I'm a seventy two year old African American woman, believe it or not the first time I saw this video was in the nineties on BET. And my mother was watching it. She loved Chuck D and Flavor Flav. Her friends thought she was out of her mind! But she was actually ahead of most of us. She saw it as protest music and a history lesson. She died in 2000. Mom you were so right. 😙👍
Mom's just know😁
Momma knows Best 🙏🏾
Mommmaaaaaqa Auntieeeeweee. Roxanne S. You feel latt!!!!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
YES SHE WAS! 🖤
REAL!!!
I am a 64 year old white woman. I love Public Enemy and this album!! ❤ It brings back so many memories! My son, who's now 42, introduced me to this album when he was 10 years old! We'd drive around in our 1987 Hyundai listening to it on the cassette tape! Good times!!! 😊 God bless everyone 🙏
✌️💜🎶~206
I'm a 64 year old black man, just goes to show music is universal, colorless and fascinating for all to enjoy. Right on sista. ✌️.
@@deadbeatproz 🙂 You are absolutely right!!! God bless ❤️
Right on
Kool,but it a lot that not like I that's what make it difficult peace and love from Samuel✌️❤️🙏
I'm a 60 years old french man , i love this music , these bass line, battle words , drums ... That and "fight the power" , the best of hip hop ..
I still rock this song in 2024 and counting. PE was ahead of its time.
Chuck D always gets overlooked in the greatest rappers of all time conversations, the dude was a master of wordplay with strong messages and content behind it. truly a master of the craft.
Chuck D has that Rich Tone to his Rap!
Then why are you here? Haha
RIGHT people here trolling please Rap is about your experience.u think everything is FEEL GOOD music..Than your living on a different planet...Just check the latest news Out...lol🖤✊👊💪😯
@Erich Von Manstein PE was plenty vindictive..apologists for Farrakhan in their lyrics, etc. BUT-at least they had something to say. Not like the Pornographic Gangsta rappers nowadays. Sirius satellite radio dropped Backspin awhile back. And...even when they existed, they played little-if any-Public Enemy.
@Erich Von Manstein NOBODY WANTS 2 HEAR UR COMPLAINING AZZ
No rapper has a more powerful voice than Chuck D. The authority in his tone is unmatched.
Yes Sir
GZA
Paris was also very raw.. his messages were strong.
Paris was epic.
him , krs one, ice cube and ice t
Im a 106 year old Chinese man and i love this song.
😂😂😂😂😂
One of the most powerful song ever written
True that!!!
Fact
Came here to say this. Salute 🫡
yeah
Now ladies and gentlemen. This is the definition of real hip hop. Who agrees with me
ya cant get into it until ya see all the black-on-black slave money!!
This track goes so hard 30+ years later
@@JackBurton3963un-like the garbage today, here today, gone tomorrow.
@@JackBurton3963 the difference today is their using cartoon characters of the Democrats ...like camel harris,
ghettoblaster :)
Chuck D is completely underrated as one of the greatest lyricists in hip-hop.
He is the best,. No doubt.
I would also include Melle Mel and Rakim
before chuck d ,the almighty KRS 1
Let not forget Kool More Dee. Underrated as a lyricist.
terrince autry his flow,delivery, the beat, Flavs perfect timing w/Chuck + the content + context of PEs music nobody's better not back then +definitely no1 can get close now all due respect 2 Nas,Biggie,Pac,Scarface,The Lox, DMX + some others on PEs level but only very few cats worth listening now maybe 2,3
2024 still Cant Truss It!!!
Your Voice, Your Vote.
Flava Flav, the greatest hype-man in US history, hands down, period... 😃
let's go womens polo team USA!
I'm 52 and white. Most of my friends were metal heads. They could never understand how incredible this music was and still is, not to mention the purpose the messages served. There will never be another Chuck D. MAD respect for him and PE. Always has, and always will be one of my favorites. This wasn't about hate, it was about TRUTH.
You'd think with the anthrax crossover they'd get it....
