  • this song is a fucking classic but the quality is really bad

  • hey jakrizen2, P.E nowadays? what was the newest track they made, ive not heard anything new for years?

  • My favorite group of all time.

  • It's too bad Public Enemy could never be this good again. It's all autotuned, rap rip-off's nowadays.

  • @JakRizen2

    Times changed a lot

  • Our goal!!!!Indestructable soul!!!!!

  • Went to see these live in Manchester, last train was at 1:15, concert finished at 11:30. it was never a contest, ended up trying to walk 40 miles back on motorway!

    The biggest impact on me music wise, felt 9ft tall when i had their tunes on my walkman, Welcome to the terrodome my fave.........fight the power

  • when Brothas do work it out,stop fightin each other and come TOGETHER we're going to RUN SHIT!!

  • flavor flav was just a junkie.

    chuck d was the man, his lyrics always so very sharp, and terminator x an amazing master of ceremony

  • @TheYannherve

    Flava Flav counts to assholl. Without him no public enemy

  • Fuck yea! damn what happened to hip hop. This tune brings out the Malcom X / Huey Newton in anybody whether they black, Hispanic, white, or green.

  • there in San Fran on aug 19th

  • Funny how chuck was looking forward to 1995 in this song.. Shit, it's 2011 and I'm still twistin' and fistin'.

  • There will never be a sound, consciousness and vibe like PE again. Thankful that their music has been recorded in history!!!!

  • 9 people don't wanna work it out.

  • Undoubtedly in my top 5 favourite tunes of all time. Hard as fu*k!

  • PE will always be in full effect, brothers!!

    YEAH!!

  • PE will be always in full effect, brothers!!

    YEAH!!

  • the greatest hip hop group of all time.their place in history guaranteed. the time is overdue to bring this spirit of hip hop back.

  • absolute genius i see what happened now (

  • Im 14 Nd I love PE!! DONT BELIEVE The HYPE!!!!

  • This song makes me wanna go to war against the REAL enemy ! And if you don´t know who dat is you need to GET IT ON !!!

  • Love the Prince riff they looped from Let's go crazy

  • tune!!!!!!

  • wat a tune!!

  • PE...thank you for helping me to remember not to forget...

  • In other words RAP!

  • "The brother's gonna work it out" is a line from an old TV show. As I remember it, the show was about a black Vietnam Vet with PTSD. He was talked out of an act of violence by a black doctor, who tells police: "The brother's gonna work it out". I don't remember if it was a drama or a comedy/drama. Does anyone remember this? This has been eating at me since I heard the Chemical Brother's version 15 years ago!

  • The BOMB SQUAD! Damn I'm getting old!

  • @erpmarlo13 you gaddam right ... the absolute PINNACLE of Hip Hop production ... long gone are the days where you could use 35 samples in a song and get away with it ...

  • It's a real shame to see Flav get the rep hes gotten recently with his shows and such. It's nice to see him in the public eye, but his portrayal sadly ruins the brilliance of PE's work.

  • @zosodude13 I agree Flav went south with his TV shows, trying to make a buck. he needed Chuck back in the day to keep him focused and grounded. Flav is a great musician and he's funny as hell - I like him in PE - and the "joker" or the "fool" often is the source of wisdom in Shakespeare too, but he slid downhill. Chuck D is a leader of men and Flav needs his guidance. peace.

  • Cop got a mouth like Willem Dafoe.

  • Sick Prince sample courtesy of the BOMB SQUAD. Never been anything like PE and never will be again.

  • @olderthanyou See my reply to Tony Alvarez above - PE is STILL rippin' mics to this very day. I saw them live with X-Clan and Bootsy Collins a few years ago, shook hands with Chuck, Griff, as well as the members of X-Clan after the show. PE's last several albums (check out public enemy dot com) are SLAMMIN!!!!!!! Especially one that Paris (guerrilla funk dot com) produced called, "Rebirth of a Nation", as well as, "How Do You Sell Soul To A Soulless People That Sold Their Soul?". Peace.

