  • Man still loving this, still relevant if not more so than when it was written

  • LOVE THAT SHIT!!!

  • VAMOS A LUCHAR CONTRA LA POBREZA. ARRIVA LATINO AMERICA LAS COMUNIDADES AFRO LATINAS ... LADINAS, INDIANAS, TODOS VAMOS HASTA LA QUE SE NECESARIO. '' juntos hasta  la victoria''

  • Most people out there are very emotional. And only worry about physical violence against poor blacks. But the real violence against poor blacks is the NEOLIBERAL CAPITALIST SYSTEM OF NO COLLEGES, NO GYMS, NO DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS, NOT EVEN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A SMALL BUSINESS, AND FORCED TO A LIFE OF FOOD, AND EVEN THE BIBLE SAYS MANKIND CANNOT LIVE BY FOOD ALONE. SOCIALISM IS THE REAL SOLUTION FOR ECONOMIC-RACISM THAT FORCES BLACKS TO A LIFE OF FOOD AND NOTHING ELSE !!

  • DO THE IMPOSSIBLE BREAK THE UNBREAKABLE

    ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWWA

    thumbs up if ya get the reference

  • fight the power

    

  • Only thing I'm gonna say , given all the racist comments here (I'm appalled by how many of them there are) is this: IF THE PEOPLE DEPICTED IN THIS VIDEO WERE RUNNING THE COUNTRY , WOULD IT BE A BETTER COUNTRY ??  I DOUBT IT , SERIOUSLY...

  • I'm here because of Dillinger Escape Plan.

  • do the undoable break the unbreakable row row fight the power

  • BIrdman is the greatest rapper of all time. Brrrrrrr!

  • 5:19 to 5:21 this is the best bit

  • @sweding101 Who is that? Tawana Brawley?

  • @wrlord Nah, I'm sure it's Jodie Foster!

  • RIGHT ELVIS WASN'T NOTHING,YALL HAD ELVIS WE HAD JAMES BROWN, PEACEE

  • Black panthers rule. 

  • My only beef is them saying Elvis was a racist. That's bullshit. If that's true, what the hell was he doing in black churches before he became famous? Why did he have black females singing backup in his band in the 1970s? Come on, the hatred of white people is understandable but aim it towards the real racist bastards like David Duke and his ilk.

  • @TwistedSpeech Dont give a fuck, he was only there to steal the black peoples style, FUCK ELVIS R.I.P MY ASS! DOESNT NEED TO R.I.P HE HAD MORE FAME THEN PUBLIC ENEMY BECAUSE HE STOLE BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!! FIGHT THE POWERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ADA33445 You're an idiot and a racist. Come talk to me when you've become civilized and dignified.

  • @TwistedSpeech Elvis was racist, he exploited black culture for his own benefits. Sounds better doesn't it my civilized word-smith!

  • @ADA33445 Yeah, he really exploited black culture because it influenced him. By that logic Ray Charles was a racist because exploited white culture when he did a country music album. With a mindset like that there will always be racial tensions.

  • @TwistedSpeech We invented music and rhythm, end of!

  • @ADA33445 Right, cause us white folks, well we just can't make any music ourselves. Music has no color, it just has soul, which last I checked we all have. Don't be so dense.

  • @TwistedSpeech Black soul....

  • @TwistedSpeech no he exploited it in the way that no one knew of the person that elvis took all of his moves from so everyone thinks elvis was a genius instead of the person he took his style from, thats different than being inspired by him becuase when your inspired by someone you see there style and make your own elvis copied it

  • @TheTrollmastergdog I could say the same thing about Michael Jackson because he didn't invent the moon walk and yet no one really knows who he took it from. Just because you steal moves from someone else doesn't mean you're exploiting them. Exploiting means to use someone else to your financial advantage.

  • @TwistedSpeech thats exactly what elvis did he copied chuck berry got all his moves from him he just didnt do them as well and michel jackson may not have invented it but he did it the best

  • @ADA33445 Does it hut to be that fucking stupid? I would think it would hurt.

