Public Enemy - Night Of The Living Baseheads: Dope Version

[goku2525]

I know every word to every one of their songs. PE is the BEST RAP GROUP EVER!!!!!!!! Everytime I hear Lil Wayne or Gucci or Young anything I cry because Hip Hop is dead and it's not going to come back. PE FOREVER!!!!!

[BobbyGreenway34]

No Doubt PE is greatest of all time!

[FulltimeDabbler]

I just realized the significance of them filming part of this right in front of the abandoned audobon theater

[dzynone]

Now that rappers are PAID, we'll never see this kind of message again.

[1cambiamos]

This the illest shit I ever seen.

[caribolu1]

whats the version thats in eric kosons video

[sobermay192008]

shame on a brotha for dealin on the same block my 98 be wheelin'

[SebSk]

Good shit. Not as it is today. (I'm 21 and act like ol' grandma, 'is sayin sumthin...)

[masterjey51]

Best Hip-hop group ever!!!

[kmiles8176]

This is what hip hop started out as to be, a voice of those without one. telling what was happening in the hood, not a minstal hood story, but what was truly going on. wake up new rappers , wake up!

[Doggfan]

Flavor Flav 2:00

[sonlito]

chris thomas mayor of rapcity

[2202lindenblvd]

PE is the most influential rap group of all time

[dlonegunman]

YYYEEAAAHHHH BOOOYYYEEEEEEE!!!!!!

[CHEVYRYDA215]

P.E. STILL IS THA SHIT!!!!!!!!!

\

[skoolboy77]

FCC sucks ass

[ZJESemler]

LMBO love this track, im oply 15, but this old school music i would listen to over most stuff made today, we need more good beats and rhymes like these

[23MIKE95]

Same here and I'm only 14! Best album in Hip-Hop is "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back", everyone knows that!

[MissLadyShai1977]

You get my respect young man! You are one of those who have knowledge of true hip hop! Seeing your comment made my day.

[23MIKE95]

@MissLadyShai1977 Fear Of A Black planet is also amazing, right up there with the classic.

[koolkeith74]

It's amazing how 20 years later PE's sound is still ahead of its time. The concept of this song and video along with the fact they are making a social statement without sounding preachy (looking at you Dead Prez) .... Public Enemy (still) number ONE!

[thor7789]

''Many of us, by the way we act, have lost our minds'' ............. That line is for Flavor Flav ...lol

Choooooon!

[lostdogrwd101]

my #1 hip hop video of all time

[kontekoekerd]

Check Mc Paris.The devil made me do it and more.

great video

[deezvids]

yeeeah boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! xD

[Jshmelo]

This just in - Red Alert!

[theslts]

hey can censorship get any weird they bleep out the word god , at the begginig of the song, in association with one of my favorite bands and this song...are you tube or the original censors

sugesting they dont have the right to use one of the most over used words in the english language ...what are they suggesting i wonder.......

[tooshive]

No...not really.  Its just the censors (FCC) considers the word "damn" only profanity when its used in the phrase "god damn". Other than that...you can use it all day long. So its up to whoever is producing a "piece" to decide which of the two words will be censored and I guess most people choose "god". Go figure.

[dappadan16]

Here it is baammmmm and we say god damn.....now dis is a tune!!!!! RIP dubsta

[ABCRE2]

Bez & Flav are both Supreame Hypemen.

[brothabl]

and to think hip hop had something to say at one time, the demise started with Puffy and them shiny suits all downhill from there

[skyballer7]

P.E. RAPPED ABOUT THA REAL...NOT THIS LOW-BUDGET BS some of these so-called rappers rappin' about...

[swordsaintman]

chris thomas was a funny ass comedian!

[junodavid]

Such a great time for Rap and this song is a classic.

[damiansanchez3]

lol beeper tie

[optimumvalue9]

Bez and Flavor Flav...separated at birth??...what do ya think

[robotwun]

i think you're dumber than a bag of rocks.

[optimumvalue9]

Bit harsh old lad B-(

[stevens15007]

love the PE

[gbmssteve]

5:08 to 5:21 was daddy-o talkin bout flavor flav,,,,,,,,,,where they rocked to a different kinda ,com'0n now............

[ronnie28447]

what???????????????????

[gbmssteve]

wow was flav really dancin or was he jus feelin the effects of the megablast he used to take!>>>> he was a bashead too que no??

[simssimsalonzo]

I do agree flav turned into the biggest sell out. But they was still the bomb.

[dafdeniro]

One of the bst hip-hop videos ever!!!!

[topholewhat0]

This track is 20+ years ahead of it's time!

