Flav's face cracks me up at 00:49. I think hes wicked. Love his appearance, love his moves, love his voice. His hooks have been sampled to death but they still sound great. He's also very funny at 1:09.

One of the things that appealed to me as a kid about PE was the serious message they sent with their music, and yet had an almost circus feel cuz of Flavor Flav. Chuck and Flav seem almost like an odd couple, yet they just meshed well with each other. Great music that should be heard by anyone who appreciates true talent
elvis are kidding BLack Americans have started every piece of music this country has ever known ragtime,the blues ,swing,jazz rock and roll,r and b rap and hip hop get real
Public Enemy know what to rap about - and they do it every well in every song they wrote.
Unfortanately, we have gay rappers like 50 cent, eminem and the list goes on who only know to rap about the shitty life(LOL) they´ve got(yeah right), girls(real hoes in my opinion), cars and money..
Public enemy, keep it real. You are always to be real neighbourhood heroes for me.
New rappers should stop makin crapy songs about money and bitches and cars and bling blings and should listen to this, and think about it, a make some good rap songs like these guys! RESPECT PUBLIC ENEMY, Margem Sul
When I first saw PE back in the 80s they were different than anything i had ever seen. My mom and dad would have never allowed me to listen to this ( i was 7) but i needed to have "It takes a Nation..." album no matter WHAT. I saved up everything i had, and actually went to the music shop and asked a teenager to buy it for me. He looked at me weird but did it. My heart went nuts the whole way home, and I proceeded to wear that album out on my Walkman within 4 months.
their message was against the struggle against the powers of the day. the bigger picture is that the "power" wants to oppress us all. white, black, asian. straight, gay it doesn't matter. we're all fucked unless we do something.
@decapattack cuz dumb doctor dre gave him his lyrics and a nice couple beats and then 50 was rich, dre dres songs were gonna go to eminem but he gave em to 50
cant belive this, elvis racist? wtf this ppl should thanks elvis for introducing black music to the whole world, he always was whit black ppl and black muscicians in the time that black and white ppl was separeted ...this is bulshit, srry for my english i am not english talker
Me too! I'm white and i know the power..Fucking fight it...Dont believe the hype..Skin tone and religion dont rule..Fight the fucking power, go on, fight it.. Irishman who loved living in Harlem..Giddy up! N.Y
Obviously posting a song like this is always going to provoke feelings in some people. The reason I posted this is because it is a very good song. I started playing this in nightclubs when I first started DJ'ing. I am white. What difference does that make. I worked with black DJ's. It is a f*cking good song. There was no racial problems in our club. I have mixed Andy Williams (white) with NWA (black)... It makes no difference so can we all get off our high horses about racism. Thank you.
That is pretty good, but I like Korn and Xzibits version more....and about those racist motherfuckers giving comments to this video they should shut the fuck up. Black peaople do good music and are the same as white people. Noone should be judged for their skin color or religious manners ... I will say it again for the cheap-seats racists, shut the fuck up, and by the way I am white and most of white people think the same Racists should be killed like the motherfucker mennea said to black people
.... are you for real? because i would in no advocate any of the measures you've recommended, however i would have no trouble in any of them happening to you
