I don't give a fukk. Just funny seeing these muthfukres fix they faces as authorities and touting what "they've" done for the culture by spinning certain artists. He really feeling himself to tell Chuck D to calm down. That's all I'm talking about bro. Muffukkas shouldn't allow him and empower him to even feel like he can speak. And to someone who put it on the line when it wasn't popular. All I'm saying.
I know for a fact Chuck far from broke lol. Even Harder Than You Think was like the paralympics songs lmao, they must be eating off that along with a lot of other shyt.
Use in media[edit]
The song was featured in Eric Koston's segment in the 2007 skateboarding video "Fully Flared". The song and its beat were used by ESPN for the 2011 Big East Men's Basketball Tournament. The song is also featured on the soundtrack of the video game Skate 2. The song was later featured heavily in a Fall K-Mart ad as of September 2011. It is also one of the lead songs in the commercials for ESPN's broadcasting of the Winter X Games. The song featured prominently towards the end of the BBC Four 2011 documentary "Public Enemy: Prophets Of Rage" which was screened as the fourth episode of the channel's "Black Music Legends Of The 1980s" series. It also appeared in the trailer for the 2012 film Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap and was also the only track to feature on its soundtrack album which did not appear in the actual film. The song is also featured at the opening of the 2012 film End of Watch.
The song featured in the New Year's Day 2013 celebrations in London.
The song features in the opening sequence of the danish TV show Monte Carlo elsker USA (Monte Carlo loves USA) (2014).
The song has appeared on MLB Network in promos through the course of the 2014 pre- and regular MLB season.
2012 Summer Paralympics[edit]
In the United Kingdom, it was used as the soundtrack in both the 90 second long trailer for,[5][6] and as the theme tune to Channel 4's coverage of the 2012 Summer Paralympics.[7] The song subsequently experienced a surge in sales, peaking at number 4 - becoming Public Enemy's first Top 10 single in the UK and their highest-charting single ever in the nation. A review for The Independent said of its re-release in the UK: "Following its prominent use in Channel 4's Paralympics coverage, great lost 2007 single 'Harder Than You Think' had a sales surge that carried it into the UK Top Five, giving the band their biggest hit to date. It'd be a thrilling piece of work in any era, Chuck delivering a typically apocalyptic call to arms over a backing track which uses a horn sample from Shirley Bassey's 'Jezahel', but to hear it blasting from the radio in the second decade of this century is beyond beautiful."[8] The song also serves as the theme tune to the British TV show The Last Leg, which was originally a show that ran alongside the 2012 Paralympics, but later spun off as an independent show.
The song was also used as the theme tune to Channel 4's coverage of the 2014 Winter Paralympics in Sochi, Russia.

Yeah Chuck doesn't come off like a guy who is frivolous with his finances.
stop that, bro...chuck D is not broke.
Yeah, they could eat good off merely royalties and licensing. Not to mention they have released more albums, some of which I bought and really enjoyed.
Read what I posted, if you know how licensing works, you'll see there more than good, That's just for one song bare in mind...

he should go on Hot97 and promote it...I never heard of it...and its never spoke of on here.he actually has a website, that himself and other artists do articles, and podcast on.. forgot the name of it, but was asked to do some work for it few years ago..
matter of fact, he just took a bunch of them on a tour recently..
lol you're right in many cases, but chuck has had his hand in a lot of other things outside of his original record deal, they're in the rock n roll hall of fame, etc.
with everything they talked about on their earliest songs, you would think/hope that they were a lil' smart about their rights dating back to their first deal...but who knows.
Chuck has done very well financialy..along with paid speaking engagements
Chuck got in the real estate game..early

I know how it works, but who exactly would they be granting those rights to? Who is requesting them? Old school hip hop radio stations? And does chuck possess the entire rights on his own? Or is it split between the entire crew?