[Ratt1971]

i could never eat a reahsus monkey,for it has an opposable thumb.

[555willah]

2:35 lol nice flavor kick! : )

[scottstyles2]

Hey "dyznutz1971" That aint no damn Wanda sykes!

[pierre59000live]

Whaaaaaaaaah !

[ciremfuch1]

Yo Sheryl, kick the ballistics GEEEE!!

-Flav is the best!!!

[prophetbyronmotley]

With the direction rap is going in these days, talking about nothing in particular, I actually agree with the brown bags! How sad is that?

[DANALEXJOHN]

remember tapping my head to this watching yo mtv raps.'it takes a nation of millions...'is mos def top 5 album of all time of any genre.revolutionary

[seesheirf]

YOOOOO!!!!

'Fessa Griff in da HAAAAWSSE!

The way it should be. P.E. was never the same without GRIFF. Or maybe just sign of the times. I still think Chuck D turned his back on Griff. Griff stood up for what he believed in. He was wrong in blaming all jews instead of just the Zionists. Misinformed, sadly.

[lad4eva09]

1 word DOPE!

[hoktoshinken]

Here is a true tale bout the ones that deal are the ones fail..We gotta fix it..check out the justice and how THEY RUN IT..sellin, smellin, sniffin, riffin, and brothas try to get swift in..sell to they own, rob a home, while some shrivel to bone, like comatose walkin around please dont confuse this with the sound Im talkin bout BASE!

Shame on a brotha that be dealin, the same block where my 98 be wheelin.

Where they ROCK to a different kind of,cmon yall! Chuck D One of if not the hardest ever

[lad4eva09]

You took the words out of my mouth. Dam this was the shyt right? I was the only female back in the day that new all the words and was hooked like a fiend on their music waiting for my next fix. Nice words my sista or brotha.

[hoktoshinken]

Its brotha....Puerto RIcan brotha...lol..but thanks.....I used to stop and rewind tapes till they bled....hahaha

[mightyblack1]

Damn this was back in the day when Flav had his head on straight,now he's no longer fighting the power,he's part of the problem.

[jordan484]

One of the best videos and songs ever!

[mightyblack1]

Hey Jordan484,all we get now from artist of today is bling,bling, bull shit and the R&B aint too much about nothing.

[jordan484]

i agree.white supremacy have alot to do with that

[mightyblack1]

True.

[blacksultan85]

don't forget nursery rhymes like do the Stanky Leg LOL!!!!!!

[mightyblack1]

Man,that another point that shows Hip Hop taking a huge step backwards.

[blacksultan85]

lol yeah!

[dwarnay]

best crew that ever did it! the last time that hip hop was truly a movement, they inspired fans listen and to think about more than just records sales cars and women.....

so they new they had to have an incredible sound!

[VikingThor1]

Audubon Ballroom - Feb 21st 1965, site of Malcom X's assassination at Broadway X 165th st in upper Manhattan / north of Harlem

[grubeci]

madoff I'm not mad anymore...I think I need a monopoly guy....train in some ramens..thank you!

[grubeci]

I hear you brother man...jealousy is scary....THE HUGE GREEN EYE

a problem. you have to make a dollar more over a woman and tell her so

[ShasoDnarb]

I'd forgotten how heavy and impressive they really were...

[akme33]

minkia........troppo forti

[KamanchiSly]

One of the best tunes on " It takes a Nation of Millions"

[verdemanthe1]

Is flavor flav a crackhead or what serious I used to think it was an act but now I think crack really fuct him up

[Ratt1971]

fuck all that white shit;;;}}}-how dare they create 'rock n roll' from slavery;;-cept i love music

[terrorbytepresents]

Love the coke snortin corporate scum running for cover in the boardroom.

[bwsdavid]

"lucy is going through problems"

[sweetriverbanks1]

I heard an interview where Chuck D said P.E. wanted a sound that had the energy of crack and what it was doing to the community. I'll be damned if they didnt capture the sound damn near perfectly. Organized Noise. Its genius.

[macky765]

im not sure but i think the bomb squad produced this. i know they produced many of their other tracks. the way they mix things tracks is insane, you would never know the original songs they way they mix it. they were the best production team out, they also did ice cube stuff

[LakeRafiD]

P.E. the enemy because we are reality, boyee! Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Terminator X, Professor Griff, and the S1Ws forever!

[macky765]

hahahahh check out flava on 1:38 hes going insane lol

[CommunityPurple]

where can i get the instrumental

[lucavfr]

flavour flav is the sun

public enemy number one|

[TheRealCritique]

is that erkel in the red as the interviewer? THis song is better uninterrupted but that's video for you...Chuck D was so far above any rapper today its not even worth discussing. Age had nothing to do with his intelligence, he was smart from the gitgo. P Diddy and JayZ and all the other morons are bullshit compared to Chuck D. The Bomb Squad are basically unequalled as well. Noone followed where they went or asked them how to do it. Rappers and producers today are lazy pieces of shit.

