When you really think about it it's kind of hard to fathom... Three consecutive platinum albums without a 'radio' hit. The way they captured the creative zeitgeist of the era ; inspiring new genres within the dance and alternative music scenes. The way they created a huge popular fan base while maintaining critical supiority is one of the most amazing achievements in modern popular music.
When I was kid, I looked at them like HipHop Aliens…..like this shit was out of this world 🌍 it take Million was the first rap album I ever owned. Then Terridome had me on some extra mental high shit. Forever my favorite group.
This is incredible stuff man, 100% hip hop, and if im correct the only instrumental hip hop video in history, just dopeness from those Long Island heroes
I miss there VHS tape from when I was 3yrs old. Yes my father and I are PE fans but my father passed after I turned 4yrs old. I watched the tape with him & this video brings that memory back as a kid & still a PE fan today. I just wish my father was still around to see PE still pushing it & goin in...
I remember seeing this on BET one time, and thinking why is it just the instrumental, did they mess up and play the wrong thing? This track still blows my mind!
The lyrics were considered very incendiary when the song came out, PE broke up and reformed during this time over Proff Griff so called comments against the Establishment.
A ultima vez que assisti esse video foi em 1991 fiquei chocado com as imagens e a batida dessa musica eu tinha 23 anos nessa época tenho o vinil do PE Chuck D Flavor Flav e Termineitor são rapers de primeira Public Enemy é rap de responda de verdade foi o ultimo grande grupo de rap que apareceu os caras são bons demais
When I bought the cassingle, I was more obsessed with the instrumental track, trying to hear every sample and trying to figure out which records they used. The cassette included Flavor Flav’s intro with a cappella samples from the song. Great track.
I remember this music video during the days of Video Jukebox Network, now as The Box Network. The instrumental version for this video has the footage from the 1989 VHS tape Fight The Power Live! The lyrics of that song was terrifying and scary for the Jewish people and community with the words like "Crucifixion Ain't No Fiction, So-Called Chosen Frozen, Apologies Made To Whoever Pleases, STILL THEY GOT ME LIKE JESUS"! That's the part where it scares both the Jewish American people and community. Also, Professor Griff wasn't with PE at that time when he got fired or kicked out of the group by Chuck himself. The S1Ws kept their wheels going without Griff and Sister Souljah came through later on. You can hear the lyrics on the album version. Griff was going solo at that time as well. Chuck himself kept the group going and going without stopping it. Thank God!! Anyway, I played this classic tune over and over for my workout jams. Love PE all the way!!!
(Cazzo!!!) I've been looking for this version for years; thanks for posting this! Seriously! (Saw this back when Video Music Box w/ DJ Ralph McDaniels was on Channel 31)
Malcolm, you can easily add commentary to stretch this out to 48 minutes solid You could've talked about the naked, elderly witch carving up the infant like a turkey for 30 minutes alone. Let's talk it out - we're here for it Cheers 🍻
Fun fact: They released this video as an instrumental because people were upset by the line “Now they got me like Jesus.” Those people underestimated how hard this beat slaps though.
Personally, the hardest song I've ever heard... The beat is just different and I feel only Chuck D could've done it💪🏿 I been trying to freestyle to this beat for decades and I just can't catch it, on beat, off beat, fast,slow🤷🏿♂️ That's the beauty of it😂😂💪🏿
One of the most unique and powerful beats in hip-hop history.
Facts!!!
One of the best beats in hip hop history! Real Warrior Music ✊🏾
those snares, thats straight napalm, shakers too, such revolutionary sound, straight up tight shit mixing

They were in TV and Radio.

This song is still hitting hard in 2024!!!
Love 2:33-2:40 Flav jumping off the platform!
Probably the most fighting instrumental of all time.
The most hardcore hip hop beat ever made
The Bomb Squad made that beat...
This instrumental hard af and the video just as hard!

Public Enemy # 1

Best production team ever
This is Public Enemy No1 song. In my opinion, no question about it.
For me it might be Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos, or same as you, hard to decide
I had this recorded video on VHS tape, I keep rewinding it over and over again I like how flavor dance to the beat too
PE never fails! From then till now! Riddim full of culture!
Flava Flav was a one man party back in the day. The best hype-man in the business.

This song woke up many black people and made us more unified they didn't want that...
@@laamkingent1 and instead they pushed the "gangster rap" more than anything
If you look the video is the message

Malcolm, you can easily add commentary to stretch this out to 48 minutes solid
You could've talked about the naked, elderly witch carving up the infant like a turkey for 30 minutes alone.
Let's talk it out - we're here for it
Cheers 🍻
DJ Khalid wishes he was half the hype man Flavor Flav was
Ha ha 😂

This is REAL HIP-HOP!

The mighty mighty PE in their heyday.
