 Some new types of protest songs are emerging now in the 1990’s – 2014 similar in principle to the 1960’s folk music (Dylan etc) and civil rights music – “we shall overcome”, “a change is gonna come” etcThese days new types of rappers are appearing,  not rapping about murder sex or violence but other more real issues. Of course it was done many years before:

Sam Cooke:  A CHANGE IS GONNA COME  – 1963

And another artist who was certainly in the know of how things operate was Oscar Brown Jr :  FORTY ACRES AND A MULE  –  from Mr. Brown Goes to Washington Album in 1965.

Oscar Brown: Forty Acres And A Mule (1973)
