Propaganda
The album Let’s Get Free by Dead Prez came out 26 years ago.
As a teen, it spoke to my angst. As a whole ass adult, its wild to look back on it and realize just how much nuance and bigger picture I missed in their lyrics.
Yesterday, their song “Propaganda” came on a random playlist I was listening to…
You can’t fool all the people all of the time
But if you fool the right ones, then the rest will fall behind
Tell me who’s got control of your mind? Your world view?
Is it the news or the movie you’re taking your girl to?
In an era where mainstream media is even less up to the task of the moment than it was in 2000, this song hits different.
