Dead Prez: Revolutionary but Gangsta Grillz mixtape- Street rating: a friendly high five

Am I the only one who didn’t know that Dead Prez puts out mixtapes? It blew my mind to think about them on a DJ drama mixtape over tracks used by Drake, Gucci Mane, Lloyd Banks and Pat Benetar. The mixtape format works really well here too: Dead Prez takes songs about, you know, stuntin’ and bonin’ and flossin’ and stuff and raps over every one about way realer shit, I mean if you listen to Dead Prez you already know what they‘re going to say here. “Beamer Benz or Bentley” becomes “Malcom, Garvey, Huey”, there's more rhymes about raising the children they have, "ghetto gospel with a little T-pain", and the whole thing ends with the sound of a bong rip.
