[Alimantado91]

Public Enemy are great, saw them on the 87 Def Jam tour. Thought the S1Ws were a bit camp even then. Ha ha.

[fraknak]

[visionkingdom]

This is Classic material.

[Prometheus1st]

Radio Rakeem rules all....period.

Love...Hate...newest...latest.­..

Have you ever heard the story of love and hate?

HATE...It was with THIS hand...that Cain, iced his Brother...

LOVE: These five fingers...they go straight to the soul of Man...the RIGHT hand...the hand of LOVE.

The story of life is this; STATIC...one hand is ALWAYS fighting the other hand.

If I love you...I love you...BUT IF I HATE YOU...........

Peace Raheem.

[tmurfet45]

@Prometheus1st Radio Raheem is definitely a legend

[blacklight0304]

[simoninholborn]

Mind blowingly good! i was banging this out as a kid when it came out ... 23 years later with wife and 3 kids in toe i am still banging this classic out "Class is permanant"!!

[badattitude77769]

Weirdo's talkng shit on masonic black and white tile, some christian mason said he said they were good people, I directed him to the old black and white video of 33 degree masons slitting the throat of a goat on top of a pentagram, on top of black and white tile, he never communicated with me again, the top of the pyramid, trickle down theory, what is it like to get pissed on?

[MrJasonhenry7]

Chuck wears new york mets jacket and a pittsburgh pirates hat, he's not about stupid turf shit. he's about the message he is sending out. It's about having fucking knowledge and not ignorance you stupid muther fuckers!

[susquehannadauphin]

@MrJasonhenry7 um, that's a Knicks jacket. Otherwise, 1970-80s NL East 4 life

[hecktertheinspector]

@MrJasonhenry7 Chuck is way to proud to play petty gangsta hit. This was Public Enemy's era, Bar None,Bar all. All the rappers of the time were in awe and openly state so. The bomb squad, sista soljier, the S1Ws. It took a nation of millions to hold them back!

[icatchrye]

Hip hop died the same way rock died: it became safe, self-parodying, and accessible. There are still good rock and hip hop acts out there though. Long live PE.

[Prometheus1st]

@icatchrye dude this music isn't dead. It flung out it's influence into other genre's but never cauterized itself. It's sad that you guys think this form of music is dead. It's not. "Don't believe the hype..."

[decycle1]

@Prometheus1st this song is timeless its the message 

[trillmanifest]

Hip Hop died when it stopped being black culture and started being American culture.

[killyourhead]

@trillmanifest I love super-"white" rap like Sage Francis, but that just might be true or on to something.

[HOMEnHIGH]

@trillmanifest ...niiiice.....like it...

[jwh1999]

This is what I miss about rap, when the DJ was important as much as the MC live cuttin and scratchin, hip hop is dead as a door nail today

[MrDecal]

Thanks Oprah !!!

[MsTROYHARRIS]

@MrDecal peace tracks

[MsTROYHARRIS]

@MsTROYHARRIS Cheers' 'Indys' already off tax' en

[theBIGreekgeek]

i thaught snap! in the album wold power was singing this song!smbd plz explain!

[MsTROYHARRIS]

So today i keep watching them live on stage, too fore-within dew to one, as within becoming my own life's frequent daily experience is now this, now that I would lead through, for this day I live, and too with that leads into tomorrow, one that makes the future experience I am given by the running, this day of this note of this P.E Crew...

[MsTROYHARRIS]

[yentaleh]

3 people believe in the hype

[MsTROYHARRIS]

Na up-on the level, don't you know that's he up on a show ( within A hype... )

[MsTROYHARRIS]

“Don't believe it's only lies, it's dis-sequeled, has o z got this through the 2 just you 'it's”

[Vicky1973able]

1979 - early 80's rap had a valuable message. Then it messed up.

[killyourhead]

@Vicky1973able so this is bad, then?

