[joeylee666]

i was there when this album came out ..not as good as fear of a black planet but still public enemy :)

[benjie414]

most rap is mindless bragging.

public enemy actually had something to say, most of the time. nas too.

ice cube said some good things. but it seemed insincere to me. i think his favorite topics were himself and violence.

[villemoilol]

first time heard this when i was playing a video game in like year 2001? so i was 6 :D been listening to real hip-hop since then.

[Lincolnlogpoo]

LET'S GO RED WINGS!

[Dactuck]

No problems with the poor, Europeans. They share "our" values. No problems with the Indians and South Asians. They share our work ethic. I guess our neighbors from the South only share our history.

[211bill]

Arizona is mad racist.

[Bountykilla82]

@211bill Against who ?? Fuck off whack bitch 602 4 eva!

[211bill]

@Bountykilla82 Ain't nothin' in 602 but steers and queers.

[18tribes]

Now this classic jam proves its still timeless?

First AZ doesnt see MLK days as worthy or official

[Bountykilla82]

@18tribes What about New Hampshire they still dont celebrate it

[MrFusho]

Looks like they finally got there=/

[umusuuk]

@MrFusho I don't think it was exactly the PE crowd behind this one *coughteaparty*

[Obamanomics]

@MrFusho Nah son, more like they didn't get there in time! That's why this shit isn't surprising- Arizona's always been pretty fucked up!

[MrQuijaRICK]

when i went to arizona i thought about this song. long live old school rap

[Blitzprogg]

Fuck the one person that disliked this.

[DesaunJ10]

one dislike what a loner

[McCloud95]

this would curb stomp today's "hip-hop".

[Gito360]

I love the part where it sounds like they are on a roller coaster.

[Stooges1938]

True Brothers from the past. Go Cuck-D!!!!!

[trmpt35]

[hoochbehave]

awesome tune, 1st heard by me on a Tony Hawk game on PS2..........

[iTriedVoodooOnce]

@hoochbehave

Same here!

[Coolbeans91000]

[Alec1319]

@hoochbehave that game was fuckin awesome

[Geovanesouzajesus]

milianos

[DaFrezhPrince]

I wonder if they would get inducted into the rock(metal)hall of fame bc that was their basis of the tone of their music

[EFunkRock]

@DaFrezhPrince PE is eligibile in 2012 for induction into the RRHOF, and they BETTER get in BTW if it's truly a legitimate place of music, but I feel they will. The question is when. I say this only because groups like Kool and The Gang and Sugarhill Gang have YET to receive their induction, and look how long it took Black Sabbath to get inducted.

[ddean1987]

@EFunkRock Personally, they should be like the Sex Pistols and say fuck it. They are more than worthy of the induction but they don't need to be institutionalized in a museum. It would kinda go against what they stand for. They still perform too!

[The1200tech]

I got the promo cd single for sale if anyone is interested.

[nonameavailableuser]

I have a solution. First stop All hate in your mind. Do this on a gradual basis. It will be a tough road. What is at stake to gain or lose by doing this? Would I be wrong to say your own value of yourself?

[yvettefoto]

Some of us had better find a way to live forever cause this Earth ain't giving me shit!

[curtaink]

If I was gonna start a country I'd want Chuck D and Flava Flav to write the national anthem

[italation007]

@curtaink but its flavor flav xd

[Snackbarr100]

When that Jackson 5 sample comes in at 2:48 it's pure genius. Best Hip Hop track ever.

[evildaveprime]

Ain't no school but the Old School when it comes to hip hop.

[dhfountain]

Suckers to the side I know you hate my "98"

[Lucifer986]

the official vid of this has disappeared from youtube

[Jakereisman11111]

thps4.  best song

[thehumanthumb]

[thehumanthumb]

to all my miggers....

[EvilBlitzkriegNICK66]

Great upload,was searching for this track

[savannahblk]

P.E. number one, always will be heard and followed. Thats why they FBI tried to destroy them because of the positive anti-drug, anti-gang, and stay in school messages. NWA was pushed out for a reason, push all this nigger destructive and socially worthless image and attitude for young blacks. BRING BACK PUBLIC ENEMY.!

[mrteko16]

uno de los mejores del rap VERDADERO

[mafufo3ce]

Free Mumia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blanker666]

their best record !!!

[QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

@Beeyatchibus I think it's unfortunate that at some point some used sex and violence to sell without having social responsibility and then that has harmed not only the black community but all of America, and those who promoted that first were not black at all.

Just greedy corporate types. However, music is getting healthier in some ways. We need more music with a message like this. I hope to see it.

[dhfountain]

Hey Chuck. not only do we idolize you,but we certainly are not racist...This is not only your country but mine as well. If I did something wrong It would be a done deal. we have no room for them guy's

[bluenickels]

Great song and more apt today than ever. Apocalypse 91... the last great PE album.

[DOPIncRecords]

PE!!!!

Check out some Political Hip-Hop perfect for these times!

[teedzy3]

There is a Justin Beiber bootleg of this,he nails it

[iacthulu]

@teedzy3 haha

[Joe402]

Arizona is a bad state.

[hamsackbag]

@Joe402 let me fix that for ya, Joe402. "Arizona is a bad-ass state"

arizona has laws against people like you, fuckstain.

[BernardIsReal]

@Joe402 If that's what you think, then you might as well make 6,595,779 people happy by staying out of it. Or even better, you could help convince people to move to your state, because as it is, Arizona is overpopulated with a bunch of losers (like you) who just complain about everything.

[reivenlocke]

Could have done without the Sista Souljah intro. She was never a fit for P.E. anyway as Chuck was dropping knowledge while she was dropping hate.

[IRON5]

This is real gangsta music. The fact shortly after this song dropped. MLK was a state holiday in Arizonia. Now that's power fuck all the trapping bullshit...

[dabooga]

@IRON5 word

[reivenlocke]

@IRON5

If you thing P.E. was "gangsta rap", then you don't know what the genre is. They were hip-hop edutainment. They never talked about running in gangs or committing crimes. They dropped knowledge about American society and the black man's place in it.  Fear of a Black Planet was probably one of the best hip-hop albums ever made.

[snakeeyes33]

@reivenlocke iron5 is simply stating this is gangsta...not to say that it is gangsta rap in comparison to NWA..

[IRON5]

@reivenlocke Fam what are you talking about? When did I ever say they ran in a gang sold drus ect?

[QUINTUSMAXIMUS]

@reivenlocke Public Enemy was political rap and associated with black power and strength, and gangster rap destroys the black man.

[mitchman1911]

M L K

tried to find a way

one

[iTeaze888]

Missing the point peeps music should unite black or white then shit would be really tight.

But reading the comments is like finding good bit torrents, it dont make much sense.

Why these rascists so dense?

[dubl33]

[MILeSsK8101]

[laxboy671]

you've never been to the south?

[MILeSsK8101]

they dont write songs about their racial beliefs

[ShevanelSaeglopur]

@MILeSsK8101

Nor do people in the south really have racial beliefs like that.

[MILeSsK8101]

right but im just sayin some of do

[Hulk2k6]

If It makes you happy, It's edited out in the version used in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4!

[laxboy671]

if god was in a rap group he would call it public enemy

[getguakboy]

This is back when rap was the shit. Damn I miss those days. Chuck D is one of the illest mc's ever. He had the voice, lyrics, microphone command, and a fierce presence that demanded that you listen to him. Notice that I said MC, not

RAPPER. Learn the difference.

[Bigcas4u]

Fuck you JPD4966 YOU BITCH!!!!!!!!

[1all108]

I like mostly rock music but this and harder than you think are really good songs

[OpaEwald]

[JPD4966]

Public enemy aint real hip hop fuck them faggots

[CinemaZebra]

Public Enemy is more real hip-hop than anything from these days.

[ediblecheddar]

@CinemaZebra , Listen to immortal technique

[astaroth333777]

@CinemaZebra you said it...

[RaVENspikyness]

@CinemaZebra 100% true!!

[LUKEWHITTYboii]

@JPD4966 this guy says this aint real hip hop but go on his wall look at his favourites and you will see that how he clearly dont have a clue bout hip hop

[Hubblybubblybear]
