First appearing in 1993 in Rio de Janeiro, with politically charged lyrics about marijuana legalization, they started playing concerts in Rio de Janeiro and other capitals, such as Belo Horizonte, São Paulo and Curitiba.
Planet Hemp began attracting mainstream attention due to the violent outbreaks which were common during their concerts. In 1994 Skunk, one of the original band members passed away, interrupting Planet Hemp's career for some time, but after B Negão joined the group they signed a contract with Sony Music, releasing "Usuário" in 1995.
The album turned the band into an icon of the 90s Brazilian rock, with successful hits such as "Mantenha o Respeito", "Legalize Já", "Fazendo a Cabeça" and the controversial "Porcos Fardados" (Pigs in Uniform), a critique of the police brutality.
Because of their commitment and lyrics towards the legalization of marijuana, Planet Hemp has had issues with the Brazilian authorities. This tension has lead to apprehended records, cancelled concerts and prison warrants (in Brazil it is illegal to promote/defend the use of prohibited substances, including but not limited to weed).
The band ended in 2001, due to internal conflicts regarding Marcelo D2 solo career.

Muthafuckin' Racists
Planet Hemp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Planet Hemp's "Muthafuckin' Racists" are a powerful statement against racism and discrimination. The song begins with an unapologetic declaration of the artist's black identity and defiance towards anyone who would try to define or limit it. The confident, "freaky flow" of the lyrics asserts that the artist is not interested in making peace with anyone who espouses hateful views based on race or sexuality. The repeated refrain of "muthafuckin' racists" reinforces the message that these attitudes are unacceptable and that those who hold them deserve to be called out and held accountable.
The second half of the song shifts towards a more confrontational tone, with a specific threat against anyone who would physically violate the artist's space or person. The line "remove your hand from my black face" is a clear rebuke against any form of physical aggression or boundary violation based on race. The references to a gun and to "count to six n' feel my 38" suggest that the artist is prepared to use force to defend themselves against racist attackers. The lyrics do not advocate for violence, but rather suggest that sometimes self-defense may be necessary in the face of bigotry.
Overall, "Muthafuckin' Racists" is a powerful and unapologetic statement against discrimination and oppression, calling out those who would deny others their basic human rights and forcing them to face the consequences of their actions.
