Chuck D is the greatest hip hop vocalist in the history of rap and Public Enemy one of the best all time groups. PE was provocative, political, controversial, and hyper intelligent, and coming out of the 90s they were practically the only hardcore rap group NOT calling women bitches and hoes but instead talking about real issues of equality justice and historical wrongs

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.

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.

We need PE today now more than ever. At 13, 14 years old I was more socially conscience than most because of PE. When I expose my son to Hip Hop, I play him stuff like KRS-ONE and BDP, PE, A Tribe Called Quest, Mos Def, etc... I want him to be strong and man enough to think with his own mind, regardless of what's popular or how others think of him.

The part when the slave is excited his son is born, only to see he's white and so he goes after the slave master, but ends up getting hung...this video was a better history lesson for me than what I received in class.

I'm a Caucasian woman originally from Houston,, a 4th generation Texan. LBJ was President when I was born so you can guess how old I am. I got turned on to hip hop way back in the 80's by friends at work. We'd pay healh insurance claims wearing headphones and listening to our CDs all day. This is one of my favorites albums (CDs). The "older" coworkers were constantly asking us all to turn down our CD players, you could hear us all when you got off of the elevator. This video is hard to watch. Even though it's fictitious it's based on reality. Being from Texas it embarrasses me. My family raised us right and I honestly never looked at anyone differently, especially as a child. I can remember this event like it was yesterday. When I was about 4 years old, a neighbor across the street was babysitting my brother and me. She took us to the grocery store apparently I was acting up. There was someone vacuuming the shelves wearing a full hazmat suit covering their head. She called him The Bag Man and said he was going to get me if I didn't behave. Long story shorter, the person turned out to be a young African-American man name Presley. This was 4 years after Civil Rights passed and this was and all white neighborhood. I can't imagine the fear that Presley must have felt having a little "snowflake" terrified of him. I was terrified to go in that store because of The Bag Man. Not sure how Mom figured it out but she went off on our neighbor. One day we went into the store and my mom was holding me I saw my dad standing at the end of the checkout line standing next to Presley. Dad handed me a box and said it was a present from Presley. Inside of it was a dress, I only wanted to wear dresses when I was 4. Poor Presley, he was so embarrassed. I knew exactly what was going on. That poor guy, he kept saying I didn't get that for you and was laughing at the same time. I remember putting my head on my mom's shoulder and watching Presley's beautiful smile and laugh. He was my friend from then on. Whenever we went into the store from then on I would look for Presley and yell his name and tell him hello and wave at him. That grocery store closed a couple of years later. It was in Meyerland Mall mall in Houston some people might remember it if you're from Houston. They closed every store in that mall. I keep Presley in my thoughts and prayers. I don't know if he's still alive but I know I will see him again one day. I remember that beautiful smile and can hear him laughing right this moment. Sorry, this is kinda long
