Quick summary: This was a Public Enemy song. In the original version, Public Enemy gave a "shout out" to Anthrax (as in this version) because Scott Ian wore PE shirts on stage during Anthrax concerts. Scott Ian (rhythm guitarist from Anthrax with the bald head and rapping the 3rd and 4th verses) approached Public Enemy about doing a collaboration. This was the eventual result. There is a live version on KZbin that is awesome!

[@StaxReacts]

🙏🏽🙏🏽‼️‼️

[@robertkennedy5414]

I'm not sure if PE's version came before or after, but Anthrax recorded an EP called I'm the Man, which was the initial experiment that brought rap and thrash metal together. You should check that out.

[@daverock2192]

The 90s was an amazing era, the Golden Age of hip hop in a lot of people's opinion, and metal evolved as well. This was better than the 80s Aerosmith Walk This Way compilation with run dmc. The hip hop beats and the heavy metal crunch just were superb. A long time favorite, I think this popped up on my KZbin because I watch the video for this multiple times with headphones wide open that was a great era, a lot of collaboration and common ground. I was a sophomore in high school at the time, and there was a great deal of humanity and understanding and Collective positivity back then. I get sad sometimes when I think of this song, and then see how this country has stumbled backwards pretty far. But keep rocking this track. And everybody keeps a positively up.

[@MadMayorZag]

And my Time Machine tells me this same out in ‘91. Way ahead of its time

[@jetboy5589]

When Anthrax toured in 1991 with Megadeth and Slayer, when they played this song Public Enemy played with them.

[@bretthemminger6133]

In the 90's collaborations such as this were not uncommon in videos or in concerts, Lollapalooza is a perfect example of this. It was an amazing era in music.

[@elbruces]

This song came out in 1991. Anthrax has another fun rap song of their own called "I'm The Man." Public Enemy typically does socially conscious songs, kinda like RatM. There was a soundtrack for the movie "Judgement Night" that came out in 1993, that paired up rock and rap groups for each song on the track. It's all fire, but underrated.

The thing about hip hop is that most popular artists these days have no knowledge of music in general. Artists from the 80's and 90's were fans of music, not just the genre they were a part of themselves. One of the big reasons that production back then was so much better. They had a wealth of knowledge to draw from that just isn't present today. Also, back in the early days PE was known to perform at punk shows.

Early days hip hop and punk, metal were cousins to each other. Same spirit, messages, energy, attitude, boldness, ideology, underground roots, etc. Just a different style of music. Well, this is where nu metal (genre fusion of rap, punk, metal, etc) came from years later. Popular genre during the '90s and '00s. Bands like System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, Korn, Limp Bizkit, POD, SlipKnot, Incubus, Body Count (Ice T), Faith No More, Sucidal Tendecies, Soulfly, Drowning Pool, etc. Many metal , punk and rap groups collabed with each at concerts in te past. Beastie Boys (did both punk and rap), Cyrpess Hill, Wu Tang, Anthrax, RUN DMC, Aerosmith, Snoop Dog, Dr Dre (he loves Nirvana), Onyx, Suicidal Tendencies, Public Enemy, Sepultura, Busta Rymes, etc.

[@athlonen]

Now.. at 4:17, go back to your LL Cool J's Mama Said Knock You Out reaction.. Both Anthrax and Public Enemy shouted out Eric B, and LL Cool J because their beats were just as hot at the time this came out. Keep in mind that at this time, Anthrax was from Queens, NY, Run DMC was also from Queens, Beastie Boys were from Brooklyn, and LL Cool J was from Harlem, or maybe even the Bronx. So they all were in the same area creating music and all knew each other, so they all knew that rap and rock and metal could blend together because they all had the same vibe. This is what we got. I mean, the same guy that produced Slayer is the same guy that produced LL Cool J. they made it happen and still make it happen. That's why these are classics.

[@StaxReacts]

Same thing in LA, California and southern California. The other coast. Many rappers, punks and metal bands knew of each other back then and hung out, collaborated together. Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre (loves punk and metal), Cypress Hill ( they did a lot of hip hop and rock), Ice Cube, Ice-T (big punk, metal fan. Friends with Slayer and Megadeth), Rage Against the Machine (nu metal). Slayer, Megadeth, Suicidal Tendencies, Body Count (Ice-T's punk rock, metal band), and many others.

