"Hell Yeah" is the relatively radio-friendly single from dead prez's 2004 "RBG" (Revolutionary But Gangsta). It merely suggests first steps for self proclaimed gangstas to start "banging on the system". Other tracks are not so coy.

hell yeah is a stupid piece of shit song. yeah run up on the poor ass pizza delivery guy and pull a scam with no end game to ruin your own credit, thats revolutionary, dead prez might as well have had the fbi write those lyrics, that is the first and last dead prez album i ever heard and it was ass, it was played for me by this bug eyed white guy who was the kid of a conservative state rep and frequented stormfront and wsws dot org and ended up taking a bunch of 5-meo-dmt and assaulting his roommates because he thought they were clones

yeah because the fbi is notorious for encouraging blacks to fight the white man any way they can instead of fighting each other. Nice opinion mate

maybe theres some political or survival point to be made by trying to rob a service worker whose entire cash roll is like ten dollars in tips but if anyone followed the plan they try to offer to use each others identities to commit credit card fraud it would be pretty thoroughly self destructive

what can i tell you, if you want to share the gospel of rbg with everyone please tell them first not to follow the fraud advice in that song unless they want to have people breathing down their necks about it for the rest of their lives, again, it sounds like something the fbi wrote

kids always make sure that when you steal an identity it's someone you know personally! and make sure at the same time that person has stolen your identity to pull the exact same scam, these credit people never talk to each other

I think you're missing a lot of context here. This song is saying "hey, wannabe gangsta. if you're gonna do crimes, which is likely because you live in poverty, then here are some fun things to try that don't involve decimating our own community with drugs and gun violence." Sure, it might seem morally wrong to run up on some pizza delivery kid for free pizza and cash, but they're not advocating physically hurting him, and the economic welfare of some white boy is not their concern. And what, you shouldn't do credit card fraud because it'll ruin your credit rating? Once again, not really a concern if the goal is not to become an acceptable member of white middle class society.

"Hell yeah" needs to be understood not only within the context of commercial rap, which broadly encourages young black men to climb over each others corpses in the pursuit of individual wealth, but also within the context of the rest of the RGB album. Dead prez do not simply advocate petty crimes and fraud. They say, read about black liberation. Read about marxism. Eat healthy. Train for combat. Build community. Smash the state. Don't stop fighting until you achieve true freedom. But i guess since that one idiot white boy you knew liked the album for some reason, that invalidates the message??

what im saying is that they offer a plan to commit credit card fraud, and it makes about as much sense as stealing a card from someone's wallet, putting it in an envelope and mailing it to the cops with a confession letter, they specifically suggest doing things that will make you more likely to get caught like trading identities with someone you know and simultaneously reporting cards stolen for insurance claims while leaving trails of evidence that each of you stole the other's card, and i dont like the idea of people with revolutionary ambitions starting out by radio tagging themselves for the feds

heres a fair enough analogy: a bank robber and his friend create convincing masks of each others faces and go to rob two banks, making sure theyre seen so each of them is incriminated for the other's crime. they also write down the address of the other person and all the information needed to identify him and find him at the counter of the bank they each rob. then they each go home and count the money, because after all, they each have the perfect alibi, which is that they were each robbing another bank at the time, they can show you the masks and everything

So your criticism of dead prez boils down to, their credit card fraud plan is bad and i dont like the song anyway. Forget i tried to even argue thje point then. All rap music is bad. Whatever
