Erykah Badu went real political on her last album, "New Amerykah Part One (4th World War)". At the end of a track titled "Twinkle", she references the epic "mad as hell" speech from the 1976 classic Network where Peter Finch's character, Howard Beale, launches an on-screen tirade against the omnipotent Corporate powers-that-be.
Listen to it. For being written before 1976, it sounds eerily relevant. oth Badu and Network are both heraled for being out-there and ahead of their times.
