Correction. This is Hip Hop. What they try to pass off today as Hip Hop is what we call Rap. Anyone can rap just ask Captain Crunch, Fred Flintstone, Ice Spice etc.
Jesus imagine being a white kid about 12 years old who obsessed with hip hop starting the late 80s and hearing the great music like this. PE was the absolute leaders of hip hop ar this point-everything they dropped had such power. This beat and message was absolute fire. And the video was a response to excessive police force used on black college students partying in VA Beach. Arguably one their best songs
God this beat is the stuff of legends. It's such a great example of the influence and timeless quality the Bomb Squad had. They made Prince's guitar feedback sound good, and threw in some Melvin Bliss and George Clinton for good measure. There is a solid argument to be made for this being the best Public Enemy song.
Chuck is a preacher/teacher. As a “narrow ass white boy in the south” this dude blew my mind open with the truth about shit, as well as the beats and rhythmic layers that the Bomb Squad layer down…helped to fuel my musical endeavors. No one can touch the mighty PE in my opinion. The pinnacle…
I was at Virginia Beach when the riot happened. It was crazy watching it happen. This video was in response to that. It’s hard to believe it’s been over 30 years!
Police didn't cause the riot despite what this soft woke wants us to believe. Don't expect those who made this soft woke video that acts like there wasn't any good reason why the town residents didn't like those who came to spring break there didn't cause a ruckus. There's a reason Miami Beach doesn't want those who started the riot here to come to Miami. Oh how come I can't find any songs from PE addressing KKK Planned Parenthood and gun control racist origins and why 80% of KKK Planned Parenthood abortion on demand clinics are in Black communities. Oh wait they like Buying Large Mansions BLM are KKK Planned Parenthood biggest supporters. WTF?
*Prince don't OWN his own art. The company does. The company released it to PE.... Artists never own their own material... it's donated to the company and they simply get a percentage royalty. Dats how da hustle works* 😉
I came here to say pretty much this. Crazy how ahead of the time they were. They knew that the only way to hold police accountable was for the public to be able to record them.
This video just encourages division among the people. Bad cops and good people come in All colors. Any music/music/art that promotes media narratives and does not focus on encouraging people of all colors to come together to govern themselves, is propaganda.
This song and all their songs are still relevant today. Beats don’t go nasty like this anymore 😢 🔥 bomb squad, lord, flave n Chuck D and everybody just went crazy on these records. These songs put me in a trance every time
This vid bring back some memories! I used to rock the African medallions heavy back in the day, when this classic P.E. joint first dropped. Those were the days 👌🏾💯
for those of you born in 95...we had to deal with the same type of people. all we wanted was fun, peaceful protests and just live equally amongst everyone
The best track of the album "fear of a black planet", with also "fight the power"!! Timeless track with the same social problems! PUBLIC ENEMY N°1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My friends and I were at this incident, and witnessed/experienced the harrassment without provocation. We appreciated this video which chronicled and made public this terrible event. 🔥🙏🏼
Chuck D is in his 60s now and I'm 48. To this day this man is my HERO! I didn't jump on the bandwagon when It Takes A Nation, dropped. I was a fan since Yo! Chuck made me THINK, he made me WANT to learn who the people were behind names like Farrakhan, Chesimard, Vesey, etc. I was in the 10th grade in 88 and while I loved my school, they weren't teaching me about my TRUED kulcha. More to learn about than slavery, MLK, etc. I am ashamed to say I didn't even know who Malcolm was (another hero of mine) Chuck was the reason I became a Black Nationalist and me being an adult I don't feel I have to clarify, "I'm a Black Nationalist, but I'm NOT a RAYSIS!" Think what ya want to! Peace to the 98 Posse!
Straight punk Seriously I was into punk and metal and PE instantly appealed to me. They are heavy as fuck and telling truth the system doesn't want us to hear
Straight DC Hardcore Punk. But PE (and Beastie Boys) are my favorite Hip-Hop group. A big Slayer fan (13 times live), which Rick Rubin also produced and Kerry King played A lot of the guitar riffs on PE's 1st 4 albums. Early DefJam was a great label.
Street music for street people! Cheers from a lover of real (!) hip hop in Sweden! Happy new year folks - and take good care will you! Jesus Christ! We are not alone - at all! I'm 59! This very tune is the bomb! Peace - and love! God bless!

