It would be the ironic thing for me to pick a political song where countries such as the US are bashed in honor of President's Day. I don't mean to be a hipster here but that's exactly what I am going to do. This song is a meeting between punk and hip-hop (or even funk). It is a record from Time Zone, a group put together by Afrika Bambattaa. A guest vocalist on this record, known as "World Destruction", is John Lydon, best known as Johnny Rotten of The Sex Pistols and Public Image LTD. It's a totally bizarre idea for a duet, and yet, it ends up working as the music behind the lyrics is awesome and funky and both guys do a great job of singing their political manifesto about how things (according to many people) got fucked up in the Reagan-era 80's. This isn't really a place to talk about politics, but even if you don't agree with what they said, you should still enjoy what's a damn good song from the 80's.

I'm trying out a new service where you just click on the link and it sends you to a page where you can click on another link and it will download the MP3 right onto your computer without having to unzip it by WinZip or another similar service. I'm sure everyone thinks that's a better and easier way to d/l songs.
Starting tomorrow is my Old School Hip Hop week.
