Hey Beautiful people!!! Just a reminder for you all and the new people coming in, Here's my New Reaction Channel!!! Here's the link! Reaction Channel: ru-vid.com/show-UCmYvtpkUsXyyVIuNgSMTtKQ
When Chuck says “90 damn days on a SLAVE SHIP…..” These lyrics TUG AT YOUR SOUL. When you close your eyes and really listen to these lyrics, you can FEEL the pain.
Flava is a member of Public Enemy, one of the most influential Rap group in rap history. Flava invented the hype man role as he was the first, before the hype man term was ever used. They are in the rock and roll hall of fame because of their social commentary in hip hop throughout the late 80s early 90s time period.
I,m a 44 yr old Mexican and I love this beat from back in my high school years, though I can't help to almost cry every time I pay attention to the lyrics, I wish more youngsters check this video just like you did, mind opener!
I grew up on Hip Hop. Loved Public Enemy as a teenager, as well as all the other groups and music that was created then. Black History is so important for our people to continue to keep alive, generation after generation because what you forget is what you will repeat.
I was in college when I saw this video, and I still couldn't watch it without my jaw being tight. But, that's why I'm a huge Public Enemy fan. They don't sugar coat anything. They feed it to you raw.
Things havent changed just the time period. Public Enemy was part of a lost Golden Era of Hip Hop where they spoke truth told story had substance and stood for something (no so much today) so a song like this is eye opening and real and the video displaced what he was saying plus it jumped between slavery days and present day so they saying nothing really changed we just turned a blind eye to it.
Stay fearless in your reactions. We need to see the past and the present with clear eyes and no filter. Honest reflection is the only way we can keep making ourselves and our society better. Public Enemy pulled no punches. Chuck D is one of the top voices in rap history, both in tone and substance.
Yeah Baby, Public Enemy was real. With Chuck D's voice slammin' that info at you and that, Yeah, uncomfortable message. But you have to understand the point of the video. The same system and attitudes that were present during slavery are STILL present today. And as good as it has gotten the struggle HAS to continue for EVERYONE to prosper.
It was wild, watching Sis get emotionally stuck with this. That's most young people, thinking things have changed. But I don't blame here. This stuff is not getting taught anywhere. Baby Girl's Dad is a wise man for putting her onto this. This was my personal anthem for years.
Joy you are funny and beautiful inside and out u bring happiness to this world with your honest reviews on your channel I wish more young folks take the time to learn 90s hip hop on how real we were in delivery and lyrics and storytelling that we lack of these days.
Just a regular white guy here.... not to cause any trouble mind you. I remember that song... was pretty powerful back then. Pretty sure I've never oppressed anyone - my Christian values taught me that was wrong. But I do recognize the historic oppression blacks have endured. I'll fight for the rest of my years (I'm 50 now in 2021) against it. Know that my father was indeed racist - he was brought up that way - but he changed his views and acceptance in his latter years before his death in 2013. That gives me hope as we move forward, together, as Americans.,
There are arseholes in every race, creed and culture. But there's no profit to be made in ordinary folk just getting along. Divide and conquor is the oldest trick in 'The Man's' playbook. And believe me, right now. We are ALL being played!
I think we definitely need to talk about it and learn from it or it’s going to repeat itself. And by talking about it with a compassionate heart we can heal it ,rise above it. 💗💗💗
Shout out to ya pops. Interesting reaction...Conciousness was up in the "in yo face era".... I hope the sleepwalking, candy a$$ era ended with 2020. Check out Ice Cube "Who got the camera"....
My favorite part is the okie doke uncle same niccuh sticking up for the White boss giving tem their pink slip then getting one himself. That happens all the time.
Great reaction, great song ,Regina King and Clifton Powell (Pinky) made a cameo in this video, in my opinion Public Enemy is the greatest rap group of all time, they talk about issues a lot of artist are afraid to talk about, they were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.
Oh I'm glad your dad said to listen to P.E.! They are my favorite hip-hop act. They were aggressive and educational. Have you heard Reagan, by Killer Mike? Edu-tainment. History lessons on the mic
Youngster and a Pretty one at that….Public Enemy was saying to my youth is that “Nothing Change but only the faces.” And when you really think about it….the faces didn’t changed too much due to DNA genetics.
Cost of the holocaust I'm talking bout the one still going on.....PROPHECY!!!!!👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡...LOVE PUBLIC ENEMY!!!!✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿💪🏿💪🏿🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
Hey Princess, if you can, check out a powerful video by the Ojay's called "Ship Ohoy", just so you can know your history, because people who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it. New young leaders of today need to know the truth in order to speak to the wrong thatbis going on today. It is still happening today, just in other forms, and the younger generation today need to know about their heritage, and that is why it is so important today with the music reactions that are happening today, important for blacks and whites to listen to to learn America's history, because being in the dark, helps the racist and racism to continue. The old school music is a learning tool that sounds good.
Yeah, China just now recovering from the Opium War with The West, I was born in the 70s before Reagan and his Crack, we are still feeling the effects from our countries Opium wars against the Black Inner Cities, if you were black you were a drug dealer or user in many a cops eyes, if you were white you were assumed on sight to be in the hood looking for drugs, between 1983 when I was 10 til 1998 when I was 25, I saw the black prison population increase 26 fucking times, back then the murder rate was way higher than today, only difference most of the murders were in the hoods, Crack and Guns caused it, neither was as plentiful in the 70s but everywhere by late 90s...400 years I got 400 tears for 400 peers, died last year from gang related crimes, that's why I write gang related rhymes, Ice Cube.
