Ron Paul 2012

[bumbar144]

i think that goverment was the weakest '80-95 and we then crash it only,,,but now,but 2day they can nd will blackmail us with...for example SOPA,ACTA,PIPA....

[waydeburton]

1989, the number, another summer....

[Raford146]

"Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamp"

[Shattered1992]

@Raford146 heroes get used then thrown away in this world of ours and the rich get all the glory. The only way to change this is for the people to do exactly what this song says. banding together to fight the power and make their own way fair and just for all and make the rich realise we won't take their bullshit anymore and that we the people rule our lives not them.

[77musica]

@Raford146 elvis and john wayne were fags

[poorlittlepawn]

I fought the law and the law won...

[Sharangir]

Fight all governments! There's no authority but yourself!

[MunicipalMeep]

Syria needs to hear this song...

[werwr4]

my people in oakland. i want you all too blast this during the day and anywhere the riots are.

[aanleunwoning]

[flashsonic45789]

[09smithl]

Flavor Flav's dancing from 2:11 - 2:24

[kalijasin]

He called Elvis a racist. LOL

[botulinotoxin]

it serves me right to hallucinate

[kalijasin]

This song started a whole movement!!!!

[Szaam]

I bet Flavor Flav was never late for anything.

[fryelee11]

Would'nt trade this in for anything! Does'nt get any more powerful than this!

[stickmakerman]

@fryelee11 wouldn't*

doesn't*

[1enaigbe]

fight the power b****

[eventuallly]

i think the 'power' is sometimes weak and lame and ultimately inconsequential. I think they are paid too much respect sometimes.

[Andredias164]

this group owns any hip hop artist from our currently days

[AndrewOAsare]

FUCK ELVIS AND JOHN WAYNE LMAO.......

[Nilton22692]

Esse é o verdadeiro Rap americano.Rap que defende o povo,não que ofende seu povo.

Por isso que o Chuck D elogia,o hip hop brasileiro e que só cresce..

[jdilly1000]

Mannn this song a little TOO DAMN POWERFUL! This is RIOT MUSIC!!!

[93boldaslove]

what blows THE fuc outa me ppl will dress up in the clothes of this era and ignore the message completely 

[DontForgetToSmileXD]

what are they wearing? o.O

[gandhijii778899]

4:20 WTF!!

[Er89John]

0:04 DECEPTICON!!!!

[MrGuitarShowMan]

thumbs up for Radio Barjo!

[IlluminatedPhantom]

What generic top comments. Totally unintelligent bias nonsense. I am sure Chuck D would be proud of such stupidity.

[arsenedevos]

Thumbs up for the epic ginger @ 2:33

[xXBlackxRebelXx]

@arsenedevos that man is "black"

[squarecracker]

1991- Rodney king gets beaten. Fight the power is on the radio. Riots happen.

2012- Police killing people by the dozens everyday. Drake is on the radio. Nothing happens.

[IlluminatedPhantom]

@squarecracker "Police killing people by the dozens everyday" I'd love to see your proof. How about a legit source with these statistics. Though I am sure you just bullshitted for thumbs up. BTW, music isn't supposed to inspire black people to loot.

[squarecracker]

@IlluminatedPhantom Eat a dick, son. Yes. Sources. I do not know how to work teh google. Police never killed anyone and everyone who gets shot by the cops deserves it.....Rap music these days is totally awesome and plays know role in the cognitive processes of young people...., Let's go listen to some plies and jerk each other off faggot

[mamacornettesmoney]

@squarecracker You took a mighty big leap from "police murdering dozens by the day" to "police never kill and everyone deserves it". How about actually inserting reality into the proceedings, because neither of those statements is anywhere close to true.

[nanelin1]

@squarecracker what did riots solve...what is the occupy movement...why do you think your making a dramatic point?

[itsamedium]

@nanelin1 there is no occupy movement nor was there ever..it was a bunch of angry white people with degrees in jobless industries complaining about nothing...simple solution, take a lower paying job until you can find a job that suits you...rioting about rodney king was a common goal among the black community, they were outraged that some shit like that could go down....coming from a 19 year old white kid

[jeremycohen96]

@squarecracker oh true because the Arab Spring didnt happen whatsoever

[squarecracker]

@jeremycohen96

Yeah man cause they totally spinning waka flocka over there in Egypt.

My comment pertains to the cultural influence music has in America. When popular music reflects a popular struggle, people react accordingly. When popular music reflects the values of materialism and blithe ignorance, people react in kind. Peace to the gods, read your math, hold your head.

[JOHNNYHAZRD23]

@squarecracker

people die every day only reason the rod king was important cause his name had king in it

[nygiantsfromcali]

@squarecracker Fuck Rodney king - willie d

[squarecracker]

@nygiantsfromcali

You don't get the message of the song, bro. Rodney was a bad individual, high on PCP driving 120mph down a highway. Riots are dumb but police brutality is inexcusable. The fact is, hip hop plays a role in the black consciousness. When unarmed Sean Bell was shot 50 times in New York, nobody set a car on fire. Nobody did anything. I do believe this is a result of Black Leaders like Chuck D being replaced by wack ass dudes in jeggings. Just my opinion.

[squarecracker]

@nygiantsfromcali I really like geto boys. I am kinda trying to make the same point Willie D is in that song. I am do not support Rodney King as an individual, I think he is a piece of shit and a homo.

[Ryan199403]

@squarecracker

RESPECT!!!!!

[jake2k9100]

@squarecracker not really as we had riots in the Uk for that reason

[fear123wz]

@squarecracker Police killing drug dealers who have no jobs living on wellfare everyday. Applause. Stop trying to find shortcuts and lie and cheat your way through life. Work hard and pursue whatever you want in life and its yours.

