dead prezis the pair of largely underground alternativerappers, Stic.Manand M-1. They have become known largely for their hard-hitting style and politically-aware lyrics, focusing on racism, critical pedagogy, and activism against governmental hypocrisy, and corporate control over the media, especially hip-hoprecord labels. In 1990, M-1 headed to Tallahassee to attend FAMU (Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University) where he and Sticman met and connected due to their mutual love of music and knowledge. "I was soaking up the Black Panther Partyas a whole," M-1 remembers. "I learned about their lives and it helped mold me." "I realized there's a struggle already going on and I have to try to help ride it out," interjects Stic.man.

Don't Forget Where U Goin' Lyrics
Dead Prez
[Intro]
For my dogs in the pen, my niggaz hold ya head
For my dirties on the block, come up any way you can
For my homies in the street game, trying to get ahead
For homeless people sleeping on the sidewalks for beds
To the babies, born already on dope
Straight to his veins from the coast guard boat
[Verse - M1]
Baby daddies and if you late you cant participate
Baby mommas, I know what you going through. So sorry to disappoint you
Ghetto children your'e the spark, your'e the energy, your'e the heart
To the gran-ma's, your'e the glue cuz you know things fall apart
To the PP's, the P-O-W's, M-I-A's
To to A-R's, to the H-K's, to the M-1's, to the A-K's
To the comrades on the grind
Let me see who comes to mind
To my clic, to stic, Oh yeah I cant forget
What up Tahim, What up Abu
What up Common what up Badu
Jermaine, Dem, and Dee-Don
We bout to get our freak on
That's just our double ???? on
In case you did't hear me, hear me, hear me
