[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

Everybody please do me a favor. Any MTV, BET, VH1 or News Channels recorded material with Hip Hop on it should be PROTECTED WITH YOUR LIVES!! POINT BLANK.

[psvg4]

chuck D fuckin rulezzzzzzzz

[pef23]

I almost feel like we are a comic book generation laying in the gutter looking up to the sky saying where are you Chuck D? Never before has the world needed you more man.

[pef23]

Chuck D, we need you more then ever man. I can't say how much it would move the world to see you leading a new Fight the Power march. (Love your work - always have)

[Sensarmy300]

Occupy and shut em down!

[KFORREST11]

BTW IF THOSE OF YOU THAT LIKE THIS SHOULD CHECK OUT THE PETE ROCK REMIX ITS CRAZY

[34CATlover]

this was real hip hop. now its all crap about the bitches, the club, money and killing people

[mouldorfmike]

well said.

[Dactuck]

Hold it now..

[ennio997]

RATM must kiss their asses forever...

[McLovinMcNugget]

@ennio997 what are you talking about?

[ennio997]

@McLovinMcNugget if u know a little about pe u should know whats nation of islam. check it. i love them but, as i told, they never draw a line between them and the racist muslims of noi, ever heard from chuck about farrakhan?louis farrakhan?i mean im talking about the black version of kkk or whatever racist crap you can think about it. and, yeh, chuck never say a word about them..its called negligence.

[ennio997]

@McLovinMcNugget "The follower of Farrakhan

Don't tell me that you understand

Until you hear the man" from dont believe the hype

'Cause a brother like me said "Well...

...Frarrakhan's a prophet and I think you ought to listen to

what he can say to you, what you ought to do." from bring the noise

[ennio997]

@McLovinMcNugget

Farrakhan was the keynote speaker at the Newark temple the same day that Malcolm X was assassinated.

[ennio997]

@McLovinMcNugget So I said to the members of the press, 'Why won't you go and look into what we are saying about the threats on Reverend Jackson's life?' Here the Jews don't like Farrakhan and so they call me 'Hitler'. Well that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He wasn't great for me as a Black man but he was a great German and he rose Germany up from the ashes of her defeat by the united force of all of Europe and America after the First World War. [..]

[ennio997]

@McLovinMcNugget [..]Yet Hitler took Germany from the ashes and rose her up and made her the greatest fighting machine of the twentieth century, brothers and sisters, and even though Europe and America had deciphered the code that Hitler was using to speak to his chiefs of staff, they still had trouble defeating Hitler even after knowing his plans in advance. Now I'm not proud of Hitler's evil toward Jewish people, but that's a matter of record. He rose Germany up from nothing.{..}

[DoggyDoggyStyle]

@ennio997 okay man. review ur books... what the fuck are you saying

[ennio997]

@McLovinMcNugget [..]Well, in a sense you could say there is a similarity in that we are rising our people up from nothing, but don't compare me with your wicked killers

louis farrakhan

yeah, would be nice to hear from chuck something about this guy..

[McLovinMcNugget]

@ennio997 uh... ok

[ennio997]

@McLovinMcNugget ehi dude i hope i didnt look aggressive with my sentence, hope i tell ya something to look deeper into. btw

-public enemy number one-

[McLovinMcNugget]

@ennio997 yea i get what you're saying

[ennio997]

i love them but they just should be more critic and open about the fuckin NOI - nation of islam- and put a distance from them.

[xBITCHESxHATExMEx]

@ennio997 The Nation Of Islam have been saving Black men from injustice and the evils of alcoholism and drugs for many, many years. Say what you will about Minister Farrakhan, but the NOI, along with the church, has done more good than bad for America...

[olemew]

50 people shout'em up... WHAAAAAAT

[VeryCleverGaming]

lol I played mafia wars 2 and thought well this is song is quite good :P awsome rap , wish rap was like this in the present day :D

[bigkendallas]

believe it or not boys and girls...

There was a time when rap was not about b*****s, and money.

There were actually messages in the music.

too bad a lot of younger people know nothing about this era of rap.

[gyped]

@bigkendallas there is stuff like this now, you just have to look harder.

[Dactuck]

@bigkendallas Let em' learn. Just like we had to learn, and still learning. The eternal messages of music live beyond our present consciousness. Our present reality. The "younger people" learn from the "older folk". Didn't you? Teach, don't judge.

[12cornelious]

@bigkendallas yes it was!!

[JOHNCONNOR19840]

[1429885enter]

madden 10

[MrTehproworld]

Why doesn't anybody rap about anoything meanfull like this anymore? all the rap now these days are only about partying, hoes, pimping, and how much money and fame they have! WTF

[TheThirdEyeCeesU]

@MrTehproworld The Establishment was nervous and uneasy w/ this kind of Hip Hop music coming from Black artists, so, ironically, they made moves to "Shut 'em Down". The Wall Street protestors are gettin' all of this press, but Chuck D and PE was talkin' about makin' the same kinda moves to hold corporations accountable (to the Black community, at least) 20 years ago. Just think if we had, had this kinda of Spirit in our music, not disrupted & unbroken, to grow with for the past 20 years.

