- Public Enemy's Professor Griff set the record straight with VladTV on rumors that he kicked Flavor Flav in the chest during an argument. Griff explained that after looking for Flav and finding him smoking crack on a rooftop when they should've been taking care of business, he kicked a boombox that Flav was holding in front of him.
During the conversation, Griff also explained how Public Enemy hid Flavor Flav's crack problem when they were doing anti-drug songs like "Night of the Living Baseheads," which you can hear more about above. - บันเทิง
I met Professor Griff at a whole foods in ATL yrs ago, I froze n couldn't speak for a second but I told him I followed his work and listened to his podcast n tried to put all my ppl on to him. He was very kind and humble and walked to his car and came back and gave me a copy of his book, it was one of those days I knew everything happens for a reason. Much respect King Griff 🙏
🕺🏾I'm Sure😌Ur Knowledge📚 Expanded After Meeting Up Wit Him!!!!(He's Full Of Wisdom🤔)
How can I find his podcast?
@Fernando Rodriguez thank you 👌
@Anton Chigur don't judge a book by it's cover, you don't know wtf I am...

"Naw, I ain't kick that man in his chest. WTF I look like going around kicking another man in his chest.
...Yeah I kicked him in his chest."
Yeah that was very Rick James interview for Dave Chappelle show😂😂😂. The full interview with Rick James is hilarious.
Hotobu he said he kicked the 📻 not flavor 😂😂😂
@@denisesheriff3655 he said after he kicked the boom box he got even more upset and kicked Flav in the chest😂
Hotobu 😂☠️💀😹

Public Enemy needs a biography/ movie. I want to know their whole story.
I am Shanti yes I would love to see a doc or a good movie.
I am Shanti
me too
Must say, I agree!!!
DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE: "The Story Of Public Enemy". That would be a good ass title 4 it.
I heard its gunna be a lifetime movie. Produced by mc serch
"Pro black does not mean anti-white." I wish more Americans understood that. He came to my small town college in Pikeville Kentucky & gave a lecture. I couldnt go but my friend ran sound for the event. Said Griff was cool as hell. Griff got a lot of knowledge if people would just listen to him.
Flava had the boom box turned up to 15😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Playin some wack ass shit he prolly made. #imdone
That must've been loud af back in the day😭😭
They usually only went up to 10, so him saying 15 meant he had it up Extra Loud
That's why he always screaming acting like he can't hear, dude blew his ears out.
@@VaanBeast226 🤣😂
It’s amazing that this man is almost 60 years old. He looks good! He still has a youthful energy and fire about him. His vibrancy and clarity are an inspiration. 👸🏾
black don't crack
You need some D

SupposeImRight nah flav cried said griff broke his ribs
Kenyan Ross THIS IS HIP HOP!!!!

Immense respect for Griff!
This is such an enlightening interview.
Vladtv: The Jerry Springer of Hip Hop Culture
Nice stolen comment, loser.
Thanks Mr Goldstein. For all your contributions to Vlads Channel...
there is no PE without chuck d, no PE without flavor flav, no PE without PROFESSOR GRIFF, no PE without terminator x, s-1 w's
no PE without the BOMB SQUAD Shocklee bros
And I guess the people who produced their groundbreaking sound didn't count huh?
mysterymediacorp He said Shock/Lee no ¿
mysterymediacorp lol
Clear the way for the S to S 1ws
......."then flava come along..ON CRACK!" LMAO I'm dead
Mic D yo I knew someone else fell out on that line , I was searching the comments for youlmao
Flav look like a crack head that was born a crack baby . Can’t believe dude still has a brain .
I met him about11yrs ago in Atl, stood and spoke to him for about 4hrs..He has a wealth of information that he freely gives.
Ive met Griff and seen him speak about 3 times. I respect this brother highly.
Anybody and everybody knew Flav was on crack but Flavor Flav was absolutely necessary for Public Enemy to work.
Griff and the S1W's, necessary,
Terminator X, necessary,
Flav was the treble and Chuck D was the Bass.
It's a musical science.
I saw them live around 2010/2011. Then i saw them without Flava a few months back. It just didn't work.
night of the living base head was one of the greatest videos in hip hop
Godscience DNA Music Productions it was larger than life bro
😅
*is.....my bad. that "was" just bothered me. like hip hop is sho nuff dead or sumn.
i dunno. i think you need to re watch "by the time i get to arizona". that video could never be made today, i couldn't believe the shit snoop was catching for his lame ass trump music video. "black steel in the hour of chaos" also had a dope video.
Check out a video called 'Fat Cats, Bigga Fish' by The Coup. Most people don't know about it, but it's a classic.
The life of Public Enemy should be a movie series on Hulu just like Wu-Tang
VLAD CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THINGS YOU'VE DONE WRONG IN YOUR LIFE PLEASE.THANK YOU.
Mark Williams exactly...someone needs to expose his culture.
Mark Williams 😂😂😂🤣💪🏿 my nigga your comment is funny 😂 asf
Mark Williams he's white so according to him he's done nothing
Diane moreno lol
Mark Williams You've got to be joking right now!! Do you not realize that you're watching Interviews??
Its crazy having to deal with druggies man. Especially in a professional environment. Crazy
Griff was nothing to fuck with in our hood. He use to teach the arts to a bunch of us little kids in front of his moms house in Roosevelt. Brick town was a small projects in Freeport. Long Island was a suburban area. But that project look like a Brooklyn projects. It stood out among all the house's. Peace and much Respect.
Michael Jackson cool
That's dope to be a direct student of hip hop. I hear these kind of stories from my fam from NY n Jersey. Peace bro..
Professor Griff is so dope.
He's a piece of trash racist
Love him.....
@Frank Garbone .... Well Frankie, why are you here?!
The guy that got me eating right and avoiding mainstream Trump 2016 society....
I love hearing hip hop stories from the O.G's in the game, gives you a different perspective on the culture
He look the same as he looked 30 years ago! Damn!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
leah Renee no drugs or alcohol
leah Renee he survived the problems that age people ain’t shit compared to real struggles when you get out people age because of bullshit. Dudes who made it out don’t age because they can’t be phased
You know as much as I like Flav it always seemed weird with a group like PE that a dude like Flav was in the group. It just didn’t mesh really, it’s like Batman having the Joker as a sidekick.
"You was poppin' off all that good shit a second ago, then you got kicked in yo chest!!!"
If NWA got a big movie then Public Enemy needs a movie and the same look. I came up during the era of PE and NWA and to be honest Public Enemy made doper music and remained in tact longer. Imagine the story of a PE on the silver screen?
Big Daddy Kane needs a movie.
It wont' be big as N.W.A, but they should have one though.
Quincy McBride IV Ice Cube did mention he wanted to do a PE movie next!
I agree but you can't have public enemy without chuck d but you can without griff
PE crushes NWA. No contest. NWA is Go Fish
PE is No Limit Hold'em
"And then flava come along on Crack"
It's not funny but the way he said it made me chuckle.
"We was robbing drug dealers"
Griff is aggressive on getting things done RESPECT👍🏽
“And then flava come along on CRACK “
PE gave black people a sense of pride and sef-worth missing from America since the 60s. They raised many young men to become real men.
Slavery was reality just 155 years ago. There were about 4.5 million blacks in America-Approx 4 million were slaves. One year later about 3 million were "freed" into almost the same place as the slaves -poverty, no education, no land, no jobs, family connections, etc.
There are people alive today who knew people who were alive when slavery was normal. The beliefs that allow such a thing as slavery to exist were sometimes passed to their kids, who sometimes passed those beliefs to their kids, who may be too dumb to understand why that's wrong.
Just 54 years ago Legal Segregation was the law in America... If you accept those as indications of your value - those two things alone - not to mention the names, signs, groups, movies, etc - make it almost impossible to feel respected, equal or any sense of fairness exists in the US.
When people say "Get over it, race isn't an issue" They are ignorant and childish. They are probably the low IQ, non-evolved people mentioned. Ignore them for the fools they are...
When someone says "Yes, that is truly too hard a thing thing to live with, so don't. Choose to explore today's possibilities to the best of your abilities and pursue your best life options based on your current freedoms", you may want to listen and live free from the pain and shame we don't have to carry, unless we choose to do so.
ReallyStrongGuy I didn't know much about Black history until the second album. I didn't know who Farrakhan was until PE and a member of his mosque in Newark gave me my name. School taught me how to sit Indian style...eat free lunch...play kickball...and avoid project housing posse problems. Anything else I learned there was pure luck.
ReallyStrongGuy bro this is the most beautifully written piece of work
ReallyStrongGuy are you serious, you have low self esteem, if you think rap gives pride.
Look up peonage laws. That and Jim crow means basically slavecatchers became the police
ReallyStrongGuy slavery never ended in America they just changed it to say blacks had to b convicted of a crime so they made everything illegal. Read the 13th amendment
Public Enemy's (It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back) was preserved in the Library of Congress.
No they aren't.
