  • AMAZING HOW OVER THE YEARS REASON SEEPS IN FOR THE THINKING MAN. I REMEMBERED THE LYRIC(FIGHT THE POWER).

    THOUGH YOU DON'T AGREE WITH WHAT THE PERSON STOOD FOR,HIS/HER TALENT IS STILL RECOGNIZED.

    ANYWAY,GIMME AH CHECK FOR SOME UNSIGNED POTENCY!!!!

  • 1. If radio1 or the government banned playing music that had gang/drug material or the N word (even if it's bleeped out) on public radio, I doubt I'd see Waka Flocka & Jeezy picketing, theyd start rapping about something else. 2. I think sampling early helps the producer grow I.e. Kanye. Compare his 1st 2 his last 2 & hear the minimal sampling but higher quality beats.

  • @IVIyself tv ok but not in this way....! musicccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccc

  • truer never more spoken, even in hip hop...and yet, the youngins' will still come on here and talk shat about chuck.

  • dope interview!!

  • Chuck always told the truth about EVERYBODY. It didn't matter the race. He always rapped about how Black people are hurting themselves.

  • I went to a talk Chuck had in London few years back in SouthBank. He is really smart and cool as fuck. Public En feuled my hunger for doing Graff back in the day. Now i got a budding t-shirt company...i feel i owe it to the old skool kings. Public Enemy, Mantronix, Just-ice, Fat Boys etc... i gotta salute them mans for forwarding the Hip Hop culture.

  • Chuck never gets old, He's still young mentaly

  • Chuck will always be my favorite artist.

  • One of the most respected people in the game, and for a reason. A personal role model for me, even if I don't agree with him 100%.

    Chuck D would make a great teacher. People in universities would probably appreciate his views and learn from them.

  • this my man right here he's the reason i fell in love with real hip hop in the first place one love chuck D

  • Chuck D may not play guitar but he's still one of the best musicians of all time,

  • He's a good dude. Love Public Enemy.

  • great video, love the point of views presented by this living legend.

  • You can tell a true hip-hop head if they have Chuck as their Top 10 all-time rapper . First met Chuck out in Hempstead L.I., leaving my cousin's house back in '86, saw him again this year out @ D/FW Airport and we chopped it up again , cool-ass cat ! Some of these magazines and young rappers need to give f*ckin props to "The People's Champ" , "The Golden Voice" !

  • @techxdabruiser to bad Chuck D wasn't famous until 1987. So unless you know him personally, you didn't meet him in '86.

  • "when you love hip hop, you love all music"

  • god dammit im look for Living Legends!!! not this shit

  • I LOVE THIS MAN..HE IS A TRUE GENIUS!!!

  • one of the greatest who ever did it and ever will do it an evolutionest and godsend 2 the people not just black people but the world peace!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I want to debate chuck d, dj herk and all the pioneers of hip hop...It's a lie..There lying about hip hop really started.

  • Viva Chuck D!

  • Wish I had had teachers talk this good.

  • Chuck =Legend

  • greetings from sweden mr Chuck!

  • absolute fucking legand!

  • he is one of the best and he and the group public enemy do really send good messages out to the world. they try to make the world a better place by opening your eyes. + how manny good rappers or rap groups do you know that made rapsongs for 22years now. ( they startedin 1987)you should respect that man

  • stfu he is the best mc ever

    germany loves u

  • yeah its just you.

  • Never ever talk about hip-hop again.

  • Fuck you.

  • LMAO! he hesitated talking about Elvis here haha!

    "Elvis was a hero to most but he didn't mean shit to me/the motherfucker was racist, simple and plain/motherfuck him and John Wayne!"

    XD

  • @eboyd32 good point man I do remember that verse in Fight the Power, but I think he's talking about Elvis musically, not of the character of the man himself (Elvis)

  • Fight The Power!

  • Excellent!!!

  • yes indeed! great channel! instant sub^^

  • a to all the kids out there FUCK YOU

  • @vinnydeciutiis lol Im 13 i own Public Enemys CD`S. Fuck YOU.

  • @russskates26 way to go, kid, don't take any shit & always stand up for yourself. i first heard nation of millions when i was 13(in 1989) and i was blown away to the point that i knew this shit was over my head... had to keep studying it, then, BOOM, they drop fear of a black planet.....keep seeking out good, artistic music & never let yourself be programmed by empty-v.... P.E.ace.

  • @jdbankshot Yeah bro, i love that album. Always will its #2 on my list i think.......Peace.

  • millions of people could sum up chuck d with 1 word

    mine is knowledge

  • mine is wisdom

  • his book Fight The Power : Rap, Race & Reality is really full of knowlegde and wisdom from a conscious rap artist,there are few like him in this genre,who practice what he preach

  • 'R&B'='Regan & Bush.'

