Even Flavor Flav, as crazy as he is, displays a form of intelligence in his own awkward way. Im so proud to have been a young teen during this era. I was blessed to witness the BEST!!!!
For those of a certain age, you have to pause and pay respects to Arsenio, cause we know we never had our people on late night TV like this before. This was epic.
Yeah New Zealand has some decent rap,thankyou chuck for mentioning us,43 yr old white dude who was brought up on hiphop from when i was 15,whodini,grandmasterflash and furious five,still loving hiphop now and will to day i die,had so many public enemy tapes and records,love em
Yeah I remember when Public Enemy first came out, before Rebel Without a Pause and Bring The Noise. It was when their first album was out and nobody knew who they were. They were interviewed in some magazine and Chuck D said that he wanted to create 5,000 Black leaders. I was young at the time, probably 13 years old but that was the first time I'd ever heard a rapper speak like that, with that kind of determination. Most rappers were just talking about getting girls and living the life.
I have to say PE 1st album is what got me interested in listening to Hip Hop music, their lyrics were very profound and insipiring that leads their listeners to finding out where they got their influences and sources from.
I just wish and wish this era would just come back!! I just love PE and their political stance! Chuck D is so right! It is time we take care in and for our communities! And 21 years later its still a struggle! Flav said some great things as well! Its never too late to really get things in action!
listen to dead prez, immortal technique, poor righteous teachers, paris, akir, diabolic, jedi mind tricks, Vinnie paz, rockin squat, ras kass, chino xl, killah priest.... just to name few......
I look up to Chuck D. I'm 1989 when I was 11 my Unc gave me 2 tapes he didn't want and that I could have. One was K-9 Posse which had Eddie Murphy's little brother in it....I don't remember any of their songs..the other joint was PE- It takes a nation of millions... That might be the best album ever.
The Beastie Boys gave PE there start and fought for them and LL Cool J as well. To me was the point there are a lot of white people standing side by side with you willing to fight the good fight with you.
No bro they all cane up together. Russell Simmons brought up Run DMC, LL and Beastie Boys. Then Beastie Boys moves over to Rick Rubin, along with many other artists of different genres. They all got the same respect for each other.
He was misinformed; religion is a distraction from the capitalists pulling all the strings. The ADL attacking them afterward was nasty though, and considering the question was about Palestine, and him claiming to be misquoted, I'd definitely like to hear him talk about it today. From what I've seen he's gone pretty nuts though, talking about chakras and automatons and junk :/
There are droves of blues and jazz musicians who would tell him straight up they never 'lost' either genre. Chuck's a bit too cynical and defeatist about some aspects of life. Miles Davis and Charles Mingus never 'lost' their music to any one. And neither did Hooker, Waters, Buddy Guy or younger musicians like Selwyn Birchwood, Jarekus Singleton, or Marquise Knox.
The musicians may not have but the people did. Go to any blues or jazz concert today - how many black people do you see there? And this is Chuck’s point. Although the music comes from black America it always ends up with the people becoming removed from that culture for the benefit of the white majority. Colonialism, pure and simple
All rap is nowadays is just people talking about what they don’t have, and talking about material things like sex, money and drugs. It went from “folk story’s” to “oh man how can I be as shitty as possible”
Elvis Presley is the only person inducted into THREE music hall of fames (country, gospel, rock & roll). Making him indisputably the King of Music. Elvis's legacy will last for ETERNITY. Public Enemy will be entirely forgotten when the generation who were kids in the 80s are all dead.
Like Chuck D said " Elvis was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me, racist that sucker was simple and plain MF him and John Wayne". My kids all know PE and the knowledge Chuck D dropped.
@@SeanIgo thats funny..anlut him being talentless..meanwhile you're following the comments and posting 🤣🤣. I don't follow TH-cam of people I find talentless! Your comments sat mote about YOU.
Elvis's was a sellout even in his own time. He went to the whitehouse to help promote anti drug laws that targeted the youth and put a whole generation behind bars while the rich and the powerful imported the very drugs into the country and built the private prison system we have to this day! Funk that hypocrisy
David Bowie noticed MTV in the early days didn’t play much music by black artists. America is rotten from the core. Followed PE since the late eighties and the situation hasn’t changed or got better. You just had an openly racist president.
@@versatilethearcane He has another child who he is passing on his skills as a musician the child is named JORDAN!!!!! He was a SELF TAUGHT MUSIC PRODIGY.
Chuck D. is definately informed..and I could imagine back then they were like,,can somebody please shut him up..he's talking to much TRUTH!...but you know what as uncomfortable for some to listen to what Chuck D. is stipulating..This news, need to get out there..it was an affirmation of the TRUTH!
When Public Enemy burst on the scene it was wild. Chuck D sounding like a southern baptist preacher as he raps. Flavor Flav with his cartoonish sounding Yeaahboyee, humorous adlibs etc. Music sounding almost thrash metal like with the James Brown samples, and many multi layered samples on top of samples, on top of samples, and the annoying noise loops over hip hop beats. It was some wild aggressive stuff and alot to process. Lol
It funny what was said first about Rap being an advocate and not losing rap and it being the black American folk story. Presently it is just like Jazz and R & B. Completely lost.
@@roxannethames3317 i know they did. I was there, but they've now faded into irrelevance. Why do you think they no longer put out records? People just don't care about them that much anymore.

Nobody was around when the clock started.
chuck d droppin' knowledge as usual!
Chuck was and STILL is my HERO at 48 years old!!

i learned their songs and in class only a few knew i was doing Public Enemy and everyone else thought my rhymes were incredible.
'40s, Blunts and b!tches
I have to say PE 1st album is what got me interested in listening to Hip Hop music, their lyrics were very profound and insipiring that leads their listeners to finding out where they got their influences and sources from.
25 years later, and much has gotten worse in terms of what Chuck D was discussing about the community.
I just wish and wish this era would just come back!! I just love PE and their political stance! Chuck D is so right! It is time we take care in and for our communities! And 21 years later its still a struggle! Flav said some great things as well! Its never too late to really get things in action!

