[dolphinsufi]

One person can't bring the noise.

[killyourhead]

@KiddJetix They're religious people, so they wouldn't agree >; )

[TheInformalstyle]

No Flava Flav?

[killyourhead]

@TheInformalstyle I recall reading on here that he missed his flight.

[Jontenn]

@killyourhead Is it the story when chuck gave out flavas number, and the telephoneline outside flava's house caught fire, cause people called him so much

[UnclePete808]

Griff always seemed to favour green trousers for some reason

[TRB1946]

All hail the mighty Public Enemy. 

[MrMLD72MLD]

@TRB1946 ♥

[soml]

to the other person who said they were at this show - i am pretty sure i was there. i was 18. to those arguing about PE's place in lineage...2nd generation definitely.

[djlaze1972]

now way!!!!

i was actually there for that...,i was only 17 at the time...

wow! memories

thanks

[NoizeGearIch]

Does anyone know why they rapped over their album tracks with the vocals very often instead of using instrumental tracks?

[labrats55]

Traditionally Hip Hop involves a DJ and one or more rappers. Back then a lot of hip hop groups just used to rap over their records when performing live.

I saw Public Enemy a couple of years ago in Sheffield and they were using live drums, guitars and shit loads of other equipment. How times change.

[funkberto]

@labrats55 Yeah my homie

Like Ice-t sez, hip hop born behind the dj..Also the Record companys considerer MAKE A INSTRUMENTAL VYNIL LIKE SOMETHING $PECIAL, (plus over the product). Most of Rap records bring a huge importance to the Drum beat, killing 2 birds with a 1 shot: Pay a homage to the "original funky breaks" (Block party memories) and support to the high volume of the MCs mic rappin live.

[AR15SHOTS2U]

@NoizeGearIch The understanding of the business...keep the track going just in case vocals were destroyed by the soundman, technical diificulties etc... money was made with perfect "presentations" of the artist and the venues.

[tacvbo6]

P.E RULES

[dazmalski]

Aint quite the same without Flav

[mat1873]

def jam records on his jacket

[DjScandal]

I still love these sounds after 20 years. This is what Hip Hop is all about. Public Enemy & Boogie down productions the best rap groups ever. The rappers after the first generation never really understood what it's all about with their crappy gangster shit.

[D3v1L5h4nD]

:P finally! bring back these guys!! fuck 50 cent.

[theCREAPx]

tho i like looptroop, immortal technique, sage francis as well. as far as i know theyre not as old as PE

[Hollow9ine]

@DjScandal Would you consider N.W.A. first generation? Cuz if not, I thought they were amazing anyway. They weren't a social conscious as PE I think, but they were still great.

[nefastom1a1]

yes public enemy is the best hip hop tanks for the video mota77

[jwj31]

i like how PE was all for being black and proud and they seemed like they hated whites yet look at how many white ppl r in the crowd hahahahahha

[parachute]

You should read their lyrics more carefully.

[elviraginster]

hello parachute,

every violence or racism is damned to failure!

Believe it! Earlier or later you will see it!

[jwh1999]

"I'm not a racist,I preach and teach to all,cause some, they never had this"-Chuck D Don't Believe The Hype!!

[elviraginster]

hello jwj31!

racism into every direction is ridicilous and will fall! Remember this!

Your brother from germany

[djfatfingaz11432]

1990

[djfatfingaz11432]

1989

[primegrime2]

back wen mcs respected the fans of hip hop from the uk

[mildseven2006]

No flavor flav? Could he not enter the country?

I remember in Canada Flavor Flav couldn't enter after he was convicted of some crime, so they did the shows without him. That was later than 1990, though.

[killyourhead]

Yeah where is Flav?

[doofferman]

i was there he missed the plane over true

[MikeZectarian]

porque tupac es pajeta

[t8pp3r]

why didnt 2pac ever come 2 london??

[ruggid11]

2pac came down to london with digital underground 1990 he was at the carnival

[t8pp3r]

lol you joka

[ruggid11]

i'm serious, i'm guessing you probably don't know that 2pac started out as a roady for the group digital underground, they toured around the world and london was one of the places they came to, this was before 2pac even started to record his first album or had his first record deal, just a regular guy looking for his big break,trust me i'm a big digital underground fan and a follower of 2pac earlier recordings.

[CDP76]

DAMN!, St. Louis was rockin' harder than London when that song hit.

[thirdshift47]

PE always rock it.
