Song for one of my classes...

[doritos]

I'm in this class called Social Difference and I need to find a song that illustrates racism and prejudice in today's society and write a paper about it... I was thinking of using "Leaving the Past" by Immortal Technique, but it only addresses that in a few of the lines, so any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Common featuring Will.I.Am - I have a dream

 

[St.Steezy]

well you could do that blatant, tupac- changes.

ZOMG-

use "the gates" by cunninglynguists feat. tonedeff

 

[Jamesl48]

It's pretty cliche, but "Changes" by Tupac is a great song that deals with racism and prejudice.

 

[doritos]

Aight, thanks much everyone. I'll look at the lyrics for all of those and see which is the easiest to make an essay out of haha.

"Fed Up With the Bullshit" by Big L or Nas "Rule" or just about any Public Enemy song. Mos Def's "Mr. Nigga" would work well too.

Hymn To Freedom-Oscar Peterson,

There's no words, it's all piano but it's about over coming bigotry and injustice.

 

[doritos]

..How? Haha, just curious.

 

[Fintendo]

If you listen to it you'll understand. Since when did you have to have words in a song to convey a message?

 

[Quinn]

well....the hurricane by bob dylan. but thats not really "todays society"

 

[JFerg]

Fuck The Police by NWA would be so sick. It's got alot of irrelavent stuff in it, but there's a ton on police brutality towards blacks.

 

[doritos]

Ooohh, damn good one, I forgot about that song. Thanks for all the suggestions.
