Notice - Know This

This is a polite respect call to the troops , to continue to inspire but reflect the people better. OTIS Redding was a humble country man from Macon Georgia who bought a jet to work in, not flash. He perished in that plane. Heres to hoping that the J & K supergroup can elevate the masses and try a little bit more to reflect OTIS heart rather than swag, because they're too good to be less.

Chuck still keepin ir real...for real.

I bumped into Chuck a couple years back @TGIF of Apple Bees (whats the difference anyway) on LI. Told him he inspired me to be a teacher and he paid for me and my wife's meal. How many Hip Hop stars can you say that about. Keep doin your thing Chuck.

THE 1% DISLIKE!!

The more you talk real, the more you get estranged from reality (the mainstream, that is). I see this in so much rappers and popular artists.

Q-Tip of 'A Tribe Called Quest' did the majority of production of all of their album but it is credited as ATCQ (or 'The Ummah'). Chuck D is one of the major influences of 'conscious rap'. His tone of voice and delivery was very hard or militant-like so he was labeled in the 'gangsta' category. Chuck D, as you stated, gave Busta Rhymes his name as well as the 'Leaders Of The New School' name. Busta actually wanted to be part of ATCQ. Elektra Records wanted all of them or none.

@Bertandchurny

You do not have to be a musician to do music. Most musicians are either paid or receive royalties from the use of any samples. Flavor Flav plays over 50 INSTRUMENTS and he is major part of Public Enemy. Chuck D was speaking to "musicians" as a whole, he was speaking to the entities who weren't taking PE's music seriously. The BOMB SQUAD was an umbrella name so Hank Shocklee falls under that umbrella.

@Bertandchurny to be politically correct about this chuck d did say that for a specific reason. when rap was still a new genre musicians didnt respecthe art even said it would last past ten yrs so P.E. said that statement as being defiant to the norm. hank shocklee took credit for the production but the bomb squad as a whole took credit know the history about P.E. and lastly, chuck d influenced a sl;ew of mc's and Busta rhymes got his name from chuck d do the history my g peace

[2cooLZEROgravitY]

he still made great music without it being about money or sex i remember the first time i heard PE i deleted al the 50cent and that stuff off my computer and had only public enemy for a while it was way nicer to listen to