This is rap music, not the garbage we have today.
When you got an education along with a song
Real talk!
bffr
This is more than music

Prince guitar... expert sampling right there, so powerful!
Dear PE thanks for existing. 💎
For me, this album is the greatest rap album of all time.
I second that
This Canadian loves it
Facts. #realheadsknow

Definitely

My favorite, FAVORITE HIP HOP GROUP OF ALLLLLLLLLLLL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most IMPORTANT group in Hip Hop!!
The days when hip-hop taught you something! Truth tellers! Made u proud of what u were.
Exactly 👉👍
I cannot get over how INSANE this beat is.
Could never replicate the technique. Wall of the nastiest, grimiest, dirtiest sonics.
Same here 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Prince guitar riff.
@@black-dot-life 100%. And isn't that Prince screaming "Grind Grind Grind Grind" in the choruses?
@@Xillasun Yes it is.
Chuck D has one of the smoothest voices in music point blank period
It’s magnetically go along with any beats and he spits all conscious thoughts 💭 😂.
i used to think his voie was fake, same with rakim from eric b and rakim
Chuck D + Flava Flav= genius.
SALUTE TO THE BROTHERS IN ALABAMA 💯✊🏿
"study history not his-story", black folks need to do this more often from elementary to college.
The voice of Generation X and 90s Hip-Hop!!! Let's work IT OUT!!!🌍🎧✊🏽
millennials and genyers got nothin on us
@@debussychopin2766 I'm a millenial and this album is the first music I ever fell in love with. I was 7 yrs old, and it was 1989. 😉
Will we every work it out
@@debussychopin2766I’m gen Z and I love this album lol
UNdoubtly the best rap group of all time, 3 times awarded as BEST RAP GROUP
The best group of all time

rebel without a pause is the best PE song , but that is only my opinion

PE taking no prisoners as usual. Education for the masses, telling it like it is. MIGHTY music!
Public Enemy never wasted a video, their videos always added more content to the song.
Гитарные рифы просто безумные на заднем плане - качает до сих пор))))))🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Public Enemy are badass. Chuck D is a legend.
I wasn’t alive at their prime but I can feel their lines, I don’t think there will be another amazing conscious hip hop group like public enemy 😢
I was at Virginia Beach when the riot happened. It was crazy watching it happen. This video was in response to that. It’s hard to believe it’s been over 30 years!
I'm going there this Summer. I didn't know that until you mentioned it. I wonder if the locals remember.