[1aaronaaron1]

amazing video

[dznutz1971]

I think Lucy..the wife of a basehead in this video was played by a young Wanda Sykes.

[mr2damngood73]

Chris Thomas the first Mayor of Rap City doing the different voices especially Richard Pryor

[Skindoggiedog]

Public Enemy #1

[Rise519]

But let's define the term called dope when you think it mean funky now,No!

[yardmarley]

Please don't confuse this wit the sound..Im talking bout BASE

[Rise519]

Yard Marley? Cool name!

[terrorbytepresents]

Here it is BAM!

And you say goddam

This is a dope jam

Love the part where all the corporate scum doing coke in the boardroom get caught out by PETV

[gizcas]

classic hip hop for those who dont know

[low803]

i think this was the first video i saw too... cuz this was round the crack era

[StylusXXX]

PE are probably one of the most sampled outfits ever! they are all over new rap, techno, rnb

[FatMat426]

TERMINATOR X!

[reeteep]

whahahha istill love it PB in afect

[LadyJay114]

What ever happened to Chris Thomas from BET???

[LadyJay114]

[smartwerker]

[coseonertukmob]

[PlowThrough8]

Ill Stick Wit Da Crack And Da Herb

[Kevodah]

I love how they had a lil humor to such a serious message.

[hypnyxx]

I love the Flava Flav dance. LoL

[mymomasnetwork]

P.E. it don't get NO better. none of today's rappers have real flavor most of them sound like their just talking. rappers back in the day had style in their deliver, the sound of their voices were distinguished and different....

[Thebadrapper]

I agree. Within 3 seconds of hearing an old school song you could tell which group it was. Todays rappers with vocalizers and their delivery all sound alike

[grimslider75]

LONG LIVE CHUCK D

[TeoTheMaestro]

love it.one of my favourite rap album ever.the bomb squad team crush your bones

[avonkid64]

the peas ruined dis

[jubbadnn]

why I cant find this song with none of the bull commenteries in it. THE BEST PE song ever and they messing it up.

[dueceduece45]

Thats how they made the video.This is the official video for the song.If you looking for the song u may have to download it from limewire.or another one.Ares Galaxy.Way better than Limewire and its free

[jrag1000]

haha, like Dr. Dre and Snoop.

Flava Flav and Chuck D.

[terrence5940]

[rasranks]

Mrs G- I feel you on this one. Rap today is crazy

[patg074]

when we were brought here we were robbed of our name, robbed of our language. we lost our religion, our culture, our god. and many of us by the way we act, we even lost our minds. real hip-hop lives on!!!

[Braktooth]

This song is incredible, maybe the best on what is arguably the best rap album of all time. I love this video.

[mixmstr33]

This is the best album of all time! Classic...front to back. Get yourself a beeper tie.

[marijnes77]

Afrika Bambaataa at 0:47

[stillthefnshow]

Classic P.E.!!! I had this on tape back in the day!!

[DX1257]

Classic!! I always wondered how the old school rappers feel about rap music today. I mean, they created an art and now it has turned from art into constant sampling, foul mouth, disrespecting garbage. All I know, is when rap 1st came out there was peace, respect , enjoyment and there wasn't a recession at that time!

[2000steady]

Here it is, bam and you say god damn this is the dope jam. No thats a intro.

[Coldbeast1]

The Greatest Hip Hop Video of All Time!!!

[humanumgenus]

in the name of the blessed God "lorenzojhwh" proposes to all the religions of the world humbly, in the spirit of Assisi wanted by all the holy fathers of the world and called by the holy Pope John Paul II to dedicate every Monday to pray for the: 1) peace of the world 2) perfect harmony between religions 3) true freedom of religion in the world. So God bless us all: AMEN Peace and prosperity is in your borders my dear brother so much loved and desired in all the world!

[LittleAntichrist]

I don't know much about Public Enemy, I just recently got to listening to some of their stuff. I like what I hear though, and I definitely understand a lot of the oppressed feelings of different races.

[onnion63]

shame on a brother who be dealin' ..the same block where my 98 be wheelin'...Tricky's cover of Black Steel is insane also.

[emonethousand]

ive never seen that. good stuff. thank you.

[vegasgump37]

PE cannot be touched with the original thoughts they had in their videos.. long live the baseheads wash pot!

