A. This is so embarrassing to admit, but I've never heard the original, only the Perry Farrell/Ice-T duet on
The Gift
H-GM, I'm pretty drunk, just skipped through the rest of this thread looking for you to correct youself because you're up there in the top 'DRC is drunk' best posters around here: GET A VERSION of Sly And The Family Stone sorting this out; it will sort more out than you can imagine.
The classic footage, fully on Youtube but I guess down to Ed Sullivan or something, is the stunned whitey audience faced with Sly and Co. So far from cynicism, so near to real life; so wonderful.

+1.
Randall, for the love of whatever deity you may or may not worship, please listen to it. It's great. (It's not the best song Sly ever did by a long shot, but it's still great.)

I guess mostly when I hear it in pop/rock/punk/whatever songs, it doesn't really shock me too much or make me think.
But I remember a christmas early in college when I'd gotten a present of Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. I was driving back to school, listening to it, and of course I'm singing along...
Now they got me in a cell cause my records, they sell
cause a brother like me said, well,
Farrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to
What he can say to you, what you ought to do is
Follow for now, power of the people, say,
Make a miracle, D, pump the lyrical
Black is back, all in, we're gonna win
...here I was, pretty damn white, cruising across the frozen hinterlands of Wisconsin. I'm relating to this? I'm relating to this...it gave me pause, anyway.

Oblivians - "Nigger Rich"
I love the Oblivians but that song kinda makes me cringe.

The Gibson Brothers covered this song to great effect.
That Al Johnson pic on the first page looks familiar...

Randy Newman's "Rednecks" is a fantastic one
Johnny C wrote:Two Gallants caught flack from Pfork for this song:
Yeah, that was pretty fucking stupid, one of the worse Pitchfork attempts at a review.

Authorities - I Hate Cops
Verse one: "I hate cops, they're all fucking niggers."
lyric sheet says "piggers," but I've listened to the song a thousand times and there's no way.
MDC - Dead Cops
Negative Trend - Mercenary
X - Los Angeles
All I can think of right now. Oh yeah I think there's a few Skrewdriver songs too.
