Public Enemy‘s Bboy Music is far-ranging and includes countless tracks from over the years of Hip-hop, from one of the most creative and often polarizing groups. With the iconic Chuck D and Flavor Flav, plus Professor Griff, DJ Lord, and Terminator X, this crew created some of the most memorable beats, songs, and samples in Hip-hop.
Here’s one example of the Public Enemy Bboy flava “Can’t Do Nuttin For Ya Man”:
Caps off to Public Enemy for their induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this week, and much success in the future.
Public Enemy rocked the house at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction ceremony, according to MTV:
One of the night’s longest speeches, though, was from eccentric Public Enemy hypeman Flavor Flav, who ended with a salute to the rap group’s leader, Chuck D. “I want to thank you for making great records,” he said. “You’ve been the motor.” Spike Lee, wearing a Mookie’s Pizza shirt from his “Do The Right Thing” film, which used their “Fight The Power” as a centerpiece of the movie, helped induct the band. Chuck D summed it up more succinctly after Flav’s ramble, telling the crowd, “We all come from the damn blues. Let’s not get it twisted. We studied the forms of music in DJ culture … we’ve always known and paid respect to where music comes from.” In keeping with that message, PE threw in samples of songs by inductees Donna Summer, Rush and Quincy Jones into their set, which included the legendary tracks “Fight The Power ” and “Bring the Noise.”
Keep up with these fellows @MrChuckD, @FlavorFlav, @RealProfGriff, and peep the Public Enemy website!
