“If you don’t know your past, then you don’t know your future.” For any reason at all, if you don’t know much about Chuck D and Public Enemy, then you are truly missing out.

Without question, Public Enemy has some of the most important, groundbreaking and critically acclaimed releases in all of music history. Chuck D is also a national best-selling author, speaker and public figure who is respected all across the world for his challenging and powerful messages. Point blank, Chuck D is an icon.

We pick up right where we left off with Part Two of “Chuck D: The Intellectual Vietnam” series by Jonathan Hay and DJ Atlas Jenkins. An interview series exclusive to the one and only Dubcnn.

Oh yea...  we have one more part coming...    -saving the best for last!

thanks for part 2 

speaking of instrumentals, i don't really feel most of Public Enemy's stuff, imo they're monotone. including speeches is dope though! 

Rebirth of a nation is their best album to me, as it brought the best of both worlds.

i disagree with Chuck, that having one voice on a whole album makes it boring: i think it really depends on the artist, but including speeches and such can make records stronger.


anyway, looking forward to part 3: i don't mind going back, but hopefully you also went through the more recent years

It's very cool you mention 'Rebirth of a Nation" as their best, as most people say either "It Takes A Nation" or "Fear of A Black Planet" as the fav PE albums.  We talked to Chuck about past, present and future no doubt.  Thanks for the feeback...

"However, you can predict the idea and you can kind of predict the outcome, you just can’t predict the journey." Chuck D  That's the wisdom in PE

and it usually gets moved to the right spot but you're Chief this is Dubcnn's forum.

You wouldn't say that Chuck D is west coast relevant? I mean, think about his fingerprints on Amerikkka's Most Wanted with Ice Cube, Sir Jinx and The Bomb Squad.  What about, "Burn Hollywood Burn" with Ice Cube and Big Daddy Kane from Fear of a Black Planet?

A lot of people don’t realize that Chuck D (as Carl Ridenhour, also known as Carl Ryder) was a producer in The Bomb Squad, which he breaks down in these interviews.  Public Enemy transcends any “east coast – west coast” label - - as they were a pioneer for all of hip-hop culture worldwide.

Haven't had a chance to read this 2nd part yet but I'm certainly looking forward to doing so.  Chuck is the man.  Props to DubCNN for these types of interviews with straight up LEGENDS.
