Public Enemy fans - give it up, give it up, give it up, yo!

Public Enemy fans - what's your favorite song? I won't make this a poll, because that's kind of useless.

"Give It Up" is mine.

16. Have you noticed that Paris riffs off that one in 'What Would You Do?'

Here's the beginning of Black Steel:

I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me given' a damn I said never

Here's What would you do?

I see a message from the government, like every day
I watch it, and listen, and call 'em all suckas
They warnin' me about Osama or whatever
Picture me buyin' this scam I said "never"

Cool, eh?

:)

As for my favorite PE song, All of them mentioned so far are on my regular playlist, plus "She Watch Channel Zero", "Burn Hollywood Burn!", "He Got Game", and "Terminator X" (though that one doesn't have many lyrics).

19. I saw Flav in Roscoes Chicken n' Waffles-Hollywd, in Aug. ask me anything

Honest. I felt like a giddy school girl. He even had a clock around his neck (honest) only it was the wrong time... which I found quite disturbing. He was on his cell phone while he woofed his meal down... He got treated like royalty.

I LOVE P.E. Sure they had better days.... but their best shit holds up and their live show was wild w/ those storm trooper dudes.

Chuck D.... I see him on TV as a media guest every once in a while....He is a cool, articualte, cat, cynical but not jaded, comfortable in his own skin,....

Flave..... I dont know whats up with him though I love him.... 911 is a joke is aweseome. So is I CANT DO NUTHIN FOR YOU MAN.

Their album "Fear of a Black Planet", IMHO, is their best.
