I started it off.
Plug Zero 04-26-2007, 05:14 PM 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.

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.
