Facts. And it taught me what the black man was up against at the age of 12 lol. Our music was street and educational. Something these young fools don't have these days smh.
music is music- tru dat. wish had we had all realized that back then. it couldna been no east coast west/coast beef and maybe biggie and pac would both still be here. cubes lyrical skills got better and better afterwards. but production wise- amerikkkas most wanted was the best he put forward... but thats just my thinkin- u might be right.
Vlad u MUST make OG Chuck D a regular. His wisdom and knowledge of what hip hop is, will need to be documented to educate the current generations and the many to come after that.
@Spread Love I have to respectfully disagree. There aren't too many living legends like him who can not only give a true account to certain artists, situations, etc. But can shed light on the science behind many hip hop icons we grown to love today. Hip hop history is rich beyond the obvious (drugs, beef, and money). He won't be here forever and documentation is necessary from one who embodies what hip hop is. Not the rapping art form but the whole culture.
Chuck D is an absolutely amazing guy, so much knowledge, is there ANYTHING this man can't talk about...from hip-hop to rock, production to labels, Dropping Knowledge on fools like its just another day...MUCH RESPECT!! 🐐🐐🐐🐐
(1) Takes A Nation Of Millions (PE) (2) America's Most Wanted (Ice Cubes) (3) The Chronic (Dr. Dre) All 3 are the most iconic masterpieces albums...ever.
Love that he gives Too Short props. I'm from Philly, I became a fan in 88 with Life is Too Short, but my friends in Philly and NYC cousins didn't mess with him at all lol. The East in general (Boston to DC) hated on him, but my cousins in SC loved him during that time. The South knew what time it was early...
What Chuck said about Michael Jackson and LL Cool J is so in point. The Beyonce era has very little idea of how huge those people were at the time.... No disrespect to Beyonce.
@@jasondawson92 they were cool but Karyn White and Vanity are nowhere near the names they're discussing... the only one you named that was iconic in her era that's comparable to what Janet and later Beyonce were is Diana Ross
Chuck D is on my list of heroes. "It Takes a Nation of Millions..." changed my life as a white kid from the Chicago suburbs. Much respect. Now, always...
Chuck... you are still the King in my opinion. Everyone knew and loved Flav, including me, but the real PE fans like me and my friends knew that Chuck definitely was and always have been the man in PE. I remember reading your PE album covers and you would always try to mention as many hip hop artists as you could think of on the back of the cover, regardless of what part of the country these artists were from. I thought that was very impressive. You were all about unity from day one. And this was the beginning of the beef rap era with LL and Moe D. You have always believed in respecting everyone, which is one of the many reasons why I have so much respect for you til this very day. As far as I am concerned... Chuck.. you are still the King.
Willie, Ive always thought exactly that as well. Right from the time i started bumpin PE. Chuck, is the main reason i became a hip-hop junky, back in 88. After i first heard Don't Believe The Hype, music was on a whole new level for me!!!
November 23rd,1988 The Bring the noise tour came to the St. Louis Arena. It featured EPMD, Ice T, Stetasonic, NWA, and Public Enemy!!! MY first concert I paid to attend. I was 15 years old, a sophomore in high school and in hip hop HEAVEN!!!!! Thx Chuck!!!!!!!!
Chuck D messages STILL resurnate in my head as a voice to be reckoned with for years to come, and I'm 58 years old. I really miss his vocal flows in his songs.
I used to bump "Once Upon a Time in the Projects" a lot back in '90. The production on that album was real good and it helped that Cube was already legit.
To the younger generation, Public Enemy was the greatest live performance group of all time, their concerts were unmatched and absolutely hyped as hell!!!!
Chuck D is the real deal and still looks the same as he did over 30 years ago. He definitely has taken care of himself no doubt my love and respect for this man 💯💯💯
Chuck D is the SUPER GLUE that holds all the different hip hop regions & styles together. He's quietly the most important hip hop figure ever as well as the most universally respected by ALL. Nobody else is even close. KRS ONE is a distant second. FACTS
Death Certificate is Cube’s masterpiece. It’s a concept record that stays listenable which is hard to do. Amerikkka’s Most Wanted is probably my favorite Ice Cube album though, the energy and anger that he managed to focus into that album is so amazing. Kill At Will is Cube really showing his growth. Jackin For Beats is so dope how he flips styles. Ice Cube is probably top 10 MC’s of all time.
PROBABLY?? He's most definitely TOP 5 in mines, simply because he studied the game and knew what lane was his and where he wanted 2 eventually be at, which is right next 2 CHUCK D, as his understudy and predecessor 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
What a brilliant interview, Chuck D is an icon! Public Enemy are one of the best Hip-Hop groups ever!! I remember when rappers like L.L. Cool J, Ice Cube, Big Daddy Kane, Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee, Grandmaster Caz & Run-DMC were so popular, brilliant times!!!
