Dilated Peoples - Proper Propaganda Lyrics
We're coming to you live from the Scottish Right Temple
Near the intersection of Crenshaw and Wiltshire
Where, as you can see in the background
Military personnel are mobilized and waiting orders
Despite the quiet and the deceptive calm
The incident was allegedly sparked by police officers
Trying to shut down a reportedly peaceful concert
By hip hop artists Dilated People's
We'll keep you updated with any new developments
For Triclops Media Watch, this is Harry Allen
Hip hop activist and media assassin and now, proper propaganda
Hey yo we handle it, these brothers are fabulous
Dilated showing you what rhyme travel is
Words spittoon from sunlight to moon
Click clack, my mic back, you like that?
Journalists? We're journalists too, we could strike back
Hardcore reporters with orders from headquarters
Behind enemy lines, sidestepping the borders
With press passes, we bring it to you as it happens
The streets love my crew for music and rappin'
Street commander slash beat expander
Here to fight the slander with the proper propaganda
What's happenin'? You got a question then ask it
The news is just a TV show, get past it
And this, from a quiet wartime journalist
Headlines, wake up, refuse and resist
Like this, like this, like thi-thi-this, y'all
We kick finance, action and scores of sports
Politics, new fashion and war reports
Entertainment, when we come to perform, watch
And the illest weatherman in the biz, I'm storm watch
Triclops Media, record, tape and TV
Net radio, CD or DVD, iriscience
Write rhymes on paper time
This is why Baboo is scratching and keeping time
I make the people listen boogy down and move
I make the people listen boogy down and move, yeah
I make the people listen boogy down and move
Glory, the pen is mighter than the sword
'Cause the pen gives the word sending swords to war
They twisted it when they quoted Mao Tse-tung
They said political power comes from the barrel of a gun
The officer meets his fate, by .44, .38
It was a dirty deed but that don't mean a dirty case
Witnesses against the state are shushed
Facts overlooked so the judge can throw the book
Perhaps for politicians with something to prove
In the city where they blew the roof off and move
Yo, questions when answered leads to more questions
Why'd it take months to remember a confession?
The principles are the same even without the name
But I still say, "M U M I A"
I have to fight, it could easily be me
But just being the thinker than speakin' it freely
Although I use my brain before using a fist
Don't push it, wake up, refuse and resist
I make the people listen boogy down and move
I make the people listen boogy down and move
I make the people listen boogy down and move
I make the people listen boogy down and move
We kick finance, action and scores of sports
Politics, new fashion and war reports
Entertainment, when we come to perform, watch
And the illest weatherman in the biz, I'm storm watch
Triclops Media, record, tape and TV
Net radio, CD or DVD, iriscience
Write rhymes on paper time
This is why Baboo is scratching and keeping time

One of my favorites

I see ppl bringing up Wayne to me he had only one good album 500 degrees aside from that his music has been too pop with a few songs that are decent. He’s nothing special it’s sad he gets more views and listens then ras kass dilated peoples jmt Killah priest nas makes no sense
Hindsight Prophet's "Thomas Hitman Hearns" highlight video brought me here.
M-U-M-I-A
Pure fire! This music makes you realise how lucky you are to be alive right now! <3
still gives me goose bumps
i came by jordan aleppo!
esta guay
rocka was born to flow, goddamn
good as music
heaven in my mind with this beat.
''I gotta fight, it could easily be me ''.....dope !!!!!!RAKAA
crazy ass beat one love
That nasty ass beat though :O
Glory, the pen is mighter than the sword
'Cause the pen gives the word sending swords to war
Might just be the greatest line in hip hop history.
"whoever said 'the pen is mightier than the sword' clearly hasnt met automatic weapons."
-unknown
@adam george Didnt MacArthur say that? The guy who wanted 2 nuke Korea. hehe
Am I the only one, who got dilated peoples high in my list for best hiphop?
+TeamTexel Hell nah
Nope, up super high on my list. first heard them in 98-99 and been a huge fan ever since
Definitely Dilated People's comes first
nope.same here.they work the angles sharp and precise
The sample in the beginning is New York City- "Sanity"
Also a song that sampled that is Mr Jinx by Quarashi
It sounds like a sample from Madden 2003 soundtrack. Can't think of the name of the song.
+hitek9wittafulclip that's the quarashi song I mentioned
@Please Kill Me
Yea you're right! Just looked it up.
Also in the classic fmx movie "Global Addiction" with Travis Pastrana and Kenny Bartram. Gregg Godfrey directed it
Mr. Jinx i mean
sampel?