  • @wrlord fuck you, can't even spell hurt until the end of the sentence. lmao trying to act smart when your just as dumb. lmfao

  • @ADA33445 Yes, clearly I can't spell "hurt". It couldn't have been a typo or anything. It appears I suddenly had a flash of insight at the end of the sentence and spelled it correctly. Sadly, you clearly have yet to master the English language. Here's a hint, which should take you pretty far: learn the difference between "you're" and "your".

    If you had bothered paying attention in school, you wouldn't be living on welfare now.

  • @wrlord There is no correct English Language, English is a man made structure of communication, recreated from many language linguistics and communication. + I do pay attention, so much that I now feel our education system is a load of crap and is pointless. I don't live in welfare, I am a Under 18s Night Club magazine writer and a music producer for local artists, as well as many other things and I make my money from Writing for the magazine and Making Productions which I sell at £50-500!

  • @TwistedSpeech I think Elvis came to the black church to learn how black people preform their music and style then run with it. Kinda like Nikki taking Litl Kim's style and run with it.

  • @What4ish Maybe so, but what's wrong with that? I love music from the black community. Blues, Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop...it's all pretty much good to me. But does that make me somehow a racist if I take and use music created by a black person and make something of it myself? (Part 1 of 2)

  • @TwistedSpeech (Part 2 of 2) Music is beautiful, no matter who created it. Music is a celebration of life, which is what Elvis and other whites were doing when they started borrowing from blacks. You have to remember things were segregated back then so it was an awe inspiring revelation for white kids to hear something with soul and rhythm back then. I firmly believe with out Rhythm & Blues, Rock N' Roll, and Jazz, life would simply suck without that music making life seem not as bad as it is.

  • @TwistedSpeech i think thats called explotation

  • @TheTrollmastergdog Yeah, it's exploitation because he was influenced by artists who just happened to be black...

  • Hip Hop nowadays is just about the sex, pop that pussy blahblahblah, and money. Damn, I remember when hip hop had more deeper meaning to it. I mean sex and money was still talked about sometimes but there was also love, power, peace, movement, and political views. Those memorable metaphorical, theoretical meanings that made you think and think, "Wow that's amazing. ill never forget where the beat moved you and made you bob your head while the words inspired." Damn, I fucking miss it.

  • @lootee03 not all man

  • @lootee03 You are right. I miss it too.

  • I like the beat. Sounds good to me.

  • greatest rap group of all time and greatest rap song ever

  • Elvis was a hero to most But he never meant, shit to me you see Straight up racist that sucker was Simple and plain Mother fuck him and John Wayne Cause I'm Black and I'm proud I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps Sample a look back you look and find

  • If it's our backwoods way of livin' you're concerned with

    You can leave us alone

    We're about John Wayne, Johnny Cash and John Deere

    Way out here

  • Occupy Wall Streets theme song! One of the best anti establishment songs ever.

  • It's nice to see more of America starting to grasp what the music of the 90s was about. It's time to free the slaves of the WORLD and thereby free ourselves of America's future as well. Wall Street, the Exchange, imports, and the United Nations, with real equality and human rights, is nothing but the advancement of slavery. No one is free as long as even one is oppressed. Time to end religious war and foreign aid too. Invest in America's rebuilding, jobs, and social programs first.

  • I am thinking of Occupy Oakland right now. This song still applies.

  • Fight the power....fight Islamic Jihad

  • @sonickage

  • @ShaytanBozorg must piss you off being under the foot of a BLACK man?

  • @miltonatchet, I think Lt Col West is brilliant, but you just love anyone black. That's why you're a racist too.

  • @ShaytanBozorg you are either stupid or fucking stupid! im not in anyway racist and me not having a problem with black people makes me racist? i didnt say anything about West i was talking about the man who runs your country! your black president. although im sure someone of your culture turns a blind eye. wake up man times have changed.