    LOL!!!

  • Are you seriously arguing about the Beatles and the Stones on a Chuck D post?! Who cares? People like Chuck have far more interesting things to say than a bunch of acid tripping liverpudlians or the stones. Don't get me wrong, the Stones aren't bad and to be honest the Beatles suck (just my taste). But this is supposed to be about Chuck D, not ageing rockers!

  • chuck d and the beatles follow really parallel paths with their music.. rebellion and all... thats your opinion but dont act like you think everyone should agree with you

  • The beatles sucked since the first day they appeared, they were mainstream happy garbage.

    Back then it was bands like The Who (mainstream in the record sales part but much better music and musicians in general), Iron Butterfly, Cream, the doors, uriah heep (though they were high often their lyrics and music were amazing) etc etc...

  • who forever

  • FUEGO !!!

  • BEATLES!!!!

  • no no no. actually its more like WU TANG. lol

  • i wish you would work with me! and help me and my music

  • He's the coolest! I wish I knew half as much about music as him. LEGEND!

  • But before i go i will say "Paint it black" is a better song than any beatle song ever !!!! "I Can`t get no satisfaction" has been voted #1 song by many people and #2 in others so where is the song you talking about rank lmfao!! bye you not gonna change peoples taste in music no mater what you say!!!! good bye

  • Yes- it's always nice to hear a voice of reason and intelligence.

    He's like an island of sanity in an ocean of madness.

    Peace Chuck- Lowlife Festival - Craig UK

  • Peace mistachuck.

  • and Obama was ask who he would pick and with hesitating he said THE ROLLING STONES!!! Yes he chose stones over the mop tops.LOOK IT UP and Clinton chooses stones also!!Beatles are OVERRATED!!!!!!!!!!

  • I agree 100% yes the beatles are overrated and is so not true about the best band in the world!!!!! They are lame!!

  • Thanks and im gonna ignore her/him or what.

    so no need to reply back to me cause i wan`t answer beatle freak. Thanks Ruby2esday

  • I don't care what either of you say. I like both bands and I will leave it at that.

  • Man you got shit for taste in music dude The stones kick the ever living shit out of the beatles, beatles suck ass!BAAAD LMFAO!!!!

    Stones are better

  • Look i know already the mop tops gave the rolling stones ONE Louzy song"I want to be your man" and the stones sing it better than the beatles!! Yeah the Beatles came first from England but it don`t make them better they are so overrated it is just ridiculous.

    now i am no longer discussing this mater on this guys video this video has nothing to do with either band so respect this guy!! Oh i forgot you beatle fans got no respect for no one!!!

  • One big petty argument, give it up.

  • Grow up

  • The rollings stones are one of my top 5 favorite groups. But the beatles are not overrated. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean other people can't so maybe you should grow up.

  • Get over it they not the best band in the world!!hell no

  • I don't care what either of you say. I like both bands and I will leave it at that.

  • OK tahts cool and As for me i meant no offense and i also like some of their songs

  • OK then just leave it alone, what`s the use in the fuss people will like what they think sounds good to them.

  • I agree. Sorry if I offended you.

  • it`a ok im sorry too

  • GREATNESS!

  • I Like some rap but mostly the older rap.

    I Like what ever my heart and soul feels and that`s just how it is i like all kind of music.

    I Bet none of the rapers would want to do a beatles remix but they already have done some stones remix...Do you know why? Cause the Stones are better than the overrated Beatles.

    HA HA!!!! Can you imagine doing a remix of "I want to hold ur hand" or Yellow submarine" No Way!!!! but yeah a stones remix is good

  • Fuck You. The Beatles are definitely not overrated bitch.

  • See my point proven!! You beatle fans start shit everywhere you go!! and yes i do think beatles are overrated BIG TIME So fuck you whore!!

    and shut the fuck up

  • Thats your opinion that the beatles are the best but it`s not true!!! i don`t care who says it`s true it`s not!! That is the meaning of "OVERRATED" When you over rate and look over the bands with better talent! I Think the stones are better wayyyyyyyyyyy better

  • Comment removed

  • goodguyj ..... Don`t watch if you don`t like just leave the video LOLLLL I Bet you are a Beatles fan cause you dam sure are acting like one (Rude as hell) You all pop on Stones videos and insult them same as you doing here! GET A LIFE!!

  • Chuckie don't know art from fart. Sampling is basically stealing, but don't be lazy he says, do it creatively. Try to understand what you are stealing, so you can steal better stuff. What ever happened to Vanilla Ice?

  • stop talking shit, listen to this man, he's wise

  • Good point

    The white owned sports and music and tv and radio industry are makingbillions off us negroos, They pay a few negros millions toplay ball, but they dont give jobs to the millions of negro's who play sports in highschool and colledge,

    So our black kids spend all spare time trying to be pro ballplayer and rapper cause thats being shown to them in media.

