Benjamin Zephaniah - Revolutionary Minds
Review by Claudia Feitosa-Santana
Revolutionary Minds, the latest album by Benjamin Zephaniah, is a powerful and thought-provoking collection of songs that tackle issues of social justice, inequality, and oppression. Zephaniah, a renowned poet, writer, and activist, uses music as a platform to express his views and inspire change.
The album features a range of musical styles, from reggae and dub to hip-hop and spoken word. The lyrics are sharp and incisive, delivered with Zephaniah's signature style and cadence. He addresses issues such as police brutality, racism, and political corruption, calling for unity and resistance against the forces of oppression.
The standout tracks include "We Are the People," a rousing anthem for social change, and "On This Land," a poignant reflection on the legacy of colonialism and its impact on indigenous peoples. The album also features collaborations with other artists, such as Natty and The Sea, adding new dimensions to Zephaniah's sound.

Oh, this is a really disappointing "both sides are good" take.

Ben Zeph is fucking based

Shows that all those hours of Tony Benn explaining why the EU is bad for the working class people.. you didn’t learn a thing.

In out in out shake it all about, it's still the mayhem of global capitalism.

Only a cretin would celebrate No English in Lincolnshire. Sad Millionaire.

This millionaire will not lose his job, he can afford the luxury of being all things to all people ?

When someone calls you "Sunshine" and you soil yourself, That's a good barometer for your character!
Plastic Millionaire.

Nothing that can actually be substantiated.
Philosophical platitudes ring false, but it will make you a Millionaire!

The mayhem is just in it's infancy! We are only at the ' don't mention the word Brexit ' stage ,right now ! Just wait until the collapse is fully underway, as we drown in red tape , with delays ,shortages ,customs costs , difficulties exporting small deliveries, job losses and business collapse? All that will pale into insignificance when financial services get refused equivalence, polictol turmoil over NI - GB border as we continuously push and prod EU over our treaty we agreed to ? Then there is the very existence of the UK ? Does anyone honestly think Scotland is just going to sit back and watch as a bystander in this Brexit Empire madness and fall into line ? No we we escape from captivity as hostage in this Brexit Empire! Ending the Union , with Scotland's secession from uk , ending UK as a viable State !

That's why they use the term breaking bread..

The title of this clip is wrong ,didnt here anything wise or compelling at all ,especially now we know the mayhem was basically a cause of whining remainers that could not accept the outcome of the referendum and the soft pratts in the media and government not slamming them and telling them “ you lost ,tough shit” we are moving on get used to it!

One of the main beneficiaries of black privilege, he contributed nothing of any worth to this debate. The sycophantic clapping by the panel on the supposed comment of the second imagined person in the tale about being kill d by Germans is sickening.
2023-04-05
He was shit in the 80's ... nothing has changed I see .
2023-04-04
1:09 was he gonna say something?

more brain's in a box of biscuits.

Zephaniah an arsehole. Totally overrated, championed by idiot liberals
2023-04-01
Strange logic . He seems incredulous that person in Lincolnshire who voted not to remain in the EU because they couldn't forgive the Germans and yet he seems not to be able to forgive Whitey for the slave trade
2023-04-01
I love this man he is so wise and his insight into humanity is rare and precious.
2023-03-31
just imagine the mayhem if we hadn't voted to leave at this point & then 10 years down the line they were completely screwing us over and had us locked in even tighter than we already are ?
2023-03-31
Such a wise man. I'm amazed they let him on TV tbh. He expresses view that get people booed off stage but he expresses them in such a beautiful way that you can't help but sympathise, even if you're the kind of moron that can't see propaganda for what it is
