Public Enemy - Welcome to the Terrordome

[hunkallgood73]

Trying to compare Chuck D to Jay Z is comparing apples & oranges.It accomplishes nothing.Why cant we just enjoy the music without all the petty arguing??? The music is meant to join us not devide us

[goufygoggs]

"The crew to you to push the back to Black

Attack so I sat and japped

Then slapped the Mac."

That's probably the coolest sentence i've ever heard.

[hunkallgood73]

Iron Mike Tysons entrance music after his prison sentence. DOPE

[joynerstephen]

hear tha drumma get wicked......

[digitalrazorbladez]

omg i used to let this tape rock till the tape poped back n the day!

[benjie414]

i thought it was cool how public enemy and professor griff used to be militant.

[theamazingspiderplan]

[NellioStyle]

Born of Rap : Public Enemy.

[jaxjon44]

I love that! This IS what the end of the world should sound like. I bought this tape when it first came out and still listen to it now 20 years later (on CD and mp3 of course now) but damn.. still evokes the same emotion. Signed a 46 yr old white guy

[gschneider37]

@jaxjon44 ...So did George Bush when he owned the Rangers.

[oskamadison]

This is what I imagine the end of the world soundin' like...

[cnykee]

[MrSwerve1966]

told the rab get off the rag!



[xxALLUCINANTExx]

Does anyone know how they created that loud droning guitar sound in the background of the verses? Is it a sample?

[darrick1972]

@xxALLUCINANTExx ask @harryallen

[tmack43]

@xxALLUCINANTExx The entire album was produced by The Bomb Squad. They created that effect in studio. The concept was influenced by Phil Spector's 'Wall of Sound' producing style of the late 60's. As a piece of trivia, 'Welcome to the Terrordome' would cost over 2 million dollars to produce in 2012. SIXTEEN different samples were used in this track!

[discoandherpes]

@tmack43

That's why hip hop struggled for a while. Sampling multiple sounds isn't feasible anymore.

[gschneider37]

History is too young to appreciate Chuck even in 2011. He will get his dues someday when the [rap] world wakes up.

[punkrockyankee]

saltypork3, Absolutely. He is my favorite rapper of all time. The man is bad ass.

[danjsy]

Thrilling rap, opened my mind back in the day.

Boing !

[criticaseelogios1]

UM DIA TUDO VAI TER O DESTINO DO IMPÉRIO ASHANTI. Search for -- bY: Emicida - só isso

Welcome to the Terrodome, guys.

[stOOpid68]

Caught in the race against time

The pit and the pendulum

Check the rhythm and rhymes

While I'm bendin' 'em

Snakes blowin' up the lines I've designed

Tryin' to blind the science I'm sendin' 'em..

[carlitos8938]

esto es rap,lo demas ostias,se me pone la piel d gallina,mi primer disco d rap fue este,no vanilla ice o mc hammer,eso era para maricas,buffffffffffff q grandes...............

[jedocaixao21]

yeah boy base for your face

[patrickthadude]

How can you call Jay Z GOAT when he has never spit anything nearly as dope as Chuck D on this?

[zunez0rz]

@patrickthadude That's questionable. Have you heard show and prove? Still though, Chuck is much more legendary.

[HybridD91]

@patrickthadude I've heard better from Jay Z.

[mysticlion5]

@patrickthadude fuck Jay Z

[discoandherpes]

@patrickthadude

It's crazy that I just came from Jay Z's song Threat to this. I don't know, maybe it's cause I like real hip hop, regardless of who it comes form, but I love PE and Jay Z.

[DJFAMDaniel]

@patrickthadude are you serious? whether public enemy was one of the original rap acts or not. They ain't got shit on jay-z 

[DBRGroup]

@DJFAMDaniel jay-z washes Chuck D's car, twice a week

[D3ADKENNEDY]

@DJFAMDaniel Jay Z brushes his teeth with semen get the fuck outta here

[machiner6]

Thumbs up if Everybody Hates Chris brought you here!

[Paddyllfixit]

"never question what I am, God knows, coz it's comin from the heart", the same feelings n energy that makes this the best hip-hop album ever created. Just Genius.

