In this Right Guard sponsored video Chuck D talks about how hip-hop has been co-opted by corporations. You tell them from the back of your logo covered van! Yeah!

I would have to say that anyone who thinks Chuck D/P.E. have always appealed to a largely white crowd knows very little about hip hop in the 1980's and/or is probably too young to know any better (bless). P.E. were and remain one of the most 'real' and raw acts on the planet. Regardless of who is in the audience at a European gig.
