GEN Z GIRL LISTENS TO FIGHT THE POWER BY PUBLIC ENEMY | I JUST COULDN’T GET INTO IT 🫤..

[@darrylwaddell9838]

Flavor Flav is the greatest hype man in music history and that's what his job and everything Chuck D was talking about meant something in 1989. This is one of the greatest songs ever

[@derrickgreen8877]

Public Enemy is not a party group. They drop messages. Flavor Flav was basically the comedian. He took some of the edge off. He was a hype man. Get the crowd motivated. The song was made for the Spike Lee movie "Do The Right Thing." Plus there is a young lady in this video named Tawanna Brawley who a few yrs earlier was attacked by upstate NY cops. You would have to know who she is to appreciate her appearance in this video. It was very powerful to us at that time. Still is.

[@vibeswithkay8724]

from the title of the song alone, I didn’t get “party group” from them, I understood & enjoyed the message shared in this song, I just didn’t care for his style of rap but I do appreciate the background & history of the song from you 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

[@theDavidChannel1]

This is almost like watching an MLK speech and saying I don't get it This was the late '80s, when black people were still fighting against major injustices and the only music you heard from them was happy and cheerful. Groups like Public Enemy came along and said, "Fuck all that" White America definitely wasn't ready for this, and having Flavor Flav there was part of their genius. He could be there and dance away while Chuck D (the other guy), could spit some raw facts down America's throat. If Flav had not been there, songs and videos like this would not have received the exposure they got.

[@vibeswithkay8724]

I understand the message & I also said that the message was one of the things that I liked about the song, I just didn’t necessarily care for his style of rapping, thank you for your insight though, very appreciative to gain more than one perspective 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

I guess little Nas X giving Satan a lap dance is a Gen Z favorite.

[@project_b1224]

I'm Gen Z, and this generation just sucks, i wish i could go back in time, i totally agree with you

[@vibeswithkay8724]

Lol you guys are hilarious when it comes to one’s opinion that doesn’t align with you own, but on a serious note.. if you pay as much attention to the things that have been said pertaining to my taste in music as you did to what was said in this particular video, you would know that I’m not a big fan of a lot of today’s music, ESPECIALLY not that stunt that nas x pulled. Is some of the music of today catchy? Sure, but give me some old school hip hop or r&b & you got me & when I do tune in to anything modern 9/10 it’s J Cole, Joyner Lucas, Kendrick, etc. Never took away from or misunderstood the message, just didn’t like the flow, didn’t know that was a crime 😄

What really made this song was the message. The beat was dope. Plus, the crowd which wasnt suppose to be part of the video brought people out and made it like a live concert, which hyped it up even more. Alot of people didn't know this about the song. It all just callabed at the right time

[@genefury75]

Damn black people today are different.

[@rhondaatkins1776]

They like surface stuff. No meaning to lyrics. No social consciousness. Anything not from "their time" isn't worth it to them

[@rogerpace3749]

sista the problem with your generation ya'll don't appreciate conscious hip-hop and the powerful message, back in the 80's racism at a all time high and public enemy and other groups had give us a message of hope and black empowerment and education too.

[@vibeswithkay8724]

brotha 😂.. the problem with your generation is that ya’ll don’t LISTEN, especially coming from someone younger than you, quick to pick out what you want to hear & not the whole story. I’ve stated multiple times (not just in this video) that a song that has a message or story is something that I respect & love. Is it not okay for me to like the message but not necessarily the flow or 😂 ?

[@bryangraham3706]

Go watch her other videos bro, please.

[@ronaldmillner6387]

This was done live and was also an police protest of an event that happened. If you would be quiet and listen to what's being said you might learn something. You see the people in the streets that came out. Such an embarrassment

[@vibeswithkay8724]

lol preciate the interaction luv 🙏🏽

[@bryangraham3706]

She said that she understood the message bro 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@kurtrobertson495]

Like Chuck said, what we need is awareness.

[@barryhankins1194]

PE is one of the first truth spitting groups, agree or not they speak for many. Try the studio version or "Don't believe the hype" they did a rock cross over try "Bring the noise" with Anthrax (its how they got us white boy metal heads into rap in the late 80s)....PE is an acquired taste mostly Black Panther supporters, but this white guy can understand the message just fine. For me it was Ice T, Timdog and NWA.

[@vibeswithkay8724]

no doubt that they were spitting some truth & the message was very well understood, I can’t take that away from them. I guess just to turn it on & jam it would be a no for me

[@dmw1906]

First, you are allowed to like what you like. But, you have to understand what PE was about. They were "Public Enemy" because they were delivering a message of Black empowerment at a time when few were AND in a genre that hadn't yet grown. It was helps risky. Chuck D, the rapper, has a unique and simple flow because he wanted to be heard over the bombastic sounds of the records. (He has one of the best voices in Hip Hop history.) He was also an admirer of jazz, so his timing is somewhat like that of jazz...on, off, or around the beat. Flav was there to cut the tension a bit, but he is quietly a musical prodigy. Crazy as it sounds, they were crucial in Hip Hop crossing over...even with that message. Like what you like,I'm just giving some background.

[@vibeswithkay8724]

I just wanna say that you are the first person to actually educate me on the background & history of the artist(s), video, etc without trynna bash my head in or criticize me for liking what I like 😂 which again, was strictly based on the flow & not the message but this was very informative & helped me gain a better perspective of the artist & what was going on in the video.

