While it’s rare in Japan, it’s common overseas for rappers to take on political issues.

Many artists turn those viewpoints into songs, a style generally referred to as socially conscious rap.

One group known as pioneers of this movement is Public Enemy.

Their track “Fight The Power” is one of their hit tunes, characterized by powerful lyrics that, as mentioned, express deep dissatisfaction with society.

Rebel Without A PausePublic Enemy2rank/position

As pioneers of socially conscious rap, Public Enemy is a hip-hop crew that has had a huge influence on today’s rappers and heads.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend is Rebel Without a Pause.

If you’re a fan of Japanese MC battles, you’ve probably heard this track at least once, right? Although it was their first single, it was put together at a tempo exceeding 100 BPM—which was considered fast at the time—and drew attention both for its musicality and for the political messages in its lyrics.
