Music video by Public Enemy performing Night Of The Living Baseheads. (C) 1988 The Island Def Jam Music Group
#PublicEnemy #NightOfTheLivingBaseheads #Remastered #vevo
Chuck D is still the greatest M. C. nobody talks about.
I approve of this message
true story
James Smith And Kool Moe Dee
he is like Pac though, anyone that knows rhyme in detail know that they are heavy on skill and knowledge but low in variation with rhyme scheme. and of course both rap in a preachers elongated words
Couldn't have said it better, but true Hip-Hop Historians know...
They talk Wu Tang and NWA for best rap group of all time.... I'm sorry I vote Public Enemy! Beats , rhymes, message. This is the best hip hop group of all time in my opinion.
Public Enemy, N.W.A., Wu-Tang, the holy trinity of hip hop groups.

NATION OF MILLIONS: GREATEST HIP-HOP ALBUM OF ALL TIME
Yep no doubt
Summer of 1988 ✌🏾this was an education on wax 🙏🏿
And they hated it!
PE IS NOT JUST THE BEST HIP HOP GROUP. THEY'RE ONE OF THE BEST GROUPS PERIOD!!!
Exactly...period! This album was powerful!
BASS!!!!
This is a good as it gets..........
They are in my top 10 of any genre. Fucking awesome.
Yess
Intro by the great Ancestor, Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad.
Rest in power ✊🏾
The hardest intro ever in rap music. Dr. Khallid delivered again with an intro and outro for Ice Cube
WHAT?!?! I THOUGHT THAT WAS MLKJr. #wow
@@muskegontribune Just for Ice Cube to become an ally of white supremacist 30 something years later.
One of the dopest(no pun intended)videos…a message, barz, comedy but telling nothing but the truth. Chuck’s voice is so hip hop. May 2024 still listening to the gems they were giving out back in the day.
The black panthers of hip hop 💯
Chuck D. Will never be matched.
Facts....
@@johnwhitfield5376 HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHUCK D
I was a child when this came out..... Thank you Public Enemy.✊🏿
I barely understood English at the time, I was a white boy from an ex-socialit country and I was amazed by this video, I was trying hard to figure out what was happening... but I liked it a lot! :)
Me too. Haven't they aged so well??
Great comment.
That makes you a well adjusted forward thinking adult now .. good stuff
@@andrashajdu2425Great Take Away, You got enjoyment.
I wasn't a child when this came out but thank you so much
That Flavor Flav dance tho! He was putting in work!
Not only one of the best educated rap groups, but musically, one of the best of all time.
I loved Public Enemy and everything they represented. I still listen to this stuff like it came out yesterday.
Me to,, Yoooooo
Me three!
Longevity! Back then, I could break down the message in the verses.Take in what they was putting out. It's sad,Some things still apply right now in 2020!
Rap sucks now. These were the dayz....
@@caldwelljackson933 ]]
Public Enemy are The Rolling Stones of rap. NWA are the Beatles of rap. Period!
Public Enemy = The Clash, N.W.A. = Sex Pistols
A Nation Millions To Hold Us Back is one of the greatest Rap albums ever recorded PE didn't fuck around with the BS they educated us as they made us dance and party
Nobody gives Chuck D his due, even though Tupac said he was heavily influenced by Chuck D.
Good to know !! I wouldn't doubt for a second, he KNOWS trump is racist, let alone a NUT JOB, pathelogical lying, failed businessman, conman...Peace and God bless :):)
this was THE FIRST rap video that felt like a movie. hardest hip-hop video of alllllll tiiiiiiiime.
Flavor Flav the greatest hype man in hip-hop history
Spliff Star gotta be #2
he was smoking crack during this
so. so where a lot of rappers and entertainers a majority of the rap game was preaching crack is wack and shit and was smoking it back then.Some of our favorite rappers smoked or sniffed cocaine from that era they didn't glorify it.It's a equivalent to the syrup pills molly and all that shit the rappers glorify today.AM i Right?
SuckaFree 2017 and high the whole time..he was probably coked up, during this video😏
SuckaFree 2017. the greatest hands down
Public Enemy are a perfect example of timeless. Their music was and still is both ahead of its time and very necessary for its time simultaneously.
Can not believe this was over 40 years ago. It's impact I'd unquestionably unquestionable. TIMELESS!!!!!!!!
Str8 classic boss!
It's 35 years actually but true
40?! More like 35 lol, I was like lord I wasn't 5 when this came out
1988!!! Greatest year in hip hop!!!
Chuck D is so dope .. every word had feeling and true meaning..
The establishment in general would go nuts if big name rappers started coming like this. We need this right now.
I will always remember this video from Public Enemy, It was when I 1st laid eyes on MC LYTE ♥️, My favorite female lyricist of all time 💯
Without a doubt the pinnacle of PE. Important message from back in the day and just superb lyrics.
This video was genius then and genius now. NOTHING today touches the creativity mixed with the message that Public Enemy laid down (and still laying).
without a doubt the greatest rap group in history!!!!!
planestrainsandautomobile totally agree with you
NEXT TO "RUN-DMC"!!!
*W O R D*
When Music was MUSIC ❤
@@THEBIGSHAHEEDSHOW Next to Wu Tang!!!
GOAT‼‼ More Rock & Roll than most of the newer cats.... Real HIP HOP... Funk... Soul... samples⚡🔌🎺🎹🎸🎷🌃💽
Greatest rap video EVER made.
Wow!! The last twenty-eight years, flew by fast.
this is one of the greatest beats of all time.
that's the bomb squad,PE production team,they produced ice cubes first solo album in 1990
Incredible surreal/cubist sampling
🔥 2022
Delusional asl
Thank you James Brown!
The best anti-drug anthem of all time. ✊🏽
Still doper than 99.9% of any music out in 2022. ✊🏼

@@pittsburghpirate58 He is not going to do that! Lol😁
King was a COMMUNIST!!!
"You ain't gon' free him, and you ain't gon go see him......." Classic Flav.
Public Enemy are the Muhammad Ali of Rap: their rythms make you dance like a butterfly, their lyrics sting like a bee!
Shid. Tyson
Chuck D- Greatest voice in Hip Hop
Flava Flav- Greatest hype man ever
This type of lyricism had to be demolished by the industry.
It was just too many people waking up, questioning the system.
The 1% owns hip hop now, and you see what they want to condition us with.
The Illuminati took over hip-hop to use it as a tool for brainwashing the masses. That's why you now hear so little rap that addresses real issues, and instead you hear folks glorifying drugs, guns, gangs and other secret societies, and demoralizing blacks and brown women.
"Kanye for President"? Just shut up with that Trump puppetry. The Man rushed to brainwash Kanye right after he told the truth about George W. Bush not caring about black people during Hurricane Katrina. Meanwhile, the Freemasons seduced Jay-Z into being their hype man and spreading the Satanic slogan, "Do as thou wilt." His wife, Beyonce, doesn't actually deny their connection to the Illuminati in her song "Formation": Instead, she says folks are "haters" and "corny" for bringing it up. Wake up, folks!
Smart people are clever regardless
DLX Infinite 110% well said
I was 18yrs old in 1988 and I remember watching it on bet TV rap city when Chris was hosting the show at 3pm central time zone 26yrs ago but today I'm 45 wow!
I'm from nawlins aka new orleans the mighty 7th ward project called St Bernard project
Amexum Muur Indigenous Nawlin's
EVERY DAY .. I CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL AND CONTINUED MY EDUCATION WATCHING BETS RAP CITY...
cassie runnels I know you right my friend and it has real hip hop and raps music back then but today my ears open to classical hip hop and smooth jazz music not the bullshit junk we hear on radio station today
Me to bruh.
Bro, I was 3 and this is one of my earliest memories. Watching this video on Rap City or Video Music Box (NYC area). Recognizing MC Lyte. I remember when Chris Thomas was the first host of Rap City.
This the greatest music video of all time. The Beatles could not articulate a musical message so precise and accurate.
"aye yo Sherrelle kick the ballistics Gee"
*Shakes*
Flav is a legend!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
Flav was gacked out of his mind during this video lmao
It takes a nation of million to hold us back...........hands down their best album ever!
Don't forget "Fear of a Black Planet," another classic.
Nothing in the history of music will ever top this.
The greatest and most innovative hip-hop video ever made. No debate!!! PE: The Greatest Hip-Hop group of all time.
I am French and I completely agree🙂👍👍
The most Insane video in Hop Hop history!!! Off the fuckin hook!!!
Your vision ain't blurry.
So many great cameos!
I still get goose bumps when I hear that..."Bam"!!! They hit so hard!
This video was my introduction to one of the greatest, if not the greatest, hip-hop bands to ever come along.
this should have 200 million views.....
BEFORE RAP GOT SOLD OUT!!!
Terry Fountain sad but true
Everything's sold out now. Excuse me while I shed tears for hip hop.
fux u dave 😭 sad but true
Kurt Adams everything now is so unoriginal.. I mean ok nothings original but wheres the unique stamp on today's music.. aren't today's artist suppose to be making me grab my heart in some shock or something lol I mean damn.
fux u dave I agree . Everybody sounds the same . Hip hop never was this way its horrible
The Greatest Of All Time. PE smashed the Rap Game back in 1987. This Album has got to be one of the best Albums ever recorded. Any genre. Thank you Chuck.
Quarantined with these classics 2020. Long live Public Enemy! ✊🏾
Yooo Chris Thomas was the man on rap city. I so miss the 90's.
🇵🇷🤘🏾
This song changed my life it made me check myself and get off the corner
Love the samples that they interjected. "Listen": Masterdon Committee - Funkbox Party; "Two years ago and First come, first serve basis": Run DMC - Sucker MC's and my favourite, "Yo Herb": Salt n Pepa - My Mic Sounds Nice.
What about 'Word' (aka The Main Event) by Freddie B and the Mighty Mike Masters - straight up old skool right there. Peace.
I put this together to ROCK the bells Aretha Franklin Rock Steady
"Just in this Red Alert".lol
I love "Yo Herb"
Fame - David Bowie...when Griff talks
one of my favorites videos to watch when I come home from high school!!! Yo Mtv raps
1127char same here
In NY It Was Ralph McDaniels Video Music Box .. We Couldn't Get MTV In The Hood Yet lol
Suave I was thinking the same thing. VMB with Ralph McDaniels after school about 3:30 p.m.
1127char Mines too.....one of THE most creative rap videos ever. I really get hyped to this day viewing this video.
was that like jukebox network? where you pay for videos?
Mannn this meant everything in high school '87 - '91 🎤(x5)
When public enemy put that song out about bassing that was a wake up call to let everyone knows that was a reality to see.
Did anybody else catch that part at 3:00 when DJ Red Alert gives her the paper? She says "just in, this Red Alert"...lol
k c I've watched this video every since it dropped. Today I notice it for the first time.
What am I looking for ?
I noticed that when I first saw this back in '88. I was rollin on the floor laughing at that. I had just got my DJ Red Alert cassette 2 weeks before.
@@need-to-know- Me too! I absolutely lost it. Such a great gag.
@@CancerLicker plus, he walks out making a face at the camera! 😁
Best hip hop video ever. PE really used the medium to its fullest. Outside the old Audubon and seeing "Here it is - BAM!" as Bambaataa comes into frame. Gives me chills.
All the times I've seen this video and I don't remember seeing this cameo by Bam....mind blown 🤯🤯🤯🤯
You posted this 5 years ago and made me take notice today. Real talk never dies.
Everyone probably missed it but that's DJ Red Alert at 2:57. "Just in this red alert." Lol. He was more known in the 90's.
flavour flav dance at 2:00 is magical & unique ! P.E number 1 fo'r ever !
Public Enemy's old music is so relevant today! The truth.
MC Lyte was so cute.
SaySol- Ben Yehoshua still awesomely cute
Was? 😂😂
SaySol- Ben Yehoshua
Yup she is
She still fine ass hell.
@@KelzKelz absolutely!!
this was the hardest video out when this dropped!
I was about 19 when this hit. I could not believe what I was looking at. This was the greatest video 📹 I've ever seen.
This was the era. Music and our message.
One of the greatest music videos and songs of all time. Love the opening at the old Audubon Ballroom and the brief cameo by Papa Bam when Chuck yells "Bam!"
".. tha culprit used to jam & rock tha mic. Yo, he stripped his jeep to fill his pipe.
..an wander 'round to find a place.. where they rock to i different kinda (c'mon y'all) BASS!
Dayum, i was a 15yr old sophomore the 1st time i heard this, Terrordome & Rebel w/o a Pause. PE changed my life. Hell, Chuck prolly saved my life.
Purpose. (Me too)- my friends only heard Smith's, Depeche Mode, etc. while I rocked .."Nation of Millions" in my GLC.
Now I know why not many friends. Where are they now? STILL THERE. We gone!
Hip Hop had so much color, creativity, and energy just bursting out of its seams. Makes me sad it loss some of its vibrance, but Im thankful I got to live thru this beautiful period of music as a teenager
one of the greatest videos of all time 🙌🏾
Name one better.
I ain't no joke - Eric B & Rakim
@@djbhe no
I got a letter from the government the other day, I opened and read it and said they were suckas! That song comes close maybe the same affect on a different level.
When hip hop gave a damn about black and brown people! I miss this era!
Judah Tribe1969 Brown people WERE black people back then
U, Flav was actually high on crack while being filmed in this video. It normalized it, mocked the problem.
Word
Mostly blacks. Latinos tagged along lol
Judah Tribe1969 facts x clan public enemy a tribe called quest
THE GREATEST GROUP IN THE HISTORY OF HIP-HOP...
PURE CLASSIC!
MC Lyte fine self
100%, 5 out 5 star's lyric's and video. No flaws ! Chuck D forever !
+Dennis Diderot and you would know all about "low standards" judging from your comments! :)
pure intelligence...glad we grew up in this era of hip-hop
So serious
This video so muthafckin dope. peep how them horns dont stop in the video. genius also all the cameos , Lyte, Red Alert, Bam, etc the whole layout of this video serious dark with a little humor. peep how ut goes back the year .video starts 14 years ago. til that present day when crack hit. Deep apocalyptic.
"Just in, this Red Alert" Gets me all the time✊🏽🔥
Yo Sherelle ...kick the ballistics G!!!!!
What the hell ever happened to CONSCIOUS rap like Public Enemy, X Clan and Arrested Development? It's not like it wouldn't sell!
Gangsta Rap became the transitional trend circa 1990. Once NWA, came on the scene, nobody was tryna here all that peace and blessing messages from NYC rappers.
*****. That's the damn problem with WAY TOO MANY of our folks TODAY!!! Too much plastic, fake ass gangsta garbage music which has ruined a generation!
You know it!
Unfortunately, they would rather have clowns like Drake, Lil Wayne, and Meek Mill make money for them. Smh
oh come on. Kendrick is a start, at the very least.
This video scared the sh*t out of me as a kid but loved it at the same time because I knew their was a message behind all the chaos. Shot masterfully. Classic!
Story telling at its illest!
Back when hip-hop artists didn't endorse the worst shit going on in the inner city
Tony Bro sad but true
Ok that's a fact but were is the story time tho lol
WOOOOORD UP!!!!👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Evil Mack everybody came here after that vlad interview 😂 shit crazy how they had real base heads in it
Flava was smoking crack the whole time.
Rap today can't even come close to old school rap.
You Damn Right!!!!
Lmfaooo
you completely wrong
💯
Old school Crack head rappers
Real hip hop...a message. Speaking for the people.
Keep telling them
Higher Infinite Power Healing Our People
Happy 63rd Birthday Chuck D!(Born August 1, 1960)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂👍🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
I never noticed how when Chuck says "bam!" Afrika Bambaataa makes a cameo. And who hands Sherelle Winters the red alert? Dj Red Alert. Pretty clever, guys!
+Steve Biko Word. This is my first time noticing that too. You know you're official when you're stamped by Bam AND Uncle Red.
One of the top rap groups of ALL TIME, and one of the best rap videos of all time.
Chuck D has an amazing flow and timbre to his voice. Love him. Great guy, too. Hung w him and wife and daughter in ATL back when my friend taught his daughter violin and we visited them. About 20 or so years ago. Very wonderful host, had us over they took us out to dinner. Still have the pics!!! ❤
Chuck D and his mad Rhymes and Long Live Flava Flav they have both already went down in history when you hear that beat you know who that is God bless you Brothers
Born in '94 bumping this in 2015. Shout out PE.
+Dennis Diderot Not to rain on your troll parade. But you do know governments have been brainwashing people before you I or even miko were born. like is that news to you? how do you think Hitler rose to power. Stalin used his propoganda and many u.s. presidents do it , most recently bush 1, Clinton and Bush 2 and Obama . so who's to say the ones before except Maybe JFK who was unraveling the new world order way back then and that didn't end well for him now didn't it?
don't blame him, he's a little lil' wayne fan, who was basically one of Juvenile's little baby mc followers. then he did chopper city when BG outdid him too on cash money records... but this kid's probably a little kanye west fan, or even worse, and the more times you clowned, or taken, as a mark, like getting shot more than a couple times and bragging about that pathetic-ness is what makes you cool, OR a G[!!!].
Coolest logo. Ever
My cousin had it cut into the back of his high-top multilevel fade.
ASAP Fergs Pops designed it.
💯%Facts
@@oRuTRa45 v step
Yeah PE n Wu running a close foot race for the most iconic logos lol
That's a fact! Hands down best logo sticking to the meaning of their lyrics!
New York culture is something else, I wish I could’ve lived in New York in the late 80’s early 90’s
Chuck D is the greatest revolutionary MC ever
Dope production + Lyrics + Social Impact =Best Hip Hop Album Ever Period.
I remember this being dropped at Friday night house parties in the late 80's (and the rest of the singles from this album) it was a HUGE record & still relevant in 2020, if anyone reading this doesn't have "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" you need it immediately!
Shrivel a bone will never be repeated in a dope track. Mc lyte sounded as fresh as she did in the 80s.
This was a wake up call us today, salute to public enemy
This song is still bomb! This generation doesn't get true hip hop on the radio and most of them don't know what a conscious rapper is. All they are being fed is bull crap propaganda about materialism, sex, materialism, drugs, sex, and pure idiocy. Boogie Down Productions rapped about safe sex, Jimmy, with fly lyrics and knockin', beats... but these kids don't get to hear these classics or people like Immortal Technique or Phonte. It's time to change what goes in our spirits!
MissClayOkay That's the reason why i don't listen to rap anymore
MissClayOkay tell that to Kendrick
I really believe the reason behind this garbage music on the radio these days is to put people in the prison system. I have a relative in the music business, he used to own a studio in Manhattan and has moved it to jersey. He told me that in order for a rapper to obtain a major recording contract these days he has to be willing to advertise expensive products in his music. Now when u think about it that this music is supposed to cater to the lowest financial class in the country what sense does it make to advertise products they can't possibly afford anyway? Well u also advertise that in order to get the wealth needed for such items u need to hustle or sell drugs. They also make it sound like going to prison or jail is some rite of passage. The end result is a lot of young people get locked up. There's even a rapper named Rick Ross who was a former correctional officer!! How ironic is that?? He acts like he rose to the top from being done type of cocaine kingpin when in fact he was the one tellin the drug dealers to get in their cage! The real Ricky Ross is even upset that this man uses his name to promote selling drugs when he knows most of these kids are not gonna make it. I really would not be at all surprised to find out companies that profit from prisons have a hand in the rap game. As a matter of fact I'm like 99% sure that they do. Sad
Mike Lomez Yes! There are definitely some shady reasons behind it. I talk to the youth, but most of time I feel like that Wu-Tang lyric, ", but shorty's runnin' wild, smokin' cess, drinkin' beer and ain't tryin' to hear what I'm kickin' in his ear."
Yeah it's almost like they've been brainwashed to some extent. When I was younger in ny it was rare to see a lot of guys in gangs now tho it's like askin what sports team u root for. Just another way to get locked up and honestly with the incarceration rates we are looking at, we're gonna have more of us losing our rights including the right to vote than we did with Jim Crowe. It breaks my heart
True heroes of Hip Hop, legends !
🤯 . ..i need a late pass. ..
i just got chills watching this again. .. after all these years it's just occurred to me that in the intro when
Chuck says "Here it is, Bam" ,he also points to BAM. .. Afrika Bambaataa
The Bomb Squad is un-matched !!! . .. my god !!!
"You ain't gon' FREE him...and you ain't gon go SEE him!" Love it!