Thank you! I will definitely be looking to get in depth with them!
Thank you Taylor! Im checkin them out!
***** Thanx Hunny!

so tru
here in 2018. Chuck D always speaks truth.
well like blues and jazz rap is lost today
flavor flav makes me so happy he's so much fun
Flavour Flav's input @5:43 is just so righteous, i miss these days. He ain't saying much but he was still saying alot if you know what i mean...
lafairweath3
Flav was alwaze dope ✌
I look up to Chuck D. I'm 1989 when I was 11 my Unc gave me 2 tapes he didn't want and that I could have.

Chuck dropping science as usual Respect King!! 📚💎👑❤️🖤💚
2019 anyone?
If I was born black, I would want to be Chuck D.
Flav is such a funny guy.
Flava blingin in '93, damn.. he must be the godfather of bling
Slick Rick
hoodie is FIRE.....Flava always drippy
Big up Chuck D and public Enemy respect.
Bill's interest in NBC was the beginning of his end.
dat was my group man they beats was hot
Arsenio was up their sweating while Chuck was speaking FACTS, hoping he didn't get kicked off the air for having Chuck, Flav, and PE on.
this show was blocked in lawton oklahoma this particular show with chuck d was blocked from being viewed
Flav was flying in the clouds right there.
Hip-Hop At Its Best ...Cause Back Then We Had A Reason 4 Rhymes...Most Of It Caused By Presidential Media With Bad Intentions....
The Beastie Boys gave PE there start and fought for them and LL Cool J as well. To me was the point there are a lot of white people standing side by side with you willing to fight the good fight with you.
They're jewish
roundershow no, RICK RUBIN put PE on & yes he’s white.
impossible.
The Beastie Boys did not give PE and LL their starts...that's real dumb
No bro they all cane up together. Russell Simmons brought up Run DMC, LL and Beastie Boys. Then Beastie Boys moves over to Rick Rubin, along with many other artists of different genres. They all got the same respect for each other.
"What do you think Martin Luther King would've thought?"
"He would've been upset to see himself get shot"
Also "nobody was around when the clock started"
We definitely lost it,Chuck 🤦🏾♂️
But Chuck says now Flav is not apart of Public Enemy 🤨🤨🤨😕☎️📢🤬🤐
Freeport 11520 and Roosevelt 11575 forever!
Chuck D for President....
Their music was perfectly safe until Griff told the truth.
He was misinformed; religion is a distraction from the capitalists pulling all the strings.

rap is universal - just as long as your black
What the hell Flava? lol

In 1993. That would've been the time to frame Bill, not 20 years later, lol.

Chuck D is God
Mlk holiday? Why? The unwed birthrate of black woemen2 has skyrocketed since the civil right's movement. Point oc view? Being unwed fathers? JS
yay racism
Wow!
My all time favorite rap group. I met Chuck and Flav. They are very cool and very intelligent.
David Bowie noticed MTV in the early days didn’t play much music by black artists. America is rotten from the core. Followed PE since the late eighties and the situation hasn’t changed or got better. You just had an openly racist president.
@@Oooo-bi7bi How do you explain Yo MTV Raps?
@@paulkersey1007 I said in the early days.
@@Oooo-bi7bi I understand that but MTV was also the first to introduce Walk this way by Run DMC and Aerosmith
@@paulkersey1007 There's an interview with David Bowie by MTV and he is complaining to them that they don't broadcast black music
The number #1 Enemy!!! Hip - Hop Legends. Chuck D and Flavor Flav.
"...TIME IS A VERY IMPORTANT ELEMENT THAT CAN'T BE WASTED..."
Flavor Flav never ages.
That cuz he started out looking old lol
@@versatilethearcane Funny as hell but true.

Absolutely they was terrified of an educated black man who speaks the truth and they couldn't shut him up!

Chuck D is a better conservative than Romney by a mile!
"...HANGIN' FROM THE END OF THE ROPE OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM..."
Arsenio was like get "yo feet off my ottoman, mohfacka! !!
Chuk D serious about Dr K dodging bullet, flavor flav heavy👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
@8:51 that DEFINITELY didn't age well lololololololol
who watchin during #quarantine
What he said at the end would apply to the Cosby case.
Looking back from October 2019. He's a prophet.
Chuck D is the minister of informarion and Flav is his count jester :)
ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME
It funny what was said first about Rap being an advocate and not losing rap and it being the black American folk story. Presently it is just like Jazz and R & B. Completely lost.
I miss the 90's😔
This aired in 93 & they said Cosby was interested in buying NBC...he's been trying since 1993!!
And now chuck D is a sjw smh
He's the same, you're just a reactionary 😂 He's always been ahead of his time, especially now when most Americans and Europeans are going backwards
Funny because no one gives a shit about Chuck D/Public Enemy today
I do chuck is my favorite mc
I do, still listening to him 12/9/22. You can't speak for EVERYONE!!
@@roxannethames3317 Wow, that's really weird. Rap doesn't have that sort of staying power.
@@SullenMorbius PE had a message, it's not like today's BS that makes no sense. It was about awareness.
@@roxannethames3317 i know they did. I was there, but they've now faded into irrelevance. Why do you think they no longer put out records? People just don't care about them that much anymore.
Of course this would only have 109 comments
Serious and sometimes very alarming topics, but somehow listening to Chuck D talk makes me feel so good. Same feeling with Public Enemy songs.