  • Freshman year in high school Columbus Ohio! Damn we bumped this joint on the tape deck in the school hallways and drove us all bananas! Public Enemy was some serious NOISE - Loud and in your face! Rap music was amazing...creative... and innovative! I'm just glad I was alive to witness firsthand. Nothing like it - nothing close to it, 98% rap music SUCKS.

  • Str8 up cognitive hiphop dopeness!

  • The Cops sucks They killed my friend a week ago and the funeral was Saturday He diddnt have enough money for a cab ride The cops followed him and he was going to get money to pay the fare he was reaching for his wallet to pay the fare and the cops thought he was getting a gun and shot him FUCK THE POLICE Im so damn mad

  • Run DMC, Beasties, Wu, NWA, and PE....

  • brothers could not work it out if they had a calculator !

  • i am a white girl from Austin, 40 years young, and still love PE!! Everyone can relate to their message!! Rebellious greatness REAL HIP HOP! im also a DJ and look up to Terminator X! and all the badass DJs of the 80s ONE LOVE :)~~~~

  • Saw them last night !!! Utterly brilliant beats !!!

  • i came up on p.e. and the music they made was something that u heard and literally felt ! i dont disrespect the music of today cause all music is made to be heard and felt by a targeted audience - i'm just glad that in that era they targeted a mass of young listeners who had no other way of releasing the frustration that so many of us were and still go thru then and today -p.e. was the voice of a mass of ppl who needed to channel our frustration and restore pride within ourselves !

  • Hank is a fucking genius

  • you think theese thugs now dayz have half the testical to talk about what Chuck D was talking about in the publc enemy era, no way their is a new devil in charge and if you dont talk about killing the black race you dont get a record deal. . .

  • p.e is hard next to n.w.o and decevio

  • thx chuck,flav and x for this true beats of the true rap game.

  • theres nuthin worser then racist cops

  • Comment removed

  • @TheDabalkan Theres nothing worse than pigs in general. all cops are bastards

  • I was there! It was my youngest son that was an innocent bystander killed that night in Va Beach, Va! You would have thought it was another Vietnam War that night!

  • @MetalHeadJimi93 God Bless you and yours, Was the State ever sued behind this?

  • "lemme see ya license"

  • NOSTALGIA.

  • Guitar solo from the end of Lets Go Crazy

  • I'm Welsh. we have no race. we are just wankers.

  • FODA SE OS RACISTAS !!!!

  • LOOOOOOOOOOOOWER LEVEL.

  • never

  • i would kill a cop Reservoir Dogs style if i could. fuck the police.

  • REAL history, not HIStory....

  • We got to stop glorifying stupid shit and start moving forward in our thinking and being. We to busy killing one another and doing dumb shit. America is a unfair and rigged game, but if you educate yourself, leave niggerotry alone and work hard, you can achieve! Get away from your materialism: rims, tennis shoe's and blunts.. Stop being consumers of bullshit and start being advocates for better living and better choices. We buy more bullshit then any race on the face of the earth.

  • @HALFDEAD66 Started investing in yourself and your community. One spark can start a fire that could change a race and a nation! White, ya'll in the same boat. If you don't have a higher education , good job or rich, you are considered a nigger in the eyes of the wealthier white kind. A nigger is not just defined by skin, but social status.. Think about it......

  • PE owns, 3 straight up classic albums in a row

  • you got it

  • ha ha flava flav

  • Great song, horrible upload...

  • This shit is so fuckin dope I feel like I just drank a bunch of coffee. Bomb Squad gets ya hyped!

  • Chuck D - 50 years old now and still musically kickin' ass a billion times harder than those half his age or younger ;D

  • THEY PERFORMED THIS TODAY IN CENTRAL PARK WOW P.E IS STILL THE SHIT

  • Black history is not simple. It certainly has nothing to do with 50 cent confusing things with his self proclaimed usage of the "N" word.

    Bill Cosby didn't mean to offend, he meant to educate.

    I'm white as a snowflake, and I can relate to all struggles.

    Peace.