[LakeRafiD]

@Paddyllfixit

I agree 100% and that was my favorite line from this jam.

[BeCrispy1]

Before Every Football Game.

[habbisaor5]

this song is tight i first heard it in a night club in the phillipine islands overseas, that on my ship the store sold out this album with in one hour P.E. tell the haters to check themselves.

[TheCollector91]

toute mon enfance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! une bombe

[muzikman810]

Listen to 'Divine Sounds - Dollar Bill'

Before P.E.

[STURAY72]

@muzikman810 or Bon Bon Vie by T.S. Monk

[renkar820]

My favorite lines from this bomb:

"First, nothing worse than mother's pain of a son slain in Bensonhurst...can't wait for the state to decide the fate so this jam I dedicate ." "What you do is get your head ready instead of getting physically sweaty...when I get mad I get a pen and pad, give you something you never had!" I always loved how Chuck honored Yusef Hawkins, a young black male just going up to Bensonhurst to look at a car he wanted to buy, his first car if I recall.

[cijay2026]

@earth123ism chuck liddell owned tito ortiz when tito used this for entrance

[benjie414]

i keep waiting for this to suck, like music now does. but, this was before the whole country went insane and turned into middle school girls.

[shazzaman1]

now they joined the hairy krishnas

[jdbankshot]

greatest hip hop, no, wait..... greatest song ever recorded, of any genre.

[theoneandonly713]

still some quiver when i deliver

[theoneandonly713]

pe is mad ill homefries metal attitude with sick beats.it gives me a happy

[chronicavengers]

REFUSE TO LOOSE -use chuck D voice! :)

[felicien0]

20 ans mais toujours une bombe...

[roboshuffle]

Can't believe this track is over 20 years old...

Stills BANGS harder than all the wack shit out now.

[After25]

Classic.  F***IN' Classic!!

[saltypork3]

Chuck D is the most underrated rapper of all time.

[fez2401]

@saltypork3 him AZ and rakim.

[chillemaxmost]

@saltypork3

Cause people are freaking idiots.



[saltypork3]

@chillemaxmost Too busy listening to T-Pain to understand real rap.

[earth123ism]

@saltypork3 chuck d is the best rapper of all time

[briankh2007]

@saltypork3 Underrated, but good at rhyming out the truth!

[lostinbass4]

@saltypork3 underatted? he is number 1!

[gradymorrrowjr37]

@saltypork3 true i'm with u and e 40 as well as 1 of the most underrated rappers

[Royfokker73]

@saltypork3 Having been in High School during PE's day, I couldn't disagree more. You may not hear much about them now but in the day PE was about as big as it got until NWA rolled on the scene and everyone went nuts over gangster rap.

[saltypork3]

@Royfokker73 I am around the same age. I believe that his place in history is underrated even though PE was huge back then.

[Royfokker73]

@saltypork3 I agree with you there.

[BillyKnockout]

@saltypork3 X2 Chuck was comin at you for real.. cats dont know

[mysticlion5]

@saltypork3 word is bond!!!!! you know herd mentality likes garbage like the last poet said it they wanna party and bullshit

[carolinablueforlife]

twenty years later n my head jerks like im first hearin it....i was 17 with the cassette. Thanks tairy for keepin the hip nation strong!

[25f0rrealz22]

fuck all that new school bullshit, old school is where its at

[mrpower328]

I wish I could find the original version. I only got it on cassette tape

[TroyConvers5000]

This would so be my entrance music if i were an MMA fighter.

[holygroove2]

Awwwwwwwww man this sends chills up my spine. I haven't heard this since it came out way back when. When these guys came out w/ a hit, it was a hit in all ways. Very potent. Come on daaayown!!! LOL! Flav is hilarious!

[holygroove2]

Awwwwwwwww man this sends chills up my spine. I haven't heard this since it came out way back when. When these guys came out w/ a hit, it was a hit in all ways. Very potent.

[Jalreal]

Before rap got a bad...rap

[Globalfaction]

Riddim full a culture ya'll........

[KGBSPYZ]

imo The greatest rap jam ever!!

[GSDubz]

This song + Mike Tyson entrance was BADASS

[12quillemall5321]

@GSDubz No joke, The terrordome was a nickname for a Brooklyn Housing Project where Mike Tyson real mother lived, not the adopted one It was a rough project where crime happened everyday I was the housing asst / landlord for several buildings in the 80's. Murder, drugs and mayhem was the terrordome.

[ww62173]

Top Artists of all time. Much respect for all the uploads. Saw them live in Summer of 88 and Summer of 90. Best shows ever. Feel very fortunate.

[macewindu67]

@ww62173 Yes 88 was the Run tour. Saw them with Run, Jazzy Jef and the Fresh Prince and someone else.

[MrWillem1970]

Original HipHop!

Respect!

[lizzi76]

[tommy1001000]

STILL THE SHIT TO THIS DAY !!

[ShadStyles]

THIS IS REAL HIP-HOP!!!!!

[MexicanoINC]

I wish I could find a girl who like rap artists besides Lil Wayne and Eminem. I love good rap music but liking the old school artists is making me a huge outcast.

[TheHumanBallsack]

@MexicanoINC LMAO one day, you will WISH you were still considered an "outcast" because that's what sets u apart from the other 99% of people who are basically stupid as FUCK! I'm called all kinds of shit by sheeple around me, I tell them to their faces to kiss my ass....

[slugworth28]

Let it be said the "New York" of the Old School period of hip hop... is a very different "New York" of today.. this may go someway in explaining the music and in particular rap/hip hop and punk of that era as being somewhat defined and unique and arguably REAL..

[bestcoast1971]

We will never see it kicked like this again.

[Iron4rm]

@bestcoast1971 ...maybe... Search Public Enemy- WELCOME TO THE TERRORDOME (FEAR 2011)

[moungfu]

[HipHopFan1979]

This is real real hip hop, not a bunch od sellouts doing anything for cash. Yours sincerlely, a 14 year old :)

[Metaldog67]

@HipHopFan1979 my dude!!! so true!!!

[beoriginal1000]

i met chuck d at the vh1 hip hop honors and he sat me down and gave me the game.... he taught me some very valuable lessons about the music industry... hes a real catt... thanks chuck ... i met flav too hes the realist dude.. P.E. for life

[MountErrigal]

From a lesson learned in Virginia (Beach) I don't smile in the line of fire I go wildin' But it's on bass and drums even violins Watcha do gitcha head ready Instead of gettin' physically sweaty When I get mad I put it down on a pad Give ya somethin' that cha never had controllin' Fear of high rollin' God bless your soul and keep livin' Never allowed, kickin' it loud Droppin' a bomb Brain game intellectual Vietnam Move as a team Never move alone But Welcome to the Terrordome

[MountErrigal]

Got a hell of a nerve to just criticize Every brother ain't a brother Cause a Black hand Squeezed on Malcom X the man The shootin' of Huey Newton From a hand of a Nigger who pulled the trigger It's weak to speak and blame somebody else When you destroy yourself First nothing's worse than a mother's pain Of a son slain in Bensonhurst Can't wait for the state to decide the fate So this jam I dedicate Places with racist faces Just an example of one of many cases The Greek weekend speech I speak

[MountErrigal]

Lies, scandalizin', basin' Traits of hate who's celebratin' wit satan? I rope a dope the evil with righteous Bobbin' and weavin' and let the good get even C'mon down And welcome to the Terrordome. Caught in the race against time The pit and the pendulum Check the rhythm and rhymes While I'm bendin' 'em Snakes blowin' up the lines of design Tryin' to blind the science I'm snedin' 'em How to fight the power Cannot run and hide But it shouldn't be suicide In a game a fool without the rules

[MountErrigal]

Crucifixion ain't no fiction So called chosen frozen Apology made to who ever pleases Still they got me like Jesus I rather sing, bring, think reminisce 'Bout a brother while I'm in sync Every brother ain't a brother cause a color Just as well could be undercover Backstabbed, grabbed a flag From the back of the lab Told a Rab get off the rag Sad to say I got sold down the river Still some quiver when I deliver Never to say I never know or had a clue Word was heard, plus hard on the boulevard

