Yeah! The lead scratch in the middle part sound taken from a scream on *"Ego Trippin" by Please (1976)* in The post break parte of the song. And the continuos high-pitched sound stabbed maybe from "Engine number 9" by Wilson Pickett.
Parents should show this to their kids to show them this was rap back in the day not now rappers bout money, women and fortune. There was public enemy spitting facts bout reality
I was the only kid in a small town rockin Public Enemy gear. I was a big hit with the rednecks and cops. 😉 I was called a wigger and a skaterfag every day. I still skate. Ass hats I went to school with are already circling the drain all fat, bald and chocked full of cholesterol. 😂😂😂 Love that karma.
Yes, Chuck’s voice and delivery is unmatched! His lyrics were very teachable, many black folks just wasn’t ready for Chuck! Now today they see what he meant in his songs!!! That’s how great of a rapper Chuck is!
They also died in droves on slave ships when they were sold by other Africans to the highest bidder . You fight a fire from the source , the source of their suffering was other Black men selling them . Still going on today worse than then , but no one wants to talk about that . Too close to home for race grifters who want to point the finger instead of accepting the truth .
The influence of music like this is why they destroyed mtv lol. I was 10 when this came out. I rode my bike to the store miles down the road, as a white boy, and this was the first cassette tape I purchased myself. The song hits you
Fool, no it's not, if that were true they wouldn't have played it, nor would BET had its own channel, it's all about money and viewership, oddly enough PE made plenty if it in such a racist driven country
What a perfect track this is and it is so relevant in these sick twisted times we find ourselves in. The lyrics, scratches and the quality is TOP notch! 👌🏾
Favorite Rap Group. Chuck D has one of the best voices. Lyrics are phenomenal. I have seen them in concert twice. My BFF's daughter is autistic and I taught- got her to say her first words... "Fight The Power".
I just want to say thank you for coming to Atlantic City///public enemy ////you guys should have a fantastic //fantastic job I hope you come back next year 2025////Atlantic City the convention center///and the rest of the hip hop///and the rest of hip Hop//thank you for all the hip Hop//entertainers
Damn right Chuck D was one of the best. I was born in 75 so I was witness to all the best rap. Chuck.D. KRS ONE ICE CUBE AND SCAR FACE were my favorites back then.
Apocalypse 91... The Enemy Strikes Black is came out on October 1st, 1991 and Shut 'Em Down is came out January 3, 1992! Happy Late 32nd Anniversary to this song.
I don’t care what anybody says. Chuck D belongs in the GOAT discussion.
No discussion he’s the goat everyone is playing for second
he doesn´t "belong" - he is one of the goats... no discussion about it!!!
THEE ONE
He's definitely in my top 1.
Yes....and Flav added NOTHING to this man's music. I never understood it
If Chuck D isn't in your top five rappers of all time you're wrong
Chuck D definitely one of the greatest to ever touch a mic!
Amen! If he's not in your Top 5, your list is incomplete...
The greatest, not one.. THE
Fuckin straight up
Definitely
Wellsaid #big speaker
This beat goes hard as fuck
The remix w/ Pete Rock is even better.
unbelievable scratching by TERMINATOR X throughout the entire song… rarely heard again. #PEno1
On God
Terminator X made me fall in love with scratching. Him and DXT on rockit
Yeah! The lead scratch in the middle part sound taken from a scream on *"Ego Trippin" by Please (1976)* in The post break parte of the song. And the continuos high-pitched sound stabbed maybe from "Engine number 9" by Wilson Pickett.
Apocalypse 91 is still one of the greatest rap albums of all time
Absolutely! 🎯
Was my first ever cassette 👌
What about "Fear of a black planet" ?
@@BigPandaInJapan a truly iconic record
Igor Time past i remember u
One of the best tracks ever, no doubt. 🙌
This should be the true national anthem!!!
Or the theme for the revolution against the great reset!

Kids these days are mentally deficient, They aren't intelligent enough to understand it.

How big corporations profit off black communities and never give money back
This and Low Profile Pay Ya Dues. Don't forget X Clan Heed Of Tha Brotha

Yes yes indeed!
The video of Bulls on Parade has the very same edit style of this one tbh
@@Jimmy1982Playlists just subscribed 👏🏾
Pure rebellion energy
Many rappers & fans never call Chuck D in the greatest rappers of all time list but he is definitely top 10 of all time...really really underrated
@@craigbuckton2808 Correct There are Prophets and there are Rappers just like Steak and Hamburgers ain't the same lol 😅😂😂🙌😎👍
Dudes in groups always get overlooked.
His ice cubes fav rapper
Yes, Chuck’s voice and delivery is unmatched! His lyrics were very teachable, many black folks just wasn’t ready for Chuck! Now today they see what he meant in his songs!!! That’s how great of a rapper Chuck is!
Shut up with that overused stupid phrase

Winter of 1991 this played numerous times over and over on in my Cutlass on our weekend cruises.
Yup my Teacher told us to watch this and come back to decuss this .❤

Terminator X, has some of the nastiest scratches out. Cold and grimey. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bomb Squad need to be on more top 10 producer lists. They changed the whole spectrum.
Most brutal rap song ever written.
Chuck D is smashing out as usual…one of the greatest PE tracks

Pete Rock Remix = Classic 🎧
Hands down one of my absolute favorite Preemo remixes. Fo sho homie.
Those horns are way too sexy in that song!!!!
Chuck D is a legend
"Black people died when the "other man" lied."
Not only.....i said poor people...
They also died in droves on slave ships when they were sold by other Africans to the highest bidder . You fight a fire from the source , the source of their suffering was other Black men selling them . Still going on today worse than then , but no one wants to talk about that . Too close to home for race grifters who want to point the finger instead of accepting the truth .

Bomb squad beats go hard in the paint
Great quality video.
About 30 years ago
P.E. made me fall in love with music and language (and social justice) at the age of 7, in '89. I studied them like scripture.
Same here, same year. I was 20 and trying to talk the band to playing P.E. covers. That wouldn't happen until the 00's though.
Nice playlists. 😃👍
I was 14
Don't be a Social Justice Warrior. SJW's are just insane liberals
@@Jay-iu4st Thank you, Jay! 🙏🏼
(Just saw your comment 😁)
We need this type of hip hop message to be more mainstream. Enough of the gutter nonsense.
No more autotune or 8O8s
@@melaninking199 no more 808s? Kid you heard of d nice?
They don't like the real power.
@JokersNtheOddball yes I have.

If music like this was still as influential as it once was….I’m betting that today’s youth would be very different.❤
Hard AF