  • THESE PEOPLE(THE COPS) WERE TOUGHT TO HATE THE BLACK RACE FROM THERE PARENTS HATE BREEDS HATE FUCKING IDIOTS  KARMA IS A BITCH

  • Never again will we see a hip hop group impact us....the way PE did. Thank god I was around to see them.

  • @MrTonyalvarez A-MEN

  • @MrTonyalvarez I couldn't of said it better bro, they straight legends.

  • @MrTonyalvarez Sad but So true MrTon. I was ten when I first saw this and it literally blew my conscious into another world, something I'll forever be grateful for and something I canNOT say about rap today (mainstream-wise).

  • @MrTonyalvarez Hey Tony, PE (Flava Flav notwithstanding) didn't go nowhere - except underground. They are so fed up with all the bullshit that's been passed of as Hip Hop that that's where they stay. I saw PE, X-Clan, and Bootsy Collins live in Covington, KY and shook hands with Chuck, Griff, Bro. J, Paradise the Architect, and Bootsy after the show. Check out the following RECENT PE albums, "How Do You Sell Soul To A Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul???", and "Beats, Rhymes, & Places". Peace

  • one of the hardest joints ever

  • Va Beach, 08/31/1989 Yeah we remember what happenned that night! RIP son!

  • say true brother.

  • I'm white too but i love black ppl...and i hate racism! Fak all those who hate ppl cuz of their color...

  • hear me rap

  • I've been looking for this 4 like 15 years, honestly.... EUREEKA I'VE FOUND IT !

  • Prince-Let's Go Crazy!!!

  • Yah man these guys were feminists!

  • man i loved that album, da best way is to go to them music shops that buy, sell, and carry used c.d.'s or go online and check maybe cd baby or cd universe.

  • hip hop's batman and robin duo..public enemy = hiphop

  • Public Enemy, yeah!!! This is HIPHOP!

    Slopey boy, LIL Wheezin, Justa Beeber OMG! ya'll killed HipHop! You Bastards!

  • i luv dis song. i used 2 play dat album all day wen it dropped. plus my cuzzn in da video, he da one bumpn music wit his homie by da car and da police cum sweat dem. classic shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­11

  • @JHOFFA93 Do you know where I can get a copy of Terminators x Valley of the Jeep Beats, I can't find a copy of it anywhere.

  • @buckeye257

    I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU EVER FIND THAT, you better fucking make a copy and send it to me. Im pretty sure they didnt make it in anything but vinyls and cassettes.

    i dont think your gunna find it anywhere but random Ebay posts or digging in old school bassment crates.

    but seriously good luck,

    alot of people have been looking for awhile

  • This song is solid, sick rhythm and tone. One my top 5 for PE easily

  • "Get involved!!!"

    Chuck used to beat it into our heads;that's what it means to be a 'citizen' in a democracy because to be a citizen is to be radical.

    As the present days reveal,progess doesn't just happen,citizens have to force it.

    Power to the people!!!

  • Tribute to Public Enemy

  • after all these years this song still amps me up like nothing else! Radio Raheem

  • Sarah Palin's worst nightmare

  • Don't get it twisted. Just because a number of you young suburban white kids sit around and listen to the bullshit rap that your parents give you money to buy.. don't think everything's A..OK. There are still a bunch of us conscious blacks who still don't like your ass. PE was rappin about the maltreatment perpetuated by your redneck pecker head grandparents and parents who grew up in the 80's, which wasn't that long ago.  So don't try to act like were all one big fuckin melting pot.

  • Wow.  Way to cooperate. There's an attitude that will change the world for the better.

  • @movinonup2u speaking for myself i dont give a fuck whether you like me or not if its based on the color of my skin you are no diff then those inbred rednecks at the K.K.K. i grew up in S.E. DC and i learned a lot of shit there on those streets.... such as nobody on earth can scream the hateful word NIGGER with more anger and disgust then one black to another .....

  • @movinonup2u now it doesnt matter if you like it or not the melting pot is happining soon you will have no one to blame for your failings but yourself

  • "And I even heard that some of the kids got hurt on the beach. Well that's their own fault."

