You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.89.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 18:20, 24 March 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Renegades of Funk'''" is a song written by [[Afrika Bambaataa]], [[Arthur Baker (musician)|Arthur Baker]], John Miller & John Robie and recorded by [[Afrika Bambaataa]] & [[Soulsonic Force]]. Released in 1983 as a single on the [[Tommy Boy Records|Tommy Boy]] label, it was also included on the 1986 album ''[[Planet Rock: The Album]]''. The song is an eclectic fusion of [[electronic music]] and heavy percussion, with politically fused [[hip hop music|hip hop]] lyrics that draw a connection between past revolutionaries and bohemians to present-day street artists. It was produced and mixed by [[Arthur Baker (musician)|Arthur Baker]] and John Robie. Mastering was by Herb Powers Jr..

The song was used by the [[Toronto Raptors]] as its entrance song during home games in 2006. It is also featured as a track on the radio in the video game ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]''. In 1985, the song was used in "The Maze", an episode in the first season of the television police drama ''[[Miami Vice]]''. It was remade by [[Rage Against the Machine]] and released as a single in 2001. [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] included Rage Against the Machine's version in his polka medley "[[Angry White Boy Polka]]" from his 2003 album ''[[Poodle Hat]]''.

In 2000, American [[Rock music|rock]] band [[Rage Against the Machine]] recorded the song for their [[cover album]] ''[[Renegades (Rage Against the Machine album)|Renegades]]''.  In addition to lyrics by Afrika Bambaataa, it features a percussion interpolation of the [[Incredible Bongo Band]]'s piece "[[Apache (song)|Apache]]" and riffs from the [[Cheap Trick]] song "[[Gonna Raise Hell]]".

The group played the song live for the first time at its reunion show at [[Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival|Coachella 2007]].  This version of the song was the intro music to "The Big Mad Morning Show" on [[KTBT|92.1 The Beat]] in [[Tulsa, Oklahoma]].

The music video directed by Steven Murashige was a montage of film stock-footage clips, as the band had broken up when the video was released.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1375013/20001207/rage_against_the_machine.jhtml|title="Renegades" Single Posed Tough Challenge for Rage|last=Basham|first=David|date=2000-12-07|publisher=[[MTV Networks]]|access-date=2008-10-30))</ref> The montage consists mostly of funk and hip-hop music and events of the [[Civil Rights]] movements, interspersed with live footage of the Los Angeles Phantom Street Artist Joey Krebs spray-painting his infamous Outline Silhouettes of Figures mixed with media stills of individuals the song implies are renegades:
