And Flava Flav is a bigger racist biggot than anything he married Bridget Niesion he's a walking talking nigger contridiction hell even Ice T called him a punk ass nigger at his roast and publicly said to Bridget "look at you bitch you went from Rocky to Bullwinkle"
Flav sold out faster than the I phone, now he's a broke old nigger with nothing but a one hit wonder and a used whore, he was so afraid to make the video that he enlisted the help of the black panthers check the video again.
Fight the power huh? I guess that's just what the guy who shot Martin Luther King thought. Now THAT'S praticing what you preach. On that note, I love this tune.
The Bomb Squad did one remix of a rock band though, Manic Street Preachers out of England. Repeat is the song , and it sounds like a PE song kind of...
what was great/is great about PE is the music wasnt not assmbled in ProTools, it was done with cheap digital samplers (they werent cheap then) and the samples were all hand cut om tape. Also, they had to find them. No sample cds to download and such. Ive had EVERYTHING PE did and each song is amazing to sit down and study. Instruments and riffs and weird sounds will drop in for just 2 measures and then disappear. The Bomb Squad are truly the kings of psychedelic music and they did hiphop!
I THINK "THE POWERS THAT BE" GOT REALLL SCARED WHEN THIS CAME OUT, LOOKING AT ALL THOSE BROTHAS OUT THERE, READY FOR THE NEXT REVOLUTION, SO THE WATTERED DOWN THE HIP HOP INDUSTRY REAL QUICK!WITH ALL THE GANGSTA STEREOTYPES!
When ignoramuses lump all "rap" and hip hop together and trash them, I think of Public Enemy, and specifically this song. Pure brilliance. To me, this is the only true rap and hip hop. Love it. And I'm not black.

@nishy100 Chuck D is an introspective intelligent black man who is too humble to be the center of attention. This is why he brought flav, flav is full of love and he LOVES the attention....... hes the hype man son! Fight the power!
@Sweetiethemane222 Elvis was quoted as saying all that black people can do for him is shine his shoes and buy his records Muthafuck him AND John Wayne !
@orgnice Where's your proof? I've heard that quote many times and after googling it I found nothing proving he said so. I assume it's a myth. You shouldn't come here and say that if you have no idea if it's true or not.
@orgnice Elvis Also bought a complete stranger a brand new Cadillac back in the 50's he had nothing to gain, back then blacks sat in the back of the bus. Oh.. by the way this stranger was a Black Women that was peering through the window as he was picking one for himself. A real racist back then would of asked the salesman to chow her away!
if only hip hop had chosen a path like this, think of the community that would have sprung from it. Instead all that exists is a violence glorifying, material driven culture that continues to spawn the same. At least this sort of message driven hip hop looked to elevate a crisis-ridden black youth above their state. What is currently popular is nothing short of a soft kill on our youth. Stay ignorant, stay down, just buy our records. It is practically eugeneics if you ask me.

While I don't necessarily agree with Chuck D and his views on our fight for civil rights (or at least what he says in the long version of this video about the March On Washington), this song is a legendary jam. It's impossible to sit still with music like this playing. Even if you can't dance like me! :)
@SmileyReeni Yes you have a Black President now...So What?
What has he done for Black People? He sure has forgotten you all down there in Louisiana. The only one that is really fighting for you tooth and nail is Plysush "Bobby" Jindal and he is an Indian brother!
@khj93play What are you doing for your community or any community? The president cannot do everything at once. That why they give him 4 years. This mess took years to build so it will take time to undo damage. We do not live in a microwave society. Now get up from your computer and go make a difference in your community.
@missVeemack I figured tha I would not get an answer so you point the finger at me! Again I ask..? What has Obama done for Black People in the country or the world? Last I heard he was trying to termanate a fine Black Federal employee because he did not know how to deal with the situation.
Little bitch george bush fucked us all with oil.Then his republican buddies try and stop social security for retired and diabled folks.ROCK ON PUBLIC ENEMY.OBAMA IS THE ROOSEVELT OF TODAY AND POOR AMERICA IS READY TO ANSWER HIS CALL.
One of the greatest songs ever i swear! An absolute classic. Public Enemy were HUGE at this time, and the album "It Takes a Nation" was one of the best albums ever. Every song was great. Public Enemy bought a lot to the table, they started a lota shit! Between Public Enemy and Run DMC, id say the two most influential bands ever, they stepped up the game in a big way. And how sweet were the S1Ws ;)
@TheGusto69 my 1st concert was EPMD,Public Enemy and RUN DMC in Toronto in 88 i think.......they all deserve to be in the rock n' roll HOF....especially RUN DMC.
What gets me mad is no one thinks of the struggles jewish people have gone through. Everyone forgets the Holocaust, burned them alive starved them. Before that they were slaves too forced to build pyramids in Egypt and still today get shit
I don't know where you are getting your history from but, that's a bold face lie..
In Ancient Kemet,it was the people of that native land who built those pyramids.Their signature is the hieroglyphs that's written on the inside of them....Jews didn't contribute nothing to this great civilization.....Hotep!!
Think of the irony of American Blacks screaming to "fight the power",yet the current power is what is feeding,clothing,housing and generally keeping them from living in stone age conditions the way they did in Africa before whites bought them from other Africans.(for those educated in the "gubmint skoolz",irony is a humorousor interesting coincidence).
I hate dick wads like you trying to bring up the whole "we brought them here and civilized them" bullshit. We eventually became civilized and gained right, but that was after years of struggle. When we came to America, it was bad to educate us, one faced severe punishment if they educated us. Its not like you kind whites came to Africa and helped to educate us uncivilized stupid blacks. I have no problem with white people or anyone. But stop spewing racist shit idiot.
They purposely tried to keep us uneducated but,they were just as uneducated as well..And still are uneducated..lol...Understand that they stole history by burning up our texts and in doing so,they tried to rewrite their own.But,the truth is they are not natives anywhere on this planet.They are mutants that came from us...I don't hate anyone but, the truth is what sets us free..