  • Chuck D said in 1995 you raise your fist to the music. In 1995 was the million man march Chuck D should have been a prophet.

  • @Irockgswift Chuck D is a prophet

  • Blacks really have come a long way since 1990, oh wait they're still junk.

  • @500CaloriesAnHour fuck off racist fag

  • @500CaloriesAnHour say it to a black face bitch

  • That is REAL footage from then...To hell with racists...Really, any color, any age, any creed, any Racist...Either laugh at their stupidity, or just exterminate them through education...Laughing at them and belittling their argument is fun though...Anyway, Public Enemy are the shizznit..They helped me OPEN my MIND!! P. E. ACE...

  • +One of there best!!

  • @FuckingStanz You can't count out 88, the best year in hip hop. So I'd say from 1986-1996.

  • Only 100k Ohh Come On, Public Enemy Is HIP HOP , There Is No Stronger MC Than CHUCK D

  • Nation of millions is undoubtably the best hip hop album of all time. PE had a real message, a positive message: Stay in school, learn your history and stay away from drugs. Not like some other groups i could mention spitting shit about blunts, fortys and bitches, coz that stuff gets old real fast. (and yeah, i know this track is from Fear of a black planet... probably the second best hip hop album of all time... Nuff said... KICK IT CHUCK!!!

  • @Datathief100 are you kidding? school is a joke, just like 911....

  • @Conduit13C

    Small chance a smart brother gonna be a victim of his own circumstance.

  • Fuck the pigs.

  • Saw PE at House of Blues(Hollyfake, Ca) in August of 07. Chuck-D rolled out on stage in 80's gym trunks and a tank-top.. that's f****** awesome.. As always, Chuck and Flava sound the same in person as CD... Sick show..

  • 1989-1996? I think you should start a year before in 1988 which was the greatest year for rap EVER.

    Notable albums being- A Nation of Millions/ Straight Outta Compton/ Great Adventures of Slick Rick/ Strictly Business/ By All Means Necessary/ Long Live The Kane/ Critical Beatdown/ Paid in Full/ Tougher Than Leather!!!!!

  • @greenockaldo A Nation of Millions was the most ground breaking album back then...and still is....unbelieveable dope

  • @chubphucka I gotta agree on that one Don't believe the Hype is an Anthem!

  • @greenockaldo Also add 3 feet High and rising

  • For sure :)

  • Back in the day people didn't have an outlet especially young people, like youtube and facebook. Thus they could not express their idiocracy and lack of knowledge. This is where music came from. Atleast 80's and 90's rap/hip hop.

  • Open your eyes!!!

  • we goin to the beach G...

    YEAH

    this was my favorite tape as a snotnose

  • Awesome. Revolutionary energy; more dangerous than any gangster record.

    I admire these guys(minus Flav) for their integrity. They believed in something besides money.

  • eh.

    its like chuck d will always be chuck d.

    then terminator x opens an ostrich farm and drops off the map.

    im guessing withint a 40 mile radius of that farm its wanging

    and smells very strong mary-juwana

    flav was kinda destined to get paid to do a show with a huge white woman.

    thats generally how things work out

  • Ignorant Cracker*

    Classic tunex

  • Was it in Virginia Beach where this was happening...cops beating black college students doing the greek step shows in 89-90...that inspired this video

  • @FuckingStanz:

    this is not old school. old school is before run dmc etc. but the song is great ;)

  • i disagree.

    the term "old school" origniated in 1980

    30 years later i think old school has moved up and what used to be old school is now ancient

  • hmm i was thinkin it was before the 80s but maybe you have right

    peace

  • love this tune!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • My favorite PE track by far

  • yo..black unity..REAL HIP HOP AT ITS BEST!....BLACK LOVE!

  • ....then re-create 'that world', their hate all over again? kill the mind that creates hatred, division, disunity, envy, bitterness, jealousy and contention. the flesh is innocent.

  • classic!

  • P E IN FULL EFFECT!!!!!!!!!!

  • nothing wrong with that

  • I hope black people don't think all whites are evil and racist. I was a 14 year old white boy when this came out; it was my anthem! While never having suffered from police racism, i have received more than my share of police "agism".