Technically, this is a remix/"cover". Public Enemy created the song Bring the Noise which first appeared the 1987 soundtrack for the film Less than Zero. The song was later released as a single that same year. It later became the first song on the 1988 album, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. It was a strict hip/hop rap song. Anthrax recorded a version of "Bring the Noise", which sampled the vocals from the original Public Enemy recording. Chuck D has stated that upon the initial request of Anthrax, he "didn't take them wholehearted seriously", but after the collaboration was done, "it made too much sense", and it was eventually included on both the Anthrax compilation Attack of the Killer B's and as the final track on Public Enemy's own Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black album.

There was a time a few years before this that rap wasn't even considered music. It got no radio play except in NYC late at night or very early morning.

Chuck dropped a lot of truth in there. Especially about "black radio". Hell, same could be said for "white radio" going the opposite direction. Hell, even Aerosmith and RUN DMC talked about that format and where their song would do numbers and how it helped both on opposite sides of the fandom. It was also kind of note worth as you had Living Colour and say Lenny Kravitz popping off but the two would hardly ever appear on a "black radio station" ... just r&b and sould/funk...and to a lesser degree the more political hip hop versus the more dance/pop hip hop.

I’m enjoying your reactions. Both Hip Hop and Metal come from the blues so they should mix well. Lemmy, a legendary Metal singer, said Metal is just the blues played really fast. UTFO, an ancient rap group, did a song with Anthrax in 1987 “Lethal”. The hook was so good I still remember the bars. Anthrax just did the chorus. The same year, Anthrax released “I’m the man”, a crazy rap. Congress was mad about Rap and Metal lyrics and put warning labels on them, which is absolutely censorship. Scott Ian , the singer of Anthrax testified to congress about how wrong it was. They took up censorship as their fight for survival. Their lyrics got even more daring. . “Bring the noise” was after that In 1991 and is partly anti-censorship. they released “I’m the man,91” and it’s less silly. I like the silly 1987 version. Anthrax has millions of fans all over the world so you might get some checking out “I’m the Man”.

Anthrax also made a pretty straight cover of Beastie boys’s « looking down a barrel of a gun », its sick ! Love Anthrax as a guitarist and what they ve done with hip hop

[@StaxReacts]

I’ll be checking that out very soon

Rock in general and Metal in particular has always been a voice of dissent, as was early hip-hop. Racism is a social construct to divide and distract people from the real struggle, class warfare. It makes complete sense that when people set aside superficial differences, they realize how much they have in common. Rap, rock and metal continue to influence each other to this day, although not in the mainstream of commercialized musical products.

Public Enemy is so f'ing good - they were the inspiration for the first Norwegian rap group too (Gatas Parlament) who both took inspiration from their productions as well as incorporating the politics

I was in high school when this came our. Back then, everyone thought you could only like ONE GENRE music. I knew rap, metal, punk, hell even country was the voice of the outcast! Then we had songs like this that broke down those bs barriers that guys like me left behind long ago!

I was an 80s metal head and this song turned me on to rap in '91 so I got to be there for Nas, Wu Tang, and all that other great hip hop of the early 90s

PE and Anthrax were two of my favorites when this dropped. We went insane, blowing out the speakers. Scott Ian (shaved head) is still in it, always having fun with new projects like this

[@EburksSuperCollector]

Great reaction, man! This absolutely made history. Reinforces the importance of unity!

[@StaxReacts]

Couldn't agree more!

[@HandSoloRecords]

As others have said, you need to react to the original from Public Enemy. And pretty much anything else from their album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back is likely to impress. I've also seen some suggestions for the Judgement Night soundtrack. One of the best soundtracks ever. A dope mix of rap and rock. I really like "I Love You Mary Jane" by Sonic Youth and Cypress Hill.

[@StaxReacts]

I’ll check it out

[@browntabproductions]

Check out Ice T’s band Bodycount 1992 self-titled debut album.
