The actual person in the logo is LL Cool J's boy E-Love, he was always on stage with cool j back in the day. Chuck thought he had the perfect B-Boy stance, so he used his actual image as the silhouette.
Yep. He said Busta rapped as hard as Buster Rhymes ([his real name] a University of Oklahoma running back who played in the wishbone offense with quarterback and future U.S Rep. J.C. Watts) ran the ball.
Public Enemy is all over my playlist....one of the most prolific rap groups ever assembled....much respect and love.....i flashing back to fight the power and get chills! 1989 the number! another summer! sound of the funky drummer! Very important record....wish these youngsters could understand..
Damn Chuck D said, Kraftwerk. Wow, thats a whole other level of music. Kraftwerk's famous track was the one Turbo aka Bugaloo Shrimp danced with the broom in Breakin'. The scene in the alley. Kraftwerk pushed the envelope on how sounds should be incorporated into music.
"I'm me for a reason". Word. This took me back. I like how in the previous interview how it was explaining the interwining chain of events in technology and hardware which couple with certain muscian, acts and movement ushered in the new gen of Hip Hop. I remember being early on Portable CD that cost $250 back in '87. Having a Hitachi Boom box and then cassettes to CDs. Awesome. He really explained how the corporations were making moves yet wasn't catching the wave.
I think it's a travesty that there has not been a movie based on public enemy yet. It takes a nation of millions and fear of a black planet are two of most important albums ever.
Chuck d has blessed me tremendously just listening to him take me back to 1987...people went CRAZY for public enemy back then they started a revolution of social awakening in hip hop, in the black community and world wide for justice and reform! Period. Proud of my bro..PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER 1
And that's why it always bugs me out when people who really don't know the history try to say Masta Ace was trying to go West Coast with " Born To Roll" when he was actually doing the opposite.he was showing that the roots of that sound was actually New York..
Technically, all facets of hip-hop comes from NY. But ain’t nobody do the West Coast sound better than the West Coast. I mean, c’mon, that Masta Ace video had lowriders all over it. U gon tell me NY did that too? lol
@@thadirtyabbott33 I'm getting old..Lol..but if my memory serves me correctly it was a group called I.R.T. that made that joint..I remember the Latin Rascals use to play it on Kiss FM..
The amount of rap and hip-hop knowledge in Chuck D's head is astounding !!! I wouldn't mind sitting down with him one day and just reminiscing about the origins of rap and who was doing what, when, where and why. I imagine there's not much Chuck D doesn't know about. Big ups to you Chuck D ...👏👏
Right, "dodgy" is the word for it-Vlad knows enough to know things like James Brown was sampled a lot, but doesn't know the lineage as far as when different production styles transitioned (e.g., 'Electro' style 82-83, hard 808 boom bap 84-86, 87 in transition, then sampling heaven 88-89).
Really happy to have witness and even work with Chuck and the guys on several gigs they did as Spectrum on Strong Island where we all were back in the early 80's. Chuck D. is an educator.. Music is his heart. But, he's into this life business for real. Legend.
Why you think vlad doing this interview now??? Out of all debates vlad done had with other ppl about hip hop, why would he just up and get Chuck D on here?
I never said George Floyd name? It’s injustice worldwide and Vlad is interviewing a conscience rapper who been rapping about these type of politics since he came out! If you knew who Chuck D was then you wouldn’t even be saying what your saying but ✌🏾
U trying to be a smart ass without knowing what I meant so slow down! My initial comment was more towards thanking vlad for interviewing Chuck D! U went straight towards the injustice part which is me saying I would to hear a Chuck D opinion on everything going on. So FOH
Tha freak???!!!!! RAKIM! Was out before PE. & many others who brought consciousness. Do ur homework homeboy. Whodini.....who Chuck says himself was the world to him. Plz go study.
Many before P.E. told stories about Urban plight, but P.E. was really the first ones to come with that in-your-face, we ain't going nowhere mentality. " Who gives a fk about a gd Grammy " and who could forget " Elvis...was a hero to most, but he never meant nothing to me. The sucka was simple and plain... Mf him and John Wayne " 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@notorious1968 BDP of course. Schooly D and Ice T may not have been conscious in the way that PE and Krs was but they told reality in a gritty, unapologetic way, same with N.W.A.

Never console are one of the best consoles in the world but they're mainly used for rock music. Larry Smith is the first one that brought the now popular SSL consoles that every hip hop producer and engineer prefers, over from London. Before then, no one ever heard of them. Every single thing Chuck is saying now I was telling my sons about hip hop music.
Big Facts!!!! The 808 & high hat ain’t from the south! What became “Bass” or Miami Booty music came from Original Concept ( New York ) Google Mantronix as well ( Bass Machine ).
Savagely Chill Of course...the South just kept the 808/high hat going once NY moved on to Boom Bap sounds, and created a Southern sound with those instruments....but obviously all Hip-Hop rap music falls under NY since they started it.
tswagg504 Absolutely. I’m just emphasizing what Chuck said. Those over 45 years of age should already know that. Even though Glad acts like this is all new information. Cuz he’s a lame and don’t really know Hip Hop history. He’s a culture vulture clout chaser. ( I only occasionally watch because he does bring on good guests ) Otherwise he’s a horrible interviewer and host.
