Public Enemy rocked so many arenas and stages around the world
An extra hype reaction 📡! Flava Flav was the group's "hype man" on stage and is considered to be the greatest "hype man" of all time in Hip-Hop. He takes the edge off of PE's hard core messages. I see 👁👁you have reacted to Public Enemy before: Night Of The Living Baseheads, Brothers Gonna Work It Out, Fight The Power, Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos, Can't Truss It, Shut 'Em Down and 911 Is A Joke. Don't Believe The Hype was released as the third single from Public Enemy's 1988 album: It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back. It was written by Flavor Flav, Chuck D and The Bomb Squad. It was produced by The Bomb Squad. The song reached #18 on the R&B chart and #21 on the Dance Club chart. No info on the music video is available.
The song sampled: Synthetic Substitution by Melvin Bliss (1973), Escape-Ism by James Brown (1971), I Got Ants In My Pants by James Brown (1972), Catch A Groove by Juice (1976), Fugitive by Whodini (1986), Silly Rabbit Trix Are for Kids by The Trix Rabbit And The Trix Kids (1954) and Do The Funky Penguin (Live) by Rufus Thomas (1973).
The song was conceived because of backlash Public Enemy received for their 1987 debut single: "Public Enemy No 1". Most notably, they seemed to be responding to a radio DJ named Mr Magic for the station WBLS in their hometown of New York. After helping premiere the track on his show, Mr. Magic had nothing nice to say about Public Enemy’s coming out party of a song. “I was just asking the fellas, what’s the name of the record? ‘Public Enemy’. Who’s it by? ‘Public Enemy’. The beat is dope, but the rapping is kinda weak”. the DJ said on-air. "Let’s not go through that no more, it ruins the program… I guarantee you, no more music by the suckas".
Additionally, Chuck D has noted several times that “Don’t Believe The Hype” is also inspired by left-wing political commentator Noam Chomsky, who authored the famous book: "Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy Of The Mass Media", which came out the same year as the song. In the book, Noam Chomsky and co-author Edward S Herman talk about how mass media in the US shape narratives with propaganda and influence groupthink.
“Anybody who knows me really well or cares knows I wrote Don’t Believe The Hype a bit influenced by Noam Chomsky Manufacturing Consent in the 80s”, Chuck D said in a tweet from 2021.
The essence of the book surely transferred into Chuck D’s lyrics in the three verses of “Don’t Believe The Hype”, where he paints the media as an adversary to Public Enemy because of their overly negative coverage of the group:
In the daytime radio’s scared of me
‘Cause I’m mad, plus I’m the enemy
They can’t come on and play me in prime time
‘Cause I know the time, ’cause I’m getting mine
I get on the mix late in the night
The song is featured in the 2006 video game 🎮: "Scarface: The World Is Yours".
The song has been featured in the films-documentaries 📽: 13th (2016) and Independent Media In A Time Of War (2003).
Lyrics 📝:
Back
Caught you lookin' for the same thing
It's a new thing, check out this I bring
Uh Oh the roll below the level
'Cause I'm livin' low next to the bass, c'mon
Turn up the radio
They claim that I'm a criminal
By now I wonder how
Some people never know
The enemy could be their friend, guardian
I'm not a hooligan
I rock the party and
Clear all the madness, I'm not a racist
Preach to teach to all
'Cause some they never had this
Number one, not born to run
About the gun
I wasn't licensed to have one
The minute they see me, fear me
I'm the epitome, a public enemy
Used, abused without clues
I refused to blow a fuse
They even had it on the news
Don't believe the hype
Yes
Was the start of my last jam
So here it is again, another def jam
But since I gave you all a little something
That we knew you lacked
They still consider me a new jack
All the critics you can hang 'em
I'll hold the rope
But they hope to the pope
And pray it ain't dope
The follower of Farrakhan
Don't tell me that you understand
Until you hear the man
The book of the new school rap game
Writers treat me like Coltrane, insane
Yes to them, but to me I'm a different kind
We're brothers of the same mind, unblind
Caught in the middle and
Not surrenderin'
I don't rhyme for the sake of of riddlin'
Some claim that I'm a smuggler
Some say I never heard of 'ya
A rap burglar, false media
We don't need it do we?
It's fake that's what it be to 'ya, dig me?
Don't believe the hype
Don't believe the hype, its a sequel
As an equal, can I get this through to you
My 98's boomin' with a trunk of funk
All the jealous punks can't stop the dunk
Comin' from the school of hard knocks
Some perpetrate, they drink Clorox
Attack the black, 'cause I know they lack exact
The cold facts, and still they try to Xerox
Leader of the new school, uncool
Never played the fool, just made the rules
Remember there's a need to get alarmed
Again I said I was a timebomb
In the daytime the radio's scared of me
'Cause I'm mad, plus I'm the enemy
They can't c'mon and play with me in primetime
'Cause I know the time, plus I'm gettin' mine
I get on the mix late in the night
They know I'm livin' right, so here go the mike, sike
Before I let it go, don't rush my show
You try to reach and grab and get elbowed
Word to herb, yo if you can't swing this
Just a little bit of the taste of the bass for you
As you get up and dance at the LQ
When some deny it, defy if I swing bolos
Then they clear the lane I go solo
The meaning of all of that
Some media is the whack
You believe it's true, it blows me through the roof
Suckers, liars get me a shovel
Some writers I know are damn devils
For them I say don't believe the hype
Yo Chuck, they must be on a pipe, right?
