Well certainly revolutionary as it calls for reform...had the check the dictionary for the meaning of iconoclastic.. "One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions" So yes.
But I would still say afrocentric point of view as PE's message is mostly the view of the world thru african american eyes...yep here. I don't know how 'afrocentric' (again in quotes) UR's music is but it I would say it is iconoclastic. I suppose they use 'sci-fi and space' as a metaphor for escaping from 'babylon' Apols for overuse of quotes, im try to to in concepts and not end up writing a long email.
