[ruggid11]

I WAS 5 YEARS OLD WHEN PUBLIC ENEMY CAME OUT, BUT MY OLDER BROTHER AND COUSIN USE TO BANG THE HELL OUT OF THIS RIDDIM, NOW I'M 27 BANGING THE HELL OUTTA THIS SHIT

[Gunnercv]

[KoolGRapLDN]

This is how music suppose to be. I like that noise I am hearing over and over. The scratch/whistle or something.

[bripell62]

they did ....HOW;: TO:; RAP... with Chuck D

dropping science in it

its a book, where

the grandmasters of MCing came

together to protect-the art, ill

book, for real

[whycantihavemyownuse]

The whole video is the bomb

[cardood7516]

I remember buying this cassette back in 1990....and listened to it for the next three weeks non-stop until the tape broke...and paid another $13 for another one (unheard of at the time)...RWAP was and is in the top three of my all time greatest hip hop songs...it still makes me wanna tear off my shirt and throw up my fist! That screaching loop has to be the Devil screaming in reverse...nevermind the beat...FILTHY.

[lloyde150573]

god they was shit live....total crap

[SuperOmnicron]

@lloyde150573 ..you didnt see them live...unbelievable energy....i think they had a near riot following the video for Bring the Noise (Anthrax version).... i saw it all...body surfing, stage dives , all kinda sh!t

[123djblive]

I'm so funkin angry damn!!!!

[telemanque]

rocked this infinite 1987...Rocky Mount NC

[ebantiass11]

For me the best rapand trueset hard hitting rap song ever. Remember going crazy at the wag club in London back in the day to this killa cut. The song seemed to go on for fifteen minutes or so, but it was a life changing experience and something I will always remember the rest of my life. Truely brilliant music.

[joeloversmooth]

TRUE TO LIFE HIP HOP .. NO ONE ON EARTH CAN DO SHIT LIKE THIS. RESPECT TO OLD SCHOOL HIP HOP. THERE SHOULD BE A CLUB JUST FOR THIS MUSIC . IM BORN IN EAST HARLEM NY WHERE WE LOVES THEM

"Who gives a fuck about a goddamed grammy?"

the same ppl who sit around waiting for the next episode of American Idol....

PE's in the house....

[morecowbell69]

@KiddJetix - I can't remember too many of the acts. I went to Def Jam '87 and '88.

Between those two years, I remember Erik B & Rakim, Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince (yep, when Will smith was a teenaged rapper) and LL Cool J. Public Enemy was there both years.

[jwh1999]

12 Lil Wayne fans watched this video!

[gjeetkunedo]

THE GREATEST HIP HOP SONG EVER!!! FUCK THAT NEW SHIT!!!

[MrFrodiggs]

all time classic

[Missladypac1]

[PublicEnemyForever]

Should be 300000000 views, not 300000 Common ppl!!!

[AnansieDeSpider]

Read this wikipedia reference about the PE:

Terminator X's innovative scratching tricks can be heard on the song "Rebel Without a Pause," and "Shut Em Down". The Bomb Squad offered up a web of innovative samples and beats. Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine declared that PE "brought in elements of free jazz, hard funk, even musique concrète, via [its] producing team the Bomb Squad, creating a dense, ferocious sound unlike anything that came before. - Wikipedia

[AR15SHOTS2U]

Sorry you guys ..but if you were not at Nassau Coli back in the day at the RUNDMC tour you REALLY MISSED OUT!!!!

[curiel108jr]

one of the best new school jams ever!!!

[morecowbell69]

My first concert was Def Jam '88, and PE was headlining.

I must have had more balls, or less brains at the time. I was one out-of-place white kid.

[MegaDan1310]

@morecowbell69 I was there to.This is the concert that LL came out the radio.Rakim killed it this night to.

[myaccountsdisabled]

@morecowbell69 LOL what you think you was gonna get beat up or something? It has nothing to do with having balls or lack of brain cells but all to do with coming together as one & enjoying one hell of a hiphop group.

[GlowaMightyVibes]

@morecowbell69

Well... No. They were off the hook and conquered the crowd, but they were supporting act in Def Jam Tour. LL Cool J was the main headliner.

[FuckUtube4Life2010]

@morecowbell69 as a white kid, did u ever find any of their lyrics to be offensive?

