of those who think drugs and rap cause violence. The visuals are funny and unique. It's a pretty good song and I added it to my classic rap playlist.
I think it’s interesting that you specifically chose a song you didn’t know, it’s a good way to try different genres you might not listen to otherwise. The fact that Public Enemy was able to use their music to make statements about what they believed in was very really cool.