I'm a metalhead and I love P.E. Chuck D is a badass
What does it matter if white men who are not even superior, Asian minds are, still act this stupid childish ignorant way in 2022. Make way for real leaders, let the white men take the back seat and let the real superior strengths and minds rule. We have been civilized 1000s of years before you, which you stole and used for your own engineering. Let the real father's if the land return. There's the Message"METAL HEAD" even your hobbies are immature while we have more knowledge and wisdom to impart to make the world less violent, controlled and at war than what all these 5-600 years has done damage to the world and earth so far. Give it back leave/sit back and let us take less than 600 years to fix your mistakes...how bout that message! 👍
Same age, different ethnicity. Totally loved PE as a youth, had to deal with my relatives getting on my case about the racial angle cause I wasn't black. They didn't get it.
Chuck D and Flav were not about hate as you say, I'm sure they'd also be railing against the complete BS, exploitation, and victim mindset that the BLM scammer scumbags are about these days. We need these old school guys and the REAL anti-establishment movement back. It's not about race morons. It's not about white or black. It's about a broken system and exploitation. There's good and bad on all "sides", and there are no sides, judge people by the content of their character. Anything else deserves brutal scrutiny.
@@mdostay "It's not about race morons. It's not about white or black. It's about a broken system and exploitation." I pray that some day ordinary people get this.
When rap spread knowledge and told stories. Not the trash of today. Blessed to be a 90s survivor!
what does 90s survivor mean?
Amen to that!
@ Corkoth55, Many of us that grew up in an urban environment saw drugs destroy our communities, watched our friends die in front of us at an early age due to gun violence, folks we love go to prison for things that are a slap on the wrist today, not to mention the police brutality(no body cams). Colombian wars, Shower Posse , gunman, Rayful, Alpo, etc. that’s what I mean by survivor. 😎 Peace to you and be well!
You said it. I was born in public housing (things got a little better when we moved into a trailer court) and remember thinking of rappers like Chuck D as heroes who spoke truth to power. I can't even imagine what kind of kid today would look at the "rappers" whose acts seems to consist entirely of bragging about wealth they often don't even actually have as role models...
"Quarter million dollars on a handjob..." (actual rap lyric from a guy so lame he apparently needs to spend a king's ransom to convince a woman to touch him.)
P.S.
I needed the Rap Critic to tell me about that because I don't even bother listening to Hip Hop these days. It's been so long since I've heard anything new and good (Ice Cube - Good Cop Bad Cop) that I don't even try.
Right on
Omg. These guys spitting real stuff not talking about their bank accts big booties just Good stuff right here...
Yeah man we needed more of this instead of the gangsta stuff that dominated later
Chuck never seem to make people’s top 10 rappers but for me he’s in the top 3 of all time pe#1
True
To this day no one can flow like Chuck.
totally!and he sounds like he means without being preachy
His voice but also he doesn't like to commercialize his music
Because he remained true to his message-He never sold out.
This generation will never understand how DOPE the 90's were. ✌🏾
Edit: 80's and 90's 👍🏾
I was born in 2003 and I love this
Droppin that science..
2006 and I love it.
P.s: my father showed me this
But did you get the message 👀
Best Era for hip-hop, public enemy had the best album early in the 90s, it takes a nation to hold us back
Wrong Album..87/88, 'Fear of a black planet' or 'Apocalypse 91' for early 90s👍
It's not just a great a song, but a historical fact, that more people should know about,
This song has become more relevant than ever. They want to work us all until we die.
Chuck, Terminator X, Griff , Flav & the Bomb Squad. Legendary.
Flava -The greatest hype-man of all time.
So true...
Hype men:
Tony Yayo
Vinny from Naughty by Nature.
Spliff Star from flip mode.
You aint never lie, the ultimate hype man
Kick it
@@wecall3rdeye305 Vinny actually rapped his ass off too😁
Busta rhymes
Chuck D one of the most underrated MC's of all time.
Chuck D will allways be remembered as one of the best MCs. Maybe underrated by mass-media, But we know that he is like the incarnation of Martin Luther King
Easily.✌🏾
th-cam.com/video/f3a_si4A1vQ/w-d-xo.html
i'd put Guru in there as well
whos underrating him!?
Your assessment is right on point!!!!
Chuck goes on a rampage from 2:45 for almost 2 straight minutes. Incredible.
Happy 64th Birthday Flavor Flav!(Born March 16, 1959)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂👍🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Chuck's flow is legendary 🎤30 years later and this song is still relevant 🤬God bless Public Enemy#1💪
Absolutely!
@@paulaannstewartTHANKFUL2024 Thank you Paula🙏
Do you know why this song is still Relevant , Cause no much has changed
I like the part where he says that the common day judge would have been the ship's captain back then and I understand that comparison thoroughly.
