socialist hip hop

[Blagsta]

Another great one from The Coup

hiphop sounds best in French.

It does, doesn't it. You'd have thought a more staccato language like German would have worked better but it doesn't at all. Arabic's good too - must be something to do with the gutteral vowel sounds.

Spanish, on the other hand, I've rarely heard work well - but this fits the thread and isn't bad:

 

[magneze]

to accompany the socialist reggae thread

I'll start with this little ditty about class war and chopping the heads off the ruling class



love this one

I'd like to like this more than once.

German hip-hop sounds akin to someone reciting a Hitler speech, even when the German rapper is rapping with an Americanised accent.

Bristol's QELD (né Quel Est La Date) mine a rich seam of anarchism/socialism:





Bonus points for sampling Class War miner Dave Douglass:

Always rather liked this mix of a rather mediocre track by a mediocre band - an anti-Poll Tax diatribe from 1990 by Scottish combo Sugar Bullet, retooled by Graeme Park & John Crossley.

“Demonstrate in mass - nothing happens cause you're working class...”

There's something of a lack of Immortal Technique here; is that because it's too easy?

A couple more - Querido FBI (trigger warning for 9/11 reference in the vid, but I think they're just saying the strategy of mass murder is bad) and Aguante (trigger warnings for cultural appropriation and controversial dissings of Mao and Stalin!)

Bit of a sweeping statement when there's a whole continent producing it The attempts to copy US hiphop are patchy, but you'd expect that - it's true of the UK too. You can't argue with reggaeton though - different rhythm, different rapping style more suited to Spanish. Calle 13 mentioned above is reggaeton-derived but if you'll forgive the least political track on the thread, you can't argue with a reggaeton classic like this:
