bigted Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.hiphopsite.com/?I=1 Chuck D of PUBLIC ENEMY fame has been a staunch supporter of downloading music on the internet ever since the birth of Napster, going as far as offering free downloads of his own material. It looks like that attitude might have come back to haunt him though as the Public Enemy record, Rebirth Of A Nation, which was scheduled to drop AUG 23rd, has now been reportedly pushed back to at least JAN 2006. Guess what it was due to? Though the official excuse from Guerilla Funk Records was that Public Enemy is promoting a similar record in the fall causing a conflict of interests, Rebirth has gone through some heavy bootlegging issues. Stay tuend for more, but if the album is to be pushed back, look for PE to respond with a whole new album next year.-- Chris Yuscavage hiphopsite.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerkot Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Well yeah... due to downloading? Am I the only one who thinks Internet will still be alive in januari 06? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vipa Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Unless they're going the change the album, the smart thing to do is push it up, to beat the downloaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted July 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) The music industry's at a sad state right now, I hope it comes out eventually, well in the meantime I'll have to buy other PE albums to hold me over, I might save for the PE box set that's gonna be released on Def Jam in '07 to commerate 20 years in hip-hop, and there's some PE concert DVDs that came out recently too that I didn't get a chance to check out.