+usasaber New York City - "Sanity"
Like thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-this, y'all!!
Dylan for the win
MEAN SONG THE SCRATH PART IS THE BEST
does anyone have the instrumental to this?
https://soundcloud.com/schildproductions/dilated-peoples-proper
@X cosΘ No offense, but that instru is absolute shit. The dude didn't even match the percussion to the beat, he's got bongos and shit hitting on the 1 and 3, the mixing is terrible. Also, his other beats are wack as fuck.
23 people prefered Rick Ross and other cheap wannabe rappers.
Rick Ross is a real emcee that rhymes over hard beats. You just exposed yourself as a cornball. CONGRATS!
DYLAN MORRISON WEB EDIT SWAGGGGG
23 Bitches didnt fuck those guys :D
Like if you came by dylan morrison
Like si viniste por dylan morrison!
Dylan morrison
Thx for UPLOAD !!
Dylan Morrison!
Yessssssss!!!
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! DMORRISON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
yeeeeeees
Dylan morrison
Like dis. BLAM!~
21 fools around that have no clue what good nice smooth hip hop is, im sorry for your asses ;)
We can't understand hatters of the "new wave" ! ^^
@iDro' xYde new wave,old stuff,doesnt matter,its just sad that the real stuff gets ignored....but maybe this is better,cause the good stuff in life isnt always for everybodys ears....fuck the non understanders :) i rock that old shit - big up dilated peoples and its still two turntables and a mic!! fuck the haters!
I freaking love you man !
they asked Dilated brilliant questions about rhyming, within:
dopewisdom.com
that is a bestseller, its got so many memorable gems from all the first-rate lyricists, worth picking up for sure
never knew they made a part 2 for that, thanks for the heads up about it
been reading that for the past month, great stuff!
not all , i dont
god fucking damn. :c
so many quotable lines froms this. would be a dope sample to scratch in
Though these guys are fairly popular... I still think they are way too under rated to to what they should be.
wow i know just found? staple of undergroun
d hip hop for 15 years or so.
I'm from the new generations, plus I'm french and I live in France but still I'm here listenning to this dope track
Your wrong there, some of us still like to rewind and join the old school times. Big up true music.
found these guys from a 4 second loop by using Shazam a few minutes ago...I hate the fact I just found these guys
POP means popular music, thats what Lil Wayne is.
Real hip hop no doubt... Gives the proper view and perspective of what this used to be... One of many classics and influences for my music.... Check me out like and subscribe!!!
-Cartoon Murda Ink Squad
Just not. There is good Pop.
I just call it pop.
i like those titties...
like if you watch this on 2013
Talent RAW
fuck LIL WAYNE. sucka cock
if you like garbage hip hop then yea
Lil Wayne should run* There, fixed your sentence for you.
thats a terrible idea
Hey I grew up in the this horrible garbage era on the radio, but there is still plenty of us recognizing real hip-hop. Not bumpin mainstream and knockin underground.
New generations don't know real music, they only listen famous radio crap, that kill me
God bless dilated peoples
new york city sanity, i used this sample too and when i listen up to this track i thought "oh shit" lol ahahaha
"THE IS PEN MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD CAUSE THE PEN GIVES THE WORD SENDING SWORDS TO WAR" 13 thumbs up MINE LOL
ok, i dont give a fuck about that shit. i just dont want to see that wayne shitstreak in the comments of this or any other video! and 40 likes is less than half as good as ive done, WHILE DRUNK AND STONED!!!
We have this, who care about lil wayne, right?
forgot! shame on you..
16 people dont know what real hip hop is
fuck yea I forgot how much I love Dilated
Dont listen this biatch 0:38
Dozobaczyska na Kempowym Polu !
3:13 tell me who among today's weak-ass hip hop producers can do THAT? Gorgeous sample, impeccable scratching, just the right amount of snap on those kicks and snares. And that's without even mentioning the rest of the skill on display here, from flow to lyricism to powerful mic presence. Dilated is seriously underrated.
just promise me we freestyle some time soon lol
not fuck him but
lol he aint no angel
Mr. Jinx came out on their album in APril 2002 and PRoper Propaganda came out on DP's album in Octiober of 2001 so this song was out six months before Mr. Jinx ... you do the math on who is the original again
youtube. com/watch?v=kFikGb6HIso
The original soundtrack is made by an Icelandic band called Quarashi, the song Mr. Jinx ! Still like the dialated peoples version better !
this is their BEST song
HP PAVILION NIGGA