[squarecracker]

@fear123wz Keep thinking in black and white terms, you simpleton. I hope your Grandma gets shredded by the swat team thinking that they're busting down a drug dealer's door. This happens every day in America. You honestly think the American dream still exists? You work hard your whole life and get your retirement stolen by some asshole whose never worked a day in his. Politicians bone you and you cheer them on. You're a fucking joke, little nigga.

[90steenager]

At the start is that a Decepticon flag? The boosting / stick up gang?

[wearealltubes]

Clocks on mobile phones killed the rap star.

[MyHomeJamaica]

Te kocie ruchy

[2012goingNutz]

[gvi88]

FIGHT THE MOTHERFUCKING SOPA

[ThisIsVice]

IN THIS DARK TIME, THE REAL ENEMY GOES BY THE NAME "SOPA"!

I JUST ASK FOR SOME CONSCIOUSNESS PEOPLES!

[themountainzg]

HIP HOP ....nothing else needs to be said

[wallnutwhip1]

YEEEAHHH BWWWOYYYY!!!!

[FAMBOY92]

Elvis was a hero 2 most but he never meant shit to me, cause he straight up racist the sucka was simple and plain. (Muthafuck him and John Wayne) thats my favorite part of the song.cause Elvis took Chuck Berry (Black Man) style and now they say he's the king of Rock & Roll. Look here black people made up Rock & Roll, R&B, Hip Hop, Pop, the only thing white people made up was that wack ass Country music. realtalk.

[conzoYB]

loving all the Black Panthers escorting them! hahaha, yess!!

[themahermax]

@conzoYB they are not the black panthers , they were former members of the band...their name is SW1 short for ( security of the first world)..it's a curious combination of bodyguards & dancers for the band....members name :

Professor Griff

Terminator X

Pop Diesel

Brother James

James Bomb

[JonnyBoy241]

hecca old school

[acdcfan0986]

mother fuck him& John Wayne!

[deadELVIS911]

Elvis was a hero to most, But he never meant shit to me you see! LOL

[robertly3]

@deadELVIS911 mother bleep him & John Wayne!

[ClassOfSixtyOne]

I fight the power every day, but it is not about race or ethnicity or religion. Look around, the color of power is green and the ones you think are your brothers and sisters and stand by you, will sell you out in the name of Benjamin Franklin. Yes, fight the power brothers and sisters, fight the greedy, fight the Green God. To have a great life you don't need millions, all you need is enough to take care of yourself and those whom you love. Greed kills. Money means nothing if you are dead....

[lewis1726]

just saying find a white person in this vid

[DAHOODANGELZ]

lol why he never changed ugh thats kinda gross but yes its been along time since a message like this had been released

[MrZanetha]

Rise!!!!! 

[differentandalike]

Amazing

[monstaslaya]

Everyone in Public Enemy deserve much more than all the mainstream rappers today, look what they did for hip-hop. But they stayed true and haven't sold out like Eminem and 50 Cent, which makes me respect them a lot.

[trufiend138]

@TheBNPcrussader you prob dont even know any black ppl...go to their homes, ea the food, play with the children....the struggle about the character and spiritual assassination that white America has been waging on blacks since 1600's ...THE STRUGGLE IS ALSO ABOUT black's not perpetuating the harm to each other and taking accountability as well...

[xtremeriepit]

big classiqueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeee

[xReturnOfTheDeadx]

FIGHT THE POWER for God´s sake!

[xReturnOfTheDeadx]

Back in the day when Rappers had to say something. Show me today just 1 Single rapper or Rap-group which is able to make a whole quarter of a town to get on its feet.

Todays Rap should be called CRap.

[MrLokoboko]

@xReturnOfTheDeadx Yea man i m dow with you!Ili ako cemo na nasem,skroz si u pravu!Much love from Serbia for the good old days.2pac,Notorious,Das Efx,Publick Enemy,Wu Tang Clan,Bronx,Crooklyn,Staten Island,Harlem,and all good hoods in NYC!!@!

[xReturnOfTheDeadx]

@MrLokoboko xaxaaxaa brate jesi video naseg "Srbina" kako dize 3 prsta u centru slike 2:22 ?? ;-)))

[MrLokoboko]

@xReturnOfTheDeadx Da,da,da,koje ludilo,ne verujem,gde si to primetio.....

[artoprecords]

@xReturnOfTheDeadx You're so damn right

[ClooneyThunder]

@xReturnOfTheDeadx ever heard of Ice Cube

[xReturnOfTheDeadx]

@ClooneyThunder guess what, actually you brought me to Ice Cube lol. C´mon kid, when I was on a Ice Cube concert you even was not in your father´s nuts with your years of age, you was humus, actually I could be your father. About him I can say that his first 3, 4 albums were pretty good, he also made a track with those guys here; "Burn, Hollywood, Burn", but then he started to act in Hollywood movies a la "Anaconda" or "Three Kings", he is a fuckin´sell-out.

[ClooneyThunder]

@xReturnOfTheDeadx my age doesn't matter when it comes to listening to rap/hip - hop, i know present day rap sucks dick but the point of this is you said "show me today one single rapper... which is able to make a whole quarter of a town get on its feet" i proved my point, That nigga Ice Cube still gets down even after being a sellout hes a fucking O.G.

[xReturnOfTheDeadx]

@ClooneyThunder yes, that´s my point. And you should question why I wrote that; you should question why people back in the 80´s get on their feet....cos they "fought the power", but today they do it cos they are "The West", ridiculous.

[Dzoete]

@xReturnOfTheDeadx They all sold out these days,damn shame

[ThisIsVice]

@xReturnOfTheDeadx check out kropz, he's a very conscious uk rapper, i support for a while
