I Dead Prez dopo aver catturato i fans con la monumentale “Hip Hop” estratto dal loro “Let’s Get Free”, hanno sempre continuato a diffondere la loro knowledge, schierandosi sempre apertamente contro razzismo e politica, e oggi, Stic.Man e M-1 hanno rilasciato il video di “No Way As The Way”, brano contenuto nel loro ultimo lavoro dal titolo “Information Age”.
Nel video diretto da Danny Hastings possiamo trovare i due rappers newyorkesi alle prese con alcune pratiche religiose, e infatti ecco cosa ha detto Stic.Man a riguardo:
“The song ‘No Way As The Way,’ that title comes from my martial arts practices. Jeet Kune Do is one of the arts that I’ve had the chance to practice. Jeet Kune Do was created by Bruce Lee. It’s an approach to martial arts that says that having no way as the way, is the way. To make it simple: not being locked into any particular way as the only way to get something done, in terms of your fighting.
That spills over into the philosophy of life in terms of having no set way, no rigid position that you’re trying to hold, but being adaptable and fluid and flowing. Long story short, that martial arts practice has inspired my thinking a lot. When we decided to write a song on Information Age about spirituality and religion, it was so fitting.”
