I don’t care what anybody says. Chuck D belongs in the GOAT discussion.

[@patrickmasi4851]

No discussion he’s the goat everyone is playing for second

[@hennessyfaust]

he doesn´t "belong" - he is one of the goats... no discussion about it!!!

[@nishottara777]

THEE ONE

[@MyRapNameIsAlex]

He's definitely in my top 1.

[@chiphoenix8641]

Yes....and Flav added NOTHING to this man's music. I never understood it

[@bargerkenneth]

If Chuck D isn't in your top five rappers of all time you're wrong

[@HolyRollerTV]

social media is obsessed with these irrelevant top 5 goat polls... P.E are a sum of the parts no terminator no griff no flavour flav no S 1 W's.. def NO chuck D...

[@mingham796]

He’s my top 100… in a row. #101 is KRS one. 😊

[@gazicj]

facts

[@chaddeez8446]

He paved the way for Dre and he's still relevant at the top of his game. He never stopped...

[@gazicj]

@@mingham796 hehehe nice clever

[@TheIgorSnowden]

Apocalypse 91 is still one of the greatest rap albums of all time

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

Absolutely! 🎯

[@zarkoh]

Was my first ever cassette 👌

[@BigPandaInJapan]

What about "Fear of a black planet" ?

[@TheIgorSnowden]

@@BigPandaInJapan a truly iconic record

[@DJaySplitSecond]

Chuck D definitely one of the greatest to ever touch a mic!

Amen! If he's not in your Top 5, your list is incomplete...

Vamos a luta 👊 serrado

[@ksdk326]

There are some P.E. songs that sounds dated but THIS STILL SLAPS HARD ON EVERY LEVEL. I miss when rap was talking about something.

[@HolyRollerTV]

dated is irrelevant...kids will hear PE for the 1st time and be inspired by it...originality can never be dated..but another corn ball rap over a lame 808.. is dated...

[@drek9365]

One of the best tracks ever, no doubt. 🙌

[@thenewgoldenera]

This should be the true national anthem!!!

[@johndow7689]

Or the theme for the revolution against the great reset!

[@thenewgoldenera]

@@johndow7689 WORD ✌

[@derekcabeca2682]

Parents should show this to their kids to show them this was rap back in the day not now rappers bout money, women and fortune. There was public enemy spitting facts bout reality

[@djkreature]

Kids these days are mentally deficient, They aren't intelligent enough to understand it.

[@deadbeat-vc9kg]

I was the only kid in a small town rockin Public Enemy gear. I was a big hit with the rednecks and cops. 😉 I was called a wigger and a skaterfag every day. I still skate. Ass hats I went to school with are already circling the drain all fat, bald and chocked full of cholesterol. 😂😂😂 Love that karma.

[@K1ng1995]

How big corporations profit off black communities and never give money back

[@melaninking199]

This and Low Profile Pay Ya Dues. Don't forget X Clan Heed Of Tha Brotha

[@Idontlikethisever]

Truth

[@blastbeatindustries3191]

Most brutal rap song ever written.

[@nickash9936]

Many rappers & fans never call Chuck D in the greatest rappers of all time list but he is definitely top 10 of all time...really really underrated

[@globalismoblackman]

​@@craigbuckton2808 Correct There are Prophets and there are Rappers just like Steak and Hamburgers ain't the same lol 😅😂😂🙌😎👍

[@weshoskins74]

Dudes in groups always get overlooked.

[@L1am21]

His ice cubes fav rapper

[@DJaySplitSecond]

Yes, Chuck’s voice and delivery is unmatched! His lyrics were very teachable, many black folks just wasn’t ready for Chuck! Now today they see what he meant in his songs!!! That’s how great of a rapper Chuck is!

[@SeeYouNextTuesday-]

Shut up with that overused stupid phrase

[@lemuello664]

P.E. and R.A.T.M. Learned from history, knew the present and predicted the future with a handful of albums.

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

Real talk! Check out my Public Enemy/Rage Against The Machine playlist under my created playlists, containing their whole catalogues ✊

[@MyRapNameIsAlex]

Yes yes indeed!

[@rjvernesto.]

Apocalypse 91 is a classic. This beat is infectious.

