I had an anthropology professor in 2011 say "Today we are going to listen to a song that depicts the how those struggling on the fringe of society might possibly operate outside normally accepted societal means to survive." I immediately asked "Is it Dead Prez's 'Hell Yeah'?" and the look on her face when she paused and said "....Yes" is still with me to this day. Needless to say I was the only one in class rapping along. Dr Amason, hope you're doing well.

[@SvenskSork]

its funny 2023 and I still think people dint get the message. The whole thing was like a buildup to the ending. But this track is so good its still stuck in my mind. Dead Prez are so underrated in the old school HipHop community. Thank you guys for giving me this track growing up, kept me on the right side even when I was doing wrong for myself ^^

[@TheDionysiac]

Dead Prez is self-described as a politically revolutionary hip hop group. The message is that people at the bottom of society live in conditions and within systems that make these crimes almost necessary for survival. The ending is just another part of the oppression cycle the video is outlining. It's not a "this is the ending crimes deserve" type of message.

[@tomtomthebear]

Let’s get free is one of the greatest hip hop albums out there....there are not many out there like dead prez...!!! Real shit

This video got me stuck the first time I watched this because before the song even started I was hit with a flash back of visiting Miami and having the exact same situation happen to me pulling down a wrong turn road. The only difference was I floored the gas and accelerated as fast as I could not slowing down for anything or anyone. Probably only reason I’m around still. Crazy how much truth is spit in this track. Way underrated for the knowledge being dropped in it. Dead prez is raw.

@@rajukhatri8991 it takes a lot of time to understand this, because you gotta learn about power dynamics and labor strategies. on top of all that you gotta know your history. these dudes got life experience through community work and did a lot of reading but a good place to start is by looking up "work-to-rule" also look up how wages have stagnated while worker productivity has more than doubled in the past 50 years, plus you got inflation on top of that. minimum wage ain't been a livable wage for decades and politicians still fool people into thinking we're asking too much for $10-20/hour. the burger costing more than one hour of work is just a way of illustrating that point
