Flear of a Black Planet. Tackled racism and America's innate fear of integration.

I dunno, that may be my favourite political album, though there aren't many that are completely political throughout.

an obvious one, Immortal Tech - Rev. 2

Honestly, I hate those fucking labels. Almost everything talked about in hip hop winds down to politics

I don't see how Jibbs or Young Dro's subject matter "winds down to politics" except for them being subject to "obscenity" and can be controversial at times.

Notice how I said "almost".

They're not hip-hop anyways :cool:
