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<p>The site (ProphetsOfRage.com) doesn&#8217;t give too many clues about what&#8217;s actualy happening. There&#8217;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&#8217;s hometown of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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<p>Click on the article to read more.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Prophets of rage&#8221; is a track off the Public Enemy&#8217;s 1988 album &#8220;It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back.&#8221;<br \/>\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<p>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&#8217;t released new music together since the turn of the millennium and haven&#8217;t performed together since 2011. Chuck D has collaborated with the group before, taking the stage for a performance of &#8220;Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos&#8221; at the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands in 1996.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cryptic website popped up this week that had Rage against the machine fans excited&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-106091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-rB9","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106091"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106091\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
