A very dope reaction 😷! You are the only person on RUclips to react to this video 😇. Night Of The Living Baseheads was the third single released by Public Enemy from their critically acclaimed album It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back (1988). The song was written and produced by Chuck D along with The Bomb Squad. The lyrics deal with the effects of crack cocaine on African-Americans during the 1980s crack epidemic referring to the slang for freebase cocaine "base" or crack cocaine. This song reached #62 on the Hip Hop Singles chart.
This song uses more samples than any other song on the album, a total of 20 (including the sample of Chuck D saying "Bass!" at the start of the song "Bring The Noise"). The chorus of the song that asks "How low can you go?", refers to a person degrading himself/herself, rather than a dance. The song title is a reference to the film- Night Of The Living Dead, equating people addicted to crack cocaine with zombies.
Then Nation of Islam spokesman Khalid Abdul Muhammad is sampled during the music video opening of the song with the words "Have you forgotten that once we were brought here, we were robbed of our name, robbed of our language. We lost our religion, our culture, our God ... and many of us, by the way we act, we even lost our minds."
The official music video for the song was directed by Lionel C Martin. It features MC Lyte as a reporter and Flavor Flav appears as co-anchor of a fictional TV news program: PETV. The video shows footage of the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights, New York City (After Malcolm X left the Nation of Islam in 1964, he founded the Organization of Afro-American Unity aka OAAU). The weekly meetings of the OAAU were held at the Audubon Ballroom and it was at one of those meetings on February 21, 1965 that Malcolm X was assassinated.
During the video MC Lyte searches for 'baseheads' and finds them on Wall Street where executives are caught sniffing cocaine, pointing out that drug use is viewed differently among black and white communities. In another scene, Chuck D is captured by the racist, anti-rap group the "Brown Bags". In the middle of the music video a TV commercial is shown of a "beeper tie" which allows drug dealers to appear respectable. In another scene a reporter played by comedian Chris Thomas, talking like Richard Pryor, investigates a crack house showing what crack addiction does to families.
The guy who you asked- who is that?, is Chris Thomas a comedian and former host of BET's Rap City where he was known as The Mayor Of Rap City.
Fun Fact 🤠: Flavor Flav (William Drayton) is from Freeport, New York. William Drayton's stage name Flavor Flav was originally his graffiti tag. Flavor Flav met Chuck D in college at Adelphi University. Flavor Flav and Chuck D first collaborated on Chuck D's hip hop college radio show then began rapping together. Flavor Flav co-founded the group Public Enemy with Chuck D in 1985.
The man is the “MAYOR” of Rap CITY.
That building PE is rapping in front of, is where MALCOLM X was assassinated.
Public Enemy is from Long Island, NY.
Chris Thomas was a popular comedian in the 80s.
Mc Lyte you can check out her song 1. Cha Cha Cha, 2 .Why Oh Why Did I need Cappuccino 3. Poor Georgie 4. Ruff Neck 5. Stop Look Listen 6. Lyte as a Rock 7. Shut the f up! And she's also On The 1989'' Classic Self-destruction. These are a few of her Classics from back in the days.🎶🔥🔥🔥😎
The first few that you mentioned, I did those
Flav is from Roosevelt, N.Y. in Long Island.
A lot of Public Enemys videos were almost like documentaries within a music video...the album version obviously doesn't have all the interruptions. "By the time I get to Arizona', 'Can't Truss It' and 'Hazy Shade of Criminal' also have some heavy video storylines (without the 'interruptions')
The reporter is comedian Chris Thomas. He was the "mayor" of Rap City back in those days. He was doing his impressions of Jesse Jackson and Richard Pryor while reporting in the video
Gave this a “like” just because it was a genuine reaction 😊
Be sure to know that Johnny Juice Rosado scratched in Bassheads. Terminator X scratched live, but Johnny Juice was their studio DJ and more advanced. Check out Don't Rhyme For the Sake of Riddlin' by Russel Myrie. I've listened to Public Enemy for many years, good to see that you give them a chance.
This is my favorite group of all time.
another great reaction video loved it thumbs up shoutout to you peace❤
This video concept was dope at the time. I do wish they did a music only version though.
Cha cha cha
I did that one
In 1986'' 87'' Public Enemy At that time was not your average kiddy Hip Hop group. On Their album covers And most of their video's they looked very militant And alot of theirs songs were very Political. Night Of the Living Baseheads was a song made. Due to the ''Crack Epidemic'' that was going on in the United States in the early mid to late 80s, And it was'nt just Poor blacks who were smoking Crack cocaine It was also White people in Corporate big buisnesses as well.🎶🔥🔥🔥😎
Some more MC Lyte songs that you haven't reacted to are 🤓: Stop Look Listen, Freedom (w/ Queen Latifah, Yo Yo, TLC, Salt n Pepa & Nefertiti), Cappucino, Ice Cream Dream, Eyes Are The Soul, H.E.A.L. (Human Education Against Lies), When In Love, Ride Wit Me, Wonder Years, I Go On & Everyday.
