most definitely i have it in probably my mount rushmore's of greatest hip hop albums ever illmatic it takes a nation of millions live after death get rich or die trying thats my mt rushmore
Same here. I'm 46 I think I was 10 yrs old When this dropped & I was just starting to get into music and actually understood what was being said. it was one of my first Albums I bought with my own money 😂
I'm 49. This came out during my 8th grade year. I got the DUBBED CASSETTE from someone. I used this song as my short story during an assignment in my Freshman English class. I can remember my teacher, who was a 50+ year old Caucasian woman, totally un-hitched to hip hop, was totally engaged in me reading the story until the class. One of my teammates, who loved this song as much as I do/did and was in my class almost blew my cover as I stood up to read my story/Chuck D's story... when I said "I got a letter from the government", he instantly fell out of his chair and began to laugh, almost blowing my cover😂. He got it back together, and I was able to ease up outta there.
What's funny is Flav does lighten things up, but on the another spectrum behind the scenes Flav was a very talented individual with the instrumentation and all... 💯
OMGEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! I SCREAMED when I saw the title!! I have always been obsessed with Chuck D and Public Enemy. This my soooooooooooong!!!!!!!! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
That ''It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back Album'' Is Sacred! Real Hip Hop Heads Know what It was when that album Dropped back In ''1987'' 88'' Back when everything that came out On that Def Jam Label was Dope! And Don't sleep on Their 1st album ''Yo Bum Rush The Show''!🎶🔥🔥🔥😎
Hip Hop Classic!!! Conscious Hip Hop at its Finest!! Shoot out to X-CLAN with Brother J (One of most underrated rapper ever) Hits Lists: "Funkin' Lesson" .. "In The Ways Of The Scales" .. "Fire & Earth" .. Tribal Jam .. "Raise The Flag" ..
If your looking for a club banger from PE, I don't think there is one. If you want to raise your level of awareness, then PE is for you! Only song I can think of is "Rebel Without a Pause".
Great Reaction !!! But you got to react to Public Enemy - Fight The Power 🔥🔥🔥 The Full 7 min version video. This is Definitely a guaranteed 10 bro !!! 💯
This is classic! Greatest producers, The Bomb Squad Hank Shocklee, Eric "Vietnam " Sadler. Public Enemy was the #1 hip hop group in the late 80's and early 90's. I saw Chuck D in the early 2000's doing a spoken word. The up most respect 🙏
Chuck D has one of the most recognizable voices all-time in Hip-Hop. Black Rambo with too much ammo for 32 members in NATO. Deadly dialect of Malcolm X with a Tec. Dr. Kevorkian dissections without next of kin permission. And this joint has some nasty bass. Still bump this ruckus when I do the fitness. PE is top 5 group all-time. For this type of anarchy the cat that resembles Kenan Thompson is not ready like Bronny.
It Takes a Nation of Millions is the greatest album in Hiphop history, you just don’t know. That album changed the game in ways no other album did. I understand your 9, and PE has party bangers as well. Other songs, Night of the Living Baseheads, Rebel Without a Pause, Bring the Noise (original version), Welcome To the Terrordome, Brothas Going To Work It Out, Fight the Power etc. Mohammed Ali went to prison for not going to the military.
Ali was sentenced to five years won appeal but was banned for 3 1/2 years I would have respected a 6 from the young brother! Y'all should do: Self Destruction or “It's funky enough” -D.O.C.
Fire from'88. Ty for this reaction. Keep up the real hip hop classics, by reacting to more early rappers. Also, Ali did time for not enlisting. He was still a n****a, after all. Right? Peace
It wasn't a good ending. They didn't get away. Chuck D was hung. Go back and watch the end of the video. The previous PE video y'all reacted to was "Can't Truss It". And if one of you, or both, don't think that was dope then I can't call it.
You gotta do your homework fellas. Public Enemy's album "It Takes a Nation To Hold Us Back" is one of the best HipHop albums of all time. Try listening to the album..