It was the Moors who civilized Europeans in the Dark Ages..And if you truly knew your history,you would know that Afrikans(Slaves) were brought here by the Pilgrims on the good ship Jesus.Prior to our captivity,we were civilized and where the ones who taught your greek philosphers in Egypt..In other words,we civilized you so,have respect for your teachers....Caveman!!
The Moors were north African Arabs-not sub-Saharan Africans.
Slaves were purchased with money from other Africans who sold their POW captives for bling to the Europeans-you will never be taught this in public schools.
Comparing Egyptians and all of their wonderful creations to sub-Saharan Africans is like comparing Canadians with Mexicans geographically.
When slaves were bought,they didn't have a written language or use the wheel.
The US bought 6% of African slaves,most went to Brasil(38%)
i like these old skool raps.rappers these days suck, i don't listen to rap that much anymore becouse they bragg too much, i also like rock and pop, i listen to that mostly,but modern lil wayne and them, no.
I heard a very smart black man once say that white is not a color it's a culture. If you can not become part of that culture you are doomed to poverty. He said Micheal Jordan is white because he is part of the culture. It has nothing to do wiht color, but assimilation.
I love all the tea bagging Ron Paul loving jerk-offs trolling this. Hey dick wads, Glenn Beck's cock is someplace else, go suck it off there! And I'm a white dude BTW so save your KKK BS!
what power are they fighting exactly? and what do they hope to accomplish with violence or the threat of violence? what a step backwards. de-evolution. sounds to me they "fought the power" by electing a black president in a non-violent manner (if that is what they wanted) Maybe they just wanted to make some money....
you racist bastard, you must think because they are black they're rapping about violence. There is not one violent lyric in the song. Go back to your sheltered life.
I see you believe in the myth of race. Black and africans are ethnically distinct. Black represents all american who have been screwed by the power that be.
By the way Africa is a continent. War and poverty sells-so that is what gets focused on here. Africa has an ugly history. Look up the connection between Africa & european imperialism.
so your blaming the europeans?I doubt all of the war and poverty was caused by europe...its by the greed of men in power that cause this...and theirs ALOTE of greedy warlords in africa
Not blaming anyone. Those are historical facts that must be considered. I do agree with you about greed in africa. But that was my original point. Black Power is an idea, it is not a statement about race. A white can shout black power and understanding that it simply means "power to the people" - which was the slogan of the Black Panther Party. You tube fred hampton and listen to his brief explanation of black power.
'black' power still is considered by many as power to the blacks only...i just wish their was 'human' power because their is no such thing as race..we are all humans

You're not lying that there were a lot of struggles and incredible hardships on Blacks.
What I'm sick of as a white man is being blamed for the slave trade when in fact it was your brothers who sold you to the Europeans for bling.
Constant tribal wars left a lot of POW's to sell.
Slavery was rotten,but every race has been enslaved at some time.
Are there excellent Blacks?You bet!(I was in the USMC and my DI's were top notch).

It was the Moors who civilized Europeans in the Dark Ages..And if you truly knew your history,you would know that Afrikans(Slaves) were brought here by the Pilgrims on the good ship Jesus.Prior to our captivity,we were civilized and where the ones who taught your greek philosphers in Egypt..In other words,we civilized you so,have respect for your teachers....Caveman!!

The Moors were north African Arabs-not sub-Saharan Africans.
Slaves were purchased with money from other Africans who sold their POW captives for bling to the Europeans-you will never be taught this in public schools.
Comparing Egyptians and all of their wonderful creations to sub-Saharan Africans is like comparing Canadians with Mexicans geographically.
When slaves were bought,they didn't have a written language or use the wheel.
The US bought 6% of African slaves,most went to Brasil(38%)

I heard a very smart black man once say that white is not a color it's a culture. If you can not become part of that culture you are doomed to poverty. He said Micheal Jordan is white because he is part of the culture. It has nothing to do wiht color, but assimilation.

what power are they fighting exactly? and what do they hope to accomplish with violence or the threat of violence? what a step backwards. de-evolution. sounds to me they "fought the power" by electing a black president in a non-violent manner (if that is what they wanted) Maybe they just wanted to make some money....
bomhauer 2 years ago
you racist bastard, you must think because they are black they're rapping about violence. There is not one violent lyric in the song. Go back to your sheltered life.

White Power = Death & Oppression
Black Power= Freedom for all people.
Don't be fooled my white brothers.
The Struggle of black people is the struggle of all who have been screwed.
So if you are white, brown or yello, don't hesitate to say Black Power. When we win you win.

I see you believe in the myth of race. Black and africans are ethnically distinct. Black represents all american who have been screwed by the power that be.

By the way Africa is a continent. War and poverty sells-so that is what gets focused on here. Africa has an ugly history. Look up the connection between Africa & european imperialism.
boomp 2 years ago 3
so your blaming the europeans?I doubt all of the war and poverty was caused by europe...its by the greed of men in power that cause this...and theirs ALOTE of greedy warlords in africa
aWTFproduction 2 years ago
Not blaming anyone. Those are historical facts that must be considered. I do agree with you about greed in africa. But that was my original point. Black Power is an idea, it is not a statement about race. A white can shout black power and understanding that it simply means "power to the people" - which was the slogan of the Black Panther Party. You tube fred hampton and listen to his brief explanation of black power.
boomp 2 years ago
'black' power still is considered by many as power to the blacks only...i just wish their was 'human' power because their is no such thing as race..we are all humans

Good point but America = I Am Race so in America it's about race and our race get's the short end of the stick
