💯

No doubt also KRS-ONE

The Tony hawk series put a whole generation of kids on to good music

Xc vcd c

@@Bigzthelove exatly i discovered many bands and good songs on tony hawk pro skater 1 and 2 i like most of the songs in those games

THPS4 is one of the best soundtrack ever.

Then you don't know skaters, what did you expect to be on there just over excessive amounts green day and shitty punk rock.

I couldn't agree more but who would play Chuck and.....FLAV??

Aired exactly one time on MTV before being pulled. Once was all it took.

@@brandonlbartlett - That's why BET was so necessary for the hip hop culture back in the 1990s.

Can’t Truss It did the same thing. Brothas Gonna Work It Out was powerful as well. The video production team really brought the lyrics to life

💯🔥🎤🎼👊🏾❗️

Great video but was banned for MTV . remember seeing PE on Arsenal Hall with tv playing with playing live

That's so awesome!!

Thought it was 89, but yo - History is history ⏳️

finisher3x Because the truth needed to be heard loud and clear

Then CBS got BET.....

+Shy Gigyas What?! Was that an actual statement made by a BET employee/representative?

+finisher3x and in the Netherlands / Holland too, no problem.

+Shy Gigyas that's because, I'm sure you already know BET isn't black any more, never thought I'll be even seeing these days, but I haven't watch bet in a long time, crazy how that shit changed from back.

Apparently they need us again , keep raising your black fist

Sol Raat KaBa right

@Chad Alpha what if you don't have one

@Bill Anderson Hip Hop was born and the best by Gen X. Boomers hated it when it came out.

I agree

Best in hip hop imo Every time it knocks me out

Agree bro, this song always gets me amp, with that loop!

That was actually a sample of a 1971 Jackson 5 concert in Indiana, where they did a version of Isaac Hayes' "Walk On By"

@@GSRAW88 the break sampled is "Two Sisters of Misery" by Mandrill

@@massimoravedoni7881 False brother. Type in "Jackson 5 live Indiana 1971 walk on by" you'll hear it. The base beat, I know is a Mandrill sample.

Genius!!!

Facts bro💯

I LOVE AND RESPECT THE FUCK OUTTA WHAT YOU SAID, WORD UP

Me too. PE taught me so much and opened my eyes

I ain't heard this song in years, that switch up gave me chills. INSTINCTIVE head bop...

yup. agree.

and the fact its a jackson5 loop makes it that much doper lol

Shit is so fucking tight. The Bomb Squad are geniuses.

Agree with all of your comments. The Bomb Squad was the ish

It's just a pun on a Glen Campbell song bro.

@@owenhunt You don't know what a pun is lol. But yes, the title is inspired by "by the Time I get to Phoenix" because this song is a response to the AZ governor canceling MLK day and the citizens voting to keep it that way (showing that they'd rather lose $100M in in Superbowl revenue instead of having MLK day)

@@Washanuga I'd forgotten that the MLK day cancellation impacted on the Superbowl so thank you for edifying my understanding of the song. I do know what a pun is though. A pun on your name would be 'GhostofApollo', for example.

@@owenhunt My man, that's not a pun either... phantom and ghost are synonyms, but a pun isn't just switching a word for another word that has the same meaning. A pun exploits the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words which sound alike but have different meanings. "I didn't like my beard at first. Then it grew on me." and the film series "The Santa Clause" ( as a play on Santa Claus and the word clause) being examples.

Didn't this song push the issue for MLK as a national holiday in Arizona? I can watch this video a 100 times!

👍🏾

I m moving to Peoria aRizona hahah and public enemy had a song called aRizona. I had to listen!

Good

Love it.

Bless you

Did the same in my 80 Monte

Agreed!!!

Why fight you?.... You're right !!!!!

Also had a big part in making the music in the background

lol why? you're right.

@@zachshipstead5247 u mean beat?

Fucking fact. Been saying this since 89. Keep the message alive.

Truth

@@duder596 , Amen

They are still Louder then a Bomb.

whats changed?

Sellouts

James brown

PE IN FULL EFFECT, BROTHAAAAA

I know man lol

Si👊

Yes, the Jackson 5 live on the goin back to Indiana special..

It really is!

the entire album is great. I still have it in its original tape form. Somewhere. Not that i can play it. Been one of my favourites for way to many decades now. Christ im old.

if you think hip hop doesn't "have a message/purpose" today, then you aren't looking in the right places. not nearly every act in the 1980s was political.

