"Mumia was framed for murdering a cop, same as hurricane carter was, but hurricane carter became widely accepted because bob dylan wrote the song, not some poor thugs from the ghetto. Mumia fought a cause, and now is emprisoned, just as hurricane was, but it happened in south africa, a place where racism if finally being dismantled, but still does stand as a prevalent force. This c.d. voices the power of a revolution taking place led by mumia, the same emotional power that is felt in bob dylan's music, the national anthem, and m.l.k.'s "i have a dream.""
Good music

"Excellent music, but to clarify on one of the reviews (about people not understanding the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal) it did not happen in South Africa, and where in the world someone would get that idea I cant understand, especially since it happened in Pennsylvania [I see after this review the one i refer to has been edited to not mention South Africa...hehe...]. Not to belittle the poster, just some clarification. While Mumia has more artists covering and supporting him, none are as influential or widely loved as Dylan was, the artists including among others Rage Against the Machine, the Beastie Boys, etc. I would suggest purchasing this cd if you are even a little bit interested in the case."
PLease

"Why are people so stupid that they say Mumia killed that cop. 123 people that witnessed the event said he didnt do it. 2 people said he did and they later came forward and said that the cops made them do it. SO JUST SHUT UR IGNORANT MOUTH!! Mumia is innocent. And if Mumia isn't dangerous to the country, why are there so many people trying to kill him. Great lyrics. Zack is a gift. FREE MUMIA"
Urgent sounds for the cause of the millenium

"Zack de la Rocha, Chuck D, Dead Prez and others collaborate to produce a protest anthem worthy of the man and his cause."
