I usually hate politics in music. Technique is the guy i give most of a pass on because he at least is articulate and makes sense alot of the time and even he gets old to me. I just get tired of the preaching i guess. I find Rage Against the Machine and System of A Down to be hypocrites because they say they hate capitalism but live comfortably on the money capitalism made them.

Immortal Technique says some smart shit, like to the point why is he rapping he should do something else what a waste of his time

Well, all of the artists you're talking about are boring and kinda bad in general. I'd start with expanding the pool of artists you're looking at. Most artists that have political currents running through their work aren't going to push it as hard as a SOAD or RATM. That said, here's two rather overtly political tracks off the top of my head:

I'm apolitical, I don't care about the music's politics as long as it's good.

Some of my favs include NSBM and radical feminist riot grrrl.

New Radicals is good although Gregg Alexander only uses political undertones which sometimes go unnoticed. He's more of a romantic in his music for the most part.

He's pretentious as fuck. He speaks in a matter-of-fact manner about things which he is clearly quite ignorant or misinformed of and masks it with his false sense of righteousness for his frankly ridiculous and laughably crazy perceptions of systematic oppression.

protip: he's not very intelligent
