Public Enemy, also known as PE, is an influential hip hop group from Long Island, New York, known for its politically charged lyrics and criticism of the American media, with an active interest in the frustrations and concerns of the African American community.
In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Public Enemy number forty-four on its list of the Immortals: 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Acclaimed Music ranks them the 29th most recommended musical act of all time and the highest hip-hop group. The group was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2007.
Chuck D put out a tape to promote WBAU (the radio station where he was working at the time) and to fend off a local mc who wanted to battle him. He called the tape Public Enemy #1 because he felt like he was being persecuted by people in the local scene.
This was the first reference to the notion of a public enemy in any of Chuck D's songs. The single was created by Chuck D with a contribution by Flavor Flav, though this was before the group Public Enemy was officially assembled.
According to Chuck, The S1W, which stands for Security of the First World, "represents that the black man can be just as intelligent as he is strong. It stands for the fact that we're not third-world people, we're first-world people; we're the original people [of the earth]."
On the track "Louder Than a Bomb" from It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, Chuck D reveals that the D in his nickname stands for Dangerous.
Developing his talents as an MC with Flavor Flav while delivering furniture for his father's business, Chuck D (Carlton Douglas Ridenhour) and Spectrum City, as the group was called, released the record "Check out the Radio," backed by "Lies," a social commentary-both of which would influence RUSH Productions' Run-D.M.C. and Beastie Boys. The group was signed to the still developing Def Jam Recordings record label after co-founder Rick Rubin heard Chuck D freestyling on a demo.
Around 1986, Bill Stephney, the former Program Director at WBAU, was approached by Rubin and offered a position with the label. Stephney accepted, and his first assignment was to help Rubin sign Chuck D, whose song "Public Enemy Number One" he had heard from Andre "Doctor Dré" Brown. According to the book The History of Rap Music by Cookie Lommel, "Stephney thought it was time to mesh the hard-hitting style of Run DMC with politics that addressed black youth. Chuck recruited Spectrum City, which included Hank Shocklee, his brother Keith Shocklee, and Eric "Vietnam" Sadler, collectively known as the Bomb Squad, to be his production team and added another Spectrum City partner, Professor Griff, to become the group's Minister of Information. With the addition of Flavor Flav and another local mobile DJ named Terminator X, the group Public Enemy was born." Public Enemy opened for The Beastie Boys on some of their East Coast concerts, including Philadelphia, Newark and Brooklyn.

Public Enemy will always be timeless man.
Definitely 💯
True legends.
0:22 That bass drop is always my favorite part!
Can't listen to PE without getting inspired. Never quit or gave in to any hype, always stayed true to their message. Positive example.
These music videos should be shown in schools and studied. The musical testament of Public Enemy has left us a great legacy message: only the culture will make the truly free peoples. NO ONE will show never more music videos where you see weapons that are turned into books and notebooks. Let us always remember this video, perhaps it is the last trace of civilization left in this world.
I agree
Damn. Well said.
Bibiana Giraldo yeah
Bibiana Giraldo . You are correct 100% Bibiana Giraldo! The media wants to keep all Humanity asleep, so we do not here the truth! Peace😀🤙
Are u delusional luv? The last shread of civilisation..? have u any idea how brutal humanity has been in the past? The reason we can communicate on this platform now is cuz of how civilised we have become. And we have never been more civilised than how we are now. FFS, Once upon a time you wouldn't even been able to speak unless instructed to by a conquering army. Men invaded, enslaved, raped and controlled other cultures after murdering its leaders... And u think we arnt civilised now? WOW. You're an ignorant one aye?
I'm bumping this shit right now on i285 in Atlanta. Damn , thus shit will never go old . 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
On that D.T connector in the A.T.L
Man I love this whole album still. I think it was EXTREMELY underrated back when it came out.
2:04 "Rappers rippin' a lyrical kickin', finger-lickin'
But to the rhythm, I'm givin', but never cotton pickin"
This might be the best rap lyric ever written 👌🏻
Masterpiece!!!
These 90’s beats by Public Enemy were so hard. Great rhythm and flow.😮
Sat in a beer garden in bristol with headphones in enjoying this classic track, 😊
Highbury vaults?
My dad had this on CD and I used to sneak it into my room and listen to it over and over. Haven't heard it for what must be approximately 20 years, but it still sounds great
Great music is timeless. This still slaps. This my favorite pe song!
Chuck D has the best rap voice period and Flav was the best hype man ever.
On my list, he's #2...DMX, would be #1.
@@Nubiangent1DMX brought that righteous pain. Chuck D brought the pain killer. Both legendary on the same level IMO
@@tcb9775 "The Righteous Pain" & "The Pain Killa"...Damn that's good! I like that and agree.
Oh hell yeah!! I was a madass PE fan back in the day! Even dressed up as Flavor Flav for Halloween back in ‘90, had the clock, glasses n all! Always used to argue w/diff ones on who had the best voice in rap to which I always chose Chuck D! Something about that deep tone of his when delivering... idk, always got me pumped up no matter the track! They were the best!
@@DT24K Chuck and Flavor are dressed and looks very modern even in 2020.
I like public enemies message, to rise above the dope and gun game and to aspire to something greater. They were one of the few bands that promoted a positive message to the younger generation.
Too bad the message never got to the black community and instead you’re labeled a sellout and not “real” if you’re not a thug.
@@davidporter671 most are fake OGs now anyway man with the exception of a few, no real gangbangers at all just using it to hype their music. The days of reality rap are over its all fake shit now.
❤
Chuck D's flow is just awesome.
Takes me back to July 5, 2022, when I first saw this music video on MTV Classic!!😊
Public Enemy. My moral center since 1989. Fine, I'm white, I just loved them growing up. Chuck D is my hero. :)
We reverse oreos lol Chuck D is my hero too boyyyyyyyyy
10th grade went from all black school to a mixed race School and a white classmate allowed me to dub the second Public Enemy.
Muskegon Big Reds!!!!

This is a public enemy announcement. I grew up listening to public enemy for 2018 - 2019
Drill and mumble rappers needs to listen to this...I believe the gangster rap era failed this new generation of kids..if only these type of rap continued we would have gotten a more healthy and whole young men today!!
We gave up our rich and prosperous heritage for Gangsta Rap.

Public Enemy - Give It Up "The BOOM Classic 2016"
Sick beat
PE - never bettered!
Nobody ever mentions Public Enemy in the GOAT discussions! They have longevity, great lyrics, amazing songs and albums. They were so badass late 80’s and early 90’s before WuTang took over and copied the logotype thing. I never understand why BIG and 2Pac always are too 10. Unfortunately they got bigger post life. Tupac actually made a 5 studio albums but BIG only 2 before he passed away.
Дуже крута пісня,слухав це в Україні 20 років тому.Подобається зараз також.
Prob the best rap ever made. And if you dont know him you can call him Mista Chuck D.
