\"Prophets<\/p>\n

A cryptic website popped up this week that had Rage against the machine fans excited for a possible reunion. Now it seems like not only the RATM is included in this project , but 2 more great hip hop artists are included aswell, Public Enemy and Cypress Hill.<\/p>\n

The site (ProphetsOfRage.com) doesn’t give too many clues about what’s actualy happening. There’s a logo type of picture above it and a timer and a hashtag #TakeThePowerBack. A lot of posters of the same type and the website address started poping all around RATM’s hometown of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

It seems through the spill of information that everyone exept Zack de la Rocha is teaming up with Public Enemy frontman Chuck D and Cypress Hill’s B-Real to perform songs from all 3 of the great collectives. The debut concert sets time and place at Hollywood Palladium on June 3.<\/p>\n

“Prophets of rage” is a track off the Public Enemy’s 1988 album “It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back.”
\nThis indicates a probability of a great political movement in music which is more than needed in this time and the merge of 3 different stylistical standpoints towards the same cause. Rage Against the Machine voice viewpoints are highly critical of the domestic and foreign policies of current and previous US governments. <\/p>\n

Throughout its existence, RATM and its individual members participated in political protests and other activism to advocate these beliefs. They reunited for a few years in the late 2000s, but haven’t released new music together since the turn of the millennium and haven’t performed together since 2011. Chuck D has collaborated with the group before, taking the stage for a performance of “Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos” at the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands in 1996.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
