What if one song could tell you the story of an entire country’s protest history? What if, in just a few minutes of music, you could trace rebellion, resistance, and the voices that shaped modern America? In this session, hosted by BO, one of Shanghai’s most respected DJs and a true music historian, we’ll dive into Renegades of Funk and unpack how a single track can carry decades of political and cultural meaning, even if you’ve never heard it before.

Together, we’ll listen, break it down, and explore how the song speaks directly to power—challenging a sitting president, responding to the Iraq War, and connecting back to the origins of hip hop and the figures who defined protest culture. You don’t need to know the music, the history, or the references, BO will guide you through it all, step by step, making it accessible, engaging, and surprisingly relevant. By the end, you won’t just understand the song, you’ll understand the movement it represents, and the role music plays in shaping how a nation questions itself.

如果一首歌，就能讲出一个国家的抗议历史，会是什么感觉？如果只用几分钟的音乐，你就能听见反抗、抗议，以及那些塑造现代美国的声音，会发生什么？在这场活动中，由上海非常资深的 DJ，同时也是音乐历史研究者的 BO 带领，我们会深入一首歌——《Renegades of Funk》，看看一首作品是如何承载几十年的政治与文化意义的，即使你从未听过它。

大家会一起听、一起拆解，看看这首歌是如何直接回应权力：从对当权者的挑战，到对伊拉克战争的回应，再到它如何连接回嘻哈文化的起源，以及那些定义抗议文化的重要人物。

你不需要提前了解音乐、历史或背景，BO 会一步步带你理解，让复杂的内容变得清晰、有趣，而且与你当下的世界产生连接。到最后，你不仅会“听懂”这首歌，还会理解它所代表的更大背景，以及音乐是如何成为一个社会自我表达、自我质疑的重要工具。
