"No tricks in '86, it's time to build"

87 changed Hip Hop forever BDP- Criminal Minded and Eric B and Rakim- Paid and Full

Chuck D, Public Enemy, also changed Hip Hop

KRS 1 and Rakim commentary begins at 9:08

"From a rebel it's final on black vinyl. Soul, rock 'n roll coming like a rhino..."

Happy Birthday Flavor Flav. March 16th yeah boiiii!!!!!!

We need a Public Enemy biopic after hearing these little stories.. I know there's more

errrrbody of age should send the youth of our community to this channel

Peace to the gods.....

Chuck D is a true God. I'm so blessed to have grew up during this time

His song State of the Union ft. Flavor Flav is great!!!!

If Rakim and KRS-One changed the game lyrically in 1987, Public Enemy updated their style and was right there with 'em when 'Rebel Without A Pause' dropped in the summer. Chuck D was a top 5 emcee, even tho he was more of topic based lyricist. Undeniable that after that one song, almost everyone had to have that say a word/series of words ("Yes"), a brief pause ("... "), finish the line ("the rhythm, the rebel... ") shit in their rap. Big Daddy Kane: "Here I am:... R-A-W... ". Ultramagnetic M.C.'s/Kool Keith: "Well, I'm the ultimate,.... the rhyme imperial... ". LL Cool J: "Milky,... and I'm back... " Tuff Crew: "Rock on... " and so on... - very influential for a few years. Also influential was that Bomb Squad production on 'RWAP'. Marley Marl might've kinda started it with 'The Bridge', having that horn in the background, but PE having that James Brown horn sample in 'RWAP' took shit to a whole new level. Again, for the next 3-4 years, damn near every hot rap song had to have some kind of noise in the background. I didn't even mention how Chuck D brought consciousness to Hip-Hop. Public Enemy most definitely also changed the game.

You did TOO, God

Chuck..KRS and Rakim are 3 of my favorite emcee's of all time.

this channel is GREAT

My favorite MC of all time. Glad you have him on your show. Yes there should be a biopic done on PE. Let Ice Cube direct it.

Peace 2 the GODS...👍😎🙏

Big Dandy Kane too

85-92 is the golden age of Hip Hop