- Somebody that works for the National Archive
@Valencio Danes are you on crack?? Lol imagine a lil yachty album or limp bizkit or some other retarded shit being preserved for all future generations to study lmao I can't even
@Valencio Danes nah man just important shit that has like cultural significance or some kind of huge influence over art in general
@Valencio Danes that's what I'm saying bruh could you imagine kids studying lil pump or yachty or some garbage in school?? But with that particular public enemy album I could see that happening at some point in the future lol
Professor Griff is the man.. when this man speaks, everybody listens.. at least if you're smart you do? he has knowledge like nobody knows, literally.. and he shares it if you listen closely..
“And then this dude come around on crack?!..”
it takes a nation of millions to hold us back is arguably the greatest hip hop album ever made
The way Griff tells stories is hilarious
I got a letter from the government the other day.
Darrylito Chatterboxer about?
i opened and read it
it said they were suckers
they wanted me for their army or whatever. pictured me given a damn I said never
Damn, I was in the army the first time I heard this, then got pure speechless & quiet after that line.
Here's a land that never gave a damn about a brother like me and myself. Because they never did.
I met Professor Griff in ATLANTA back in the 90,s he was always about the upliftment for his people to bad Public Enemy and other conscious Poets Rappers didn't last longer before the industry removed the positive conscious music Love and Peace !!!
Question, where's the entire interview with Griff? This is by far one of the best interviews I've seen on Vlad TV besides Lord Jamar. I can watch this multiple times. PLEASE upload the entire interview!!!
True. If u saw public enemy live, the s1w's put on a real military exhibit ! It was live!!
It was crazzzy!
You right RedRose..I saw them in Hampton,VA on a Def Jam tour..LL,Run DMC,Slick Rick..P.E. was phenomenal..BTW..You're gorgeous 😁
I saw em in 1997 and a kid and I saw S1Ws come on stage in military regalia, carrying sub machine gun Uzis, doing a military drill team performance and martial arts demonstration while Flav did his thing, Chuck D rapped and Terminator X was freestyling on the teccniques and we we in jaw dropped amazement...freaked us out because hip hop had never seen such but original and shock value in a good way lol
Idontlikethatshit lol it was fine until the you’re gorgeous comment, now you a creep
@@Pniss-dq3qg LMAO!🤣🤣🤣
PE CRAZY, CRAZY PE.....one of my all- time favorite groups. Their Late 80s-90s shows were the livest!!! #NeverDuplicated #OneofOne
P>E> will never be the same with out Terminator X...Golden years!
Dj Lord is a badass tho
night of the living baseheads and welcome to the terrordome- two BEST rapvideos ever made...80s decade was simply the best, really
Nice. Griff is straight up . I appreciate that. God bless you Sir...
where can I buy that necklace?
Professor Griff is on a whole nother level!!!!!!!! 😅😅😅
Ha, Professor move! Great interview. Love this dude!
We used to listen to Public Enemy back in late 80's at a campground in Girard Mich, potawatame campground, best memories of my childhood. Brock, Stan, me, Mike and Steph.
Who is here because of the Flavor-Flav interview
SENORBIGDOG here
Moi
Can't imagine them being in the same group lol.
"THIS IS HEMPSTEAD!"
Spartan kicked across to the other end of the building.
Outstanding Interview
I read this title and was like " yep that's our flav"!!!
"What more could I say? I wouldn't be here today if the old school didn't pave the way"
Professor Griff resides in Wakanda.
Lol That brotha is Africa. Good interview Prof!
Saw Public Enemy in Jackson Mississippi about 25 yrs ago. Good show
Prof Griff is funny af telling these anecdotes.
Griff robbed drug dealers.....lmao
Good
Pretty admirable, ya' ask me.
Getting robbed is part of it.
Yeah in the way he spoke agaisnt what they represent. He took food out their mouth by rapping about it
he was Omar before HBO the wire
"I didn't kick that man in his chest....." "I ended up kicking him in his chest..."
@Matt C .... Cocaine’s a hellava drug!
Amen my brother, Great respect for you,Professor Griff peace blessing and love
dope interview
Flav is SO MUCH MORE THAN a freakin hype man 😖
Love Professor Griff..
😂😂😂 i was about to say the same thing
8:17 great message!
I saw Professor Griff give a talk, and he kindly gave me two videos. This was back in 2006 or 2007 and he seemed a bit paranoid and out of it. But he seems much more lucid lately. If he was suffering, I hope he got help. He signed my "takes a nation.." cd and was very kind.
Look up "Juvenile Delinquents " Terminator X's solo-album, shit is dope!
i think the feds got better things to do than sub to vladtv and try to build a case on old ass charges on rappers..yall need to relax and be entertained..its youtube ppl.half the videos on this sight is involving some illegal shit
cliftoncharlton that's exactly what the police would say
KNUCKLEHEAD STREET you would know
cliftoncharlton don't sleep on white supremacy. understand 6 degrees of separation
Great conversation.
