Get the message instead of distorting it Jul 02, 2009 To all of you 1 star givers. Its obvious from your superficial and limited range of interpretation that you'd not get the message.
Regardless of your focus on them rapping offensive lyrics and so-called racial slurs. You should instead look at the political,historical,and cultural,stand points in which they stand for.
Here is a selected number of reasons for 1 star reviews on this album:
1.They get easily offended if something or somethings sound racial to them.
2.They condemn the whole album if they dont hear certain accepted beats in it.
3.Although they profess to know their culture; they're totally blind towards being able to discern the message being spoken
4 Due to their bias mindedness; they start speculating about things from their premature unjustifiable reference points.
5.Generally, if they're white; they automatically down play the Emcees, if they hear certain slurs in their lyrics. Attention: If you like, email me back sometime! Then i'll take the time out to give you the etymology and the history of the term "Cracker" and what it really originally means.
6.Generally, if they're black, they automatically down play the Emcees if they oppose african/afrocentric/so-called african american people,in general,constantly remaining in the conditions of oppression,suppression,repression and depression; along with all of the other "pressions" in which a person can think of!
7.They're unable to either sympathize or empathize with people like 'Dead Prez'; who in which are lead to such intense convictions with rapping about the conditions of a people. Due to the daily prejudices and unfair justices in which black people face, in ways which're beyond the range in which many people will never see in this life time.
8.Also such 1 star reviews on this album are unable to get past their limiting approach of labelling Emcees as anti-semetic,racists,hate mongers,black panthers,black nationalists,radical groups,extremists,etc; You name it!
P.S.If you ever get tired of falsely calling informed black people "Anti-Semetic." And therefore; want to learn what the word/term really implies, and properly defines into. Then by all means; Ask! And,"Yea Shall Receive.
In reality the finger should be pointed at those "Global Elitist," who in which've openly expressed that they want to de-populate humanity,make african people/african americans extinct,the aids conspiracy aimed at destroying black people(Not only does history prove this,but also so does white whistleblowers(who've first hand knowledge of the unfortunate conspiracy on the black race,ugenic clinics and programs to make blacks sterile; along with killing the immune system and weakening the dominant melanated genes,purposely intensifying the mercury content in the various foods within civilization,martial law,destroying the atmosphere with biochemical,nuclear,electromagnetic frequency manipulations,famine plots,destroying the so-called ozone layer,creating economic decline, purposely destroying organic farms,etc;
Instead of pointing the finger at a couple of emcees who choose to rap about something in which is both political and culturally important to know. You should instead, be honored to hear anything positive,which can get rapped about;considering the times in which we live in! And stop being so fast to try and point out what you interpret as negative. Instead learn how to cipher and discern the positive things in which certain ones are talking about.
Many people are so accustomed to hearing meaningless mainstream rap. To where they lose sight and hearing of what matters the most in the world we live in.
They're trying to do more things for the community and upliftment of black people. They're doing more than many of you, who in which're just sitting up typing your bias minded perceptions as a computer review. This would be wise for you to consider: You should also get their other albums. Because they also go into, how we need to start taking responsibility for our actions; along with how we need to learn who we are as a people.
Although alot more could be said about this wonderful album! However, i'll leave you in peace by saying this down below.
Do yourself a favor and transcend your bias limitations! Because if not, they'll always keep you trapped in a box.
P.S. Peace to all of the conscious and political hip hop heads!

Let's Get Free didn't deliver for me. Aug 10, 2008 I thought this cd would be great but it turned out to be a one hit wonder for me. The only song I like is #4 Hip Hop. All the other songs just miss the bar. My advice is to listen to the samples of the songs and then make your own judgement. I'll just stick to Lil' Flip.
Hip Hop MASTERPIECE Apr 05, 2008 Let's Get Free will go down in history as one of hip hop's high- water marks. Dead Prez can take a simple beat and turn it into a beast. Several tracks here raise the hair on your arms, and the album as a whole is destined to be a timeless classic. The track "Hip Hop" is brilliant, and remains a potent anthem no matter how many times you play it. Never has a hip hop song so squarely hit its mark; it manages to showcase everything that can elevate hip hop to a true art, and simultaneously rhymes off everything that's wrong with it.
Dead Prez are one of hip hop's most gifted practicioners, and also one of its smartest. No one in hip hop does it quite like Dead Prez.
