@blakdog90, I agree Westwood is a bell-end, however if you are going to leverage such a one sided racist 'white boy' comment then you obviously haven't learned from Chucks writings. Less speaking, more listening, dont be a sheep
Public Enemy is an anomaly, here you have a pro-black socially conscience radical self educating black hip hop group who's original mission was to get the word to black people, but when they looked out in the crowds......it was mostly white
And now today 25 years later a group that was once considered too black, too strong biggest fans are white and European.......who would of thunk it.
I've seen PE rock predominantly white crowds touring with Primus.
I've seen PE rock a predominanlty hispanic crowd of East LA kids.
And i've seen PE rock predominantly black crowds,from the Apollo theatre to Africa.
PE had crossover appeal--and unlike today's artists,for all of the right reasons--so naturally they had a ton of white fans(who are typically the main consumers of music products,including concert tickets.)
Brought nation of millions back in 88 when I was 14 (the album that took me away from the kiddie pop crap on the charts). Still sends a shiver down my spine when I listen to it. Amazing!

The Brits were down with Hip-Hop before the American Whites knew what to do with it. Props to Tim Westwood...

Oh you a diehard Wu-Tang fan. Wu Tang is great, I must admit, but not greater than PE; bona fide greatest hip-hop album of all time.