[MountErrigal]

But the rhymes keep fittin' Respects been givin' how's ya livin' Now I can't protect a pad off defect Check the record An reckon an intentional wreck Played off as some intellect Made the call, took the fall Broke the laws Not my fault they're fallin' off Known as fair square Throughout my years So I growl at the livin' foul Black to the bone my home is your home So welcome to the Terrordome Subordinate terror Kickin' off an era Cold deliverin' pain My 98 was 87 on a record yo So now I go Bronco

[MountErrigal]

As for now I know how to avoid the paranoid Man I've had it up to here Gear I wear got 'em goin' in fear Rhetoric said Read just a bit ago Not quittin' though Signed the hard rhymer Work to keep from gettin' jerked Changin' some ways To way back in the better days Raw metaphysically bold Never followed a code Still dropped a load Never question what I am God knows Cause it's comin' from the heart What I got better get some (Get on up) hustler of culture Snakebitten Been spit in the face

[MountErrigal]

I got so much trouble on my mind I refuse to lose Here's your ticket Hear the drummer get wicked The crew to you to push the back to Black Attack so I sat and japped Then slapped the Mac(Intosh) Now I'm ready to mike it (You know I like it) huh Hear my favoritism roll "Oh" Never be a brother like to go solo Lazer anastasia maze ya Ways to blaze your brain and train ya The way I'm livin', forgiven' What I'm givin' up X on the flex hit me now I don't know about later

[ElectricBlueOil]

@thedarelovesmusic dont forget NWA!

[Metaldog67]

[TheHumanBallsack]

@BushiBato ...and in that video, you had Above The Law, 2pac, MC Ren & Eazy E all in ONE DAMN VIDEO!!! Classic shit!!!!

[BushiBato]

@TheHumanBallsack Cool.Someone who knows what's up!

[Metaldog67]

@thedarelovesmusic bless u young brotha!!!

[hotepk]

@thedarelovesmusic Amazing...judging from the tenor of the commentary, regardless of age group, consensus is revealing that the height of hip hop reached its apex during the period from Sugarhill Gang up until approximately 1995,unfortunately since then something died and now heads young enough to be my grandchildren now are declaring that there was and never will again be any school like the old school,despite the insanity apparently some of us must have been doing something right

[shanttytown]

@thedarelovesmusic WOW ALL OF THAT COMING FROM A 17 YEAR OLD HOLY SHIT.(sarcasm)

Shut the hell up all four of the artists you listed have realeased great hip hop tracks in their prime quit trying to be a poser and going along with the "bring back real hip hopz for reallz homie run dmc ftw!"

17 year olds can gtfo these vids god damn!

[thedarelovesmusic]

@shanttytown wow i wonder what Chuck D would think if he knew that people dissed 17 year olds just for listening to good music

[hanno21664]

hi friend,yes i could not agree wiht you more.old skool then, now and forever! hands down.i grow up in the 80's and 90's, yes i am metal head love metal forever too, but we had real powerful real hard,rap how ever you want to lable it. i am proud to say i saw all the groups and 3rd bass in concert, good memories and will never forget them. i am high school teacher and all my students would agree with you so much they talk so badly about the artists, not one likes any today. take care

[Serenadium64]

@hanno21664 love heavy shit too bro, PE is awesome as well

[04rij04a]

@thedarelovesmusic you want a prize or something

anyone can find out a bunch of old hip-hop names

ps this is coming from a 5 year old

[chet732003]

I still get hype off of this cut. Lyrics r socially conscious---beat is bangin... Damn, a cut that feeds the mind while filling the dance floor... GENIUS!

[hotepk]

I'll never forget it...the year was 1988 and the joint started out "hey yo Chuck they after us,we gonna have to dust them boys off"...every PE joint is about the endless battle we've waged our whole lives against the toxic cancer called the caucasoid...I hate when crackers act like their sorry bitch asses are down...do me a favor and go back to the lame shit like Poison and Motley Crue cracker.
