A little bit of hip hop history which some of you might know, Hip Hop has a strong Jamaican roots, it was originally started by Jamaican born DJ Kool Herc in the early 1970 and it is widely accepted as the origin of the culture where Herc would mix samples of existing records with his own shouts to the crowd and dancers. Kool Herc is credited as the "father" of the music form and introduced New York to the the concept of toasting an art form of the 60s and 70s done by reggae pioneers such as U-Roy or King Stitt who would toast or "rap" to the version side of popular records on the sound systems of the time in Jamaica.
Say it isn't so, Flavor Flav , the world greatest hype man and star of VH1's "Flavor of Love" Parts 1 and 2 being arrested..........nooooo. We heard the news and wondered to ourselves isn't he married since when did he get a fiancee, anyways lets not get bogged down with the antics of Flavor Flav domestic problems and rather look to the musical exploits of Public Enemy, arguably the most prolific, political controversial and conscious rap group ever.
Almost 20 years deep in the rap game they continue to put out good music, although no longer on the iconic Def Jam label Flavour Flav and Chuck D stil have the musical chemistry highlighted in their latest release "Harder than you Think" .In the United Kingdom, Channel 4 used the song for its advertisements for its TV coverage of the 2012 Summer Paralympics
First there is the official video not a big budget video but still giving
the visual that makes PE so popular the sober consciousness of Chuck D
balanced withe comedic hype but yet musical stylings of Flavor
Flav.....maaahd respect.
Just enough to recapture the back and forth flow that is quintessentially Public Enemy.
Next check out this version with the lyrics so you can appreciate the complexity, creativeness and conscious knowledge and poetry of the rap....maaaahd.