[sum9090]

why people still say that eminem is gangsta? i don't think that he is a gangsta rapper.. but.. imho he do "entertain hip-hop"..

[cashscholar]

just in this Red Alert. I saw this video 500 times over the past 20 years and it wasn't until recently that I realized DJ Red Alert handed the news reporter the "red alert" hahahahaha

[SouthBxkrills]

somebody wasn't paying attention!!!

[Gukuthegreat]

Good Song!!!

[ez4u2beme]

PE and NWA were dichotomies that brought the plight of the Black community to the forefront. However, the control and distribution of the music led us to the derivatives of NWA, i.e., Dre, Eminem, and 50, who now personify gansta rap and how it is represented in the main stream media. What would rap be like now if we had popular descendants of PE flourishing in the industry? Makes you wonder why the Library of Congress chose 'Fear of a Black Planet' for preservation.

[hoktoshinken]

Simple...gangsta rap is destructive in nature to its own people. They cannot allow the true undergrounds revolutionary's flourish in the main stream. Groups such as Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, Outterspace...to name a few, would lift the consciousness of the sheeple, and that my friend would have them thinking.......

[aush1969]

I learned more about black history from PE then I ever did in school. Black History month at school only remined me of salvery and MLK.

[playajaydaboss]

damn shame i did too and do you know people still dont no what we no about our history because of rap today

[ToshiAburakoji]

This is my favorite rap video for mad years, it's just so funny and of course the song is still dope after all these years.

[VAThrasher]

WHY would you have Khalid Abdul Muhammed on it?! the guy and his rhetoric are just as bad as any other irrational racist. i've always admired chuck d for his great. thought-provoking lyrics. i listen for public enemy NOT elijah muhammed

[1snugglec]

u r funny! the most deceptive snake. u personify the most dangerous racist.

[VAThrasher]

just curious, how exactly does opposing a man who wants separatism and advocates violence, make me racist?

[1snugglec]

u r racist, bcuz u choose to conceal the truth and reveal half truths. it's a big difference between unwarranted violence, and self defence. u speak of separatism as if it's a dirty word. SODOM AND GOMORRAH, MOSES AND PHAROAH. it has been perscribed by the most high when u r amongst a people, or system that is hell bent on wickedness. AMERIKKKA IS BABYLON, and they oppress other countries that resist the masquerade of democracy. NEWSFLASH: GOD'S LAW IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE OR A VOTE.

[macky765]

hahahahahh every time i look at the vid i watch flava, he was insane back then lol

[nipsca]

Eric Kostons Fully Fared !!

[17mark1717]

if it wasn't for rap bands like PE there would be no President Obama THINK ABOUT IT

[fmendezxxx]

Bands like PE helped me see how fucked up society is... hail the old school

[Argee11]

"My man Daddy-O once said to me/He knew a brother who stayed all day in his Jeep/And at night he went to sleep/And in the morning all he had was sneakers on his feet"

This is why I will NEVER get behind people like Rick Ross and Young Jeezy!

[bettercall2]

This track will never get old! Funny how accurate they are about Wall Street!!!!

[lilreece2424]

my favorite song eva,public enemy da best group eva,moflow p e #1.

[silky1700]

How Low Can U Go?

[Wizdome1]

Such a cool videclip.

[alcorderyjr]

"The culprit used ta jam and rock the mic,

yo he stripped his jeep to fill his pipe

and wandered 'round to find a place,

where they rocked to a different kind of ..."

Brilliant intelligent lyricism, the video concept may be unmatched (hard to go against Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos) . What a time for Hip Hop music, the unity we'll probably never get back, Bambatta, notice DJ Red Alert giving the "red alert"? I'm glad I grew up in this era where Hip Hop had variety, so unlike today.

[metroman2009]

west coast has really good shit, but id like to see them do this. east coast forever

[mixmstr33]

We had one group NWA that had an impact. For me personally... RUN DMC did it, but PE had me live it. I will never get enough of this video...the commercials, flav, Chuck on the chair.... FRESH!!!

[sirPapp]

in my top 4 videos of all time

[t3rr3nc388]

plus beeper tie is the shyt!!

[violentbuddha]

i LOVE this song but i always hated this video. it chops up an awesome song and makes the words harder to follow.

[t3rr3nc388]

It was a plat form. if you wanna hear the whole song listen to the album. these guys had the game by the balls and a whole lot say

[ilmadsick]

this is a good song P.E. is kicking mad knowledge to the youth. I like that.

[kingsolo112]

Classic Album!!!! N.Y's Finest

[BigStaceDogg]

Man...... where can I get one of those beeper ties!!!

[StoicTwo]

This and shinehead hahaha classic!

-Stosa!
