What is Public Enemy?
1.
The only artists of the "hip-hop generation" who actually took the time to write something social. The thinking man's rap. Controversial rappers who on their worst day is 5000 times better than anyone else that every tried to rhyme a couple of lines.
2.
Public Enemy was the sign that hip-hop had exploded like a grenade. A rap group as abrasive, hardcore, and eloquent as a JFK speech, their music was one classic track after another: tense, multilayered, harmonically wild music. Chuck D declaims like a master preacher with foil Flavor Flav's voice darting around his. They've got the desperate energy of people fighting for their lives, and everything from their pumped-up rhetoric to the group's quasi-paramilitary organization to the sirens and sax squeals in nearly every track declares how urgent their mission is.
GL 5000: "Yo, put in some old school."
KY: "How bout some PE?"
GL 5000: "Now you're talkin..."

3.
Along with Run DMC, rap minus the pretentious 'gangsta' schtick. Therefore, rap was it should be.
Before the NWA and the fall of rap, there was the Public Enemy and all was well.
4.
A great rap group that once were produced by the famous Bomb Squad.
"Fear of a black Planet, huh? Yes, even almost 15 years later..."
5.
The first political rap group. In the early days worked with the Bomb Squad and also worked with them on 'Revolverlution'.
"I guess 9-11 ain't no joke"
6.
A crazy buncha nigs who know can string rhymes together better than anyone!
Man, Public Enemy is really a talented bunch. Especially because
Flava Flav wears a GIANT FUCKING CLOCK.
7.
they were the hardest, heaviest hip-hop until ganksta rap cam along and messed them up.
Public Enemy:
Uh, your bad self
Help me break this down from off the shelf
Here's a music servin' you so use it
Papa's got a brand new funk
Get down (party for your right)
Huh, let's get it on
Like we said before
They say the brothers causin' trouble
Hate to bust their bubble
'Cause we rumble
From our lower level
To condition your condition
(We're gonna do a song)
That you never heard before
Make you all jump along to the education
Brothers gonna work it out
And stop chasin'
Brothers, brothers gonna work it out
You got it...what it takes
Go get it...where you want it?
Come get it...get involved
'Cause the brothers in the street
are willing to work it out
