Ian McIntosh We’ll never know man but I would like to think that Chuck D knows how far The Beastie Boys pushed an former underground movement to a wider audience that bands like Public Enemy couldn’t have done, not because of their musical talent, but because Hip Hop crews like P.E were too hardcore and militant and not as accessible to a white audience, and Chuck D knows and respects this. In my opinion. Peace and Love

Brandon you are exactly the type of person he was trying to speak to. He is not referring to anything remotely tied to Iraq. At that time President Clinton had sent cruise missiles into Afghanistan and Sudan to strike al-Qaeda training bases and a supposed chemical weapons plant. I'm sure you're aware of 9/11 which occurred three years after this, the retaliation MCA was warning us about. Saddam was a real POS however he suppressed militants, notice how you never heard of ISIS until AFTER he was removed. The Iraq war had absolutely nothing to do with terrorism. Also Saddam hadn't just started to fuck stuff up, he had always been a brutal dictator.. and yes we enabled him. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Infinite_Reach
