As GenX, Xennial, whatever we’re called these days, I miss this guy. I have to remind myself, 40s and 50s isn’t dead, yet.
Bite the Hand that Feeds comes to mind. Reznor refused to perform it at an awards show during the Gulf War because they wouldn’t let him display a giant head shot of George W. Bush during. Then there’s Bowie. Reznor was “Johnny” in the “I’m Afraid of Americans” video.
We also had Rage. What music is being produced now, rock side, that’s worth a damn?
ETA: Head. Like a Hole is fitting, in the billionaire era.
Run the Jewels has collaborated with Zach De la Rocha and Nobody Speak with DJ Shadow is an anthem.
Viagra Boys has some catchy antifascist lyrics.
I kinda like the Idles’ album Tangk. It more rock and makes some good points, mainly to “fuck the king”
The Nobody Speak video is so good!
And while they’re not current, I recently discovered a late 90’s early-aughts rap group called The Coup that was basically writing the soundtrack for everything happening now (which just goes to show that these issues have been with is for a long time).
A few notable tracks that spring to mind:
Can’t believe I didn’t hear about this group back in the day, they’re one of my favorite discoveries in recent memory.
Boots Riley from The Coup and Tom Morello from RATM teamed up for a minute and put out the project Street Sweeper Social Club which has some bangers. Also the best indie political hip hop that's come out lately is hands down from Infinity Knives and Brian Ennals. Their album A City Drowned in God's Black Tears was my favorite album from last year.