Chuck is good.... Chuck is wise.
Still bring tears to my eyes almost 30yrs later. This is my Hip Hop!
It sounds even better today. Peace.
Time flew 2019 still love this public enemy
KRS one too
Amen brother!
I'm chinese american and its my 2nd time watching it. Finally found it again. 1st was in a blockbuster video in the 90s and was totally surprised by this music. I wasn't into rap, but seen rum dmc's famous video with aerosmith on TV. I didn't have cable or much money to buy records back then.
I dont understand how Chuck D seems to b overlooked. Definitely batman and robin of hip hop. Chuck D and Flavor
He's not over looked, he's just not looked at with them. Chuck D, KRS, Rakim, BDK, etc..are just looked at differently.
This is a masterpiece. 90s will never come back
Chuck D is the ULTIMATE Brotha.
The *total* package.
LadySoul502 😘
Chuckie D is one of the best rappers to ever live.
Chuck D is one of the greatest rappers of all time. In terms of voice, subject matter and technical ability he is masterful. His is the voice of an avenging God - masterful.
🤔😉🙏
No doubt
It's like god made him to change things and make the world fair
well said
2024 and still relevant
I didn't realize Chuck D lyrical skills were this complex and dope
this wasn't their best album, but for me this specific song was the pinnacle. on point all the way through. rather than a lot of rapping about how they are rapping (which was fine. but this song was another level)
Flav is the best hype man All time!
+b7k1l8yn You damn right !!! You know what time it is...PEACE !!!
Yes, for some reason people underestimate him, he is a very intelligent man
That terminator X production tho😮🔥 this bumps, true pioneers
"You mean the Bomb Squad production" 🔥
It's 2023 - I'm 51 years old and I can't believe I remembered every, single lyric to this song from thirty years ago. That kind of amazes me how the brain works that way.
I'm latino born in El Salvador been in Cali since 1989 LEGALLY and let me tell you this song is THE SHIT 💪💪💪 !!!!
The most important Hip Hop group ever. They were to me.
seriously, there's PE, and there's everybody else.
All the rest of us too.
Don't forget KRS-1
I'm a 55 year old white lady and I bumped this cassette in my Camaro in the 80's. Still love Flav.
This would be a crafty campaign video for the Democrats in an effort to Race-Bait??
80's when it came in 91😂😂😂
stop lying and looking for clout stfu
55 year old white lady this songs for you ..cant truss ya
As a metalhead I can really appriciate Public Enemy. Real Hip Hop about real things. Fight the power!
Ditto.
Anthrax are who got me into PE & that was BEFORE they collaborated together.
Deinem Kommentar habe ich nichts hinzuzufügen ... als der Hip Hop noch echt und "schön" war! Greetings from a metalhead of Westfalia ... 🙂
What happened to our music? This song bumps WITH a message.
+Traye76 I was just watching Harder Than You think and this followed it. Damn! I think my musical evolution is gonna step up. I need to get this! Im usually 20 years behind in times for music
what
+Philip Wood Yup. They want it that way. Dumb the masses so we don't wake up.
+Philip Wood hey Philip mate just want to say you speak a lot of sense and respect to you for that
I can believe what I hear sometime, sound like big publicity or porn on the phone.
How many of you actually watched this video and came away pissed? Why has no one analyzed this as they did This is America? God bless PE and the director who published this.
58yr old Mexican from southern California and I still bump this and peeps look at me all crazy like wtf he on?only if they knew real music
Its more than a song
Don't underestimate the importance of the PE-movement
This . is . Real . Hip . Hop!
Blahaha
"THE HATER TAUGHT HATE. THAT'S WHY WE GANG BANGING!!"
As a 31 year old who grew up with parents who had me listening to 80s and 90s rap and r&b i appreciate this era of music
We need more of this so bad right now in 2023 ✊🏾
America can't handle the truth of her evil wicked deeds, check out killer of the flower moon 😢
That's just it Bro these great songs and days in time were a Great time but Long gone never to return. So Sad but true...
Man, Chuck D was one hell of a writer. Let's give flowers to these dudes while they still alive! Salute Public Enemy!
Chuck D has the best rap voice period and Flavor Flav was the best hype man ever.
I bought this album casette 1991...
