This song is a PERFECT example of how a song can be so enjoyable (with beats, etc) to listen to, but at the same time delivers a strong/meaningful/powerful message.
No excuses Lil' Wayne, Drake, and _______________ (insert rapper names here)

@ciflyer I can understand that dude. But the way I see it, rascism stems from seeing others as belonging to a group AND seeing yourself as belonging to a group. Solidarity lies with identifying ones self as a member of HUMANITY with a set of rights given to you by your maker, not by a government or an arbitrary pigmentation. You're both cool, but the destruction of color is the desired endstate. Until people can say that they simply like the music as opposed to attaching qualifiers...

Can't wait to teach the dynamics of this rap song in my Spring 2012 English 137 course: African American Literature: Experiences . . .

Here come the drums! I bought this on cassette...yes, cassette...back when it first came out and jammed this over and over! Even at 13 years old, this song's message was not lost on me. I may not be black, but I'm a minority and I know what it's like to be held back and told that I'm never gonna be a damn thing. Public Enemy changed the way I looked at things. They showed me I shouldn't just sit back and let myself to be treated like crap. I needed to speak up and fight back! Fight the POWER!
