I was first turned on to Propaganda on The BadChristian podcast. Back in 2014, when the podcast started, the goals of the hosts were to question the status quo of the evangelical church. In 2015, Propaganda first came on to talk about hip hop as social commentary and racism of the day. I heard the song "Precious Puritans," a song calling out conservative Christians who elevate conservative figures of the past despite their spiritual blindness in matters of race. When Propaganda came back on the podcast, he promoted his 2017 album Crooked, an album which dug deeper into the political and culture divide, particularly with white evangelicals acceptance of the policies and personality of the forty-fifth president.
WHY DO YOU LOVE YOUR GUNS THAN OUR SONS. I dug deeper into this song last year. Unlike yesterday, when I wanted to keep the focus on "Fast Car," I'd like to take the rest of this post to explain my picks for my Black History Month playlist. I'll list the links for songs I've talked about before.
3. "The Best" by Tina Turner. Turner was the first black woman on the cover of Rolling Stone. The story of her comeback, resilience, and radical forgiveness pushes us all to greatness.
6. "All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix
7. "Looking for America" by Switchfoot ft. Lecrae
9. "Mental" by Hundred Year Storm 10. "Where Is the Love" by Black Eyed Peas
11. "Black or White" by Michael Jackson
12. "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Diana Ross
13. "What's Goin' On" by Marvin Gaye
14. "Colored People" by DC Talk
15. "Superstitious" by Stevie Wonder
16. "Diamonds" by Rihanna
17. "Trinity" Paper Tongues is a multi-racial band from Charlotte, North Carolina. "Trinity" is a song about the Christian duty to humankind.
18. "I'll Rise" (Asteroid) by All Together Separate
19. "Here We Go" by Grits
20. "No Church in the Wild" by JAY-Z, Kanye West ft. Frank Ocean and The Dream. Bending the rules a little bit for this one as JAY-Z is both a primary on this track and on the Linkin Park track; however, both albums include a co-lead artist. This song it's Kanye. I thought that the question asked at the beginning of this song on which we often base human society on is thrown out the door when people don't have security. Instead it's "no church in the wild." 21. "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz. Inspired by Jimi Hendrix and Prince and former classmate and friend of Slash, Kravitz is one of the few black '90s guitarists. Some listeners don't care for his music, but it's certainly catchy. 22. "Stomp" by God's Property ft. Kirk Franklin
23. "Shackles" (Praise You) by Mary Mary was one of the hottest gospel tracks in 2000. The energy will make anyone's day better. 24. "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman
25. "Hey Ya!" by Outkast
26. "Three Hour Drive"(A Colors Show) by Alicia Key ft. SiR is a simple song about a very human moment, reflecting on the intersection of generations, of birth and death. 27. "Love on Top" by Beyonce I think is one of the best vocal performances by this powerhouse.
Please stay tuned. I will update this playlist and this post. It's been a very long day, so I'll try to update tomorrow.
