"Wake Up, Niggers" by The Last Poets
The Last Poets were the coolest cats in town back in the day, progenitors of hip-hop hellbent on both subversion and equality. Their "Wake Up, Niggers", a well-written call to blacks everywhere to stand up and fight for themselves and to whites everywhere to back the fuck off, is especially cool and radical--radical as in maverick/revolutionary, not as in "that's rad, bro!" Although it is pretty rad, bro.
