social media is obsessed with these irrelevant top 5 goat polls... P.E are a sum of the parts no terminator no griff no flavour flav no S 1 W's.. def NO chuck D...
Parents should show this to their kids to show them this was rap back in the day not now rappers bout money, women and fortune. There was public enemy spitting facts bout reality
I was the only kid in a small town rockin Public Enemy gear. I was a big hit with the rednecks and cops. 😉 I was called a wigger and a skaterfag every day. I still skate. Ass hats I went to school with are already circling the drain all fat, bald and chocked full of cholesterol. 😂😂😂 Love that karma.
Yeah! The lead scratch in the middle part sound taken from a scream on *"Ego Trippin" by Please (1976)* in The post break parte of the song. And the continuos high-pitched sound stabbed maybe from "Engine number 9" by Wilson Pickett.
dated is irrelevant...kids will hear PE for the 1st time and be inspired by it...originality can never be dated..but another corn ball rap over a lame 808.. is dated...
Favorite Rap Group. Chuck D has one of the best voices. Lyrics are phenomenal. I have seen them in concert twice. My BFF's daughter is autistic and I taught- got her to say her first words... "Fight The Power".
Yes, Chuck’s voice and delivery is unmatched! His lyrics were very teachable, many black folks just wasn’t ready for Chuck! Now today they see what he meant in his songs!!! That’s how great of a rapper Chuck is!
They also died in droves on slave ships when they were sold by other Africans to the highest bidder . You fight a fire from the source , the source of their suffering was other Black men selling them . Still going on today worse than then , but no one wants to talk about that . Too close to home for race grifters who want to point the finger instead of accepting the truth .
What a perfect track this is and it is so relevant in these sick twisted times we find ourselves in. The lyrics, scratches and the quality is TOP notch! 👌🏾
The influence of music like this is why they destroyed mtv lol. I was 10 when this came out. I rode my bike to the store miles down the road, as a white boy, and this was the first cassette tape I purchased myself. The song hits you
Fool, no it's not, if that were true they wouldn't have played it, nor would BET had its own channel, it's all about money and viewership, oddly enough PE made plenty if it in such a racist driven country
I just want to say thank you for coming to Atlantic City///public enemy ////you guys should have a fantastic //fantastic job I hope you come back next year 2025////Atlantic City the convention center///and the rest of the hip hop///and the rest of hip Hop//thank you for all the hip Hop//entertainers
And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
PE dont get the respect they deserve. There first 2 albums were the top 3 of all time as complete records. Every song was good,like the Beastie Boys Licenced to ill same thing,nobody makes records like that anymore.
