I remember in the summer of 1990 in Rochester New York. Public Enemy performed and someone in the crowd yelled at Flav. A Guy told him to get his black azz off the stage. In return flav roasted the hell out of him for 20 minutes then he sung this song just for that one guy. The crowd just fell out laughing in tears.
@@swfcocs1 definitely but in terms of that industrial hip hop feel, Public Enemy is number one (hehe) Eminem probably the GOAT imo even tho i’m constantly changing my opinion
@@SeekerofTheElhohim this is well known, it's been said in SEVERAL interviews. You had to at least know that he wrote 911 is a joke right? Or did you think those were Flav's bars😂😂😂
I live through this time. And I can tell you that this song was the jam for people to dance to in House parties which people don't even do anymore, and flavor Flav was so different from every other rapper out there that he still stands out to this day. The man is musically talented and is an amazing lyricist.
The mans a genius, he took the performance art of a clown, mixed it with some 80s crackhead vibes, threw in some relatable hitting lyrics and produced this work of art, Respect Flav 😑
"You built the maze you can't get through", one of the hardest hitting line ever written in a song too many people just danced to. This was when rap mattered.
Public Enemy "Fear Of A Black Planet", has and will remain one of the Best Reality Rap Albums in the History of Rap Music. Together with Ice Cubes "The Predator "
As a European white person, for me, when I was still an early teen, Flav's quirky humorous style was a gateway to enlightenment on black oppression. He's a living legend. MAX respect to him and PE
Old Hip Hop/rap Like Public Enemy,BDP,Gang starr,etc. so many positive black Artists. Came across Educated with messages. Nowadays the unlistenable rap needs a positive message, instead of glorifying crime and abusing women and how rich they are.
