The Only Rap Song to Quote a 16th-Century Dominican Friar

In honor of Indigenous People’s Day, I’ve decided to write about one of the most powerful songs I know: “Christians Murdered Indians,” a stunning rap-rock gem from California’s woefully underrated Corporate Avenger, which addresses the savage brutality unleashed by Spanish conquistadors on Native Americans in the 1500s. (TW: torture, genocide, enslavement, colonization.) On a musical intensity scale of 1 (Colbie Caillat putting on her yoga pants) and 10 (Metallica blasting up England’s Wembley Stadium), these guys are at a 50. This song is five minutes and 17 seconds of pure, justified sorrow and fury- made especially powerful by quoting someone who was actually there.