  • @ShaytanBozorg u actually made me laugh and there is a bit of truth to what you said but in the end white people are the cause of africa problems not africans

  • @ghanabanana, no, the problem with Africa is Africans who take no responsibility for their children, future, countries and spend all their effort blaming others for their problems. watch?v=Sf39waktLVQ

  • @ShaytanBozorg educate yourself western countries delibratly divided up african to prevent us forming a united nation so we couldn't be self sufficent in the end africans rely on aid (loans) with strings attached so africans have to move abroad to the west. Then when an ambitious leader comes along kwame nkrumah,mugabee,gaddaffi the west has to get rid of them. Then there are africans born in the west who have to put up with poverty and discrimation, thing are a bit better but it's still there.

  • @ShaytanBozorg most civil wars natural resoures and now oil wars in africa not just the middle east are usally caused by the west or has some kind of western involvement because they have a piece of stake in africa. If you were educated past your racist mentallity then you would see past the black and white differences and realize that you are just a puppet in this money market you call life. So in others words the bigs boys are in control.

  • @ghanabanana, if you were educated past your minority victim mentality, your tribes wouldn't live in third-world cesspools. Goodbye.

  • @ShaytanBozorg there are many ways i could reply to you so here i go, fuck you you stupid little white boy i hope your whole family gets raped then murdered, and that woman who made you is bitch prostitute like your grandmother.I swear down you white people will defintly go to hell for what you did to a whole black race and by the grace of god the natrual older will be restored with black men and woman dominating the earth once again judgement day is comeing motherfucker. goodbye.

  • Greatest rap song of all time!

  • When people war against each other, it's Satan's "grand design" to piss on the human race. Get it?

  • i got hold of --HOW:.: TO :.:RAP-- with Chuck D in it, breaking everything down

    its a book- best on on hiphop, because all the legends talk about rapping in it and tell u everhything, amazing stuff

  • Satan is behind it all, wake up........

  • @MrNashguitar1

    You're wrong. Bob Saget is behind it all!

  • @MrNashguitar1 are you calling Black people satan, or calling satan black. Any way, its pretty racist 

  • @MrNashguitar1 Satan is a character from a book read to u as a child to make u behave better, wake up..........

  • YOU GOTTA FIGHT DA POWA!

  • FYI- Black people aren't the ones who messed up the deficit... sorry the republicans did that, & i don't know a single black person that's republican. If you still dropping the n-bomb that means mandingo has visited your lady, sister, cousin, & probably your moms too. Blacks contributions the this country are endless & impeccable. & we will continue to make progress. Don't forget it started with us & it will end with us...

  • @jneuss There are black republicans.

  • @daguangrong You seem as if whites are some higher being. You say whites let blacks do this and that even though we live in land not created by no man but god. In order to treat it as your own is down right disrespectful to all colors. PEACE OUT!

  • @daguangrong

    If you were a representative example of white people, hell yes; I could never be w/ anyone w/ a 2-digit IQ.

    Fortunately, you’re not, so my options aren’t limited that way.

    Most Americans (all ethnicities) have hugely reduced our individual & societal racism.

    Course it's not all gone yet (probably never will be) - but it’s going, & fast.

    You're one of the last of the dinosaurs; your kind are already past the tipping point of extinction, you’re just too stupid to realize it.

  • @daguangrong

    If you're supposed to be an argument that whites are intellectually and/or morally superior to people of color in general and/or black people in particular, I'm afraid you're not doing a very good job of it.

    You're pretty much proving the opposite, single-handedly.

    I guess that's good; everyone should have a purpose in life.

    It would seem that's yours.

  • And the Tea Party collectively pisses their pants in 10, 9, 8...

    oh, already?

    So fast!

    They don't have a lot of what you call self-control...

  • @daguangrong 1. you say the first thing as if it is a positive 2. I swear Lincoln said something about ideally ending the war without ending slavery (maybe I read too much?) 2. right...so when segregation went ended people magically started treating everyone well? Is this world where Unicorns come from? 3. Wow. Read a book 4. you aren't acknowledging the underlying economic issues of our society which cultivate a culture of discrimination...read more.

