PUBLIC ENEMY - Say It Like It Really Is

The World Needs PUBLIC ENEMY Now More Than Ever

It is the opinion of -FUPPETS- that what the world needs now is a mainline hypodermic full of PUBLIC ENEMY. What happened to outraged intelligent music? Oh yeah. . . the fuckers bought into the "fame" life-path, and therefore ended up singing about superfluous bullshit like how much money they think they have, how much money they think they spend, how many women they can pay to fuck them, how many ridiculously over-priced automobiles they can reference in a single verse. NONE OF THIS BULLSHIT MATTERS. None of it.
Chuck D once wrote some advice to any up-and-coming rappers out there. He said something to the effect that you must keep on learning new things, studying, reading, learning history, science, art, literature, because a mind that stops learning is a stagnant mind, and only stagnant rhymes will flow from a stagnant mind.
I think that not too many people took that advice to heart. It applies in rhyme as well as in life. Your brain is only as strong as what you put in it, and only as powerful as what you do with it. Mindless drivel over bullshit beats is the quick path to being easily forgotten.

-FUPPETS- Needs Some PUBLIC ENEMY

After the horrendously embarrassing performance by the mediocre Houston Texans last night in their first ever Monday Night Football home game, -FUPPETS- needs to get AMPED UP. It's time for the hard rhymer.

-FUPPETS- Video Spotlight - PUBLIC ENEMY

PUBLIC ENEMY. It is a shame that they did their thing so well that others seemed to avoid being this militant. The greatest hip hop group ever. There is no other and most hip hop legends will tell you this very same thing.

FIGHT THE POWER

SHUT 'EM DOWN

AWESOME ROCK WIN

The Philly homeboys The Roots will be holding their now-annual ROOTS PICNIC on June 6 at Festival Pier in Philadelphia.

The band will play two sets at the festival, opening and closing the festival. And as Billboard reports, along with Antibalas, they will also back Public Enemy-- another one of the greatest live rap groups ever-- as they do their masterpiece It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back in its entirety. - ( Pitchfork )

-FUPPETS- loves some Public Enemy and some Roots and it would be an insane show to catch, to hear the entirety of IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK performed with the Roots kicking out the jams. There is no way to know how they will recreate the cacophony and insane skronk squalor, sirens and all, of the P.E. masterpiece. -FUPPETS- hopes someone records this thing!

The second Video Of The Day is from the Instigational Masters, Public Enemy. (This one song alone is harder, smarter, wiser, heavier, rougher, and all around BETTER than anything the preppy-ass Kanye, pussy-fuck Jay Z, and ridiculous buffon Lil' Wayne and all those other boring motherfuckers will EVER put out.

IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK - 20th Anniversary

-FUPPETS- loves to endorse sonic revolution. In 1988, a group from NYC decided that, on their second album, they would re-write the rules for making groundbreaking, incendiary, propulsive, politically-charged, chaotic music. PUBLIC ENEMY created IT TAKES A NATION OF MILLIONS TO HOLD US BACK.

This album was unlike anything previously heard before. It truly opened up a new can of sonic worms, and set a standard for musical sampling innovation that will never be equalled, mainly due to the extremely reactionary and constricting copyright laws put into effect after this album's release. The Bomb Squad would use countless small samples, tweak them, change them, layer dozens of them, into sonic skronk fantasticity. Each one of those tiny un-recognizable samples would cost them thousands today and would be very cost-prohibitive. What a fucking capitalist world we live in. FIGHT THE POWER. Long live free artistic expression, especially when coupled with political rage.

Pitchfork, that polarizing purveyor of performance pulchritude, understands the importance of this album and has done a 4 part interview with the people who made this happen. Click here to reach those videos.