Chuck D won’t bow down either; that’s why I love him
Me too, sophomore year in high school. Fkn amazing
Back when rap featured a message about bad stuff going on, not bad language about nothing.
You forgot the dope Terminator X's scratching
Yesssss indeed Long Island NY... And I've met them in the neighborhood soooo many times in Freeport and Roosevelt and they are really what you see ...chill and down to Earth
Chuck was a guest on my podcast in 2014. He loves the Pittsburgh Pirates.
In 2023 and still can't truss it
This is one of the greatest songs in music history period. Chuck D. is top five, dead or alive imho
U got that shit right
i dont know about all that. He had great beats. lyrically though... meh
@@KARASCOUSIN u dont know hip hop beat it
@@grellimichael Righhht. Chuck D not even top 5 in the 80's, let alone in history. Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, KRS1, LL Cool J, Ice Cube. Chuck D cant even tie these men their shoes to be in top 5, and still we got Kool G Rap, Guru, Slick Rick, Q-Tip. above him... this is before we bring up the golden age of hip hop the 90's. Chuck D has a hard time trying to break the top 20's... just cause you started listening to hip hop last year, doesnt mean you know much.
@@KARASCOUSIN i said its my opinion. It takes a nation of million is the best hip hop album of all time. And I never trust a guys list that doesn't include Kool G. Rap. Bye for Now
There was an explosion of talented music artists in the 80s. PE is definitely among the top rap groups of ALL TIME.
🤚WITNESS!!!
Wicked. Wicked man.
Top 5...Wu Tang, ATCQ, P.E., Outkast, NWA
Absolutely... of _any_ genre!
Goats public enemy
This song and video is your history and present.
Now very relevant for different reasons!
I wonder what would happen if this was on mainstream radio today...God knows this generation of people need it
They need Public Enemy's genius but the whole racism slavery thing is being flogged to death by the leftist media and Hollywood. They need to realise it's not 100 years ago any more.
T Moz they would get punched liked a Redd Foxx Ed O’Neil Richard Pryor Carol Conner. Folks to sensitive
Back when music taught you about real life lessons and relevency
I'm 52 years old I remember first time hearing this banging tune makes hairs on my arms stand lol banging
THE HARDEST HIP-HOP VIDEO EVER!!! Period ✊🏿
“We thank Flavor Flav for his years of service and wish him well”. I'm here in 2020.
Did you see the new joint that's a cartoon video with the Rap Legends featured in it including Flav?

From wikipedia:
On March 1, 2020, Public Enemy released a statement saying that the group would be "moving forward without Flavor Flav," following a disagreement over the group's decision to endorse Bernie Sanders and perform at his Los Angeles rally.[9][11] Flavor Flav denounced the firing, maintaining that he was Chuck D's partner in Public Enemy and could therefore not be fired from it. On April 1, 2020, Chuck D announced that the firing was a hoax.[12] Flavor Flav stated shortly thereafter that he was not a part of the hoax and disapproved of the stunt.[13]
I'm not even American and I'm not black but I admire these guys so much
The struggle is the struggle of proletariat not of the blacks, americans or africans, the opressed people vs. opressors from all countries with all skin colors.

One of the most powerful songs and videos ever made.
Agreed
Tell me about it. Content apart the gray coloring adds to the quality.
PE’s contributions to the culture and the B1 struggle will always be recognized and appreciated. Salute to them!
It's 2019 and we still can't truss it.
Trust none
Can't trust Trump
No no we can't
Hell no, we still can't truss it and never will!
Cant trust todays rap is more like it bring back public enemy
This was one of my cousin Jermaine's favorite songs from his favorite group. He used to make me listen to Public Enemy but I was a little too young to understand.
Now, I understand.
They're lyrics and style make you roll with the beat but gives you chill by its powerful message,
But true 👍 😌 🙂 😁
2023. Still Can't Truss it!!!
30 years later. Sadly, more relevant than ever. Tell 'em Chuck.
To a degree true, but most of it is self imposed 30 years later. We have no excuse compared to those 60 and older
Where's his part? Was he even younger in this video? I saw shockG/Humpty and 2pac and that other guy with the hat and lokes, is that Chuck?
Hell yeah it is I just left a job after 9yrs working for them this is still the way they think about us do want I say boy
Word!!!!
aint that the truth,
That is a deep video. Still can't truss it. Never have, NEVER WILL.
