Zack de la Rocha has some BARS but this isn't really the song to showcase it since it's more a "bash you over the head with the same line until it sticks" song. I'd love to see you react to Down Rodeo or Wake up. Bulls on Parade is a classic too. 🤟💯

So to your public enemy reference. In 2016 Prophets of Rage formed. It was Tom Morello the guitarist, Chuck D , DJ Lord and B Real. They formed right as the Trump rallies were heating up

Have to say I wasn’t a fan. I was so excited when I heard they were releasing their self titled single. I love cypress, rage and PE so you me it would be perfect. Instead it just sounded like Tom morello played over cypress. It just didn’t fit well for me which is crazy. Admittedly I haven’t listened to anything besides their self titled single

[@Kevin-cu2fy]

Rage is one of the best mixes of hip hop and rock that has ever existed... you should check out some Renegades of Funk, Take the Power Back, or Down Rodeo...They all have strong Public Enemy kinda vibes. You guys have just found a gold mine that is nearly 30 years old and still more relevant today than ever.

[@heyimgoingtoplaysomegames]

I'm a white man who grew up in the US legit not knowing what racism was. I have family members that are black. My family racially integrated years ago, so this concept about "race" was totally foreign to me. It just didn't make sense. To me, it was like hating a member of your own family, because my family was made up of all colors, shapes, sizes, and ages. That's how it always was. Then, I realized that there was, at high levels, integrated racism, from POLICE FORCES, and GOVERNMENT. I was blown away. Some of the people that represent us, are despicable, racist bigots, and yet, they stand on their podiums, begging for more tax-payer dollars and support for government overreach. Couldn't be happier to see people diving back into what I consider "classic rock", and finding the incredible lyrical gems within. Thank you!!!

Zachary de la Rocha: Mexican-American singer. PhD in anthropology. Tom Morello: African-American guitarist. Master's in political science from an ivy league school. The most innovative guitarist in all of rock 'n roll. Ever. That's the reason those lyrics remain relevant and timeless decades later.

First time watching you guys, just to let you know I just subscribed too. But just had to tell you, it’s wonderful to see people reacting to RATM. But to see you guys actually listen to it and truly understand the lyrics is the best part. For me growing up this song was just a song I listened to, in the dressing room as a pump up song before hockey. As a white dude from Newfoundland Canada that’s what this song was for me. But for you guys right now, it’s legit life. And that sucks. Keep safe, keep watching more Rage too. Peace and love.

This came out in the aftermath of the LA Riots in the 90's...after the beating of Rodney King. RATM are deeply engrained in equality and in the fight against injustice. This band, and their message, became an outlet for what many of us were feeling at the time. Rage changed the rock world.

[@kristylopez6869]

Listening to Rage back then was the first exposure I ever got as a little white girl growing up in the rural south to the idea that systemic injustice is inherent at every level in our country. I had Rage on a loop all throughout my teens and exploring their lyrics opened up an entirely new way of thinking and seeing the world for me. I'm a hardcore liberal to this day and this was where it started. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would say that either. Powerful lyrics.

@@kristylopez6869 same. I grew up very naive and sheltered in a white suburban community where we never even locked our doors at night. The LA Riots and fallout from the beating of Rodney King opened my eyes to some of the real problems of the world. When Killing in the Name of came out...I found myself immersed in their message and that made me aware of the inequality people face in the world as well as the massive problem of police brutality our nation faced. I've been a massive fan since. Thirty years later their songs are more relevant than ever. But then again...the black community has been dealing with these types of problems for 300 years so the past thirty is literally just a drop in the bucket. Sadly.

Nice! Glad to see you guys brought some Rage in. You really can't go wrong with anything from them, but their first album is outstanding. Check out Take The Power Back, Wake Up, or Township Rebellion for sure.

Public Enemy were the first group to take them on tour. They went on tour with P.E. before their 1st album was released. Chuck D. is in a group with the band right now. Prophets of Rage.

Greetings from Indonesia! RATM has been my all time favorite band for decades! This song cant be anymore relevant to this day and age! I'm all with #blacklivesmatter and #defundthepolice . Keep the rage!

Love that you guys are on to Rage. Plenty of their other songs have great bars and flow but I look at this song like a protest chant. You keep speaking the message over and over until no one can ignore you.

This song hit hard when it came out, we played it non stop & parents hated it. Rage was one of the first bands I heard calling stuff out in the 90s