[@nigelralphmurphy2852]

Public Enemy is genius. I been listening to them for 30 years and they still tear the roof off the mother and strip paint. They are the it. For real for real. I ain't lying.

[@gacaptain]

How you not gonna like Public Enemy Fight The Power when you on the thumbnail looking just like Spike Lee?? 😂. (This song is the opening for his movie Do The Right Thing) But on the real tho. I respect you giving your honest opinion and not capping but to most of us Gen Xers it’s just a straight up massive shock to our systems to see a young African American fan of hip hop totally not get and understand anything about Public Enemy and Fight the Power the struggle we were going through at the time and how Public Enemy was the symbol of our movement, the style, none of that. I think the reason so many are coming for you is because of this shock. It’s crazy to have to realize that this generation are just totally totally totally out of sync with us. We just in shock. That’s all I can say. Please forgive us. Lol

[@ahfimiwonawun]

You'd probably hear a better mix listening to the song from the album as opposed to the video version. It sounds the way it does in the video version on purpose cuz it's supposed to be like rapping/ preaching at a protest to the people.

[@albertanderson6770]

Public enemy they always focused on social injustices they didn't rap about woman. Theirs was a message of awareness not like today's rappers. You weren't born of that generation we wouldn't expect you to understand.

[@JudesFerry3269]

Some people can’t hear it…they just listen

[@bryangraham3706]

Do I really have to put this under every comment? She said that she understood the message. And I know from watching her other videos that she feels the message here.

[@OrondeBranch]

Daaaamn. Gen Z’s are so used to the trash of today they can’t hear this for real. Woooow 😂. I have Gen Z kids so I know first hand. Jr is getting there though….my Daughter is basically there.

[@sfain333]

How can you possibly say, "My coochie pink my booty hole brown" is trash? 😂

[@djpoppy1]

This beat goes hard. One of the best in hip-hop history! All of the crowd noises in the video is a distraction though.

[@bradcooper573]

Watch Do the Right Thing and it will make more sense. This was the theme song sort of.

[@darryl450]

Then I have to say I wasn't taking your video seriously as soon as you did that laughing video. That's another thing that made me think. Yeah, she doesn't understand she doesn't get it. What is the point of you watching this

[@abdulboyd8859]

Power our People the message of racism in America what is still happening today!

[@danelson23BX90]

Chuck Dee always rhymed off beat.. listen to the words

[@jamesway]

No disrespect, goes on to disrespect one of the most cultural significant rap groups in history. Maybe some mumble rap would help. No damn clue.

[@darryl450]

I don't respect opinions But when it comes to Chuck D That was his style of rapping Which isn't a problem. It's all about the message And flavor flav Is there Hype, man And he is the most famous Member of the group. When I saw this video I knew someone of your generation will not get I had a feeling you would do it. I mean, personally, the music of your generation is not good at all There's no message in there.Songs already talk about is Is best stupid rivalry And how much money they got And Drinking lean. Only good rappers today is Kendrick Lamar and j Cole And Joyner. That's Why? They say Hip-hop has gone down the drain And it's not going good right now

[@louisiana318]

You laughing at this is concerning to me my sista... Did you understand the concept ?

Just a tip...DO NOT waste your time with magnificent Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise"... I don't think you'll get that one either.

[@vibeswithkay8724]

I actually know this song & “get it” 100% but preciate the suggestion luv.

[@bryangraham3706]

Ay yo! When PE first came out I wasn't feeling them either. 'Rebel without a pause' was like someone scratching their nails on a chalk board to me. Didn't like 'Bring the noise'. Didn't start feeling them as a group until maybe when I heard Don't 'believe the hype' and/or '911 is a joke. I didn't think I really started feeling 'Fight the power' til near the end of Do the right thing lol I'm saying they were an acquired taste for me and video is probably the worst way to listen to this song. So maybe we don't jump down the throat of a 22yo whose hearing the song this way for the first time 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@vibeswithkay8724]

I might have to give their other songs a try because I don’t wanna write them off as a whole because of one song so maybe.. JUST MAYBE 😂

[@nigelralphmurphy2852]

I guess you had to be alive in the 1980s when shit was real. Life and kids these days are shallow like a muddy puddle and the stuff that has existed for the last god knows how many years has been really pathetic. But what the fuck.

[@vibeswithkay8724]

I do agree with you that kids & life these days are indeed shallow, however, I also believe that people of an older generation are quick to give an opinion & slow to listen or be open to another, especially the opinion of someone younger than them. Maybe a little slow to listen as well because I did in fact say that I enjoyed the message, also, if you’ve watched any of my other videos, I’ve stated numerous times that I lean towards artists such as J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Joyner Lucas, people with a story, I also mentioned my love for the message in this video as well soooo yeah but preciate the comment luv. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

[@MorrisB3]

DAMN. People really got sensitive about your reaction. Lol. You don't have to like the song. I have a love hate relationship with it. I love the beat. I love the empowerment. But, the joke Flavor Flav later became, I can see how someone your generation can't take it serious. Also, the line about Elvis is a racist is bullshit. There's no evidence. He was raised in the hood and had black gospels. Public Enemy later said they did it for the shock which to me cheapens the message.
