Need a song dealing with US History!

[turtles]

haha play some immortal technique, sick songs but some of the lyrics are just so fucking stupid when he starts talking about the government and shit. some of his songs are about US history i guess or mexican history idk

 

[Casey]

haha yeah, the only reason I suggested it is because it would be hilarious.

 

[...WIBBS...]

Yeah US HISTORY by FLIPSYDE is dope but also KENJI by FORT MINOR is about japanese people in America in WW2.

 

[TheQuailman]

Hahahaha. It'd be so funny to play that Immortal Tech song. Also, that Vietnam one by Jedi Mind Tricks is good. If I can find an edited version I might use that.

If I go up in front of the class and play a rap song like that it is gunna be hilarious. I mean every other kid is gunna pick some dumb stupid druggie hippie song from the 60s that bitches about the war.

I was also thinking about Fight the Power by Public Enemy, changes by tupac or this..

 

[StanMcStanson]

Immortal Tech- The 4th Branch is a good one, and yeah, Brother Ali has a bunch of solid political songs that have already been mentioned in this thread. Oh, and "Light Up Ya Lighter" by Michael Franti.

 

[chapz]

something by immortal technique or jedi mind tricks.

 

[TheQuailman]

Don't mean to drag this thread on forever, but I think I'm going to use Uncommon Valor by Jedi Mind, I found an edited version and its a sick song for Vietnam. Plus we spent a while talking about Vietnam and the soldiers experiences during the year so its perfect. And its gunna be great playing Jedi Mind Tricks for my class.

Thanks for the help.

May not be the most popular by any means, but, Ballad of Ira Hayes by Johnny Cash. Its all about one of the guys who raised the American flag on Iwo Jima.

Hard Rains A-Gonna fall- Bob Dylan Cold war era inspired. Hard rain implies nuclear fall out.

Uncle Sam Blues- Hot tuna About fighting over seas. great song if you like 12 bar blues

Poor Moon-Canned Heat Alan Wilson wrote this song at the start of the modern environmental movement.

 

[BOSSignol]

that was the first thing that came to my mind as well. JMT know about it

 

[PopsicleStand]

these songs are broader, not a specific thing, so im not sure if they will work.

 

[KOOL_skweeze]

US History by Flipside its perfect it goes through the years of us history making different countries into people and its a chill rap song