Public has always had deep meaning in their songs. Truth tellers actually stimulating your mind with knowledge.
Knowledge and Wisdom = Understanding…..120 X 3 = 360 DEGREES .. Can’t Be 1….Have too have All 3…Not one or Too..
Real hip-hop
That guitar solo is so good in the background
We're living in a de - sensatised society. Songs like this unfortunately don't make enough noise for people to realise anymore.
Disintegrated
Disinterested
Chuck D: “Soon you will see what I’m talking about!” 👏🏾
Hahahah
The type of rap music with a positive message
Flav, Chuck D, Terminator X, and Griff laying it all out there! 🔥
Don't forget Sister Souljah
The prince let’s go crazy guitar sample drives me crazy fam. That shit 💩 is Ill. BOYYyyy
The best team ever... The community need this energy called hiphop... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 This style never die course is more than music...
Exactly, its energy, that's why it's in danger, massive dumbing down is in process..
It's a movement 😎✊🏽
The Greatest PE track ever! Timeless classic
Nah!
*Rebel Without a pause or a black steel in the hour of chaos* pisses all over this. 😊
Welcome to the Terrordome is up there.
@@SamarIqbal1-2-1 Ya man, Rebels my other favorite
*Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos".
@@ojstoical4044 "Can't Truss It" also bangin'
Classic joint with the classic Prince sample 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah the guitar...
Let's Go Crazy!
Public Enemy Bringing it!
Anothe great PE song, 2 songs in 2 days... Great!!!. From 🇨🇱 Chile.
Prince MUST have liked this track, cause he RARELY relinquished sample rights.
😂
@Mister Happy let's go crazy, the guitar sample in this song
This was before the sample police and artists (including Prince) were anal about people using their music for beats.
*Prince don't OWN his own art. The company does. The company released it to PE.... Artists never own their own material... it's donated to the company and they simply get a percentage royalty. Dats how da hustle works* 😉
@@LexusGX460-OFF-ROADThis is why Prince eventually had his own record label and fought for rights as an artist.
'90s hip-hop at its finest!
Hall of Famers. 🏆
PUBLIC ENEMY WAS no. 1 and GOD.
I really love the Polaroid scenes. Foreshadows a video camera in everyone's hands keeping the police theorhetically accountable.
👀
I came here to say pretty much this. Crazy how ahead of the time they were. They knew that the only way to hold police accountable was for the public to be able to record them.
We need hip hop to make a come back this is real music knowledge and power
Absolutely !!
Grime has been doing a good job of filling this gap atm, at least if you live in the UK. Kano is a BOSS.
agreed
And I second that

Hip hop classics like this will live forever.
Public Enemy Number 1!
This vid bring back some memories! I used to rock the African medallions heavy back in the day, when this classic P.E. joint first dropped. Those were the days 👌🏾💯
So did I! Although probably didn't look as dope since I was a 14 year old white English kid,,, My heart was in the right place.
I had the X joint
Red black and green you know what I mean
I have this on an old VHS somewhere...
This is a lot easier to access!
We need KENDRICK LAMAR with the bomb squad and we NEED AN ALBUM LIKE PUBLIC ENEMY
DROP IT!! Back Breaking Beat!! Goosebumps!!! Every time!!
The producers of the album is essential for learning.
I'm 50 now, I remember this like it was yesterday. White boys love this music too
Public Enemy always brings that heat always.
That searing Prince guitar sample.
I was at this shoot. Long Beach represent
Absolute iconic intro
Classic PE finally get to see this video in HD
The prince guitar sample is incredible
This PE album was super dope when it first came out. Amazing sampling, killer rhymes and dope beat. Still awesome to listen to taday.
FLAVOR FLAV 🖤

And now Miami 2022
Is it Jones Beach or Greek Fest they are talking about in the video?
How did you stay safe I heard they was randomly attacking black men for mo reason which is common today I can tell you from experience?
Yep I remember they were coming up on the pier with riot gear on.
@@ChristopherPoindexterGreekfest at Virginia Beach.

I'm 48 now and I remember this is 1990, sophomore year in high school. Watched it on mtv raps, I had the cassette
The messed up part we're still living this now like we did 33 years ago
2024 and beyond. One word to describe this Track, plain english "Dangerous "
Superhero’s of Hip Hop
knowledge + Wisdom = Understanding…..120 each x 3 = 360 Degrees…a jewel I just gave you …
Man that prince sample 👌 OMG.....
I had the maxi single cassette. Still bumps, just like it did in 8th grade. Beats and knowledge, nothing better. Especially during adolescence.
The, the, the rhythm, the rebel… Timeless track 👊🏻
The Bomb Squad greatest producers ever in Hip Hop ask DR. DRE..
P.E. is tooo Legendary 😃👍🔥🔥🔥
The Wall of noise of the Bomb squad in this track it's something epic!

This comment is so relatable to me. Hits me as hard as most punk or metal music
80s and the 90s it was real as real can get in Music
Chuck d had a powerfull voice , class original rap artist .
Public Enemy has an iconic fashion and it's very distinguished. Trendsetters and top 3.
Public Enemy to The World🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
