better late than never!! 
Chuck D has such an authoritarian voice, back in the day i just knew he'd play a key role in some type of movement. obviously, that movement or revolution never happened on a large scale, but he did motivate and educate a lot of listeners. Well, i should take that back, he they did revolutionize hip-hop and black culture in various different ways. My bad. I was just thinking that he'd have his own nation by now.  | |

And he still is educating beyond rap. Did you see the segment he was involved in on Chess Records as part of the The Blues documentary on PBS? http://www.pbs.org/theblu...rview.html tA France countdown - T-Minus 5 days and counting.

I would've love to have seen it! More than likely PBS will rerun it a couple of times. Were the things he said about Chess records, positive? Just wonderin'. Chess records use to own a radio station in the city i live in, i thought that was an excellent idea, though i'm sure the playlist was biased. But if it was on the Chess label, i'm sure it was good stuff.

100% positive. I hadn't realized that Chuck D is a musicologist and historian, and that he also has a tremendous interest in finding these parallels. There was also the indie record-label connection: Chess was an indie record label, and hip-hop and rap were born out of a new generation of indie record labels, which were also built on a new technology, a digital technology. So the basic similarity is that every generation tries to find what you would call that street, raw, real sound. That's what the Chicago blues had. Marshall called me one day and said, "You're not going to believe this, but I just got an e-mail from Chuck D. He read Spinning Blues Into Gold, the book on the Chess family that Nadine Cohodas wrote, which is a great book. Chuck D said, 'It was Electric Mud' — Muddy Waters' blues-rock album produced in 1968 by Marshall — 'that got me into this. I hear you're going to do this film trying to connect the blues and hip-hop, and I'm down.'" This was literally an act of fate, and it became the inciting incident in Godfathers and Sons. ~Marc Levin (Director) Godfathers and Sons (The Blues) tA France countdown - T-Minus 5 days and counting.

we need more chuck d's and public enemys in hip hop well in music in general but nobody can perfect what they did for music. I'm looking forward to picking up their new album. "Burn Hollywood Burn" is crazy. Damn I love Public Enemy. wwww.myspace.com/chessvalentine | |

Along with It Take A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back, these 2 are classics. | |

an an essential album for hip hop. | |

While to me FOABP is not as important or as "great" overall as Nation of Millions, its revolutionary, urgent message of love, unity and justice is unparalleled for a hip-hop album. On top of being a hot record, its a message record in the tradition of Gil Scott-Heron. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

I think FOABP was Bomb Squad's finest production of all-time!!!
The entire album sequence is just impeccable. 
One of my favorite moments is the "Think" cut-and-paste interlude (it occurs at 03:52 on the end of track 7 "Pollywanacraka")! | |