[dunkindeeznutz]

hip hop got raped by fake faggot mc's

[imPieritO]

Flavor flav are the best

[IGingerBreadMenI]

the crowd are mental, hooligans.........

[jrors93]

Rap was so pure back then. That was still the time, when you were proud to own that new rap CD of your favorite artist that came out. And I don't really care if I'm going to get a lot of flack for saying this.... but the majority of rap that comes out now, is flat out crap. Most of these rappers would have never made it, if they would have came out back then, rapping about the things they do today.

[socratesthecabdriver]

afieromeno se olous tous aektzides!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TrueTalkTV]

LOL @ Chuck wearing a clock, too! Love it!

[hongdekong]

i wish i had their clothes



[columthealmighty]

real issues right here.

Still relevant today. Timeless stuff

[wonwithmypinky]

back in the day when people rapped about real things.. (y)

[MassiveKiller2]

Public Enemy Rulz!

[TrueTalkTV]

@MassiveKiller2 Indeed. That crowd was NOT HYPE enough. PE deserved WAY better than that!

[SeafarFlats]

the flav...flippin shades

true original

[Loadfaster]

THE GREATEST RAP GROUP OF ALL TIME......

[jwh1999]

PE was very brave and took a lot of risks, they said many things that other rappers were afraid to say!!

[teom78]

1980 rap: fight the power

2010 rap: slap the bitch

Call it progress.

[TheScoore]

@teom78 you´re so right....

[mephatboi]

@teom78 more like 1990 than 1980... but point well taken

[speedybrock]

@teom78 slap the bitch is more like 1990

[nevawrong]

@teom78 they were actually slapping bitches in the 1990's as well, NWA, SNOOP DOGG, DR DRE, ICECUBE, TUPAC, BIGGIE, ONYX, GHETTO BOYS, MC EIGHT, & a few more. it just sounded better in the 90's tho, today they sound WACK !!!

[HarriboFTW]

@nevawrong Not all of them, the underground scence is swimming with emcees and musicians that sounds similar to Public Enemy in both lyrics and sounds. Don't believe the hype.

[omfg4000]

@teom78 Power won :)

[JKDspirit]

@teom78 call it downhill..modern music is shit

[emoriarty]

@teom78 I totally agree with you

[kadeem121]

@teom78 word up!

[LithiumTheKid]

@teom78 Word Brother

[kneejerker]

@teom78:

This was dropped in 1988. "Fight the Power" was dropped in 1989/1990. In 1980 it was Rapper's Delight.

[Shukria123]

Other bands can take criticism; why can't public enemy?

[Loadfaster]

@Shukria123 : YOU KIDDIN ME? PUBLIC ENEMY TOOK THE MOST CRITISISM... THIS WAS THE MOST CRITISISED GROUP EVER.

[brincher]

3:10 Epic glasses switching.

[Shukria123]

I'm fan of Public Enemy, but they seem to have this inability to take criticism. Don't Believe The Hype and Letter to the New York Post are examples of this.

Others groups don't write record entire songs complaining about criticism they receive from the press.

[Loadfaster]

@Shukria123 : Did you actually listen to the song? Dude please man, I dont agree with you...

This song is about the blatant double standards... "In the Day time, Radios scared of me. Cause Im mad and Im the enemy. They cant come on and play on PRIME TIME Cause I know the time.......- They play me on the mix LATE AT NIGHT. They know Im livin right so here goes the mic psyche".

Morons who say nothing get on prime time while educated respected rappers are pushed out and dissed in the mainstream

[Loadfaster]

@Shukria123: These songs are about how the media works not about critisism from press...

[ANUPTAH]

@Shukria123 THEY are a problack group with a message designed to promote black awareness. THEY're not rapping just for entertainment. Those other groups your talking about are just artist. 

[ChryslersCrown]

Public Enemy #1

[facupelao]

y el wque diga lo contrario que se vaya hacer culear !