ZucottiManicotti I completely agree. It is the best.

Nuff said

Can't argue with you there...

+ZucottiManicotti black steel in the hour of chaos is better

ZucottiManicotti I have to say by PE, Brothers Gonna Work It Out is better. But that's like saying who's your fave kid!

Yeah boyyyyyyy! ( flavor flave)

🔥 🔥 🔥 WILL ALWAYS KICK

Well it's rap, but i hear ya..

No man, Eminem is G.O.A.T. *Just Kidding : )

Truth

Big FACTS!!!!!!!

@@edusoares20 shit ain't funny

I had to respond, completely agree

KRS is in that conversation

right, an injustice to one is an injustice to all, forget the superficial differences & we can get on to the bigger business of making it right for everybody & since no one has anywhere else to go, we'd better just accept the fact that we're stuck with each other (assholes included)

Joe, we as Arizonans didn't object to MLK Jr. or anything he stood for...we OBJECTED to government employees getting yet another paid holiday on the taxpayers' dime...The MLK Jr. holiday was used by overpaid politicians and bureaucrats to squeeze more cash out of the taxpayers in AZ by giving themselves (and no one else) another paid day off...We voted it down...all of us: the whites, blacks, browns, greens, rainbows, ultra-violets, purples, oranges, apples, melons, grapes, and peaches [all of us] because we felt that government employees were already overpaid. --- By the way Joe, The whole 'As a White Man, I stand behind the Black Man...etc" sounds a little like a topic for another discussion...Did you serve in the infantry or something?

stop having the lowest state income tax then and shut the fuck up

Well said. I have the same words.

Joe Blow All they care about now is telling you how much money they got

Fr bruh

here you go. New music too. ru-vid.com/show-UCAR-wsCZ0Xn9KPqX_l2fVzQ

+Nicole Lewis PE is my al time fav group and yes they deserve a biopic!

a biopic would be awesome

On Twitter Chuck D dispelled the idea but we will see, hope he agrees but I also heard about a Def Jam movie may be in the works as well

+DJaySplitSecond Krush Groove does just fine as a biopic of Def Jam; no thank you to moder day Hollywood's gut-wrenchingly corny take on anything music industry-related.

+Hambone Jones nah that was more of Run Dmc bio pic, a def jam movie would portray the artist like DMX, Jay, meth and red but at this point no one cares lol

Public Enemy # one one one one!!!!

and MONEYYY $$

@@umbrellau8381 Right! All the businesses that vowed to leave and all the others that vowed not to ever do business in Arizona! They STILL don't give a shit about civil rights or equality..

+David Richardson listen to more. It's some of the best stuff out there.

because it made people feel something. it made them angry, and when they heard it they didn't wanna be niggas n thugs anymore, and that's why you don't hear music like this anymore. it's intelligent and has a purpose. What purpose does rap have today?? the top artists are people who don't have shit to say but look good saying it.

+rmhanzel yea exactly right. its all posers now days

Because you have to be angry, educated, have a historical perspective, and be a talented lyricist and rapper. That's a lot to ask. Most are in it for the fame and/or money.

Your generation just have to recognize your peers who are spittin the real, and most of all speak your heart when something's wack and serves the system

Hell yessss

@@Markhoss I am not talking about playing the game, that is the easy part a pc and emulator and it is done!! I am talking about the time back them how the life felt like the era 90's for example, you can't recreat that environment

Then tony hawk underground came out next year and it was 100% better

@@noaharkadedelgado2318 I was thrilled innyhe days of Underground with the new graphics of PS2 ...unfortunately i didn't finish the game like i did with 4 😞

@@libyangamer3698 I beat thug 3 times and PS4 0 times :0

I feel what you are saying. The times these days..

kweli05 The represented very intelligent, socially aware, educated yet raw rap. It got replaced with ignorant, short sighted crap with no purpose. PE did work.These new guys can take their rims and their Nike's and shove em. They couldn't even walk with PE.

Kevin G AMEN

His image is a complete lie. He was a front man for a bunch of Marxists and he lied his way to a doctorate. He also beat up white prostitutes.

Oh lucky you!!!

Good for you.

14 years old me ✌️@89

Hope someone finally accept the challenge...

phuturephunk Gen X had this shit sorted...the millennials fucked it up.

It's with Kendrick Lamar

Fuck "young artists". We need young people to appreciate this NOW.

No we need more unified artists not more racially divisive shit. With all due respect to PE. We have enough black supremacist artists like Kendrick Lamar
