    Kee-Lo
    Fight the power has to be one of the best hip hop records which really spoke out about issues with the government. I think a lot of people think of this song as a protest, and is often used in marches against new proposals by the government. Chuck D is in good form as usual, and Terminator X lets it rip and gives us the 412 on whats going down.
