“The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” (1971) – Gil Scott-Heron
“Get up Stand Up” (1973) – Bob Marley
“F*ck tha Police”* (1988) – N.W.A.
*disclaimer – totally forgot how HARD this cut was, daaaaaayum son! Y’all know this is the same Ice Cube from “Are We There Yet” riiiiiight?? Talk about a 180… #wow
“Fight the Power” (1989) – Public Enemy
“I Won’t Back Down” (1989) – Tom Petty
Yeah I threw Tom P in the mix – he’s on message so deal with it.
And yeah, I’m in one of THOSE moods today – #dontnobodybringmenobadnews
Maybe next week, I’ll do a list of songs about peace and love, rainbows and unicorns and “can’t we all just get along” type stuff – MAYBE…
