i live in az, and this song still represents the frustration of a lot of people here, not just outside our state. we are a diverse state, at least in phoenix and my town of tempe. its sad, but we still are faking the funk trying to be the new south instead of the wild west
We need HipHop like this to make a come back. We Black people need a wake up call real talk. A lot of us is lost in this white America and it's only leading to prison and death to my fellow brothers and sisters. Wake up Brothers and Sisters and see that you are being deceived by the devil.
@Gaiacarra I'm speaking about the media/TV music and Education. The media misleads and blind all people and this crappy music of today does the same. And the lack of education leads to low paying jobs or no job at all. And cause some to make bad decisions that leads to death or jail. When I say we need more HipHop like this, I mean more positive hiphop that speak up for the people instead of glorifying violence, drugs, and down talking and mistreating women. Kids think this lifestyle is cool.
I usually listen to Hard Rock, Metal and Punk. But Public Enemy has balls. Im not a fan of todays rap and hiphop, why? cause to me it sounds all the same. But this is genuine and one of a kind.
I always liked this P.E. track and video, it's as raw as it gets, they weren't afraid to just be real, they are legendary in the hip hop game, timeless 90's hip hop, no doubt...
Let me get this straight MLK jr. Derseves a day for himself but no other president does like washington or lincion, when are they ever they going to make a Jewish History month we have so much acmpolishments and we have been discriminted aganist
@roelran I never said that he's president, all i'm saying why does he deserve a day with his name on it and the presidents don't, how about renaming MLK Jr. day to civil rights day.
@ranondo92 LOL! (funny guy...) Sorry but I don't argue with complete strangers on youtube. I just let them know when they sound stupid. The truth doesn't need defending. It defends itself...
@paydirt78 you can't defend yourself because you simply can't, if you disagree with someone or think there stupid you put reasoning behind it . why reasoning is why should a man be put above a more important figure such as a founding father like washington,jefferon, lincon or president why not change the name for MLK day to civil rights day .
@ranondo92 #1) If LINCOLN was so great, why do you keep spelling his name wrong? #2) Why do you care? You're obsessing over trivial shit! They got to be president of the United States and got their heads carved into a FRICKIN MOUNTAIN! Their face is on our FRICKIN MONEY! They have buildings and monuments names after them. What more do they need? TRUTH...
@paydirt78 this is what happens when people lose an aguemnt they focus on something that not important,I don't have spell check install for some reason. How a day for both Gahdi and MLK and other civil right leaders by calling it Civil rights day .
@ranondo92 Terrorism existed before music videos. Again... trivial shit. Terrorism stops when fear is eliminated. Until then, supporting or rebuking it will not effect the tactics. TRUTH...
@paydirt78 No duh einstien , so you support a video that displays a man assassinating (i.e. terrorism) a person over a disagreement such my state won't celebrate MLK day
@ranondo92 I don't give a damn what Arizona does cuz I don't live there. If they don't want an extra day off from work and waste tax money carding every Mexican they see, that's on them. I have bigger fish to fry. Have fun with your "divide and conquer" issues young man. P.S. I just like the song and never even knew it had a video...
@ranondo92 Were you even alive in the late '90s? Back then, kids took a break from school on Lincoln & Washington's birthday. Don't argue back at me neither. I know. I was there.
OK, everyone here can give up the tired old argument about the Republicans ending slavery, and the democrats being KKK. It is a different world now. I used to argue the same shit when I was a Republican, but was driven away by their overt hate and intolerance. So, give it up, folks. The issue is conservatism more than party affiliation. And the Republicans are the party of conservative extremism. Either way, both parties as a whole don't care about the underclass, black or white.
This song is as current now with Gov of Arizona Janice K, Brewer's policies on Immigration as it was when it was originally written about that Gov then.. .
Please guy's look into history(and i'm suprised chuck) didn't call them on that as he seems to have a mission. The republicans are for against slavery when the democrates disagreed with it. When the republicans freed you guys, the democrates brought about welfare which is the new age slavery to the man......they get your vote but at the expence of your soul........
Yeah fuck this shit, I am a card carriying republican that has ginin up hope and now an a libertarian. I am a proud PE fan but all you fucktards need to know that the domocratic party is the original klan party. I am so sick and tired of you fucks that don't look at history yourself and you just keep voting for the people who historicaly put you down. I guess that if a fucker said that the republicans are racist, you will believe that....
At age 66, I LOVE ALL your Sounds and agree with everything you portray, defining our Nation and the many who don't have a clue how important your statements infer! My three sons: 25, 26, & 28, all know I am really a "Hip," Brown-Eyed, Soul Brother," being Jewish/Italian and was born/raised in South Philly, Pa!! We all love your Music and hope you continue expressing your exceptionally truthful & creative messages! Thanks Bro's... Michael C. from Tucson, AZ.
"Its good to see and take witness from our horrific past," and to learn more from its wicked past experiences.. Jesus Christ is the only way to establish peace and unity among the races, and as scripture speaks, we can expect his presents soon...
I remember being the only person in Arizona who wasn't offended by this song when it came out. You get what you ask for. You fail to acknowledge something as simple as a holiday dedicated to the struggle of a people, you should expect backlash in many forms. Besides, I can't fault anything Public Enemy did back then. Regardless what Flav became, the music will always be relevant. Real rap.
For years I listened to this song not drop your tears and my heart stopped I'm from Colombia I do not speak English but this song reminds me of the streets and children of my country I love this song homeless :) ..........
Damn Public Enemy is so legendary.Chuck D's politicalness/consciousness and Flavor Flav's sarcastic while dope rhymes makes them the most influential and one of the best hip-hop groups ever.
Vevo you've done nothing to justify putting your name on this music. PE are the artists - we respect them and so should you. You can't buy your way into everyone's minds.
@Anathema1984 this would never get played bec radio station only play bs like rick ross and lil wayne pretending to be something their not. Only bs now dont rock the boat
@Anathema1984 the absolute truth Wake up Wise Raise up No More Glory for old glory!!!!!! They cannot stop the rise of The Dictatorship of the Proletariat!!!!!!
Still got good Hip-Hop. You just got to go on the order it off internet or in the records stores and do a special order. I did that with groups and artist like Little Brother, Slum Village, Killer Mike, Madd Lib, The Misfits, M.C. Ren, Paris, etc...
Public enemy were great. They really tried to shake things up as far as racial inequality. They NEVER condoned violence for violence sake. They just wanted people ( black and white) to see it how it was/is. These comments I read here are missing the point. We have a very long journey ahead of us. To start we need to STOP stereotyping and move on.
@kentamichell it doesn't matter what race you are,every race commits the same crime and as a matter of fact,not to be rascist,whites not only rape,they fucking child molest,I have never seen a black man in prison for child molestation,it doesn't matter your skin color,it matters on your mentality
This should have happened in real life. Any son of a bitch who acts like they don't understand why MLK is so praised should have this happen to them. And I'm not even black saying that!
Martin Luther King was not only an anti-racist but was also a socialist, environmentalist, feminist, and anti-imperialist. He was a champion of ALL working and poor people and was an feared enemy of the power elites. To oppose a holiday honoring him was to oppose freedom, democracy, and socioeconomic justice. I am not a fan of hip-hop but have always respected Public Enemy for never failing to speak for the voiceless and for personifying their righteous rage.
@illagen1 it's not about who is the minority or majority, it's about White supremacy in the America's through physical and economic conquest. The corrupt people in charge and the racist views that are held are the targets of public enemy's message.
