"dead prez guns"


  

          

What do you think of dead prez's glorication of guns in songs like their track on the latest Lyricist Lounge album ("I'm one with my gun, I love it like my 1st son...")? As far as their politics go, it does seem very in line with Black Panther ideology, but do you think it's positive that they are emphasizing this aspect of resistance in this day and age? Is it possibly a little irresponsible? From my Canadian perspective, I must admit it seems very sterotypically American. If dead prez are African first, are guns really one of the main things we need to be thinking about right now to further ourselves? They talk about the problems with the schools system in "They Schools", but what alternatives do they propose? Can you think of a line that speaks to issues of economic or technological development? Just wondering.
And remember...

"You're an African, you're an African / You need to know what's happenin'...."

(paraphrasin', y'all)
