BUSTA ALWAYS BRINGS IT

that's SICK, it makes me reminisce to the "Human Video Game" track from the "He's The DJ, I'm The Rapper" album, imagine Will doing a rap over that!!

I texted Dayne Jordan and liked him on facebook a few weeks ago, i'll do the same for ferno now

where's all the other so called 'real' heads on the forum? it breaks my heart knowing there's not too many real artists and fans backing chuck d here, if those 1 million people who complain how wack lil' wayne is bought public enemy's recent albums then we'd be in a better place in hip hop, a lot of people talking loud but saying NOTHING

thanks, i've been watching this on BET, this is their best work in quite awhile

How could you call this straight up garbage, Ice-T's one of the rare real EMCEEs left, the OG blows the gangsta wannabes like Young Jeezy and Lil' Wayne away, now they're the ones making garbage

yep i was listening to summertime 3 on my mp3 player too the other day, CAN'T WAIT

their album just released: http://hiphopgods.rapstation.com/news/body.count.manslaughter

Dayne Jordan "Room Test"

youtube does have some family affair songs, i heard "big man" "set me free" "he brought me out" music video for that song:

heaven to my ears, i could picture a remix with will rapping over this track!

I finally found the "Too Tight" album on youtube a few months back after looking years for it, if it had the proper release back then I believe more people would be Hammer props, it's really dope, underappreciated gem! Spotify got V:Inside Out so I was able to hear that as well, I'm still looking for Family Affair, maybe you could help me AJ

wow this is REAL as it gets

chuck d and public enemy are still active in 2014 touring the world with sell out shows and they released 2 albums in 2012 with critical acclaim, for those idiots to question what he's doing for hip hop culture is absurd, in his 50s he could still outperform sucka mcs in their 20s since he's an emcee master, you could say that chuck d never liked radio but don't question his contribution to the game, i like that mistachuck's on the internet voicing his opinion and putting these clowns in their place, while suckas waste time promoting garbage he keeps putting some substance for all real heads to relate to...

hold on there's a difference between when ice cube uses the n word and most of today's ignorant rappers use it, ice cube puts substance in his songs, back in the 80s and 90s during the golden era of hip hop most rappers stood for something, today rappers stand for nothing that's why i'm happy that's why i'm happy that chuck d's still around fighting the power, the only hip hop station these days i listen to is the siriusxm backspin where they play all the quality old school stuff, i don't listen to so called black radio anymore, it's like will said on "i wish i made that": "black radio, they don't play me though ever since summertime they don't play none of mine even though the fans went out and bought enough i guess they think will ain't hard enough maybe i should just have a shootout get into a bank bust grabbing all the loot out whoop somebody's ass kicking my boot out right on tv so y'all see me(back up) just ignorant, attackin', actin' rough then will i be black enough? oh wait maybe i'll jack a truck full of cigarettes, guns, drugs and stuff"

"That **** is over," Chuck says of the liberal use of the n-word at Hot 97's Summer Jam. "If there was a festival and it was filled with anti-Semitic slurs... or racial slurs at anyone but black people, what do you think would happen?" Chuck D wants Urban radio to "get it right or be gone" -- and he's not just talking about Hot 97 in New York. The Public Enemy co-founder has been in a Twitter war of words with the Hot 97 team since the station's Summer Jam concert on June 1, when he derided "what a sloppy fiasco (the station) has made of Hip-Hop." Reached by Billboard backstage before the group's Parklife Weekender festival appearance Sunday in Manchester, England, D said his unhappiness about the Summer Jam -- particularly over the prolific use of the N-word and a line-up D felt did not adequately represent the New York hip-hop community -- was "the last straw" in a general dissatisfaction over the state of rap and radio stations that play and brand themselves with the music. "My goal by year's end is to change the face and sound of urban radio," D promised. "I've been in this **** 30 years, too long to just sit and let it be. I'm not going to be the grim reaper. I don't want to be the grim reaper. But people have to stand up and we need some change, and it's time." Hot 97 Co-Hosts Respond to Chuck D’s Harsh Criticism of Summer Jam Chuck D Blasts Hot 97’s Summer Jam As ‘Sloppy Fiasco’ Of Hip Hop Culture Hot 97's 2014 Summer Jam: Photos from the Show This year's Hot 97 Summer Jam featured performances by Nas, 50 Cent, Childish Gambino, Iggy Azalea, the Roots, Nick Minaj, Wiz Khalifa and many more. D says he was particularly disturbed that the use of the N-word was so readily tolerated by the station and festival organizers. "That **** is over," he noted. "If there was a festival and it was filled with anti-Semitic slurs... or racial slurs at anyone but black people, what do you think would happen? Why does there have to be such a double standard?" Citing the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival as an example, D added that he felt it would be proper to include a contract clause for performers "to at least be civil in the presentation of the art form they've been granted with." And though he said that he's "not trying to be a moral compass," D added that he also feels it's time for record labels to also consider clauses "saying you can't be derogatory to the community you can from" in contracts with their artists. D said he was also disappointed that the Summer Jam lineup did not include enough local artists, especially for a radio station from the birthplace of rap and hip-hop culture. "It's just a sloppy presentation of the art form, the worst presentation known to man," D explained. "It's negligent. There needs to be a greater representation of the culture and the community on that radio station." Broadening the discussion to the state of Urban radio in general, D said that, "When people say the word Urban, they don't know what that means. When they say urban music, they mean playing black artists -- and artists outside the community. It should be a representation of playing music by a lot of different artists -- non-black artists, too. I just want to see artists be able to have fair game." Though D labeled comments that Hot 97 personalities Ebro Darden and Peter Rosenberg made to Billboard in response to his criticisms "a bunch of hogwash," the MC said his argument is less with them and more with station ownership. "It's about their bosses," D said. "That's where the discussion needs to go." But D said he doesn't require a direct role in that discussion for himself. "Why would I sit down with them? I don't have time for that. I don't have to show 'em ****; they're grown people. I ain't wasting my time. Let them sit down with the community and the artists. They'll tell 'em. I'll watch from afar. But they better get it right or we'll destroy the platform of Urban radio across the country." D did, however, say he'd continue to monitor and speak out about the situation, mostly via written commentary and via his Rapstation.com site and radio station, as well as other outlets.

this is a different look and sound for them but it's still refreshing to see them back again: http://youtu.be/vImW3fkoAB4