Get over it kids, stop making excuses and start making solutions to your own personal cause. Be driven to better yourself and your communities. Don't buy into this element a Fascist society creates that keeps the people battling the people. We are all on the same page. Cut the shit. It's the oppression in you, the oppressor is you.
@kentamitchell ..no good deed goes unpunished.....sometimes you need to get people's attention. I dont agree with it, but I understand the imagery, the frustration, etc.
@kentamitchell Like Paris said in "Bush Killa" which itself is a song about murdering the original George Bush, "don't be telling me to get the non-violent spirit / cause when I'm violent it's the only time you devils hear it!"
@kentamitchell Few white people have had any reason to commit robbery or murder (I don't believe the shit you say about rape, you just threw it out there), let alone on blacks, many of whom have grown up in poverty with no education and money. That might explain why more blacks happen to be criminals.
Reason? Because a whole lot of black people (especially black 'men' born out of wedlock- that's about 70% of them) really hate white page, and express that through robbery, rape and murder.
See the Witchita horror, the Knoxville horror, et. al.
@kentamitchell Whose fault is that? I don't know, maybe the corruption and constant holding back of the 'minorities' with the lack of money many of them have been born with. And show me the statistics with a link while you can. So five or so scumbags happen to be black and do something horrible, yet that translates to the majority of blacks? I wouldn't doubt you being racist. I could also bring up the many white serial killers who have raped their victims.
@kentamitchell I stand corrected, the top search suggested that black-on-white crimes are much more common than the opposite, but as we all know, there are scumbags of all races so I have no idea how the discussion even got there. I'm not defending it happening, but blacks have more of a reason to be pissed than whites. With that said, I still would rather come across people who find clean ways to get themselves up instead of committing dumb crimes.
@JakRock There is no argument- the black crime rate for robbery, rape and murder is about 400% higher than for whites. The rate of black on white violent crime is an order of magnitude (.x10) than white on black.
@kentamitchell That's a bit of a bullshit thing to go on to be honest. If you trust "facts" and "figures" soley and use that to try and somehow display it in a fancy, smart way with your magnitude shit, then I really have pity for you. As far as i'm concerned, the LAST thing i'm going to trust is facts and figures given to me by any kind of media. Considering it will be all biased...
@kentamitchell No, you fucking never. Because white people are ALWAYS gonna try and fuck over black people. Or any minority for that matter. The ONLY way that black folks would be more prone to commit more crime would be due to the fucking conditions they are forced to live in by fat, racist, white officials that make it that way. And in any case that's just robbery. But to link rape and murder to a genetic code is fucking bogus. For all the education you might have, you severely lack any logic.
@JakRock A frightening percent of young men (who have no idea who der daddies be) hate white people, and love the idea of robbing, raping & murdering whites. As anyone who knows anything about the prison knows that the only thing black thugs love more than raping white wommen is raping white men.
@kentamitchell Once again you've astounded everyone with your lack of common sense. Your views might have had some backing if you weren't so fucking racist. Maybe you coulda fooled people or even put forth a good arguement in truth if you hadn't ripped the piss out of black people. Now every point you make doesn't look like a intelligent one. It just looks like a bullshit, idiotic, hillbilly, racist, fat white fuck has found somewhere to slander a whole culture.
how about instead of saying "lol all black peepz r thugz", we add a whole new angle, which is that they grew up in a ghetto where this kind of thing is deemed acceptable/commonplace
@JakRock Don't act like an intellect when you take shit like this and hold it as absolute truth. The real fucking idiots in this world are people like you who will regurgitate any shit that's given to them and not take in anything else.
Let's look at your facts; where did you get them? Who made them?
Did you even stop to think about the murders, rapes and robberies that AREN'T reported or made into a racial statistic?