No🧢 cap When I say that the Barzzz on (FREESTYLE #118 RAY VAUGHN)... is Top-tier and off the ⛓️ chain. Be prepared for 8min 15sec of nonstop 🛑 🤯 mind-blowing Barzzz. Ray Vaughn spits like a 🦙 Llama on the 🎤 mic. Your 🧠 brain will think it's 🏊 drowning in Barzzz when 👂 listening to this freestyle 🎥 video. Ray Vaughn has more Barzzz than a Super Maximum Penitentiary Prison. This freestyle is a hidden 💎 gem 🫵 you gotta ⌚ watch. His Wordplay,Metaphors, Double Entendres, Lyricism and Storytelling is out of this 🌎 world. (FREESTYLE #118 RAY VAUGHN) is a 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ star 🎥 video 🫵 you should definitely ✔️ check-out.. Don't 😴💤😪 sleep on this BarzzzFest freestyle 🎥 video. Peace ✌️...
PLEASE react to "BRING THE NOISE" 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 There are two versions. The remix is with the metal band Anthrax. You'll want to do the original first then hear the remix.
I know you are a young head bro and Public Enemy 's style and music went against the grain even in the 80's but you can't listen to them like you listen to todays mumble rap . They are speaking about real deal stuff in their music. To quote Flavor Flav from She Watch Channel Zero. - back up from the tv , read a book or something , learn about yourself , learn your culture . To put this song in context , back at this time we were getting into the Gulf War and one of the things that was a topic at the time was a draft and PE was speaking on Why should we go to war for a country that doesnt give a F..k about us . We had the AIDS epidemic and Crack destroying the inner cities and you want to draft to fight a war over oil. and yes It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back is one of the greatest albums EVER recorded.
This dude is corny. I wouldn't waste a second of precious time trying to explain nuthin to this dude. Rebel without a Pause is a 10 but he won't get it.
One of the greatest albums in MUSIC period. ✌️
most definitely i have it in probably my mount rushmore's of greatest hip hop albums ever illmatic it takes a nation of millions live after death get rich or die trying thats my mt rushmore
@ not a bad list I’d remove one but still good 👍
Period
PERIOD!!!!
On my Top 3. Nation of Millions, By All Means Necessary and 3 Feet High.
You had to be there in that time period and experience what we were feeling back then to understand these classics.
It takes a nation of millions to hold back is a masterpiece, PE def in my top 3 groups oat ,mad love from ALGERIA 🇩🇿
When they told stories and important ones
I'm 48 and was in middle school when this came out. My older cousins put me on to Public Enemy. Forever grateful.

Same … 48 my brother put me on to them on their first album 💪🏾💪🏾
One of the hardest songs ever made
Public Enemy is a legendary hip hop group with classics songs that will make you think. He will give “Fight the Power” a 10
He’s not lying, until Illmatic in ‘94, Nation of Millions was the consensus pick for greatest hip-hop album of all time.
Just imagine how this sounded,back in the day in with the systems we had!
So classic, they were the kings..and they are legendary.
What's funny is Flav does lighten things up, but on the another spectrum behind the scenes Flav was a very talented individual with the instrumentation and all... 💯
Y'all were real disrespectful early, but came clean later. That song still describes what happens in our society today. A classic for the ages.
I got a letter from the government the other day, I opened and read it, it said this song was dope!!
Chuck D was a Minister of Hip Hop str8 preaching
Fun fact: You can hear Public Enemy's production influence on Ice Cube's album "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted".
Now this is real rapping .Chuck D is talking about something.
OMGEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! I SCREAMED when I saw the title!! I have always been obsessed with Chuck D and Public Enemy. This my soooooooooooong!!!!!!!! ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

VANGLORIOUS!!!
Fire & Earth and Grand Verbalizer are my two favorites. Brother J is criminally underrated.
@@danielbalboni6804TRUTH
FIGHT THE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!
