"A thousand years they had the tools, we should be takin them. Fuck the g ride, we want the machines that are making 'em"
seize the means of production!
BARZ!!!!
@@CaesarSneezy reclaim that surplus value!
The Marxist anthem we need
My Zack spit ever. Fucking fire.
'We hungry but them belly full' is a reference to Bob Marley's song Them Belly Full (But We Hungry). Like Bob said, a hungry mob is an angry mob.
That's my fav line! Ppl don't get that usually
That Fred Hampton bar hits hard! Feds did Black Messiah dirty 😞
This song is one sick bar after another. Spittin’ facts
“ Make a move and plead the fifth, cuz ya can’t plead the first” BARZ!!!!
Pretty sure "clockers" means the working class in this context.
Agreed. But I also think the double potential meaning is intentional, especially given the other references right next to it about the war on drugs.
@@brandonmadsen9591 agreed, I never thought of it as dealers until I heard that point and damn, it fits.
Yep, time-card stampers. Clock in, clock out. 9 to 5ers.
Ill agree with that.
It’s also another term for corner boys or small dealers. Older and regional, but still.
"momma's torn hands cover her sunken face, we hungry but them belly full!" Shit hits me every time...
This line hits me every tine too. 😔 Such a masterpiece 🎶
"Quiet peaceful dance" = average hourly employees working every single day week after week year after year....
"Just a quiet peaceful dance" is a reference to The Grapes of Wrath book about farmers wanting to get migrants in trouble with police
could also be a reference to the Wounded Knee massacre, which was brought about because settlers thought the natives Ghost Dance was a war rally. it was really just a celebration of life and death, like the Día de los Muertos celebrations.

Zack don't waste any bars
RATM are some of the hardest MFs to ever grace this beautiful planet.
I saw someone misinterpret the line "Fuck the G-Rides, I want the machines that are makin' 'em" so badly it hurt my head. "You know, stay on that grind until you make it to the top." 🤨 I have to imagine he's one of those people who also think Rage Against the Machine went woke.
I mean if rage did away with the artistry and simply wrote "seize the means of production" some people would find a way to misinterpret it.
HAHAHAHA!!!! That made my day. Ty.
Rich Man from Rodeo Drive Area: Son, you go to this school and meet these people and one day you will own a factory that makes cars.
Poor Man from the hood: Son, you avoid the police and don't get shot up at school, join the military, and one day you will own one of those fancy cars we make down at the factory.
Saw Rage and Wu together in Atlanta. Best show I've ever seen.
Daaaaamn! Now that had to be a SHOW!
I saw that tour in Raleigh, fukn epic show!
The structure is set you'll never change it with a ballot pull.
The Ghost Of Tom Joad next! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
so bloody underrated; probably one of my faves they played at MSG
One of the most underrated bar spitters
Maria is a great one and honestly this entire album is fire, I’m an athlete and have been raging to rage for many years to get my blood pumping when it’s time to go, I appreciate you for showing them much deserved love. Peace.
Love to see someone hear their music and understand it, always deserves a sub.
Top three rage track for me, with the other two being Calm Like a Bomb and Ashes in the Fall
Calm like a bomb is iconic in my book.
@@darraha”I walk god like dog…” Sheeeeesh!!
You cant go wrong with any RATM song bruh , the lyrics are always deep fire and the music always slams . Check out Bullet in the Head or Freedom next . I could list songs for an hour but those popped in my head . By the way this is my first time checking you out . Subscribed . I dig your vibe .
TOWNSHIP REBELLION!!! I like you!
Clockers means the people that are clocking in and out in this context. Toxic rock and powder war is a reference to crack and cocaine.
I think clocker in this case is a reference to dealing drugs out of desperation. 'The clocker's born starin at an empty plate.'
@@jamesoblivion considering it's Zack, it's probably both - he's drawing parallels.
I think when he says 'the remains left chained to the powder war´ is about war on drugs (and yeah, cocaine is included on this) which we know that was actually some deliberate neoliberal policy to continue the non-white control through the jail system.
It's about how white flight NAFTA and urban decay has left the cities without any jobs but plenty of crack then Fentanyl now. The structure is set.
It's about a whole bunch of BS that happens in the USA. That NEVER changes.
If you liked this you should react to "Wake Up" by them too!
This album has some of the most fire lyricism on the level with the greats of hip hop, it really is underrated for the bars at that level.
You gotta listen to "Freedom" on here, that song gets me emotional!! Great reaction!!
Great reaction to this amazing song
Great analysis.
BEST REACTION CHANNEL OF ALL TIME!!!
Would love to see you react to the song Wake Up. Keep it up man, great reaction.
When this album came out, it urged me to read books about and/or by Huey Newton, Fred Hampton, and George Jackson. Some of the best books I’ve ever read. Those led me to W.E.B. DuBois and Frantz Fanon. After readin those, those deeper layers of Rage lyrics made so much sense.
Love your intro. That fits well.
Rage at the absolute top of their game.
PREACH!
Best reaction!
