Chuck D, Public Enemy Number One, bringing the noise with the one
0:11
the one and only ninth wonder of the entire hip-hop world. Allhipop.com, let's go
0:18
I'm not going to hold you just... Huh? You have license. Yo, you're a good, good person, man
0:27
You know, all hip-hop's been with you since they, We love, we respect you
0:32
But, you know, I'm looking at the response from people. They're saying you raised me
0:37
They're saying, you know, you shaped and molded my mind. With 50 years of hip hop, as a person, not like as a man, how does that make you feel
0:50
Well, I mean, it's beautiful. I mean, if you look at our culture, man, it's all over the earth
0:55
When do we seize the narrative? I mean, you know, when do we seize the narrative
0:59
When do we seize the narrative of what we create? I mean, that's been a struggle right throughout
1:04
You wholeheartedly have helped understand that seizing the narrative of what we create
1:10
is half of what it's all about. Right, right. 50 years. We're not exclusive
1:18
We're inclusive a lot. People, it's human beings. You know, the thing about culture
1:23
it brings human beings together and knocks differences to the side. Is it too inclusive
1:27
Would you say, is that possible? possible for us to be too inclusive? No because the world is divided up by governments plural We are you say The world is divided by governments plural So regardless of what people think it chopped up so much that you got to pay attention to the laws wherever you at
1:49
Right. It's not one people, one planet. It's chopped up, and we want to get to that
1:54
Yeah, yeah. We wanted to be a utopian vision. That's why I follow the three bobs
2:00
Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, and Bobby Womack. Okay, all right. 50 years
2:06
Love Buck Starksie when they say Bobba to Bob and Bob. 50 years moving forward
2:11
What should we do as a code? You know, I've been asking you to pride this question for 20 years now
2:17
I like to see hip-hop 51 really be like a synchronization of all the events around the world
2:26
We knew that this is ground zero. So that heavy concentration. We got a hip-hop mayor in New York
2:32
Matter of fact, I said a couple things on stage with him. the mayor's office understand that the free kid creole thing is real with me
2:39
Right, okay. Like, don't ask me about politically what we could do if this city, I think, railroaded somebody that we call our own
2:47
I mean, listen, hip-hop pioneer, rock and roll hall of famer. It's not here today
2:54
We understand people got to abide and pay attention to the law. But I think in his case, he was railroad
3:01
He's a man, the number one, he's got to work at midnight. He walks onto the train to go home, back to the Bronx, and he's accosted on the corner
3:11
Not to say that the end result of somebody losing their life or something to relish over about gleefully But in the dark New York City streets Chuck come on man Yeah of course What coming at you How many bodies were in the street those people coming at you
3:27
So there was just no case for him. And it's no excuse
3:31
As I'm hugging Grandmaster Flash and Melly Mell and Scorp and Rahim and Kid Creos in jail just because people forgot. Yeah
3:40
We're here and, you know, I'm seeing the bomb squad. I'm seeing the S1Ws, Flavor Flavis here
3:49
What's going through your mind, as you've seen these, you know, he was a movement
3:54
It wasn't a group. It's all over the world because we've got people right now back here
3:59
that's flown from different continents and then out there from different parts of the world
4:05
I think out of our prime and at our peak, it was non-stop, go around the world and serve the world
4:11
but I think most of my obligations from 63 to 80 is a 17-year-old plan
4:19
or how I could orchestrate as much as I can behind the scenes and sleep in my own bed
4:26
I mean, listen, I saw more hotels than anybody. I really, and I've been everywhere, and it's a joy to go around the world
4:35
116 countries in the name of hip-hop. but I have a lot of joy looking and staying, you know, with them and home and my home bed
4:44
and still changing the world. I mean, look, you change the world and you change the world and you orchestrate from
4:50
a couple places and that's nice. So tell us what are you doing now
4:55
What do you have going on Outrunning flavor on stage Yo man you guys are 60 years old Like I mean you iced tea melly mel you guys are doing it
5:08
We got hard-ass songs too, so the message is like, either you do the songs or the songs do you, so you got to prep for it
5:15
Don't get too excited. A lot of times people see me and I'm almost going to sleep
5:19
before I going up there. I slow everything down, because I know when I go up there it's going to be full energy
5:24
energy. This ain't a tour, so you gotta rev yourself and prepare yourself even more, because
5:29
a tour you ramp yourself up. Right. A show, it's kind of all artificial. You gotta kind of
5:36
rev up, but you gotta be prepared, because you could get heard up there. Right. Last thing, I don't
5:42
have a shout out for all hip hop from you. So could you give us a shout out? Yeah, last thing
5:47
we started the world's first cultural app, bring the noise app.com. That's what I was trying to get out of you
5:53
for more. Yeah, yeah. I'm not good at promoting things that we do, but I've learned to get more
5:58
into it. Big up for, you know, how you brought Tim Miner go along and great and really
6:05
appreciative of that we got co-aligning companies that understand the service of contributors
6:10
are important. And my thing is just trying to figure out how do we get into the software
6:16
world. I mean, I got into it because I want to have my own avenues instead of begging somebody
6:22
to figure out how to get our difficult music out there. Right, right
6:28
No, absolutely. I mean, at some point, we have to sit down and do a real..
6:33
You do a all-hip-hop round table. Yes, let's do that. Let's do that
