ok i had it I wish you old ass people would shutdafucup!!!, its really getting on my nerves all yall do is complain and hate ughh. whatever the case favorite song off my second favorite album of all time.
what happened to real hip hop like this with a message? i guess people would rather be entertained nowadays. most so called rappers today are just coonig any way they should get it over with and perform in blackface
Just paid up $19.99 at the record store for the CD, so now I like the Extra noise that only can come from the P.E beats, and it do'es take a Million +
My beloved and sacred HIP HOP has been handed over to the highest bidder in the "Masters" house in exchange for some "Bling Bling". People!! Check the label's on your purchase!! If it does not say "MADE IN NEW YORK", then it is NOT HIP HOP!!!
People don't realize that the lyrics are still strong, the beats are just different. There are some commercial rappers out there but there are some real talent out there.
@jtsnookie I dont know about the lyrics still being strong. I like current hip hop dont get me wrong but like the other guy said its kinda turned into hip pop. Even the average MC from the 80s would murder most of these current MCs. Theres a handfull of exceptions mainly jay, lupe fiasco so on. But in todays hip hop for every jay z theres 5 or 10 soulja boys.
@SpaceHead99 i know man, modern rap artists are garbage when it comes to songwriting and song structure...and the sad thing is people don't realize how horrible they are
Real rap with real lyrics that don't rely on an incomprehensible wall of profanity and ghetto slang about partying, money, shooting people, and disrespecting women. More power to Chuck D, keep up the good work, Mr. Drayton!
@carolinablueforlife Brotha i just want whats best for our music and our people and by that i mean all people who are used and abused, once upon a time Hip-Hop was the music of those people now a days its the music of jack ass kids who want to make a buck off their own kind by degrading our women and killing our brothers and sisters. That is not what Hip-Hop stands for, Hip-Hop was about fighting for our rights and protesting those who look to take advantage of us. We must educate the youth.
@GeneralGhost PE are one of the few rap artists I have any respect for at all, since they speak out about intelligent subjects and convey them in a serious manner. I hate modern rap since it has had nothing to say for a good 12-15 years or so now. It's degenerated into mindless party garbage like Lil' Wayne. Chuck D has every right to want to slap those ignorant fools in the head and school them on what it is to be a black man in America. Hails from a diehard headbanger to Chuck D!
Im tired of all the georpahic prejudice with these comments. I listen to rap from every region from camron to three six to rass kass to nwa to run dmc to pastor troy to t.i. to wu tang. if yo shit is dope with sum kinda lyrical content i fux wit u!
@carolinablueforlife Georpahic prejudice is a hard way to put it cause i love many rappers from the south and west. My comments about the south was made because the fact the artist from the south at least the majority of the them are just plain garbage they degrade our once great Genre of music and have turned Hip-Hop into Hip-Pop, now the same can be said for every part of the country to a certain level but it just seems that the south takes pride in the Garbage that they help create.
the story and lyrics are ridiculous. these guys were too dumb to even understand politics let alone rap against the government. catchy beat though and an absolute classic
I would like to thank Chuck D. for droppin lyrics like these. Comming up in 86,87,88,89 I was like 18yrs old. He gave alot us us a sense of pride of what it is to be black and proud. People some of us we never heard of, people like Joanne Chesimard really did exist. He had facts his music made us stronger, stronger meantally one of the realist BROTHER EVER!
This song is dedicated to enlisted dissidents,Iraq and Afghanistan invasion vets that refused to deploy and re-deploy,as well as conscientious objectors of all wars.
modern 'rappers' argue that they are just telling it like it is, but on this chuck does that and so much more, he is a threat to the state because of his actions of empowerment, not merely a threat to some other 'stick up kid' that we hear so much about today.
Oh and doesn't ever just 'chill at a club', he is the club that fights the man.
Public Enemy, Rakim and KRS1. What happened to NYC Mc's? How did we let the south take over and spread Hip-Pop? How did we let our selfs become so tainted. What happened to to the greatness of Hip Hop? What happen to my city? It started with NYC and we will bring it back to NYC one step at a time.
@GeneralGhost WHEN BOB JOHNSON SOLD B.E.T. TO VIACOM BACK IN 1997, EVERYTHING STARTED TO SLOWLY CHANGE....THAT'S WHEN MASTER P AND PUFF DADDY STARTED RAPPING...EVERYTHING WENT DOWNHILL FROM THEIR....NOW HIP HOP IS A MESS
@GeneralGhost .........Rappers started earning $100 million dollar advances from Live Nation for example. That what Jay z got. I'd sell out for $100 million dollars too. Fuck it.