Their pens and pads I'll snatch
'Cause I've had it
I'm not an addict fiendin' for static
I'll see their tape recorder and grab it
No, you can't have it back silly rabbit
I'm going' to my media assassin
Harry Allen, I gotta ask him
Yo Harry, you're a writer, are we that type?
Don't believe the hype
I got flavor and all those things you know
Yeah boy, part two bum rush and show
Yo Griff, get the green black red and
Gold down countdown to Armageddon
88 you wait the S1Ws will
Rock the hard jams, treat it like a seminar
Teach the bourgeois, and rock the boulevard
Some say I'm negative
But they're not positive
But what I got to give
The media says this
Public Enemy Info 📰:
Public Enemy was formed in 1985 by Carlton Ridenhour (Chuck D) and William Drayton (Flavor Flav), who met at New York, Long Island's Adelphi University in the mid-1980s. Developing his talents as an MC with Flav while delivering furniture for his father's business, Chuck D And Spectrum City, as the group was called, released the record "Check Out The Radio", a social commentary album. Rick Rubin, President of Def Jam Records, eventually sign Chuck D, whose song "Public Enemy Number One" he had heard and loved. Chuck D recruited Spectrum City, which included Hank Shocklee, his brother Keith Shocklee, and Eric "Vietnam" Sadler, collectively known as the Bomb Squad, to be his production team and added another Spectrum City partner, Professor Griff, to become the group's Minister of Information. With the addition of Flavor Flav and a local DJ named Terminator X, the group Public Enemy was born.
Public Enemy rose to prominence for their political messages including subjects such as racism and media biases. Their debut album: Yo! Bum Rush The Show, was released in 1987 to critical acclaim, and their second album: It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back (1988), was the first hip hop album to top The Village Voice's Pazz & Jop critics' poll. Their next three albums: Fear Of A Black Planet (1990), Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black (1991) and Muse Sick-n-Hour Mess Age (1994), were also well received. Public Enemy's 1991 album: Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black, won the 1992 Soul Train Award for Best Rap Album. The group has since released twelve more studio albums, including the soundtrack to the 1998 Spike Lee directed film: He Got Game, a collaboration album with Bay Area rapper Paris: Rebirth Of A Nation (2006) and their most recent album: What You Gonna Do When The Grid Goes Down? (2020).
Public Enemy has gone through many lineup changes over the years, with Chuck D and Flavor Flav remaining the only constant members. Co-founder Professor Griff left in 1989 but rejoined in 1998, before parting ways again some years later. DJ Lord also joined Public Enemy in 1998 as the replacement of the group's original DJ Terminator X.
Public Enemy's first four albums during the late 1980s and early 1990s were all certified either gold or platinum and were, according to music critic Robert Hilburn in 1998, "the most acclaimed body of work ever by a hip hop act". Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine called them "the most influential and radical band of their time".

In 2005, Public Enemy received a MOBO Award for "Outstanding Contribution To Black Music". Chuck D narrated and appeared on-camera for the 2005 PBS documentary "Harlem Globetrotters: The Team That Changed The World". He apeared on-camera for the PBS program Independent Lens segment: "Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats And Rhymes", in 2006.
Public Enemy was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2013. Also, they were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at the 62nd Grammy Awards in 2020.
The Source ranked Chuck D at No. 12 on its list of the Top 50 Hip-Hop Lyricists of All Time.
In 2024, Chuck D as a solo artist and with Public Enemy still puts out new music and continues to tour with a Public Enemy group line-up consisting of: Chuck D, Flavor Flav, DJ Lord, Sammy Sam and a live band.
Miscellaneous Note 🗂:
Flavor Flav is a classically trained pianist. When the group was on tour, he would often play the pianos in the hotel lobbies - folks who would stop and listen would be shocked to see him playing classical music on the piano.
Public Enemy Legacy And Influence ⚔:
Public Enemy made contributions to the Hip-Hop world with sonic experimentation as well as political and cultural consciousness, which infused itself into skilled and poetic rhymes. Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that "PE brought in elements of free Jazz, hard Funk, even musique concrète, via their music producing team The Bomb Squad, creating a dense, ferocious sound unlike anything that came before". Public Enemy held a strong, pro-black, political stance. Before PE, politically motivated Hip-Hop was defined by a few tracks by Ice-T, Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five, Kurtis Blow and Boogie Down Productions. Other politically motivated opinions were shared by prototypical artists Gil Scott-Heron and The Last Poets. PE was a revolutionary Hip-Hop act whose entire image rested on a specified political stance. With the successes of Public Enemy, many Hip-Hop artists began to celebrate Afrocentric themes, such as Kool Moe Dee, Gang Starr, X Clan, Eric B & Rakim, Queen Latifah, The Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Brand Nubian and many more.
