Chuck D always gets overlooked in the greatest rappers of all time conversations, the dude was a master of wordplay with strong messages and content behind it. truly a master of the craft.

@Erich Von Manstein PE was plenty vindictive..apologists for Farrakhan in their lyrics, etc. BUT-at least they had something to say. Not like the Pornographic Gangsta rappers nowadays. Sirius satellite radio dropped Backspin awhile back. And...even when they existed, they played little-if any-Public Enemy.

I'm a seventy two year old African American woman, believe it or not the first time I saw this video was in the nineties on BET. And my mother was watching it. She loved Chuck D and Flavor Flav. Her friends thought she was out of her mind! But she was actually ahead of most of us. She saw it as protest music and a history lesson. She died in 2000. Mom you were so right. 😙👍

@ Corkoth55, Many of us that grew up in an urban environment saw drugs destroy our communities, watched our friends die in front of us at an early age due to gun violence, folks we love go to prison for things that are a slap on the wrist today, not to mention the police brutality(no body cams). Colombian wars, Shower Posse , gunman, Rayful, Alpo, etc. that’s what I mean by survivor. 😎 Peace to you and be well!

[@andrewcamden]

You said it. I was born in public housing (things got a little better when we moved into a trailer court) and remember thinking of rappers like Chuck D as heroes who spoke truth to power. I can't even imagine what kind of kid today would look at the "rappers" whose acts seems to consist entirely of bragging about wealth they often don't even actually have as role models... "Quarter million dollars on a handjob..." (actual rap lyric from a guy so lame he apparently needs to spend a king's ransom to convince a woman to touch him.) P.S. I needed the Rap Critic to tell me about that because I don't even bother listening to Hip Hop these days. It's been so long since I've heard anything new and good (Ice Cube - Good Cop Bad Cop) that I don't even try.

Chuck D is the greatest hip hop vocalist in the history of rap and Public Enemy one of the best all time groups.

[@edwardsandford8921]

I'm 52 and white. Most of my friends were metal heads. They could never understand how incredible this music was and still is, not to mention the purpose the messages served. There will never be another Chuck D. MAD respect for him and PE. Always has, and always will be one of my favorites. This wasn't about hate, it was about TRUTH.

Make way for real leaders, let the white men take the back seat and let the real superior strengths and minds rule. We have been civilized 1000s of years before you, which you stole and used for your own engineering. Let the real father's if the land return. There's the Message"METAL HEAD" even your hobbies are immature while we have more knowledge and wisdom to impart to make the world less violent, controlled and at war than what all these 5-600 years has done damage to the world and earth so far. Give it back leave/sit back and let us take less than 600 years to fix your mistakes...how bout that message! 👍

[@mdostay]

Same age, different ethnicity. Totally loved PE as a youth, had to deal with my relatives getting on my case about the racial angle cause I wasn't black. They didn't get it. Chuck D and Flav were not about hate as you say, I'm sure they'd also be railing against the complete BS, exploitation, and victim mindset that the BLM scammer scumbags are about these days. We need these old school guys and the REAL anti-establishment movement back. It's not about race morons. It's not about white or black. It's about a broken system and exploitation. There's good and bad on all "sides", and there are no sides, judge people by the content of their character. Anything else deserves brutal scrutiny.

[@oaklandsoldier8520]

The hardest rap beat ever. This never gets old

[@Mindbender55]

Eerie

[@RedMilitiaX]

Deep Cover - Dre and Snoop. That beat is the hardest shit ever, fire. It was also Snoops first rap, he was 17.

[@jackboyd2054]

@@RedMilitiaX also cant forget about what would you do by tha dogg pound

[@rbailey9717]

I loved this video as a kid when it came out. But looking back at it now as an adult...WOW! This is a certified MASTERPIECE!!! Timeless. Gave me chills.

This man just gave a history lesson on the slave trade in less than 5 mins

[@Mar.Escobar24]

As well as demonstrating a side by side on how it’s the same problems in current times (the 80’s yet still relevant today), but instead of a massa, it’s the police, the judge, etc.

[@davep.6385]

They're lyrics and style make you roll with the beat but gives you chill by its powerful message,

[@willierobinson2241]

But true 👍 😌 🙂 😁

One of my fav drum breaks and DJ's all time: Take it away Code!

[@Mar.Escobar24]

It’s the drums from Humpty Dance. Shock G made a beast of a track that those drums have been used countless times.

Chuck D is one of the greatest rappers of all time....End of Discussion.....

[@kurtadams3021]

TRUE

[@roxfoot]

I guess that wasn't the end of it then.

[@ksenobite]

HE IS!!!

[@sltings6779]

🐐

[@terryg995]

No argument there.

[@pjganley]

I was 13 when this album came out and I first saw this video. The imagery is forever burned into my brain. The way they drew a parallel between what went on in the past and what continues to happen in the present…really not all that different. Not at all! I love this group!

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

I was 7 or 8 when I saw the video for "Fight The Power"... life would never be the same after! 🤯

[@worldatmyfingertips7771]

I saw an interview in which Chuck D is kind of dissing Flava because of his style and particularly the glasses which he took off every now and then. Reportedly, they didn't like his face expressions on camera so they came up with the idea of hiding his eyes behind those sunglasses, they thought he was nuts! lol.......however for us the fans, at least for me, THAT is exactly what I like about Flava, his crazy antics maan! He was awesome! :D

[@akuTee2010Elle]

and ya still vote Democrat perhaps,, really open ya mind. Both parties suck. Really listen to this,, he had the right message don't trust the system. MOST OF YA DO. And ya think ya woke when all ya are are future broke. makes no matter. we all same compared to those that want u hating this music for just that reason.

[@tikifreaky5204]

⁠@@worldatmyfingertips7771thought their relationship was strained from his drug use, since his persona became everything they were rapping against. & they didn’t talk because of his Flavor of Love days…That’s why we love Flav because he brought the flavor to balance out the message.

[@Kluv-be4fo7cy9b]

You expressed this perfectly!! Same for me. The first time I saw this video and 2pac Brenda's Got A Baby as a teen they were forever etched in my mind, the words and images. So powerful even the story behind how the song was written. Deep!!

[@leonardcarter198]

Chuck D one of the best lyricist EVER!..He had substance to his raps ...Listen to him.

[@ronque23]

PE’s contributions to the culture and the B1 struggle will always be recognized and appreciated. Salute to them!

[@joseangelhernandez5274]

my uncle used to play the records of P.E. while painting and drawing. the impact they had on my young mind when this dropped back then made me aware of injustices of black, Latinos and oppressed people in general. thank you P.E. for the jewels of knowledge u pass to us, we need your message today more than ever.

[@delancyj67]

This and "Burn Hollywood Burn" will remain relevant for generations.

[@nathanmarineau3993]

Damn, this song hits hard on its own, but along with the video... Respect. ❤

[@richardpearson8104]

Damn Chuck D Went Hard...2023 Still Listening to This Classic..

[@issacfrye3245]

That is a deep video. Still can't truss it. Never have, NEVER WILL.