Still got good Hip-Hop. You just got to go on the order it off internet or in the records stores and do a special order. I did that with groups and artist like Little Brother, Slum Village, Killer Mike, Madd Lib, The Misfits, M.C. Ren, Paris, etc...

Public enemy were great. They really tried to shake things up as far as racial inequality. They NEVER condoned violence for violence sake. They just wanted people ( black and white) to see it how it was/is. These comments I read here are missing the point. We have a very long journey ahead of us. To start we need to STOP stereotyping and move on.

This should have happened in real life. Any son of a bitch who acts like they don't understand why MLK is so praised should have this happen to them. And I'm not even black saying that!

Martin Luther King was not only an anti-racist but was also a socialist, environmentalist, feminist, and anti-imperialist. He was a champion of ALL working and poor people and was an feared enemy of the power elites. To oppose a holiday honoring him was to oppose freedom, democracy, and socioeconomic justice. I am not a fan of hip-hop but have always respected Public Enemy for never failing to speak for the voiceless and for personifying their righteous rage.

@illagen1 it's not about who is the minority or majority, it's about White supremacy in the America's through physical and economic conquest. The corrupt people in charge and the racist views that are held are the targets of public enemy's message.

Get over it kids, stop making excuses and start making solutions to your own personal cause. Be driven to better yourself and your communities. Don't buy into this element a Fascist society creates that keeps the people battling the people. We are all on the same page. Cut the shit. It's the oppression in you, the oppressor is you.

@kentamitchell Like Paris said in "Bush Killa" which itself is a song about murdering the original George Bush, "don't be telling me to get the non-violent spirit / cause when I'm violent it's the only time you devils hear it!"
fleshnbone187 5 months ago
@fleshnbone187 LOL! That's why Bernard Goetz is a folk hero. (He should've used a .357.)
FYI over the past half century, violent interracial crime (robbery, rape and murder) is virtually ENTIRELY black on white.
kentamitchell 5 months ago
@kentamitchell Few white people have had any reason to commit robbery or murder (I don't believe the shit you say about rape, you just threw it out there), let alone on blacks, many of whom have grown up in poverty with no education and money. That might explain why more blacks happen to be criminals.
fleshnbone187 5 months ago
@fleshnbone187 LOL! Of course you don't believe it.
Get somebody to read the FBI statistics to you.
Reason? Because a whole lot of black people (especially black 'men' born out of wedlock- that's about 70% of them) really hate white page, and express that through robbery, rape and murder.
See the Witchita horror, the Knoxville horror, et. al.
No education? Hmmmm....whose fault is that?
kentamitchell 5 months ago
@kentamitchell Whose fault is that? I don't know, maybe the corruption and constant holding back of the 'minorities' with the lack of money many of them have been born with. And show me the statistics with a link while you can. So five or so scumbags happen to be black and do something horrible, yet that translates to the majority of blacks? I wouldn't doubt you being racist. I could also bring up the many white serial killers who have raped their victims.
fleshnbone187 5 months ago
@fleshnbone187 Try searching "black white rape"
Take your pick.
kentamitchell 5 months ago
@kentamitchell I stand corrected, the top search suggested that black-on-white crimes are much more common than the opposite, but as we all know, there are scumbags of all races so I have no idea how the discussion even got there. I'm not defending it happening, but blacks have more of a reason to be pissed than whites. With that said, I still would rather come across people who find clean ways to get themselves up instead of committing dumb crimes.
fleshnbone187 5 months ago
@kentamitchell Let me see if I can grasp this: Are you and Fleshnbone actually arguing about who commits more crimes between blacks and whites?
JakRock 5 months ago
@JakRock There is no argument- the black crime rate for robbery, rape and murder is about 400% higher than for whites. The rate of black on white violent crime is an order of magnitude (.x10) than white on black.
kentamitchell 5 months ago
@kentamitchell That's a bit of a bullshit thing to go on to be honest. If you trust "facts" and "figures" soley and use that to try and somehow display it in a fancy, smart way with your magnitude shit, then I really have pity for you. As far as i'm concerned, the LAST thing i'm going to trust is facts and figures given to me by any kind of media. Considering it will be all biased...
JakRock 5 months ago
@kentamitchell No, you fucking never. Because white people are ALWAYS gonna try and fuck over black people. Or any minority for that matter. The ONLY way that black folks would be more prone to commit more crime would be due to the fucking conditions they are forced to live in by fat, racist, white officials that make it that way. And in any case that's just robbery. But to link rape and murder to a genetic code is fucking bogus. For all the education you might have, you severely lack any logic.
JakRock 5 months ago
@JakRock A frightening percent of young men (who have no idea who der daddies be) hate white people, and love the idea of robbing, raping & murdering whites. As anyone who knows anything about the prison knows that the only thing black thugs love more than raping white wommen is raping white men.
Bernard Goetz is a hero.
kentamitchell 5 months ago
@kentamitchell Once again you've astounded everyone with your lack of common sense. Your views might have had some backing if you weren't so fucking racist. Maybe you coulda fooled people or even put forth a good arguement in truth if you hadn't ripped the piss out of black people. Now every point you make doesn't look like a intelligent one. It just looks like a bullshit, idiotic, hillbilly, racist, fat white fuck has found somewhere to slander a whole culture.
Which is all you're doing.

Let's look at your facts; where did you get them? Who made them?
Did you even stop to think about the murders, rapes and robberies that AREN'T reported or made into a racial statistic?
