Niggers Are Scared Of Revolution

As an annual staple on rock the dub, here is my mix for July 4th. With what's gone on in Black America this year, I figured I had to cover two subjects: Obama for President and Sean Bell. I didn't think I could do this in a CD-length (i.e. under 80 minute) timeframe, so here's a 90-minute mixtape (split up into 45 minute mixes) for your cassette decks. Yes we took it back.

As you can see, a lot of new shit interspersed with some classic anthems. Shouts to anyone I spoke with on this. Your words mean a lot. Our country definitely needs a mess of change, and what better way to highlight it by with music.

PS: Yes, the title is lifted from The Last Poets. Yes, I believe it still holds water today.