SUNGLOW RAYZ: He made tooooo many chick songs. The machine gassed him and told him that your winning with the chicks so talk to them "exclusively" them. LL never realized that he wasn't Prince or Mike Jackson. That younger chicks didn't gravitate towards him. Also I don't care what no one says once a music artist moves away from the music into the film and tv medium, that artist is going to lose his musical edge. No man can serve "two masters"
Much as I criticize Glad, interviews with the great legends, I appreciate when he has those types of interviews. It’ll be nice if he could get a Cube interview.
Man!!!! Chuck D What a humble great brother who I never met. He is so responsible for a huge part of spreading knowledge and feeding positive information to the masses. I was introduced to him thru the home video of PE and of course and who could forget, It takes a nation of millions to hold us back I was 19 and I played it so much and memorized all the lyrics of Chuck's lines I was Chuck D the older brothers around when they saw me would say " here comes lil Chuck D." My APOLOGIES i should be addressing him as Mr Chuck or Bro Chuck. I needed to put a handle on his name because he has been and is so valuable to and for us💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿👍🏽🙏🏿
Salute to the OG for shouting out Shy D, one of the hip hop pioneers from ATL👊🏾 These so-called hip hop historians leave out his influence on hip hop in the south. He was actually being lyrical and was very big in GA and FL.
@@jayaallday8516 Every old-school rap battle in the 80's. It was usually one song blowing up, then a bunch of other rappers responding to it over the instrumental. Jacking for beats was the first DJ style compilation of different beats on one song. Definitely a game changer.
Public Enemy needs to have a movie showing them influencing all of the different hip hop acts. That would be a more interesting story than Straight Outta Compton.
@MrB0gart There's no way to scientifically quantify the influence of rap groups.There's a gang of hip hop crews and individuals that influenced and shaped hip hop either directly or indirectly.Indeed PE and the bomb squad in particular influenced the hard-edged,outspoken content of nwa,though they were totally different groups. But sense we're talking about influences Flash and the Furious 5 (and particularly Melle Mel)are the true pioneers of the kind of social realism in hip hop that would be the foundations for gangster rap,trap,drill etc. And I agree.What's old was often far superior.(Though not always.) And that certainly can be said for one legendary rap crew more than any other - the Herculoids. This sound system/crew contained the first hip hop dj,emcees(coke la rock,timmy tim,clark kent,labrew,sweet 'n' sour etc),female solo emcee(pebblee poo) and two of the earliest b-boys(the nigga twins). In other words they established the very template that every crew you mentioned built entire careers off of. If that's not good enough for you then cats like Schoolly D,Too Short and Funkmaster Wizard Wiz were cursing,talking about pimping,street gangs,street violence and utilizing shock to provoke years before nwa ever did. Furthermore Rakim influenced today's crop of emcees 100-times more than Quest ever has. (Indeed Kendrick and Nikki literally sound nothing even remotely close to Quest.) Not to mention every artist today and throughout rap history that raps fast,utilizes metaphors and multisyllable words are forever indebted to the Treacherous Three. Yeah,money.It's funny you mention wikipedia,considering that every single artist you've mentioned reads like the millennial list of hip hop greats. Now go sit yo' corporate ass down.
In my opinion on LL’s music “Walking With A Panther”, is his best and most slept on album in his career. It had banger after banger, I didn’t like “Two Different Worlds”, but the rest of the album...mad dope.
I can’t live without my radio, I’m bad, rock the bells, Jack the Ripper, I need love, booming system, around the way girl, jingling baby, mama said knock you out, I need a beat, go cut creator go, headsprung, going back to Cali, and the list goes on and on...
AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted was Cube's best work! Periodt. Never knew any artist as hungry as he was at that time even till now. Every track was great! It's a hip-hop opera. I bought AmeriKKKa's and Death Certificate on first day. AmericaKKKa had a stronger impact at the time (not in retrospect).
Love how Chuck controls the interview, makes it flow much smoother than when Vlad throws in his opinions. Hearing about shows where 2 Live Crew and Too Short opening up for Public Enemy, sounds like a odd ass line up. 😂😂
Man I remember seeing a whole row/section of "Kill at Will" Eps sitting on the record shelves..... about 25 images of Ice Cube handing that gun over..... and I started laughing out loud...... when I finally bought it and heard it, I was blown away
(12:45- end) Chuck spoke the truth and RAN WITH IT! Took the exact words from my mouth! History. . .It´s the intensity of the moment you cant recreate! Art is Artificial. So much wisdom
I'm 50yrs old now but as a kid I had a long jerry curl and I was tall when my mom bought me a "knock off" Michael Jackson Billy Jean jacket and when I wore it to school the girl went crazy!!! It was insane!!! They bumrushed me...
Great comment about how the atmosphere at the concerts cannot be understood unless you were there.The anticipation and the energy were unreal for Hip Hop and Funk music.
Off topic, Props to Too Short, We were listening to him in Detroit from day one. Growing up I don't know anyone that didn't know the lyrics to Cusswords back in the day.
Chuck has the most powerful voice hip hop has ever heard GOD bless him very grateful for his contributions to the art of rap he always sounded like a mature grown man from day one!
@@kookutta you and him are both tripping no rapper was making no Michael Jackson,prince or Lionel Richie look back,tired of folks acting like rappers were on that kind of level, Michael Jackson alone stopped the whole world and had folks hooked on thriller,you can't put the ten best rappers on their best day commanding that for 6 months no rapper seeing no prince or Lionel Richie,truth is we're it not for James brown then alot of rappers would have been stocking selves,stop revision history turkey
Nawll fool you the one trippin i remember one of those top magazines back then had a cover of micheal and ll and the mazine cover said "whos da baddest"..micheal didnt even write his own stuff and if they wasnt concern about rap why micheal em started doing songs with them.
@@kookutta you are a cornball no nothing turkey they asked whose bad after MJ had a career from 69-87 dumb turkey that's a 20 year career to a newbie, Michael Jackson wrote songs, while a turkey like you couldn't get your Jerri curl on straight,you need to stick to your lane because turkey you clearly don't know how talented and how bad Michael Joseph Jackson was,I ain't got time to educate a lightweight on music like you about Michael Jackson,you don't wanna go rounds with me turkey
14:01 Honestly that was the first time I've ever heard the origin of the word ''art". Thank you professor Chuck D for dropping a crucial bit of knowledge amidts a philosophical analysis on the history of hip hop that began with a simple question... How did he become the producer for Ice Cube's first solo project? I learned much more than I expected when I hit play on this video.
DJ Mr. MILES I saw PE when Digital Underground with Tupac! Before the show begin, Flav had ( I believe his oldest) his daughter with him waving at the crowd! The energy he brings and the whole group brings was incredible!
Feeling like this whole Chuck D interview is probably the best Vlad interview ever! So many gems.
Yeah because he ain’t trying to get him to snitch on himself because Chuck is a straight up dude.
Facts, he just needs the bomb squad on there. Hank is a genius
People say that shit is legendary but this is truly a legendary story. The birth of features.
VLAD does his research!
Agreed... one of the best.
Chuck D is a legend but doesn’t get the recognition he deserves
Most new york rappers from that era dont
So true. So sadly true.
Depends on whose giving the recognition. All the real ones kno
He gets it in Europe
Facts bro!
I'm born & raised in East Harlem NYC...Death Certificate is hands down his best album! Doesn't matter where you're from, music is music!

Man I remember seeing a whole row/section of "Kill at Will" Eps sitting on the record shelves..... about 25 images of Ice Cube handing that gun over..... and I started laughing out loud...... when I finally bought it and heard it, I was blown away
Jacking for beats..the first remix ever..salute cube
Here you have an intelligent, humble grounded leader of Hip Hop culture. Respect 🙌
Those first 3 Ice Cube albums are sick.
(12:45- end) Chuck spoke the truth and RAN WITH IT! Took the exact words from my mouth! History. . .It´s the intensity of the moment you cant recreate! Art is Artificial. So much wisdom
Ice Cube's 1st album is 🔥
I'm 50yrs old now but as a kid I had a long jerry curl and I was tall when my mom bought me a "knock off" Michael Jackson Billy Jean jacket and when I wore it to school the girl went crazy!!! It was insane!!! They bumrushed me...
Once upon a time in the projects, YO!!!
Kill At Will is my favorite piece of work. That jacking for beats is my favorite. I went crazy and listened to it over and over and over... memories.
I can’t stop listening to AMW. Cube over Bob Squad production...damn! He should have been on the fight the power remix
*BOMB
Great comment about how the atmosphere at the concerts cannot be understood unless you were there.The anticipation and the energy were unreal for Hip Hop and Funk music.
Off topic, Props to Too Short, We were listening to him in Detroit from day one. Growing up I don't know anyone that didn't know the lyrics to Cusswords back in the day.
Defiantly one of the best interviews on Vlad TV. Chuck D got a wealth of music knowledge!!!
He's is so much more. I have never heard interviews I have enjoyed and learned so much. He's not just an artist a teacher too.
Amerikkka's most wanted was also my favorite Cube album.
One of the BEST HIP HOP INTERVIEWS OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!
GOT THIS WORK
Talk HEAVY Chuck!!
Incredible interview. Thanks a Chuck, Thanks Vlad.
Ice Cube talked about them Jews on Death Certificate so of course we understand Vlad!
lol just one song but of course it contaminated the whole album so he'll never acknowledge it.
Victor Lazlo Lol no it wasn’t just one song.
@@alishabazz7431 what other song besides no vaseline?
Victor Lazlo True 2 da Game
@@alishabazz7431 Enough Said...Salute!!!
Chuck D got that voice that commanded respect, its like your dad telling you to do chores and shit lmao 🤣
8:28 “...Mrs. Butterscotch.”?
Maybe he meant Mrs. Butterworth?

Ice Cubes best album:
AMERIKKKAS MOST WANTED:
Endangered Species
Rolling With The LynchMob
Death certificate
Introduction Tv
The Predator
I need this entire interview. Chuck D is easy to listen to.
CHUCK D = GAME
Amerikkka's Most Wanted is one of my all-time favorite albums along with It takes a Nation
Why you do Chuck dirty and go all in his nose like that... Chuck is a legend! Show that man some respect.
I always loved Chuck D’Souza voice... ever since I first heard “Bring The Noise” !
Dope album
My favorite cube album
D WADE IS THE GOAT the energy is so raw.
Absolutely love Chuck D.
He’s right bout LL. LL might be the first rapper to become a household name.
Facts
Nah, Run DMC were.
@@stephenheath8465 he didn't exactly say solo.
Chuck has the most powerful voice hip hop has ever heard GOD bless him very grateful for his contributions to the art of rap he always sounded like a mature grown man from day one!
Damn... I don't think I've ever heard someone say "Art is short for Artificial"... hmmm. Let think about that for a second.
That caught my attention as well. As a flat statement, not sure I'm buying that. Within the context he's speaking on it, maybe. Sharp dude though.
Indeed. Lends a completely different perspective on the word "Art".
Artistry
Artist
Artistically Expressive
Man I love this Interview with Chuck D. So much knowledge, a legend
LL Cool j is one of the best to ever rock a mic, however Michael Jackson and prince weren't sweating, LL is bad however not on those cats level
He didnt mean they were worried bout him he just mean that they look back and saw notice him in which they didnt with no other rapper during that time
@@kookutta you and him are both tripping no rapper was making no Michael Jackson,prince or Lionel Richie look back,tired of folks acting like rappers were on that kind of level, Michael Jackson alone stopped the whole world and had folks hooked on thriller,you can't put the ten best rappers on their best day commanding that for 6 months no rapper seeing no prince or Lionel Richie,truth is we're it not for James brown then alot of rappers would have been stocking selves,stop revision history turkey
Nawll fool you the one trippin i remember one of those top magazines back then had a cover of micheal and ll and the mazine cover said "whos da baddest"..micheal didnt even write his own stuff and if they wasnt concern about rap why micheal em started doing songs with them.
@@kookutta you are a cornball no nothing turkey they asked whose bad after MJ had a career from 69-87 dumb turkey that's a 20 year career to a newbie, Michael Jackson wrote songs, while a turkey like you couldn't get your Jerri curl on straight,you need to stick to your lane because turkey you clearly don't know how talented and how bad Michael Joseph Jackson was,I ain't got time to educate a lightweight on music like you about Michael Jackson,you don't wanna go rounds with me turkey
@@mrmaxxx94 why yo lipz red dude..lmao. You got red lips with a curl..no mo talk
An early 90s camp with P.E., Cube and Pac as its foundation would have been so impactful on the culture.
Learn something new everyday.
America's Most Wanted .....Masterpiece
keep aunt jemima,uncle ben etc. on the product that's imspiring for young native black people's to own our own peace.
Black people were used to sell these products. They're not black owned, or am I misunderstanding your statement?
14:01 Honestly that was the first time I've ever heard the origin of the word ''art".
Thank you professor Chuck D for dropping a crucial bit of knowledge amidts a philosophical analysis on the history of hip hop that began with a simple question... How did he become the producer for Ice Cube's first solo project?
I learned much more than I expected when I hit play on this video.
and LL Made the first love song "I Need Love"
Naw LL's first love songs were " I can give you more" and " I want you"
Definitely not the first
*Love Hip Hop song
@@odysseuselysium3368 excellent hip hop history
@@ared5224 thanks.
These youngsters don't understand where hip hop was created or who paved the way for them, thanks old school family for all the wonderful years.
Chuck D mentioned my city B'more I like how said Baltimore Ballymore lol
Hahahah!! I saw PE at the Arena when I was around 18!! Damnnn!! That shit blew my mind!
fun fact tho...Short got booed BIG TIME at that show in Bmore from what I understand. So did EPMD when they first came out with It's My Thing.
DJ Mr. MILES Damn
DJ Mr. MILES I saw PE when Digital Underground with Tupac! Before the show begin, Flav had ( I believe his oldest) his daughter with him waving at the crowd! The energy he brings and the whole group brings was incredible!