[SuperOmnicron]

@morecowbell69 ...not a problem, Beastie Boys were on that same tour and PE had to go to England on perform at the Fresh Fest ...in front of a lot more white people than black...to this day they tend to get a lot of the white audience...

[ednoroirika]

@morecowbell69 you wasn't by yourself there where always plenty of white people rocking to PE!

[ricorob100]

@morecowbell69 Not really just shows you were a color blind kid and thats a good thing we need more of that in this day.

[airassault11]

Probably my favorite PE song. Anybody, and I mean anybody would love how hard the beats to this song are!! Chuck D probably has the best voice in rap history!!

[rafikx]

nice bass :)

[oldschoolhunter]

all them DEF JAM shows was LIVE as HELL. FRESH.

[mauricetaylorII]

@oldschoolhunter ABSOLUTELY!!! They used to come to Detroit and shut down Joe Louis Arena! This is probably the 2nd best live hip-hop performance EVER! Right behind RunDMC performance of "It's Like That" from Krushgroove! Pure hip-hop! Just incredible how they flowed from Rebel to Terminator X to the edge of panic (3:29) FLAWLESSLY!!! I don't understand how todays hip-hop performances have gone straight to shit!

[AnansieDeSpider]

@mauricetaylorII SEAMLESS..many people think Terminator x sample is the reverse of Rebel sample.

[Trowerblues]

One of the best from their second album.

[adon78]

I STILL KNOW THE LYRICS, VERBATUM, YO!

[FlowerFlo1983]

Nice clock there, yo!

[jwh1999]

Chuck D is the Michael Jordan of rap, he was a beast on the mic!!

[Smiks84]

@jwh1999 Correction! He still is :)

[jwh1999]

@Smiks84 You got that right, Chuck don't even realize how good he is!! lol

[tigershark50]

I remember going to see them @ Brixton Academy in 89 BAD BAD BAD...people used to go mad @ this song

[pontiaclives]

I grew up with PE in high school , what memories !!!!!! Still rocks HARD AS EVER !!!!!!!

[Probesford]

Hey anyone know that remix where Chuck D was rapping "Mind over Matter"?

What track was that?

[lettaa]

@Probesford it was Right Starter ( Message to the Black Man) yo bum rush the show album

[Probesford]

@lettaa Finally found it! Thanks! takes me back...

[HCadrenaline]

I've now decided, This is officially my signature song

[RetardedPeopleLegion]

anyone notice the beat is being played backwords?

[0011philboy]

Run Dmc, N.W.A, Public Enemy......The Best!!

[flipskater032]

@0011philboy wu tang clan!!!

[MyWordizBond]

radio suckas never play me..

[VoodooUprising]

super dope!

[gtagamemaniac]

nation of millions+fear of a black planet=0% radio play

nation of millions+fear of a black planet=7 millions sold

[Suburbannite]

"I am Drake, I love rap. Um, who iz Public Enemy?"

[thirdshift47]

"Supporter of Chesimard!!!"

This was years before heads had even heard of Tupac,Chuck was celebrating his exiled aunt.

[ProphetMookie]

CHECK it out watch?v=IpH8HKWRXt8

[scrapplecheesesteak]

My first concert - May 1988 at The Spectrum in Philly. Run DMC with Public Enemy, Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince with Special guest EU (28 min version of "DA Butt" haha) Unreal!

[blossomingbeauty]

@scrapplecheesesteak I'm from Philly. Saw Public Enemy at the Spectrum too, but a few years later.

[95KN]

We need to bring back this kind of hip hop. NOW!

[scrapplecheesesteak]

@95KN You are not kidding!

[Moor4u]

I remember when I first heard this I said WTF. Nothing like it before then, and really nothing like it after. Hip Hop has changed. I'm not saying that it's worse but it lacks a personality. We're in the worst recession of all time, crime is at an all time high, the world is changing, and they're rapping about Peanut butter and Jelly? WTF

[MrSY187]

thank nice my men ;-)

[qarsiq]

This ish is LOUDER THAN A BOMB!

[mattcribbin]

Now compare this to a 50 cent rap show. haha.

[muke187]

wow 1:25 a gucci terminator x jacket.... i just love hip hop fashion

[01tnql]

Yeah Boyeeee!!!!

[CartesianBandUK]

Shit is PUMPIN.

[frownytown]

HARDEST SHIT EVER!

[7TheNothing7]

T.O.N.!!!!!!!

ThnX

[tojiroh]

Aw man it's cut at the end :P

[jase002002]

How can anyone NOT love this?!!!!!!

[TheNaomiengland]

bob dole spokes person for ed

[RAllyDatob210]

thats so weird! all those people just went on movies streamer or something to? its almost as if they all know each other! thats just to crazy. i love watching all these p.e. vids elsewhere when i can see them here for free and without viruses spam and identity theft.... fuck you spamming robots.

[LHB73]

Probably the best rap cut of all time

[sparkstron73]

@LHB73 Fuck the radio kinky sod:),bad ass tune still hard

[carolinian2008]

@LHB73 Eric B and rakim's paid in full is raw lyrical genius mixed with probably the most bited beat of all time. I have them first but this is a close second.

[iartis]

@LHB73 Preach

[SuperOmnicron]

@LHB73 ..the very essence of Public Enemy...many think it was Fight the Power, but I think it was this song....

[CaramelLitegloss]

Classic tune

[voodoosman4ever]

I can never grow tired of this track. I remember in 1988 Rub DMC Raising Hell Tour 15000 in the arena all bounced the second the beat dropped and Chuck sang "YES! THE RHYTHM'S THE REBEL". what great memories.

[cashscholar]

Raising Hell Tour. Hahaha, that was a hell of a tour. I remember my sister taking me to that concert at age 14. RUN DMC, PE, Beastie Boys, EPMD and Will Smith or Fresh Prince. S1W's had me buggin out because I had never seen a unit on stage like that before.

[cannibalonXthedead]

i think the only thing this crazy ive seen was rage against the nachine from T In The Park 1994

[ColdGripHandle]

Most of their song got NO radio play they sold 4 million albums in 30 days underground

The underground made hip hop when the radio refuse to play it But now sense nigga like Pdiddy and Master P sold out the radio is controlling and dictating the game.

Fuck the radio

[whatthehellvideos]

@ColdGripHandle i agree but in the begging b4 big died diddy was actually cool

[Kieku66]

@ColdGripHandle I listen to the radio for about 3 months before I relize what I was listening too. I haven't listend to the radio in 12 years

[LibraClassic]

@ColdGripHandle :

I remember these cats used to come through and do live ass shows like this at the local rec centers and shit. They had to come back like three times so everybody could see em... Biz Markie, Kane, Shante, all of them used to burn up our clubs...the game done changed, right?

[tigerwoman]

@ColdGripHandle Youtube is the radio.

[Indicastixx]

Chuck D was the mufuckin TRUTH, joe. Truly HIP-HOP's Prophet of Rage. Besides DMC, Chuck had the dopest voice in the rap game.

The hard rhymer/ Where you never been I'm in

[yojamprod]

totally insane

[sda1225]

CHUCK D: BLACK PROPHET

[oldirtdog]

saw em back in the day in chi town with anthrax at the aragon brawl room!!!

me and my homeboy were probably the only ones there to see BOTH bands. and, we thought for sure some drama was gonna click off after the show but to our surprise nothing happened, in fact i bet alot of people became fans of both after the show.

ice-t said it best "sometimes i bump hip-hop the other times slayer"

[mcelestine]

pe and anthrax is by no means back in the day!

[mriceman4u]

i saw them when i was a kid with kid n play and ice cube a digital undergrond here in st louis crazy show

[fassterblade]

who gives a fuck about goddam grammy!!! yeeeeeaah boooooyyyyy!!!!

[fassterblade]

pure energy flowed from their shows...you just had to be there in their prime...unreal.

[illduque1]

The remix With Anthrax someone mentioned earlier was actually another song (Bring the Noise)..

[robzombay72]

Radio Raheem bitches

[ABOM420]

Panther power on the hour for the rebel in you....

and yes kid rock used to try to combine country and hiphop and used to mention it all the time when he was still hot

so chances are yea he meant to make a little shoutout to the PE

[ddtopia101]

FUCK KID ROCK

[bskate10]

kid rock has a song called devil withput a cause does that song have anything to do with this

[seantree]

35 yo now and have yet to see them live. I'm def gettin there next time. Fucking Chuck D and PE for life.