Public Enemy was one of the first Hip-Hop groups to do well internationally. PE changed the Internet's music distribution capability by being one of the first groups to release MP3-only albums, a format virtually unknown at the time.
Public Enemy helped to create and define "rap metal" by collaborating with Living Colour in 1988 on the song: "Funny Vibe", with Sonic Youth on the 1990 song: "Kool Thing", and with New York thrash metal outfit Anthrax in 1991 on the song: "Bring The Noize", a remix of their 1987 single: "Bring The Noise". The 1991 Anthrax collaboration was a mix of semi-militant black power lyrics, grinding guitars, and sporadic humor. The two bands, cemented by a mutual respect and the personal friendship between Chuck D and Anthrax's Scott Ian, introduced a hitherto alien genre to Rock fans, and the two seemingly disparate groups toured together. Flavor Flav's pronouncement on stage that "They said this tour would never happen" (as heard on Anthrax's Live: The Island Years CD) has become a legendary comment in both Rock and Hip-Hop circles. Metal guitarist Vernon Reid (of Living Colour) contributed to Public Enemy's recordings, and PE sampled Slayer's song: "Angel Of Death" half-time riff on their song: "She Watch Channel Zero?!"
Members of The Bomb Squad produced or remixed works for other acts, like Bell Biv DeVoe, Ice Cube, Vanessa Williams, Sinéad O'Connor, Blue Magic, Peter Gabriel, LL Cool J, Paula Abdul, Jasmine Guy, Jody Watley, Eric B & Rakim, Third Bass, Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, Chaka Khan and more. According to Chuck D, "We had tight dealings with MCA Records and were talking about taking three guys that were left over from New Edition and coming up with an album for them. The three happened to be Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe, later to become Bell Biv DeVoe. Ralph Tresvant had been slated to do a solo album for years, Bobby Brown had left New Edition and experienced some solo success beginning in 1988, and Johnny Gill had just been recruited to come in, but he had come off a solo career and could always go back to that. At MCA records, Hiram Hicks, who was their manager, and Louil Silas, who was running the show, were like, "Yo, these kids were left out in the cold. Can y'all come up with something for them?" It was a task that Hank, Keith, Eric, and I took on to try to put some kind of hip-hop-flavored R&B shit down for them. Subsequently, what happened in the four weeks of December (1989) was that The Bomb Squad knocked out a large piece of the production and arrangement on Bell Biv DeVoe's three-million selling album: Poison. In January (1990), they knocked out the album: Fear Of A Black Planet, in four weeks, and PE knocked out Ice Cube's debut solo album: AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, in four to five weeks in February". They have also produced local New York talent including: Son Of Bazerk, Young Black Teenagers, Leaders Of The New School, Kings Of Pressure and True Mathematics, and gave music producer Kip Collins his start in the business.
The revolutionary influence of the group is seen throughout Hip-Hop and is recognized in society and politics. The band "rewrote the rules of Hip-Hop", changing the image, sound and message forever. Pro-black lyrics brought political and social themes to hardcore Hip-Hop, with stirring ideas of racial equality, and retribution against police brutality, aimed at disenfranchised blacks, but appealing to all the poor and underrepresented. Before Public Enemy, Hip-Hop music was seen predominately as "throwaway entertainment". Public Enemy brought social relevance and strength to Hip-Hop. They also brought black activist Louis Farrakhan to greater popularity, and they gave impetus to the Million Man March in 1995.
The influence of the band goes also beyond Hip-Hop in a unique way, indeed the group was cited as an influence by artists as diverse as Autechre (selected in the All Tomorrow's Parties in 2003), Nirvana (It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back being cited by Kurt Cobain among his favorite albums), Moby (also selected It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back as one of his favorite albums), Nine Inch Nails (mentioned the band in Pretty Hate Machine credits), Björk (included Rebel Without a Pause in her The Breezeblock Mix in July 2007), Tricky (did a cover of Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos and appears in Do You Wanna Go Our Way ??? video), The Prodigy (included Public Enemy No. 1 in The Dirtchamber Sessions Volume One), Ben Harper, Underground Resistance (cited by both Mad Mike and Jeff Mills), Orlando Voorn, M.I.A., Amon Tobin, Mathew Jonson, Aphex Twin (Welcome To The Terrordome being the first track played after the introduction at the Coachella Festival in April 2008), Rage Against the Machine (sampling the track in their song "Renegades Of Funk"), Porcupine Tree's Fear Of A Blank Planet and My Bloody Valentine who was influenced by The Bomb Squad's production for their sound.
