Public Enemy-Shut'em Down

[nastyj74]

looks and sounds kinda like whats goin on now...except now it doesnt matter what color you are so much as the money you got. The 99% are being made slaves by the 1%. This music is trancendental and timeless

[Jafashions]

Funny how i'm 17 and I listen to 90's music more than the bullshit thats put out today !

[3811iberis]

This is arguably one of their best tracks, the beat is full of power and strength, along with Terminator X's superb scratchin'. If this track doesn't get you hyped as a Black man, then nothin' will do it, timeless 90's hip hop track and video, from a legendary hip hop group, no doubt...

[SuperAfroMac]

hell yeah

[drjasonjcampbell]

the revolution will not be televised!!!! because sheep don't know how to fight

[jules5434]

OCCUPY...Shut em Down

[Kelly119119]

I saw PE in concert in 1991, it was a great show. After they came onto the street to sign posters and shirts. I shook Chuck's hand. This is real rap...not about getting high, or buying cars...it has real world impact.

[TENBGOL1]

One of the illest Hip Hop Jams of all time.

And yes I prefer this original version.

[YourFunkLord]

@TENBGOL1 Can't Agree With You More. This Track Has Always Been My Favorite.

[mrman3810]

before 50, before Jigga Man, before eminem there was Chuck D a righteous black man who told the truth about america he was like the spike lee of hip hop.

[IrocChevy350]

The Original Is Dope But I'd Say Pete Rock's Remix Is Better!

[wistoncap]

If one was ever asked to defend the proposition that rap or hip hop was legitimate art.... PE would be all you would need to defend your argument.

[ojones46]

[bshort31092]

@CitySkin09 They actually do have a vevo channel. There's a link to their music on that profile next to this video, but I doubt that was their doing as much as it was their labels'.
