The most powerful HIP HOP group of all time, hands down!!! In my generation, this group unquestionably challenged all mainstream ideals and provided a sense of pride in the Black community that has left a lasting impact on my life to this very day... Not knowing who Malcolm X was as a youth until reaching the age of 21 made me weep with sadness as well as disdain for a system and society too blind to realize it's value and importance in instilling significance of pride and harmony that could cause those that are choosing the WRONG PATH of Life to possibly choose the RIGHT one... How long will we allow our minds to receive nonsense, and promote the ultimate destruction of us all, if we don't change our thoughts towards one another. I love ALL Mankind, and my heart is heavy that we haven't figured out that this is the only way to prevent our extinction. PUBLIC ENEMY shall always be the voice of social injustices, and I will be a fan and followers until I am not longer on this Earth ONE

29:25 Griff said it. Not just young black dudes..When I was In HIgh School, I saw an interview where Chuck D said he didn’t “need” alcohol. I never started drinking and to this day haven’t. Because someone I admired said something bold like that, I modeled myself after him in that aspect. No substances of any kind. Also, I became a teacher, and I project my voice in class like Chuck, intentionally. His bravery goes beyond the black community. He’s just a hell of a guy. Saw him speak at a bookstore once. Wow. What a presence. I also produce rock music like the Bomb Squad. Big fan. I told Chuck this and he dug it.

One of the most important hip hop groups of all time. I listened to PE music for at least a year straight when I found them. Every. Day. Chuck D educated me and a lot of folks in a very important part of our history that NONE of us were being educated on in our our BS schools. This empowered so many of my friends and being a punk rocker at the time, I felt the same bond with PE and their message and music that I did with my punk rock. Question everything and unite, we're bigger than the powers that be. Remember that. All my love to PE, thank you for doing what you do and for having the courage to speak the truth for all to hear!

I grew up in the suburbs raised by a mom who grew up in the country in an all white area. My mom bought me Fear of a Black Planet when I was 12 because that's what I wanted for my birthday. She was never racist but was just uneducated about the struggles of people of color in this country. I credit my open minded mother and her willingness to not censor what her son wanted to listen to for helping form my core beliefs when it comes to where I want to live, what I believe about human rights, and how I vote. My public schooling wasn't teaching me about the history of the struggles of people of color. I credit the music I listened to, especially PE, for showing me there's more out there than what I was taught in school. I thank god this group exists.

The reach of public enemy’s message should not be underestimated . I was introduced to PE by a black friend when I was very young - I learnt a lot about black history ,black culture, black struggle . They gave me an education and fundamentally changed my view of the world. How many bands could do that ! They are more than a band - they are a movement, and non of flavour-flav ‘s fucking about will change that! PE is a collective. They educated a generation and continue to do so. A truly remarkable group of individuals..

This documentary was extremely important. Public Enemy was an extremely important force in hop music and what they added to the culture of hip hop changed (primarily) black youth but I'm happy to say it wasn't confined to black youth. Their message through their music affected the continents of the world. I'm thankful to have been a high school student when they first came on the scene and I can remember CLEARLY when their 1st single dropped. You'd literally have to be a kid back then who followed hip hop(rap music) before PE to understand the dynamic of how these guys changed the game. I'm a living witness and it was fun, spearheading and edgy to be old enough back then. A lotta shit was happening in NYC ....in the USA ...and around the world. I put my older children on to PE who are in their 20's but I got one more who's almost 17. Time to put him up on game. PE in full effect!!!

There was so much hip hop that I just looked for the coolest cover. Seen Yo Bum Rush The Show and that was it for me. Favorite hip hop group ever since. Bought all their albums.Even recently donated to Bernie Sanders to get the Public Enemy poster.

When I got into P.E. I was too young to understand even half the issues and concepts in the lyrics. I was hooked on the sound and the energy of the music. As I grew up, so many revelations came from replaying their albums. Over two decades later Chuck's lyrics are still as valid and relevant as ever.

I was too young to be listening to their music but when I would be at my babysitter's house, she watched music videos and all I remembered seeing was the guy with the huge clock around his neck and all I could think was that he was interesting and he's probably never late for anything. Flaverrr FLAAAAAV!! I bet they're glad they kept Flav! Chuck seems like such a cool and down to earth kinda guy.

Not only the young black community getting lessons in history, politics, etc, I learned so much listening to PE as a 10, 11 yo when their stuff got released. I'm a white Australian guy and I used to look shit up in dictionary, or ask my dad, hey what is chuck talking about when he uses these phrases, or what event and year did this happen? I liked PE because their sound and Chuck's voice was just addictive. Going back armed with knowledge, I understood their songs and it was awesome

I miss that era and style of hip hop. PE, KRS 1,Ultra Magnetic MCs, Tribe Called Quest. There really will never be an era like that again, sonically, verbally, social commentary, educational and political. My 98 oldsmobile, PE#1, Black Steel and the hour of Chaos.

No it never will because the powers that be need to keep the poor uneducated that's the only way they can stay in control. That's why mindless music is in the forefront.

PE and KRS sure, ATCQ has some good music but not as much. ATCQ is probably too soft for me, PE is more aggressive (just compare them).