  • th difference being you wont be that age forever

  • @speedwack Your okay in my book whitey!

  • @speedwack well said speedwack i'm white too and i grew up on this shit!

  • @speedwack I'm of Jamaican heritage, born and bred in London, England. no not all of us think that. I've grown up with white and black. I'm 36 and have pals who are white that i've known since childhood. I know there are good and bad in every race. Good cop bad cop too. peace.

  • @jsalmonful Welcome to America...where even your white friends you have had since childhood, still come from racist parents and friendship is only on a certain level of non-discussed relations...Welcome to America where a society still puts direct and indirect limitations on those friendships....Welcome to America where the same "white people" that left England because King James was combining the church and state..then they turn around and used that bible to enslave us......Welcome!!!

  • @jsalmonful Welcome to America...where even your white friends you have had since childhood, still come from racist parents and friendship is only on a certain level of non-discussed relations...Welcome to America where a society still puts direct and indirect limitations on those friendships....Welcome to America where the same "white people" that left England because King James was combining the church and state..then they turn around and used that bible to enslave us......Welcome!!!

  • @thebizresources Hello friends, Look at how my people in Scotland were treated by other white people from England!! That was bad enough but they topped it for minorities. It is unfathomable to me that people can treat others so wickedly and I learned the critical lessons of equality from the Bible. Evil men claimed, and still do claim, to be doing God's work YEAH RIGHT more like Satans work and they get the profits. God always gets the blame. That's also injustice. Take care.

  • That is your reality and only the arrogant or close minded would try to deny the reality of another human being. I get so tired of people popping there empty head out and proclaiming to the word that " all White folk aints bad, I knows one who lent me some money or I have a White girlfriend"! If an Irishman says the English are hell raisers then that is his reality not yours! People like you miss the message

  • @jsalmonful i agree man, why does anyone even give a dam about race? Its so backwards, it shouldn't even be an issue in this day and age

  • @speedwack na there's plenty of black people there with common sense to know not all white are racist,

    i know plenty of cool white boys (most of met through sports) but it's the older white bastards that i have to work with who could really make you feel like all whites are racist pigs, but still i know thats not the case

  • @futurehalloffamer Theres usually more whites in the crowd versus in the beginning of their career.

  • @speedwack Thats cool. Not all white's are foul, just 80%! You just happen to be in that 20%. Republicans and Tea faggers .... I mean baggers are the new KKK. They angry cause they feel threatened. The hate minorities... and boy, don't be Mexican in Arizona! They hate everything that don't look, think or live like them. People think because of Obama, blacks have arrived. News flash, we made history, not progress, its a difference. We don't help our cause with dropping out of school.

  • hahahahahhaahahahahahaha

  • Stay black!

  • when the world ends you think were going to be in abonded supermarkets in search for food and theres going to be walls covered in forum like conversations like youtube comments.

    except it wont be "dope!" and life experiances.

    its giong to be: -"thinking of heading west, heard Red Cross set up a refugee camp"

    -"LOL, Russians landed in Washington so their dead, im staying here no use dying lost"

    -"yeah, lets die in a ball in corner, not die trying. wheres USA spirit?"

    cant wait

  • a lotta peeps miss the point

  • I was at the Virginia beach riots in 89.Everybody started pumpin fight the power in theirs jeeps. it was crazy! This song wa s in response to what happened.

  • I love this track (and I'm white:-)) Love it when Flava chimes in. Tight.

  • lmfao you put it in quotations fool. Everyone knows youre white, you use puncuation and capitilaztion. Little experiment, look down all the comments you can tell. Guy below me put an aposterophe in head's and noddin'. lmfao. below him the guy capatilized the nouns Virginia Beach and Greek Week. its not that other races dont use what we call "proper english" were just the only race whos obssessed with the perfection of what we say. long live white scribes!!
  • Mate, you need to go back to school. Not only do you not use punctuation, you can't spell either. Why are you so proud to be so shit at written english? Don't you want to be taken seriously & get a decent job? You're the fool.
