some marginalized protest music from the biggest name in rap:

...watching mainstream artists mature musically and socially
is always rather exciting for me (e.g., radiohead). however, i
would never have predicted that eminem would attempt to shape
his egocentric angst into something resembling a protest song.
although the excessive machismo factor of popular rap music
seems somewhat antithetical to a genuine progressive
sentament, this will undoubtedly serve as a rather
motivational introduction to politics for many of our pre-teen
youth.