Public enemy was ahead of their time. It's 2024 and thier music is still relevant. I grew up on this music.
Chuck D and MC Lyte got two of the most unique voices in rap, no one sounds likely to em
No Bentley's in theses vids, just straight consciousness .
nycbball8 before they had big budget music videos
that's why the gov. knew they Had to kill the good music........now look what we have.....SAD

No truer words have been spoken
Before you change a thing you have to understand the situation. W traders didn't buy b slvs from thin air, they bought them from b afr leaders, so b were participant and instrumental in the trade of their own ppl across the Atlantic. B men k ten-twenty times as many b men as cops do in the US.
Still listening in 2024 👏
One of my fav drum breaks and DJ's all time: Take it away Code!
One of the most powerful pieces of art ever! The lyrics paint a colorful image and a glimpse into the horrors of slavery.
very very powerful message
Slavery still exists strong as ever . Spread the word
@aarronroberts811 Slavery has always existed and continues strong today. It is not exclusive to the US. It is everywhere, all colors and races and ages.

Odd comment.....
I don't get this Liz reference...
They need to play this now on the radio!!!
yes definitely 👍
I'm so glad I grew up in the 80s and the 90s because we all came together as a people are relatives were strong now we have to be the strong ones they will never play this on radio because it's too real but this was an awesome and wonderful message that they were pressing in our young minds that's why I never forgot this song everything that happened back then is happening now all over again it's just a vicious cycle
They won't smh they play stupid drake instead
Or in clubs they don't play old school
They would never allow that to happen now. This video wouldn't have gotten made today. Are we in the future or the past?
This song is like a dissertation on racism and the history of Black people in America.
Exactly why Chuck is a professor teaching college courses at prestigious schools.
@Dominique Hardie whites are his main audience, have been for years. He teaches "Fight the Power" not hate the whites. Innovator of mixing rock and hip hop. Check the mash up with P.E. and Anthrax. Come on bro. Know the history.
World Racism.
@Dominique Hardie ,if teaching American history and the treatment of Black people is considered "racist" then that's for you to reconcile. Not for us.
Absolutely. I think the situation has improved since the Vietnam War days. I mean, I couldn't believe the racism as a New Zealand soldier. Like two different armies, a black one and a white one. As for the Japanese soldiers there...
Chuck D is the greatest hip hop vocalist in the history of rap and Public Enemy one of the best all time groups. PE was provocative, political, controversial, and hyper intelligent, and coming out of the 90s they were practically the only hardcore rap group NOT calling women bitches and hoes but instead talking about real issues of equality justice and historical wrongs
I’m Bosnian and I remember blasting this on a tape recorded in my room when it came out.
2020 and this song is still relevant.
Yeah
True
Fax
Hell yeah it is!!!!!!
Scary true
This and "Burn Hollywood Burn" will remain relevant for generations.
Damn, this song hits hard on its own, but along with the video... Respect. ❤
30 years later and i still have tears of anger in my eyes watching this video
Chuck D is one of the greatest rappers of all time....End of Discussion.....
TRUE
I guess that wasn't the end of it then.
HE IS!!!
🐐
No argument there.
We need PE today now more than ever. At 13, 14 years old I was more socially conscience than most because of PE. When I expose my son to Hip Hop, I play him stuff like KRS-ONE and BDP, PE, A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, etc... I want him to be strong and man enough to think with his own mind, regardless of what's popular or how others think of him.
Salute i do the same with my daughter
You right on that
That's how it goes and should be. P.E. No.1!
I think white people should listen to Public Enemy to history and rethink that get over line they always say.
You're serving your son great knowledge. Keep him away from mumble drug and sex "rap"
Years ago he would have been a Ships Captain! I heard that Chuck D! Miss my childhood.
Chuck D one of the best lyricist EVER!..He had substance to his raps ...Listen to him.
Lyrically sound conscious rappers like this couldn't get a deal today. Dummied down garbage is what we have now..
Hersey Berry bro, Hopsin, Joey Bada$$, Blu, do you just listen to the radio?
You have to find them on Sound Cloud.
Nope. Listen to kendrick lamar, or outcast etc. There are many woke MCs.
You can still find real artists but you have to look. That's the problem. They're pushing garbage onb the mainstream.
@Hersey Berry Nuff-said