LEO DIGGA Yup. It’s in the DNA of early Miami Bass records. The BPM were slower too. Certain records hit in the south more than in New York. RUN DMC “Dumb Girls” Sir Mixx A lot “Posses on Broadway” Rodney O & Joe Cooley “ Everlasting Bass” etc.. it was all about how it sounded in your car. Bass was king. ( Not to mention Stetsasonic literally made a record called “Miami Bass” in 88 )
Big Up Chuck D ive Interviewed Chuck in my London Cab for my RUclips Channel hes such a huge talent and so on the Level, 1st See Public Enemy play in 1987 at the Hammersmith Odean they took the Roof off the Place also liking your channel to ill check out your other interviews peace from London Town
I remember watching a PE interview in the UK. It was in 87 and the English interviewer was trying to get Chuck D to see things his way, which didn’t happen. The interviewer then became really flustered and upset. It was a sight.
If there were ever a class of Hip Hop History being led by Chuck D, KRS ONE or any of the pioneers, you bet your ass I'll be there taking notes and brushing up on my Hip Hop knowledge
2:56 When Dr. Dre joined the world class wreckin cru in his early days, he came in as a replacement for a guy named Dr. Rock. That probably had something to do with Dre using the Dr. in his name as well.
Yep, rapping has been around even longer than that. Muhammad Ali had a rap album in 1963, which was after the Korean War, but way before Sugar Hill. Muhammad Ali's trash talk routine was all rap.
Look up the Jubilaires - The Preacher and the Bear. They were a gospel group from the 1940s and they were rapping in their music way back then. Also Pigmeat Markham put out 'Here Comes the Judge' in 1968, that was absolutely rap.
@@theDavidChannel1 Rappin' came from the blues... they used to call it the "talking blues" back then... all of the elements predate hip hop... it all came together when DJ Kool Herc hooked up his two turntable sound system to play at his sister's birthday party in 1974... extending the break of funk songs so that B-boys (break boys) could dance longer essentially birthed hip hop. It all started with the DJ.
I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Chuck D recently in Santa Fe NM but his explanation of how Dr. Dre influenced Trap and Miami Bass seems to come mainly from a Def Jam perspective. The influence of Mantronik on Trap and Miami bass is undeniable just one listen to "Bass Machine" by T La Rock and "Summertime Summertime" by Nocera both produced by Mantronik in 1986 will prove my point. No doubt Dr. Dre from Original Concept did produce a couple of great tracks and his evolution from the Roland CR-8000 to the TR-808 and 909 was interesting. IMHO a discussion of the use of the decay of the kick drum on the TR808 and 909 in early Hip Hop is not complete without mentioning Mantronik. Glad to see other hip hop heads in the comment section making this same point!!
If anything we NEED a "Vlad/Mantronix" full interview ASAP!!. This man's music (besides influencing whole genre's) was responsible for blowing up artists such as T LaRock, Crime Master Tee (who was the rapper in his own group), a little known beat boxer by the name of "Greg Nice (one half of Nice & Smooth), provided the soundscape for Just Ice, even tried his hand at R&B with "Got to have your love ft. Wondress" and actually charted well with that single. Also worked with Bryce who later formed Groove Theory. He literally was Sleeping Bag Records cash cow UNTIL a little known duo got signed and stole the spotlight. Anybody remember a group called...EPMD?? 😉
I was the first person in Los Angeles playing Public Enemy..... before 1580 KDAY I went to New York and taped WBLS and was up on it before the west coast....
I remember during their Spectrum shows they would do a section where Chuck and the guys would do their thing. That Roland Drum Machine he was talking about was phat back then. My favorite part of their gigs was when they got down with their rhyme and beats.
Kraftwerk only used synths and drum machines they made themselves ( they actually fabricated their own synths), and a Moog modular of course. I can't think of a Kraftwerk track with TR808. Arthur Baker used the "Kraftwerk "string" melody and the intro Modular percussion but he added the legendary TR-808.
I can listen to Chuck D talk all day long! He's like a walking encyclopedia when it comes down to black history and the REAL history of Hip-hop!💯✊🏾

I think it's a travesty that there has not been a movie based on public enemy yet. It takes a nation of millions and fear of a black planet are two of most important albums ever.
That'll probably be a 3hr movie if it's chronologically initiated from the College radio days to the present. Remember, this group has a 36yr history.
I don’t think a movie could be as visual as their albums, fear of a black planet is like a movie for the ears
Saw P.E in Manchester in 1987 saw P.E in Manchester 2019 ,dope.
i saw them last year too with the wu and i prefered pe show
i saw them in 87 in amsterdam...and 10 more times the years after....87 was the best
"Flavor could suck the stardom out of a room." That was a great line. Great to see Chuck D throwing down knowledge. The youth need to learn.
