Correction. This is Hip Hop. What they try to pass off today as Hip Hop is what we call Rap. Anyone can rap just ask Captain Crunch, Fred Flintstone, Ice Spice etc.
I was at Virginia Beach when the riot happened. It was crazy watching it happen. This video was in response to that. It’s hard to believe it’s been over 30 years!
Police didn't cause the riot despite what this soft woke wants us to believe. Don't expect those who made this soft woke video that acts like there wasn't any good reason why the town residents didn't like those who came to spring break there didn't cause a ruckus. There's a reason Miami Beach doesn't want those who started the riot here to come to Miami. Oh how come I can't find any songs from PE addressing KKK Planned Parenthood and gun control racist origins and why 80% of KKK Planned Parenthood abortion on demand clinics are in Black communities. Oh wait they like Buying Large Mansions BLM are KKK Planned Parenthood biggest supporters. WTF?
Chuck is a preacher/teacher. As a “narrow ass white boy in the south” this dude blew my mind open with the truth about shit, as well as the beats and rhythmic layers that the Bomb Squad layer down…helped to fuel my musical endeavors. No one can touch the mighty PE in my opinion. The pinnacle…
God this beat is the stuff of legends. It's such a great example of the influence and timeless quality the Bomb Squad had. They made Prince's guitar feedback sound good, and threw in some Melvin Bliss and George Clinton for good measure. There is a solid argument to be made for this being the best Public Enemy song.
This video just encourages division among the people. Bad cops and good people come in All colors. Any music/music/art that promotes media narratives and does not focus on encouraging people of all colors to come together to govern themselves, is propaganda.
Jesus imagine being a white kid about 12 years old who obsessed with hip hop starting the late 80s and hearing the great music like this. PE was the absolute leaders of hip hop ar this point-everything they dropped had such power. This beat and message was absolute fire. And the video was a response to excessive police force used on black college students partying in VA Beach. Arguably one their best songs

This vid bring back some memories! I used to rock the African medallions heavy back in the day, when this classic P.E. joint first dropped. Those were the days 👌🏾💯
My friends and I were at this incident, and witnessed/experienced the harrassment without provocation. We appreciated this video which chronicled and made public this terrible event. 🔥🙏🏼
Chuck D is in his 60s now and I'm 48. To this day this man is my HERO! I didn't jump on the bandwagon when It Takes A Nation, dropped. I was a fan since Yo! Chuck made me THINK, he made me WANT to learn who the people were behind names like Farrakhan, Chesimard, Vesey, etc. I was in the 10th grade in 88 and while I loved my school, they weren't teaching me about my TRUED kulcha. More to learn about than slavery, MLK, etc. I am ashamed to say I didn't even know who Malcolm was (another hero of mine) Chuck was the reason I became a Black Nationalist and me being an adult I don't feel I have to clarify, "I'm a Black Nationalist, but I'm NOT a RAYSIS!" Think what ya want to! Peace to the 98 Posse!
Let me see ya license? Beat was thumpin.... One of the greatest rap intro's ever & One of PE's best joints that don't get the pub it deserves. Peep the message. Drop It!
This song and all their songs are still relevant today. Beats don’t go nasty like this anymore 😢 🔥 bomb squad, lord, flave n Chuck D and everybody just went crazy on these records. These songs put me in a trance every time
I came here to say pretty much this. Crazy how ahead of the time they were. They knew that the only way to hold police accountable was for the public to be able to record them.
Straight punk Seriously I was into punk and metal and PE instantly appealed to me. They are heavy as fuck and telling truth the system doesn't want us to hear
Straight DC Hardcore Punk. But PE (and Beastie Boys) are my favorite Hip-Hop group. A big Slayer fan (13 times live), which Rick Rubin also produced and Kerry King played A lot of the guitar riffs on PE's 1st 4 albums. Early DefJam was a great label.
The best track of the album "fear of a black planet", with also "fight the power"!! Timeless track with the same social problems! PUBLIC ENEMY N°1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was a racial incident that happened in 1989 in Virginia Beach VA. A lot of the beach goers were college students (kids) who are now in their fifties and still haunted by these attacks to this very day
@@Jacksonrox13 it was an event called the Greek fest in 1989. The national guards were called in because they were getting complaints of black kids partying on the beach. th-cam.com/video/RckiPzwYX1U/w-d-xo.html
Remembered when the Greekfest massacre in Va Beach popped off. And yes i going to call it a massacre! Was 14 years old living in Hampton at the time. The tension was so thick in the air, was waiting for something else to jump off!! Crazy times!!
Street music for street people! Cheers from a lover of real (!) hip hop in Sweden! Happy new year folks - and take good care will you! Jesus Christ! We are not alone - at all! I'm 59! This very tune is the bomb! Peace - and love! God bless!
Love this video. Hell I love PE. If they music dont make you wanna get up and do something you dont have any soul. Chuck D is criminally underrated. And I love the S1Ws, especially how they was running on the beach. Shoutout to PE
Fear of a Black Planet is an album that should be held alongside Sgt. Pepper, Dark Side of the Moon, Pet Sounds and all the other greatest records. It’s a masterpiece
PE is the greatest hip hop crew of all time.. the knowledge in the songs the powerful beats Chuck D strong voice and Flav (the greatest hype man ever)had dope rhymes Terminator X on the tables and the S1W's holding it all down
This is rap music, not the garbage we have today.
When you got an education along with a song
Real talk!

This is more than music

The prince guitar sample is incredible
The best group of all time
SALUTE TO THE BROTHERS IN ALABAMA 💯✊🏿

We need hip hop to make a come back this is real music knowledge and power
Absolutely !!
Grime has been doing a good job of filling this gap atm, at least if you live in the UK. Kano is a BOSS.

Chuck D: “Soon you will see what I’m talking about!” 👏🏾
Hahahah
I wasn’t alive at their prime but I can feel their lines, I don’t think there will be another amazing conscious hip hop group like public enemy 😢
Public Enemy never wasted a video, their videos always added more content to the song.

We're living in a de - sensatised society. Songs like this unfortunately don't make enough noise for people to realise anymore.
Disintegrated

It's because nobody cares about any life philosophies anymore, it's just all for the fame and popularity to be validated by others.
