I was there! at their tour of the UK, I went to 1 at Brixton Academy October 88, also there was Derek B (RIP) Bad Young Brother, I was was 18 at time (turned 52 yesterday 😉) went in the concert a Run Dmc fan, came out of the place a fully fledged Public enemy no1, what a night
I was a teenage white Jewish refugee from USSR who barely spoke English when I bought this tape. I knew lyrics by heart before I even knew what the words meant. Run DMC, Beastie Boys, NWA, Ice Cube, Ice T, LL Cool J, Eric B Rakim, Dr. Dre - what a fucking epic time it was for Hip Hop! Still have my old tapes and love to listen every once in a while on my old-skoool ghetto blaster. Respekt from USSR! :-)
@@jwarn82jw You do know what the Oral Torah says? Controversy in that sense is not just a Black social status aspect. Not to mention the music industry in the USA has plenty of Jewish power and money in it. Farrakhan was a friend to L. Ron Hubbard of Scientology. I would say, cults of a feather flock together. That said, he was and is still respected by many people of the black social status because of his involvement and activism in the Foundational Black American communities.
Brought nation of millions back in 88 when I was 14 (the album that took me away from the kiddie pop crap on the charts). Still sends a shiver down my spine when I listen to it. Amazing!
I'm a lecturer at a sound engineering college teaching music appreciation. I get to teach young African's about the History of Hip Hop. It's a highlight and honour to teach young Trap heads about the music that got me into producing beats.
Growning up in the UK - PE were everything in the 80's, so glad they came over to London to spread the Noise! Their Brixton Academy set was mind blowing!
Growing in NYC, this is the song I heard that made me politically conscious for the first time (Summer 1987) and today in 2023 is the first time seeing the actual original video. Of course this was shown in London, UK because music videos of POLITICAL Rap was rarely played the the US until the early 1990s (if you were lucky to catch them on Video Music Box, Channel 31- very weak reception signals, but who cared?).
Guess you only pay attention to mainstream music bc Killer Mike & El-P most definitely reflected on the times we are living in on their latest album RTJ4

This music is so full of energy. So many things going on in the background. The way pe delivers the lyrics with the orchestra going on in the backround, simply beautiful. So much fucking SOUL
The original London park video! One of the directors, Dominic Savage, went on to become a BAFTA winning writer and director, he's done loads of TV dramas. But it started here with Public Enemy, yeah boiii!
One of the best nights of my life was seeing PE live performing this song in Perth Australia as well as just about every single one of their biggest tracks. Being right up front of the crowd and getting fist bumps from Chuck & Flav.
Munich, Germany 1988. Concert with Derek B, Public Enemy and Run D.M.C.... I was 17 and in the audience were only white kids from Munich. Great memories!!!
I remember growing up and having to sneak this music into the house, listening on headphones so my father wouldn’t get angry and throw the cassette tapes in the garbage. My mom though, was helping me out anyway she could. Not only did I listen to PE because of the mad beats and lyrics, they were teaching me things about Black History I was never taught in school. Thanks for the upload. Love and Respect from NYCity. 🤘👊
As a white kid in the UK, I learned so much from PE in the late 80's and early 90's. Listening to them, Ice-T and Run DMC has been a huge influence on how I see the world.
MY dad threw away my metal tapes once and I had to go dig them all out... I came to really like PE cuz their collab with Anthrax and we already liked Beastie Boys and NWA too!
i saw this tour, the package with Eric B and ra, LL and PE, it was the best concert i witnessed- to be honest, LL was the hardest MC that time, and on stage he killed it completly: PE was on the verge of breaking out worldwide, it was just before it really was burstin out....still got the cassete tape and wore it out 100%, 80s was crazy and the BEST, never to be seen again- trust me.
when you have this much power and passion you don't need flashy visuals....people these days just don't get it.... they have a $10 song with a $1,000,000 video...
I was 17 years old living in Harrow borough NW London when I first heard this joint, can’t remember if it was before or after REBEL WITHOUT A PAUSE...now aged 48 I still rank PE as the greatest band (NOT JUST HIP HOP BAND) but greatest band ever⏰🎤⏰🎤⏰🎤⏰🎤⏰🎧🎧🎧🎧
I had never seen this shyt before and it zoomed me all the way back to being a 14 year old with my Hitachi cassette tape box in my bedroom. What a superb year for hip hop 1988 was. Thanks so much for posting this!
First rap album to ever go platinum. First rap world tour. First. Rap group to tour Japan. Let that sink in. Now we have mumbling for rap. We are going backwards.
When this came out the energy was bananas. I taped this song off the Red Alert show and the next day I played this outside and everybody wanted a copy. Played it 100 times till my battery died.

"Bring the Noise" Public Enemy, brought me here. "Here we go again" continues to sound off in my head when it's time to shift a get and get moving on something. Like every morning getting my girls off to school, lol! I've periodically searched for it on RUclips for over a decade and only now has it shown up.
I remember this classic tune well. Much respect to P.E. for making some unforgettable songs in the golden era of hip-hop. I heard that they struggled in the U.S. at the beginning but it goes to show how success often doesn’t come easy. True legends!!!
Public Enemy was SO at the top of their game in '88. I literally worshiped these guys when I was a teenager, to me they REPRESENTED what was so great about Hip Hop culture and Rap music.
awesome .....when i was a kid i didn't get the message ...but as a grown man ,,,they was ahead of there time ....civil rights activists in the form of rap .....Brilliant ....and today we have the likes oa a Trindad Jones ...smmfgdh.....shakingmymotherfuckinggotdamhead

Always will have respect for P.E. & what they brought forth to us raising our consciousness about who we are and standing up for justice! It's sad that other artist didn't pick up where they left off. I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck D & I will always cherish that moment. Much respect to KRS-1 as well.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater Pro brought me here. Played the game as a kid while I didn't speak any English so I had no idea what the song was about at that time. Fond memories though.
True, but Chuck's voice was very aggressive and intimidating, KRS did not have that like Chuck, lol Chuck scared white America with his attitude and lyrics! KRS was great but not as scary as Chuck tho
DJaySplitSecond Actually, Chuck D and PE always had a rather large white following. As a fan of both KRS and Chuck D, I'd say they both bring it strong, but Chuck D hits you like a bulldozer.
Feb 2019 STILL STRONG!!! My neice getn married to her wife in Oct and she PROMISED me i can request 10 old schl rap/ hip hop songs for her Mother n Myself to enjoy!! This is #3. Lets get married n come n talk to me are 1 and 2. GONNA BE LIT!!!
I listened to this album so many times that my tape melted, then I used my cd player and the laser stopped worked and now I've used up all of my mobile's data package! 🤣 #timeless #classic
The world loves Biggie and Tupac and it’s well deserved. But for me..., PE will always be the HipHop artist that stand above them all ! The vibe the voice the energy the message and the positive grind to uplift has no equal. Thank You PE✊🏾
The intersection of punk white kids and gangster black kids in the late eighties. I was right there and it was beautiful.
How does Chuck D not get mentioned as one of the best lyricists? Dude was crazy.
He is a Top Ten G.O.A.T. and this is for certain!!
Truth
He's the creator of the styles we hear today. His flow is what heavily influenced the pioneers of the triplet flow from the south.
He does
Number One for me

I can't overstate just how powerful Chuck's voice, & the whole sonic imprint of PE music was, back in the mid 80's.
"is", now and forever

As a metal head - I love the coord with Anthrax. Awesome. You guys rock!
Love the Respect between the two...
Check out the anthrax and public enemy version if you haven't already😅

Coming from a metal fan, this is very good. I wish more modern rappers were like this.

"time for me to exit, Terminator X it"...that was a crazy bar for 1987...chuck super underrated as a lyricist
Chuck D, with a DEEP VOICE, yet FAST, and FURIOUS FLOW! This should not be possible.
This album was so prolific. The master recording should be stored at the Smithsonian
1992 Brixton, went to see Anthrax went home with a Public Enemy T-shirt.
This is so Dope, this is the PE I remember from my childhood. Too Black Too Strong!
"Bring the Noise" Public Enemy, brought me here.