Wow, I would've never guessed that there was such a Brando-esque layer to Flav's method acting dedication for filming of a music video that he would go to such lengths as to actually smoke crack in order to make his performance in the crack-themed Night of the Living Baseheads video more convincing. What a dedicated professional!
Indeed. Method acting.
Damn so Eric Andre ain't the only one that kicked that nigga LMAO
Justin Mckinney bird up
Hannibal burres
Justin Mckinney . .
Did somebody order a pizza ball??????
Thanks Griff for keeping it real.
Love how he keeps saying 'understand what I'm saying', could listen to him talk for hours.
The way he laughed when dude asked if he kicked Flav in the chest! Lmao
no need to say black. artists in general have massive addiction issues
t.puffs for some of them. There's lots of rappers don't use any drugs at all. Gucci gets a lot of publicity for it but there are more artists that live sober too
t.puffs yea but who is mostly in music hip hop blacks and yes im black
Gabe Mo I got you. he's a hip hop dude talking about hip hop so it makes sense to say black. I was just trying to say if people stop distinguishing things as black and white it would help with race relations in general. we're all one people
self-doubt..being overly critical, etc...do some dope and that shits silenced, just be free to focus on the art. Problem is, sooner or later, the dope becomes the focus
Not a Black thing a lot of people in any arena of entertainment industry use drugs all ages colors and creeds
Man how did Hip Hop fall so far..... Watching this feels like watching a relay race where the guy gets the baton and runs in the wrong direction. We don't have to agree on everything to make progress but you do have to be headed in the right GENERAL direction. There's still a few conscious artist out there, but it just seems like we should be a LITTLE further along now in our wokeness.
Ahh... Man, dig in the underground. Rap has never been better
Because the people who control mainstream rap don't have anything to do with the culture.
It’s just mainstream, the mainstream is trash af but underground amazing. Listen to Griselda, boldy James, Freddie Gibbs, Mach-Hommy, billy woods, Rome Streetz, Ka, curren$y an thank me later
HiPP HoPP has landed on its head‼️‼️‼️‼️⁉️
Professor Griff is Cassidy's father.
Gotta b
Lol 😂 now that u mention it, they truly do look alike.
That kick Flavor Flav in the chest stuff made snot shoot out my nose visualizing that.
YOU made me laugh so hard thanks I NEEDED that
So 30 years later we talking about Flav getting kicked lol
Griff shouted out my hometown.....Hempstead Strong Island baby!!! I used to chill in Roosevelt,Uniondale and Freeport too.
Nino Blacque much love from Queenz
Nino Blacque I used to live in Roosevelt then moved to Westbury
Is this in Florida?

"The mystique of a man who never spoke". Griff just being honest.
Ahhhh the old “everybody was doing it” excuse haha
Griff gave a profound analysis on multiple levels...that was tight!
Do you Fight The Power or do you Fight The Flavor?
black or white rap r&b heavymetal country it dont matter People did drugs and will continue to drugs now It will never stop
Damn, he said he had the boom box to the ear over the shoulder volume at 15! Damn, now that's wild lol.
Same happened with the Furious 5 & their "White Lines" song. All of them were on the stuff. Most of the actors who did anti-drug spots in the '80s were on coke too. Pretty much everybody was on coke/crack back then at some point; it was just a party drug for most people.
Griff: He had his boom box on 15, listening to some wack ass song that he probably made. 😂 Now in retrospect everything that happened on "Flavor of Love" makes perfect sense! 😭 #crackiswack#Flavoncrack#theWACKYyears
Cassidy when he gets old
Professor Griff did have one of the classic hip hop songs back in the day.
One of the best things to do is find out who's giving them the drugs and let them know "you better not give this person anything else"
Case closed.
Public enemy one of the pioneers.
Peace Griff
professor Griff is a real dude...
💯 dude is the truth ✊
I used to gig with these guys back in the day. We used to rehearse at Griff's house. We all had studios at 110 S. Franklin St., Hempstead. Griff was a good guy. So was Flav, Hank Shocklee, Eric 'Vietnam' Sadler... all of them.
I read the caption and I started laughing uncontrollably 💀
No matter what you have to admit Flav is the greatest hype man of all time.
Flavor Flav was just doing research for the video.
Henry A. 😂
I met Professor Griff on 2 different occassions in the A-town. Once back in the 90's when he was doing fugitive hunting. Another time in Kroger in Stone Mountain. Brother was cool. Humble. You would think with all the fame from the REAL HIP HOP days, he would be arrogant. He smiled and greets people like he knows them, unless he's looking for you!!
Public Enemy are the Rolling Stones of rap