    And spending less time doing educational things.

  • rap is not music, rappers cant sing, they just walk on stage an grab their nuts, and call their own mammas bitches and ho's.

    I love rap, but some of it is basically porn and need to be censored like porn, most of the rap played on the radio is making our black women think it's okay to be whores.

    Where are our black leaders? and preachers.

    B.E.T. gives awards to negros who use such foul language, They cant even play their raps while they are recieving award.

    Cmon Chuck D do something.

  • MAN  I FEEL YA

  • Chuck D is right we need to know history of any muzic to know our betta!!!

  • HUH

  • DUUUUDE, Bro, Ugh...BroHam...take a Ritalin homie!!!!!!!

  • you are dumb as fuck.all rap isnt like that everyone just chooses to play that kind of rap.

  • Yes. but it would not matter because you would still voice your racist views. As always have to put someone down to make your self feel better.

  • Wow you're brillant!!! Yes they do! Making baby's j/k!

  • Check our Obama mural speed painting!

    This site ROCKS!

  • They excel in making Maury Pauvich rich.

    Who's you baby daddy biatch!

  • doodoo, DOODOO, GONNA PUT IT ON YOUUUUU....

  • Chucky likes to play it safe. His personal view on censorship does not rock the boat. It does not put his pocketbook at risk. That makes him a cop-out piece of shit. Go fuck yourself chuck. Listen to Richard Pryor. Then go fuck yourself again.

  • did you get it all out?feel better now?get them nuts off your chin...

  • No really. Just say Fucky Chucky.

  • Fuck this site. My comments have to be less than 500 words? Just say Fuck Chuck. And cut the bullshit.

  • Character, not circumstance, makes the person.If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product.

  • chuck still seems real,i think flav fell off, too bad,cause his sonic energy,is needed in these times,... we should all get back intouch and deprogram. do you remember when u saw everyone with love.

  • It's always incredible to listen to legends like Chuck D, KRS or Ice-T. So much knowledge and so much experience in putting their lives on the line for their craft and beliefs.

  • Yeah, well.. it's all a matter of words I guess. And Ice T sucks nearly as bad as rock, so it doesn't really matter.

  • ROCK SUCKS?????

    Man that's not right to say! Rock is great, it's emotional, sensual, frustrated, happy and angry, all at the same time!

    Rock, like other genres of music, is people.

    Think about it.

  • Dude, it's just my opinion, all right? I don't like the sound. Get over it. Oh, and I just noticed that you have "nazi" in your user name, so you can go fuck yourself.

  • Remove the 8, and search for it on youtube PLEASE.

    My name is a tribute to a comedian called Otto Jespersen about a character he made.

    So fuck you =)

  • Wow. I bet you're getting tired of explaining that to everybody, huh? The go fuck yourself stands.

  • Fuck off please, rip on someone that deserves it.

  • uhm...okay

  • What?

  • Public enemy are racists. They detest white people and believe the Nation of Islam are right to want to destroy all white people. These people are excrement.

  • I hope his ego is satisfied by this youtube clip.

  • LOL, i like your videos, thanks much, I have rated ***** STARS

  • Is he did the acapella for "Mr. Fingers - Can You Feel It" or not?

  • What likw your mom!?!? hahhaha loser

  • have u guys seen the black hand? it's an action web series. check it out at my site and tell me what i could do better for episode 2. thx

  • If there is anyone out there who loves Public Enemy and has not heard Nina Simone, i Strongly recommend you to check her out, try Missippippi God Damn for starters.

  • ...save me, somebody save me...

  • Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

  • well why don't you listen to what he has to say at the start. If you have something interesting and worthwhile to say about it why don't you do it? Doesn't mean anybodys gonna listen. I find it highly unlikely that you'd find anything new to say and so you'd only be preaching to the converted - unless your gonna rap about scientology don't reckon many people will have heard one of those before

  • i have already made music yes, and have created a twist from it about things like being thankful and the expression of a sensitive heart, which unless someone has no feelings, will have some sort of response. showing different and other approaches is the beauty of it.

    but why does nobody listen? a question i cannot answer for another.

  • Because as good as your intentions may be, nobody likes being preached to. People have to make up there own mind and on doing so may find things to reinforce their ideas such as your music so you see you can only preach to the converted

  • so in other words, no one likes to change, adapt or grow. i get what your saying. but somehow we have to change, and i'm going to do something about that even if i can only do so through actions.

    if someone doesn't want to be taught, then obviously they think they know everything, have all the answers and need zero improvement. i cannot see that for myself.