[cray32]

@MrTehproworld Because those who try to rap meaningful things are shut down by the powers that be before they even get popular. Blame our corrupt systeme

[34CATlover]

@MrTehproworld because now the industry is own by satanic ass illuminati rich fat pigs

[vinnys025]

This portion of the song couldn't be more relevant for the times!!

"I like Nike but wait a minute

The neighborhood supports so put some

Money in it

Corporations owe

Dey gotta give up the dough

To da town

or else

We gotta shut 'em down, I SHUT EM DOWWWWNNNN!!!" Try to join Bank Transfer Day of FB and join the movement yall! This stuff gets me amped. Been listening to PE since the 90's!! Loyal fan! Try to help out the cause and spread a positive message. #banktransferday

Hiphop as a tool.

Hiphop at its strongest

The PINNACLE of hiphop.

[daniel7899999]

@M0vingShady The golden era of hip hop. Today's hip hop ain't shit.

[M0vingShady]

@daniel7899999 Agreed but im not sure that todays hiphop would have the same impact. Maybe i just havent heard it yet but i have yet to find an example of 'modern' hiphop to rival most of what was put out around that time....peace.

[KoRnSlipFold]

@daniel7899999 Try Del tha Funkee Homosapien hes the last ray of hope.

[robertly3]

[ciflyer]

[420Mannyman]

[redenstein]

"I like Nike but wait a minute...." I love these lines, power of the consumer. If they don't support our community, then shut 'em down!

[PanterA1984]

awesome track

[NoTime4Hushpuppies]

Where are today's Chuck-D's? Who will be the voice of our time.

1 in 6 people in the country live below the poverity lines and the GOP wants to protect the tax rates of millionaires while the Dems can't unite and do anything of substance...

[ProWrestlingRewind]

"Message" or not, this song simply stinks, and isnt enjoyable to listen to.

[Thedc312]

@ProWrestlingRewind you fucking kidding me?

[Kakaowyzolnierz]

[skbwolverine]

@PublicEnemy1982 Right. I don't even know why it is stilled called MTV. It's mostly reality shows now.

[sunipeacemaker]

[PublicEnemy1982]

@AORCrazy Amen, bro

[awesomecaws]

can anyone tell where i can get this ringtone ??

[xDJblaze757x]

@feargiants Two, it's easy for you to say that the white man 'isn't' bringing you down. Whens the last time you saw a white person hanging from a tree in mobile Alabama or memphis tennessee? You can try to say that racism like that doesn't exist now, but I just got done watching on the news about a couple of white kids going out one night SIMPLY to find a black person and kill them. No thought to human life, no regard to crime. Walk in our shoes before you talk.

[xDJblaze757x]

@feargiants This wasn't the story for everyone (matter of fact, only 10-20 years ago what you just said was a lie.) Ungrateful? Those 'white men' did fight and die, but so did blacks. and so did pretty much every other race. The difference is that the 'colored' weren't even allowed to serve with the 'white men' either. and when they came home, they were still treated with the same racism, stereotypes, and blatant ignorance that they recieved before the war.

[locotesd]

47 people need to get shut down!

[terr8nce22]

he's even nicer in person !

[DivaBabyTX512]

MAAAAAN PE taught me about my history. And made me pay attention. Even as a teenager. Ain't nobody doing that for these kids today. Makes me sad!

[celedornorgalis]

Respect.

I definitely like Public Enemy (and Chuck D) because they actually had something to say.

If you take a look at these newer "artists", it's all about 'money, bling and the bitches' and that's not to my taste

[Aiden057]

Ok, then, so look up "day of rage" for NYC in September and "stop the machine" for October. If not now, when? If you not you, then who?

[rygu79]

Chuck D spit more knowledge in one verse than i've heard from mainstream rap in the past decade. No sarcasm.

[RIPxX2pac]

thumbs up if your white and listen to black music :P

[hemorrhoidprime]

this is the hardest song ever

[DeMarveZ]

public enemy just speak the truth and this song is rap at its finest

[sambam2694]

Man did any black people actually listen to the part after "I like Nike". He spoke the truth we support these company's, and not our own communities. Poor black kids begging their mom for the newest Jordan's is crazy. Cant put food on the table but have the brand new Jordan True Blues.

[djmuchmsuic]

How is has this been here for very close to four years and still not reached 1 million views?

[Zarathustra1919]

@djmuchmsuic people dont value music with meaning anymore

[vipersnake1490]

@djmuchmsuic thats because it only counts my views for some strange reason.

[1bigjess]

@djmuchmsuic this generation cant handle thought provoking hiphop.

[hak8hak8]

old school rap cant be beat

[Bobsacamano1000]

When I'm working out I couple this with Block Rockin Beats by the Chemical Brothers. Makes for an excellent start.

[doireallyneed1]

NOTHING - no rock, no hip-hop, no punk, no indie - NOTHING sounds like PE

[abSOULuteD]

Those that are afraid of the truth, dislike this song

[SIAVEK1]

...and ppl CANT UNDERSTAND WHY WE SAY REAL HIP HOP? PPL CANT UNDERSTAND WHY WE SAY TODAY HIP HOP IS LOST? THIS WAS AN EXAMPLE OF THE SPARKS IN HIP HOP THAT DISPLAYED THAT NOURISHMENT FOR DA YOUNG. COME ON, U CANT FEEL AND TASTE THAT FOOD GOING INSIDE YOUR SOUL? so delicious.
