Did you know that Rage Against the Machine is currently on tour with Chuck D and B-Real as their new frontmen? They call themselves Prophets of Rage and have a new song out but if you look them up on youtube you'll find a ton of video of them performing old Rage Against The Machine songs. Sure they've gone on record saying this is a completely different thing, but this is definitely getting into Vanilla Ice "bum bum bum b d bum" territory here.
This is probably old news to some of you given that they've been on Kimmel and are getting radio play for their first single but I've been living under an Overwatch sized rock and haven't taken notice to anything in pop music for a while.
I never was a HUGE Rage Against the Machine fan. The song writing on their earlier albums was pretty terrible (Killing In The Name Of has barely one verse) but the later Albums including the cover album were really really good. I am however a HUGE Public Enemy fan so pretty much anywhere Chuck D shows up I'm willing to take a listen. He sounds as good as ever here, sure he's basically rework old Public Enemy songs into new verses but who cares. You can do a lot worse than old Public Enemy.