If your looking for a club banger from PE, I don't think there is one. If you want to raise your level of awareness, then PE is for you! Only song I can think of is "Rebel Without a Pause".
Now you in the right bag!!!
Check out "Rebel without a pause", Public Enemy. This was the track that had the streets on fire!!!
Great Reaction !!! But you got to react to Public Enemy - Fight The Power 🔥🔥🔥 The Full 7 min version video. This is Definitely a guaranteed 10 bro !!! 💯
Featuring Branford Marsalis on that sax
My personal favorite from them
That Isaac Hayes - Hyperbolicsyllabicsesquedalymistic sample for this is iconic!
X-Clan --> Head the word of a brother is another classic
CLASSIC MATERIAL
Hip Hop will never reach these levels agian...
1988 man I remember that year 8th grade going to the 9th. Adidas sweats suit Fila sweats suits Suzuki mini jeeps
My first choice for hardest song ever!
Y'all gotta do "Can't trust it." Classic. 💪😎💯
@@ramanemayberry7176 They already did that one.
This is classic! Greatest producers, The Bomb Squad Hank Shocklee, Eric "Vietnam " Sadler. Public Enemy was the #1 hip hop group in the late 80's and early 90's. I saw Chuck D in the early 2000's doing a spoken word. The up most respect 🙏
My favorite rap group & rapper (Chuck D.). & when they sampled my all time fav (Prince 🎸) on “Brothas gonna work it out” I was hooked fo’ life!
1988 was PACKED with ground breaking albums in hip hop.
That's a damn shame never heard of "Fight The Power"
The best yr in rap history 1988!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Top 3 albums of All Time
Chuck D has one of the most recognizable voices all-time in Hip-Hop. Black Rambo with too much ammo for 32 members in NATO. Deadly dialect of Malcolm X with a Tec. Dr. Kevorkian dissections without next of kin permission. And this joint has some nasty bass. Still bump this ruckus when I do the fitness. PE is top 5 group all-time. For this type of anarchy the cat that resembles Kenan Thompson is not ready like Bronny.
Ali was sentenced to five years in prison. His opposition was on religious grounds. It was overturned.
The Greatest ✊🏾
BEST HIPHOP PRODUCED ALBUM ALLTIME...
Nobody dropped knowledge like PE...
Gotta check Rebel without a Pause by Public Enemy
All your reactions led to this pivotal moment in HipHop.
The legendary P E 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Public Enemy - Welcome to the Terrordome.
Public Enemy #1, Classic album Classic tracks throughout
Chuck D was a Minister of Hip Hop

Mohammed Ali went to prison for not going to the military.
Agree 100%!!!!!
Fight the Power
Real gangsta rap
Ali was sentenced to five years won appeal but was banned for 3 1/2 years
I would have respected a 6 from the young brother!
Y'all should do:
Self Destruction or
“It's funky enough” -D.O.C.
🔥
Youth is wasted on the young.
My walkman killed this cassette in high school..😁
Fire from'88. Ty for this reaction. Keep up the real hip hop classics, by reacting to more early rappers. Also, Ali did time for not enlisting. He was still a n****a, after all. Right? Peace
I damn near thumped your face when you said 2
I like the original ,the last part was change for tv.....😮
It wasn't a good ending. They didn't get away. Chuck D was hung. Go back and watch the end of the video.
The previous PE video y'all reacted to was "Can't Truss It". And if one of you, or both, don't think that was dope then I can't call it.
The song ending and the video ending are different.
There are a lot of cameos of artists in this video.
U.G.K. SAMPLE THIS SONG

React to PUBLIC ENEMY SONG
"BUCK WHYLIN"!!
You had to be in that era to understand Chuck D.
The beat is gangsta rap before gangsta rap came....
Not a rap/hip hop fan to say the least.... PE transcends such labels
Crip n Bloods rather slap their own mama. . Killing for master
Y’all ain’t on Ali’s level, y’all going to jail buddy😂😂😂
