this is my generation of music, hip hop was ours, but we let it become commercialized, once it became commercialized by the "mainstream" industry it became violent and shallow.......now they say rap is violent but that's not the true nature nor the roots of hip hop.
Public Enemy represents the true essence of hip hop.
now my question is?.....who really is responsible for making hip hop violent.
I remember back in the day when i bought this record.....it was like a paradigm shift in hip hop, never heard anything like it before but it blow my mind.
now i get why its called cant do nuttin bacause they cant do nuttin THIS SUCKS i thought it was going to be better than this i shouldnt have even cliked on this video now i mad as shit CTFUU
i never knew this song had a video but when this song came out we didn't have BET, after all MTV would never play this and VH1 was still mainly adult contemporary and classics.
my youngest memory of watching music videos is seeing some guy in a red jump suit with a clock around his chest. over the years i knew it was flava flav but 20 years later i finally see it again, didnt know there was a video for this.
I CANT DO NUNTIN FOR YA MAN...U JUMPED OUT OF A JELLY INTO A JAM!!LOL.....LYRICAL GENIUS....PUBLIC ENEMY WILL ALWAYS BE ONE OF DA GREATEST HIP HOP GROUPS
ive read this incredible hip-hop book which was published recently, it has interviiews with Public Enemy's Chuck-D, as well as-Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde,, Brand Nubian, Big.Daddy.Kane, Kool G.Rap, Masta Ace, allll the emceeing legends
@Rorschach65 It's so ironic too...if you know the Bioshock(based on Ayn Rands material) games...Flav looks and acts like every single splicer rolled into one LOL!
Flavor Flav seems to be the symbolic embodiment of the insanity with which the world has to deal with. The large clock around his neck and in public enemy's videos is a recurring theme which is yelling at the american public to "wake up!" or in other instances, that time is running out. The fact that alot of their music is politically oriented can be used to back this statement.
@xPrisonOfTheMindx You might have a point. Think really, though, that the point of Flavor Flav in Public Enemy is as the id, in balance with Chuck D's role as the ego. The id, Flavor Flav=unbridled freedom. Chuck D=the ego; striving for unbridled freedom but realising that it would come with a cost; hence, the didactism and caution. Perhaps, i'm overanalysing. Don't think i am though; just referring to one of the reasons why Public Enemy are one of the greatest groups ever.
@hautelick I once read an interesting analysis of the Chuck/Flav dynamic.. Chuck represents what White America doesn't want to see from a Black man.. Flav represents what they're comfortable with, how they see us or how they want to see us.
@hakimgreen7 That kinda makes sense, alright. And it would give greater leverage to the idea of the clock being a direct statement and scope to interpret it as such. Only problem i'd have with that is that, if it was meant that way, it limits Flavor Flav to a role i don't think he can be confined to or understood by and doesn't take into account the extent to which William Drayton might actually be Flavor Flav. Anyway, i doubt they meant the dynamic as something that analysis could make concrete
I love this damn song man. I was around 6 years old when it was released and at least 7 years old when I saw the movie House Party with that song playing in one of the dancing scenes.
got cha runnin from a gun and a brain that weighs a ton-Flav...runnin from a gun, and some brain that weighs a ton. you know i did that line for flava flav-new song, sublime
Flav is probably smarter than 99% of you haters. Public Enemy always comes with a message, one of the more serious minded groups in the business. Flav was around from the start in 1982, almost 30 years ago. Since then, PE has gone on to become one of the most respected rap groups in the world, respected by everyone. 20 years removed from his prime, Flav managed to get himself back on the public stage with his VH-1 shows. Keep hating if you don't realize his ability as a showman. Ignorance FTW.
@botch13 it sounds like you have a very profound respect for flavor flav....LOL he's like our generations crack head version of mozart apparently. get a grip bro he was a figure, a prop on a stage. stop trying to make flav something he's not, he's a hype guy!
Only thing retarded that I see is people not knowing Flav is "acting" and was the humor aspect of the group. Do a little research and see Flav is by design. Chuck delivers the message and Flav co authors the message with humor added in.
Drop that shit homie,ya on welfare...ya muthaz got no nipples..you got a rip in ya couch..wash your butt haaa kkka kkkka kccaaaa..fookin love flav,he was out for more than just the money,he also brought fun to the people..classic funny guy !!
flava flav is the most entertaining character in hiphop culture! he is a symbol with his watches, man! long live for PE! and we want another concert here in Bulgaria! come on, you got to give it up! hiphop love!
