Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill Members Reportedly Form Prophets of Rage
Turns out the countdown that Rage Against the Machine posted online yesterday probably isn't ticking down to a reunion, but something that's almost more intriguing.
Three-quarters of Rage Against the Machine (everyone except frontman Zach de la Rocha) are reportedly teaming up with Chuck D of Public Enemy and B-Real of Cypress Hill for a new supergroup called Prophets of Rage, according to Billboard. If that name sounds familiar, it's a reference to Public Enemy's song "Prophets of Rage," from their 1988 album, It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back.
A source told Billboard that Prophets of Rage will make their debut at the Hollywood Palladium on June 3, performing songs by Rage, Public Enemy and Cypress Hill. A possible summer tour is also being "considered."
Of course, this isn't the first time everyone in Rage except Zach de la Rocha formed a new supergoup. In 2001, they joined with Soundgarden's Chris Cornell to create the modern rocking Audioslave. Chuck D previously performed with Rage at the Pinkpop Festival in 1996 and again with Morello at the 2013 Grammys. Rage also covered Cypress Hill on 2000's Renegades.