I love Rage , I still have a Free Mumia Abu Jamal poster that I got from a Rage concert in the late 90’s and being part Native I loved their support for Leonard Peltier and A.I.M.( American Indian Movement) which was the Native equivalent to the Black Panthers and they worked with and was supported by the Black Panthers
As I understand it, "Just a quiet peace dance" refers to the Ghost Dance Massacre, also known as Wounded Knee Massacre. In which Native Americans, Lakota Sioux, were practicing their Ghost Dance around year 1890. The dance was to honor their dead. It was "just a quiet peaceful dance". The invading European settlers and military forces claimed it was a "War dance" and slaughtered them all.
Glad to see some reactors doing a bit of research before the song. Understanding the context of what Rodeo Drive is first is critical to understanding the song. Too many reactors go in completely blind and end up missing the entire premise.
And yeah, Rodeo Drive was still a big thing in the 80s, 90s and today. In 80s movies like Beverly Hills Cop and Pretty Womam, they always have a Rodeo Drive scene just to signify “we’re in the rich area now”
“Clockers” = wage workers. If you’re born working class, you’re born with an empty plate. You’re expected to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, and work like everyone else…
Except that there are a few people who are born with plates overflowing. They don’t have to labor, and their plate will always be overflowing. They will never experience hunger or desperation.
Those are the people who tell the workers to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
They’re the ones who spend their time in Rodeo.
what I think he means is they try to over work us to the point all we do is work . Just get by and that is the new norm which we know as a great life, But compaired to what our parents had and our grand was so much more and better, but we will never know what we lost cause we never had it. The Generations after this will have even less and think its great
“…for the things we’ll never have”: likely a phrase riddled with satire…Play the game, be a productive member of society and vote. However, like he writes earlier in the song “the structure is set, you’ll never change it with a ballot pull”. Also, nice take on who “the clockers” are!..wondering if it also has to do with labor workers (clock in clock out) since the lines that follow say “mommas torn hands cover her sunken face”
Checkout some more Rage Against The Machine, “Voice Of The Voiceless,” “Ghost If Tom Joad,” “Year Of The Boomerang,” & “No Shelter.” Also, Saul Williams’ “Act III Scene 2 (Shakespeare) (ft. Zack De La Rocha)” & Williams’ cover of “Sunday Bloody Sunday (ft. Trent Reznor).”
There is no rapper out there nowadays that could split the bars that Zack spits.
Amazing comments about the song. Gotta respect the Black Panthers 🔥
Check out the song Freedom.
Quite peaceful dance was the excuse for black panther meeting when they got busted.
It’s just a quite peaceful dance.
Yo the whole track is strap!!!!
Your intro track!! Where can that be found??!!
Quiet peaceful dance -Grapes of Wrath
Man, you're the first reactor I've seen recognize the Fred Hampton reference.
Given their regular support of native rights and causes, "Just a quiet peaceful dance" may be a reference to the Ghost Dance.
Them: You need a turntable to scratch.
Tom Morello (probably): Hold my beer.
F*ck the g ride, i want the machines that are making em. Statement of control over the means of production!
Of course it came out in 1996
More than I liked.
Of course we see them, but they are here in force now, so we can’t allow them to overtake our voice. “Stand up, speak the truth, even if it leads to your death.” I won’t say where that comes from. You know, or you do not. One of my favorites that speaks to me.
Quiet peaceful dance is a riot with looting. That's the voice of the unheard. That's why they went to Rodeo drive.
Also, the common confusion over Rodeo and rodeo is just an accent difference. In Spanish it means a "round up" which is where the original name for a Rodeo Dr comes from.
Rodeo hasn't changed, but the people shopping there are more diverse. Paparazzi hang out.
Just a quiet peaceful dance is reference to the book The Grapes of Wrath
We don’t have freedom, but we are closer than we ever have been.
We're less free now than we were ten years ago. Ten years ago, we were less free than before 9/11. We've lost so many rights in the last 25 years, it's insane to claim we're freer than ever before.
90s 100%
Guerilla Radio!!
Check out Rage against the machine. Mike, check unless you've already heard.
I think ‘Clockers’ mean people who have to Clock in and out of work.
Please check out the music video for the song Freedom by Rage, it tells the story of A.I.M.( American Indian Movement) and the case of Leonard Peltier who is a political prisoner still being detained by the government even though he was railroaded and witnesses have recanted and admitted they were intimidated by government agents to give false testimony
String at an empty plate. Means minds go hungry to feed their kids. Not enough food for them.
Too many good songs to recommend, but seeing your insight into the BBP and the stronghold J Edgar Hoover had in the 60s, HIGHLY recommend “Wake Up”…
If you want to listen to a song about mass media distractions as a means of maintaining control and oppression, No Shelter and Bullet in the Head…both bangers
Would definitely listen to them with lyrics like you’ve done with most. Diggin your content!
It was the 90’s
hello there, can you check out Playboy the Beast song "1776" please ?
try down rodeo
Punchclockers, regular wage workers
peacful dance? pretty sure its death
1992..crap year for America. RODNEY KING!!
Etc......ny cops, la cops, then NWA was. For a REASON.
And it's not proper. Not legal. 🤔