[LazarusEinstein]

I got to see them way back when...around '86-87? or so. And it was EVERY bit as exciting as this vid...and then some, cause I was there live. Great memories from that era in hip hop. Peace.

[ABOM420]

35????????

....and u havnt gone... you bastard!!!

but it aint all about goin to shows and gettin merc and PE understands that so its all good...

as long as u spread the message

[Mackadoeshez]

Supporter of Chesimard!!

I like this original album version better than the Anthrax Remix- although both are dope!

[stormape]

there is no better way to hear this song than absolutely cranking this song

[Pontiac127]

I owned this mix on VHS back in the late 80's. Played it at top volume for a year everyday, til it BROKE, no lie ( I think my mom was happy). Thanx for the post. PE forever!!

[blsd12nch]

dam this song is classic and real hip hop music when lyics meant more than how much money, cars, and women you have. Now they gave real concerts along with Run-DMC

[nick979]

Seriously i listen to this song like 20 times a day i love public enemy...

[MrGregsbell]

terminator x is sick on the flex.. 1 of the best ever... and the bomd sqad production.... wow

[DJTroyB]

I drove home the other day with this on as loud as my ears could take. Intensity at its finest. Today still...one the absolute top joints ever in Hip Hop.

[tuffty69]

I also saw the concert L L , PE ..it was amazing..i was 17 at the time

[portobellogal]

I agree, I thought he was going to become some kind of leader of a movement( Im still waiting to join) saw them live first time in London with LLCool J back in 86 or 87? was blown away....

[voodoosman4ever]

Chuck D the most powerful lyricist ever...Rakim and Paris were close behind him.

[SethChillis]

I'd like to throw Brother J of X-Clan in that mix also!!!

[whatspass]

i was 22 when this was still underground on L.A. mix tapes i was refurbing 12-band equalizers back then playing rebel thru huge ass onkio speakers. a huge leap from bum rush i was hooked my co-workers not so much.

[GoDawgsAtl]

I was at this concert when it came to Atlanta back in the day. One of my most favorite songs.

[mrhorn2001]

"Simple and plain, give me the lane, and I'll shove it down yo' throat like Barkley!

"You see my car keys? You'll never get these...'cause they belong to the 9-8 posse!!" (Man! and people today talk about fierce?

these lyrics brought

total devastation to all the other rap crews out at that time and wanna be rappers and made nigaas re-evaluate. I'm 44 and from New York City so trust me... I remember that shit like yesterday.

[telka3013]

If you listen to this song three times in a row without throwing a thrash can through a window screaming RADIO RAHEIM! Your soul is dead!

[mrhorn2001]

hahaha!! tru dat

[mrhorn2001]

this was back when barkley was with the sixers and was really posterizing cats and giving facials sir charles was slammin it right down on taller players who could not believe a 6'5'' chubby kid from alabama was going to go to the rim like that.

[3351162]

public enemy nember one

11111111111111111111

classic is the best

[Skrepis]

One of dopest track of PE which is nr.1.!!

[wobblycoffee]

[slacko2147388]

Holy Shit!

[theiux05]

My alltime flavorit Public Enemy song

[goj617gemini]

2 things.

At least the retards rhyme.

And you picked a perfect name for yourself with that comment.......................­..

[pacificspotted]

what does "cold medina" mean? anyone???

[toneric1]

It is a term used by flav "DESIGNED TO SCATTER" chuck's lines for suckers in his powerful message.

[haulkamania]

Yeeeah Boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!

[siggygran]

decades ahead of their time, better music, better rhymes, so much better than so much of the lame shit today where they cant shut their mouths about the size of their dicks / bank accounts... get some soul, watch some PE, write something original or fuck off

[ellmiguel]

totally agree.

[charliebrown4321]

this was also played in the movie "Friday Night Lights"

[Pogneman]

masterpiece

[bilal1001]

Chuck Dee & Co thankz for your music.

Best Pop/Rap group EVER>>>>>>

[portknoxxa]

Probably the hardest Hip Hop track eva. Shouts to Terminator X and the Bomb Squad and Rick Rubin

[badnewsreppin]

This joint goes so fuckin hard!

[firstsunoriginal]

[thirdshift47]
