Led by rappers Chuck D and Flava Flav, Public Enemy is a protest song fan's dream, as they are a staunch protest group, and one of hip-hop's all-time great acts.
Their classic album Fear of a Black Planet, which is chock-full of protest songs, contains one of my favorite tunes, "911 is a Joke."
Flava Flav handles the vocal duties on this one, a tune about slow 911 response times when the call originates from a black neighborhood. It's a fantastic protest song that still sounds great, and, as far as I know, is still relevant all these decades later.
From 'Fear of a Black Planet'. Support the artist, buy their work.

Except for the Beasties, rap was never my thing.

People usually refer to it as rap. Public Enemy is very good at it.