  • Aye but can't you see you can't be certain that your any more correct than an atheist, buhdist or muslim (i'm asuming your christian sorry if I'm wrong) so how can you be so sure that your not the one who needs teaching

  • well certainly. i get good out of all that, and all teachings have their place. meditation and prayer works well together and is taught by Jesus in the bible.

    while we can get good out of many things, the bible is number 1 over all of them.

    let me just say that for myself, so i don't want to sound too threatening or degrading toward someone else. but above all else, ive found that prayer is key.

  • Well I'm glad you've found your thing and it makes you happy. Personally I don't believe humans know the answer - we try and rationalise something which is incomprehensible. People will believe in the big bang, or their god but all answers leave a whole lot of unanswered questions and inconsistencies so I think the humblest way to answer the questions of why we're here, where we're going etc etc is to accept that we don't have an answer for everything we just don't know.

  • Jesus junkies commenting on a filthy rapper video? What's wrong wid dis pikchur?

  • who knows when you learn to spell we may be able understand and answer you

  • Okay lewluy. I will avoid the ebonics. The big bang has been explained back to 10 to the minus 43 seconds after it's occurrence. All the laws of physics apply to that time measure. God, as described by the Bible, created whatever in 6 days, and rested on the seventh. I wonder what could have tired God out? Of course we don't know everything, but we do know that the Biblical story of creation is allegorical, and should not be confused with the voluminous factual information we now have.

  • Aye but your not listening I'm not confusing either I'm saying they're both wrong. As you say the bible is allegorical but the big bang will be proved wrong in time thats the beauty of science it evolves and develops. Youre not being scientific by extrapolating beyond what you can measure.

  • lewluy - What data and/or information do you have? Science does evolve and "develop" as you say, but scientific theories are based on that which can be measured. So far, we know beyond any doubt that the universe was extremely small and extremely hot, and then it expanded extremely rapidly to produce the universe we now know. Sounds like a big bang, but of course this is figurative language, because "bangs" don't occur unless there is a molecular medium to transmit vibrations to the ear.

  • I have no data or information that is why I say I believe in the fact that nobody knows. As you say known laws of physics collapse towards t=0 so any statements about what happens in this region of time are based on faith. FAITH IS FLAWED. Therefore the correct answer to where we come from etc etc is that we don't know.

  • well when someone has an ear and wants to hear what i have to say, then i can speak to them.

    but if someone does not, then i won't try to encourage, which i suppose goes back to the note you made on the converted.

    but, nontheless unless someone is willing, all information i will give is useless.

  • A lot of rap was done a positive vibe and I'm down with ,'people's' telling their story - but when others are too dumb to get that point and copy their image and life-style to celebrate ganster life as a life ambition - I'm completely not down with that .

  • nice legends!

  • youtube "Tim Conway's elephant story"...Not funny at all...No, really.

  • Who ever subs to us are the most awesome people in the world!!!

  • thank you

  • A skeleton walks into a bar...He turns to the bartender, and says,"Give me a beer and a mop."

  • its ironic...he listens to Elvis, but in FIGHT THE POWER, he says, "Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant sh*t to me cause he was a racist, thats simple and plain..."

    We all change as we age...and grow up

  • Is this a zoo, aww I see, He is the silver back

  • i love these guys name, it's very ironic no one cares about them they're almost dead and the are almost the complete opposite of a legend. lol its hilarious

  • is there like a hip hop/rap hero comming out??

  • Send ProWrestling0000 a friend invite, he's training to be a pro wrestler, and he needs all the support he can get!-

  • check my vidz -they're funny!!!!

  • Have u seen the black hand??? It's a short film web series i made. Check it out and tell me what u think i could do better. thx

  • NICE

    *****

  • poo

  • GRAZIE PER IL VIDEO

  • Chuck D is the man!

    Whats Good, if you like real original hip hop(its almost non existant in the mainstream now) then click my name and check out some of my tracks! The sound quality is poor, so listen to the lyrics and the message in my music. Ghost..

  • ?????????????

  • Insightful guy.

  • stfu asshole. he's the best you fucker

  • nigger this is cool

  • Real talk rite here! Hip hop nds an overhaul from the top to the bottom! Industry "Moguls" 1st of all need to quit fuckin peeps ova. Signin kats and not givin them all the info needed when signin tht deal. Artsts nd to quit being in such a hurry to ink these deals and pay very close attntn to wat it is they are signin. As far as the music, man alot of the shit being put out that bcome hits are garbage. MCs that can realy spit are bcoming xtinct & tht falls on us as listeners. watch?v=S6dF2zxg08I

  • Chuck D, you are my hero. I understand you are not one for believing in idolizing people, but your ideals and things you speak about really make sense to me.

  • Nevermind all these foolish YouTube haters. They're just jealous of the salient talent and knowledge of Chuck. Chuck is a man who understands Hip-Hop, and IS Hip-Hop, much like KRS-ONE, the teacher.
