I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.
Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?
Rage Against The Machine is ok, but they are to me utterly eclipsed by the thousands of leftist artists before and after them that make far more poignant and interesting music both lyrically and musically.
Maybe I just haven’t tried the right material or listened to them enough, I have nothing against them but they just don’t grab me in the way every other leftist music artist has grabbed me, the ending song from The Matrix for instance while a cool mic drop in the film, I find just not very interesting.
I’ve listed some in my original comment, but if you’re curious I can list many many more.
I actually maintain a playlist here:
