    I'm 15 and I've recently found Public Enemy and this song. This is one of the best songs I have ever heard and can't get my head around how this is not on everyone's playlist. I wish I could experience this in the days it launched; these early 2000s songs are ELITE. Big up to them and I respect anyone who loves this song!!

      I kinda think of them as double anti-systematic: they saw the bad sides of both the police and the street people, and they dissed both. Which is why their name, Public Enemy, describes them perfectly. I just love these guys, one of the rare people that understood what was really going on, and that unfortunately, still does.

But hey im not right or left but the so called left had to make a vaccine political. They are insane and just agree play stupid with them, they are now regretting it. I don't understand Why conservatives just use that to win a argument by some simple trolling. Why tell these ppl screaming at you to take poison that will hurt you and you try to change their minds which they wont, Just Jiu jitsu them about how its good and Im not a political guy, dont care for either side. This is how you just deal with the left side morons with simple trolling . Conservatives do mean well mostly and are way to nice. Now they regret taking it with complications showing up. Jiu jitsu tactics. They wanna poison you because their feeble minds believe the TV, then tell them how good it is. You kinda win at the end and i remember they tried to get family members who didn't want it to lose their jobs. So fuck em for being stupid and selfish. Never got this virus but ppl who took 5 shots get it several times in a year or 2. So it don't even work.

      wish there was more of this way of thinking in hip-hop, or at least more that got mainstream airplay; messages with mass mobilization, organizing, targeted revolution to end all that needless suffering...
      instead what is popular - for reasons unknown particularly among caucasian male suburban teenagers - instead the message(s) that seem to resonate are b--ches, $$, chemical induced self-destruction
      aggressively marketed to the young vulnerable masses by the unethical heartless machinery of capitalism

The PTB deliberately allowed the lowest common denominator to be ever lowered, because how will a pathologically infected population ever have the wherewithal to oppose the MI-C/Black Budget Psychopaths?