[@Kaff231]

Chuck D is one of the most underrated rappers in the business. Definitely one of my top 5 rappers of all time.

[@tomatisator]

unbelievable scratching by TERMINATOR X throughout the entire song… rarely heard again. #PEno1

[@blazer4101]

On God

[@brmbkl]

Terminator X made me fall in love with scratching. Him and DXT on rockit

[@RobertoGinsburg]

Yeah! The lead scratch in the middle part sound taken from a scream on *"Ego Trippin" by Please (1976)* in The post break parte of the song. And the continuos high-pitched sound stabbed maybe from "Engine number 9" by Wilson Pickett.

[@herbertlyles190]

Real hip hop , classic, not the garbage thats out now

[@aland.3728]

Terminator X, has some of the nastiest scratches out. Cold and grimey. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@norman2402]

Yup my Teacher told us to watch this and come back to decuss this .❤

[@traviscarter1023]

Yep going into 1992

[@flvproductionz6897]

This beat goes hard as fuck

[@adu1991]

The remix w/ Pete Rock is even better.

[@cjwallace4559]

Actually the best voice ever in rap music.....with the best message.....

[@thedidway2300]

Yes! Shut Down The Corrupt Unelected Fraudulent Government. 30 years ago I didn’t get it. I do now

[@aholmes74ah]

"God has come down from heaven to rock the Mic" DMC

[@HolyRollerTV]

there has been many great voices with great messages...P.E had that DEF JAM force behind them...

[@BENWORKIN89]

Bomb Squad need to be on more top 10 producer lists. They changed the whole spectrum.

[@ReactionBandit87]

You've got impeccable taste in music if your listening to PE .

[@fantom75]

Chuck D, the best rapper all time! The GOAT!

[@larryrhoades7136]

Public Enemy for life

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

P.E. made me fall in love with music and language (and social justice) at the age of 7, in '89. I studied them like scripture.

[@lemuello664]

Same here, same year. I was 20 and trying to talk the band to playing P.E. covers. That wouldn't happen until the 00's though.

[@Jay-iu4st]

Nice playlists. 😃👍

[@blasianluvschocolate397]

I was 14

[@djkreature]

Don't be a Social Justice Warrior. SJW's are just insane liberals

​@@Jay-iu4st Thank you, Jay! 🙏🏼 (Just saw your comment 😁)

"Black people died when the "other man" lied."

[@user-pz4ms2kw9g]

Not only.....i said poor people...

[@thomasvarley380]

They also died in droves on slave ships when they were sold by other Africans to the highest bidder . You fight a fire from the source , the source of their suffering was other Black men selling them . Still going on today worse than then , but no one wants to talk about that . Too close to home for race grifters who want to point the finger instead of accepting the truth .

[@chaddeez8446]

Poor people always dying to make the rich man richer...

[@giandujavettorello6184]

I have been following Public Enemy for 35 years. 😉👍

[@chrishoover9970]

The influence of music like this is why they destroyed mtv lol. I was 10 when this came out. I rode my bike to the store miles down the road, as a white boy, and this was the first cassette tape I purchased myself. The song hits you

[@joshgore8256]

Fool, no it's not, if that were true they wouldn't have played it, nor would BET had its own channel, it's all about money and viewership, oddly enough PE made plenty if it in such a racist driven country

[@anomaly8271]

Absolutely agree I love this comment

[@JustK009]

Pete Rock Remix = Classic 🎧

[@jimr9499]

Hands down one of my absolute favorite Preemo remixes. Fo sho homie.

[@DJaySplitSecond]

Those horns are way too sexy in that song!!!!

[@cminor3016]

We are all their target. This is what happens when we let any government get too big! God bless!

[@jenniferw5095]

Favorite Rap Group. Chuck D has one of the best voices. Lyrics are phenomenal. I have seen them in concert twice. My BFF's daughter is autistic and I taught- got her to say her first words... "Fight The Power".

[@cozimcoollikethat8662]

i wish all the other golden era emcees have their old mvs remastered, PE doing a great job with the HD vids

[@olympic1l196]

We need this type of hip hop message to be more mainstream. Enough of the gutter nonsense.

No more autotune or 8O8s

@@melaninking199 no more 808s? Kid you heard of d nice?