@chrissline77 I agree to a point, in these tough times its easy to take the money and run. Most end up doing so but my question would be how much is enough? At what point do you say im done selling out my family, my friends, my people and of course myself. I look at Dave Chappelle who left 200+ Million on the table because he was tired of exploiting his people, most cats in rap and hip hop are so taken over by greed that they forget about whats most important and let the money control them.
@GeneralGhost ....simple. Capitalism. Thats happened to Rap. Hip hop began to reflect the ethos of America. Greed, ruthlessness, lack of empathy for one's fellow man, and a total aversion to social consciousness. Dont you think that the records and albums of today accurately reflect the social sociopaths that make up the body of the American populous?
@flipgood89 I agree 100%, every time me and friends have this debate that is the point we all seem to agree on. Capitalism always seems to be the root of all evils but more importantly as you said the Greed that Capitalism creates. The U.S. is built the idea of "whats mine is mine and whats yours will be mine". That idea builds a mentality of "Get rich or die trying" amongst colored people which has poisoned our youth and created a environment that rewards violence, disrespect, and desperation.
@GeneralGhost ....yes! so encouraged to hear from somebody that knows whats up. Its the first step towards change. Now we have to spring into action. The world needs you! Shout out to Chuck D!
I don't know if there has ever been a song that FEELS just like it's lyrical content more that this one. This song is so intense! It feels like the somebody lit a powder keg.
I was actually directed here by Crack and all I have to say is I wish this kind of hip hop was still around. Got to admit though I don't think I would ever call Flava flav to get me out of jailXD
all I know is that this song is the truth it had me wanting to act a fool in prison. you can feel it you just want to release you pain on some oppresser.
i was watchin friday night lights and they had alot of PE in that movie.. i think thas y i like it so much. esp. this song. and that isaac hayes sample is nuts...
diz is why i luv old school rap btter den da rap in our generation because they don't talk bout shit besides money, cars, clothes and fuckin bitches,but with old rap dey talked bout our problems and how we need to love one another. GOTTA LUV OLD SCHOOL RAP. YEA BUDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@conspr33 if you brought up that daydream NWO shit in front of Chuck he'd tell you to stop daydreaming and START dealing with the real New World Order which has existed since the start of the 20th century. The free market agenda IS the new world order, all belief in secret orders is as insubstantial as belief in religion - and pretty much based on the same instinctual suspicions. The real conspiracies are out in the open if YOU put the time in towards reading up on them.Millions dead - no secret
@conspr33 I'm saying it's already here... a lot of you talk as if NWO is some coming apocalypse, but it's existed since ww2 - liquidation of Euro & Japanes empires was the US motivation for joining ww2, and then they spent half century waiting for the other superpower to implode before going for the oil
@Ben0itZ today's rap is either dance music or a bunch of punks braggin' about what they have. Politically speaking, PE is still at the top of their game.
"...the reasons are several, most of them FEDERAL..." Chuck D was one of the REALEST MC's EVER!!!! The "hard rhymer" was very underrated as an MC, but his impact on hip-hop (and society in general) will be felt FOREVER...PE, baby!!!! This is one of the deepest, and BEST hip-hop songs ever made...
jesus im a teen but this album is the shit, and kanye's made some great albums, still he's no chuck d as far as being a lyricist and a storyteller, his strength is mainly producing.
I dig this shit , it brought a lot of light to civil lberties not being acknowledged for alot of people , as well it brought homeless ness to the front
Any one who has been there knows that this is the real. shout out to Monster Kody and Geronimo and Mutulu and Assata and JD and Mumia and all the Marines doin time for being what they trained us to be. It aint easy walkin point.
Man PE was the shit i grew up on this shit since the 80's.. but then they got all black power and shit something i cant relate to and they got all spike lee stupid... so ehh.. but the old shit like this still kicks ass.
Ill give them a chance cause im civilized... as for the rest of the world they cant realize!

Best rap song EVER!!!!

Probably my favorite PE song of them all.
Somebody HAS to tell me what Chuck says in the CHORUS though.
Start at 5:06. What does Chuck say?
It's CLEARER at 5:21 though. "Yeah they got me in a..." what's the last word?

@TrueTalkTV 'CELL'
bigbrothabruno 1 year ago
@TrueTalkTV The word is CELL - the story is about a prison riot/escape...
This is one of their better songs EVER...so underrated now in 2010...
I still say that album (It takes a nation of millions...) was THE BEST in rap/hiphop
Mschattrj 1 year ago
@Mschattrj Yeah. I knew the story. I just couldn't tell that he said "cell."
This is ABSOLUTELY one of their better songs tho. I completely agree with you.

I love Public Enemy's beats. They make them to agress people. Chuck D is the prophet of rap! They are the greatest hip hop group.
1. Public Enemy
2. N.W.A.
3. Wu-Tang Clan