    Sincerely,

    Educated Peoples of the World

  • 96 aint fightin the power. and stepped on buggin out's fresh-ass J's

  • Fuck tha police!

  • rap was a statment a new sound to unite a people there was a message now its just fools rapping about how much dow they have and whot they want

  • "The 63 nonsense" really nonsense if it wasn't your parents generation Chuck D your black ass wouldn't be able to have a hit song album and publicity you ungrateful smarty art piece of shit.

    Now this clowns goes across the nation talking to college campuses getting paid with speaking fees by the "man and the power" bottom rail is now on top right Chuck D?

    Straight up racist that sucker was

    Simple and plain

    Mother---- him and John Wayne!!!"

    Flava Krazieee! ROTFL!!!

    RIP True Hip Hop!

  • 96 viewers don't care about black people.

  • Flav was comic relief for the group but totally cooned out on VH1. Chuck D still does radio broadcasts and continues speaking the same agenda he always has. Professor Griff is a huge anti-Illuminati speaker and has had several attempts on his life for saying the things he says. Griff claims his day are numbered. Terminator X has a Llama farm (last I heard), and who knows what happened to the S1Ws. Public Enemy was banned from MTV. We need more groups like them.

  • this should be used for the ppl who were struggling in the holocaust

  • what other movie was this song used in? i know House used it but i know some other movie used it (beside do the right thing)

  • 2:20 Will.I.Am?

  • @cruisinwithmojo Ha! I just noticed that. Will's drunk uncle, maybe.

  • 2:18 HOLY PEAS ITS WILL I AM

  • I always think of radio raheem from "Do The RIght Thing" whenever I listen to this song. lol

  • love this song BUT dislike the comment about 1963 being nonsense...that's just downright disrespectful to the people that paved the way for your ass.

  • its so funny reading my previous comment...its true talk but i just cant believe i wrote that though!..lol...i do think that there is a 'way' and a 'smart way' to fight also!...buti remember the first time i saw and heard this song...i was like 'right on'!!!!..and im 'white'!!...but i 'felt' this way too!...i just think right is right and wrong is wrong no matter who you are and i remember back when i felt this way too!...just so much injustice toward the black race in general..and so many ..

  • white people acted like it wasnt happening!...so yes how can you not understand or appreciate the 'attitude' if you will and the 'angry' undertones?!...i was angry about it too!...and yet while i loved "Public Enemy"...and i dont think they were that 'mean' really only speaking 'truth'...in a 'radical' way...but to me?....it was 'inspiring' ...but as we all know anyone can take anything to the extreme ..i say yes Fight the Power...with this same passion...but be also 'smart' about it...MLK ! jmo

  • #1 Hip-Hop song of ALL TIME in my book!!!

    PEACE

  • What exactly did Chuck D's "movement" achieve??? Besides of course selling records and making money for Chuck D.

    Seems like "that march in 1963" got a helluva lot more accomplished...

  • WHY DID BLACK PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED???..ARE I SERIOUS???....I FEEL THE SAME WAY!.....IN A WAY BUT ...THERE IS A WAY! ...TO...... "FIGHT THE POWERS THAT BE!"...and all of us God Father...showed us 'how' to 'fight the powers that be'!...and it does work!!!...dont stone me for being a 'dreaming' person?...dreamers are what makes it all HAPPEN!..... AMEN!

  • Medgar Evars, Malcolm X, MLK....and then there was Chuck D!!

  • "They come united in one cause: to urge Congress to pass a Civil Rights bill to end forever the blight of racial inequity," says the announcer with the propagandistic voice.

    Well, while it was a start, I hate to tell you that no bill is going to cure anything like that in a snap of the fingers. And while the Powers That Be have everyone distracted and tangled up in this issue, they're busy behind the scenes figuring out all other kinds of ways to control our lives.
