Public Enemy - By The Time I Get To Arizona

[PhonZhi]

I hate it when they throw up the for chuck d. this song is still tough. i wish someone as mainstream today as PE was then would release a song half this good.

Had this white boy ready to "Fight The Power" back in the day... Hip hop taught me so much as a kid, shame today's music won't do the same for this next generation.

Positive music that could uplift and motivate isn't allowed in the mainstream BY DESIGN.

Exhibit A:

PE seriously changed my life.

They don't want this^^^^

This is why they push the leaned out, coked out Futures, Young Thugs and 21 Savages

Music like this isn't ALLOWED today.

There's no reason why a song like this




fresh off Common's new album isn't getting mainstream radio play right now. It even has 2 "street" rappers on it so you can't say that it doesn't fit today's radio format. Its BY DESIGN that positive music gets little to no play today

Many moons ago you would hear shyt like this getting play on the radio in the mix, right along with the gangsta/party shyt......Many moons though bruh.

Facts. And they got the best excuse on the planet with "its just entertainment", to refuse criticism of any kind.

Yep, people want to erase PE from history, but I ain't gonna let it happen.

Chuck had that boomin voice. Great message, excellent beats and the illest image

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

that beat switch @ 3:32
classic track
perfect for mlk day

when I first heard that on my walkman back in 91. GODDAMN!!!! I thought why couldn't the whole beat be that breakdown.. The main beat is cool too. 20+ years later when I found out where it came from...
