"Public Enemy Number Won" worked better than I thought it would when I read it was a remake of "Public Enemy #1". Chuck's last verse sounded like he was back in his prime. Didn't know he could still bring it like that.

Run floated on that as well. Was disappointed the Beasties didn't have a proper verse though.

It's a real shame Public Enemy doesn't get the respect they deserve.

oh they get a whole lot of respect but from the older rock crowd. I've been to their shows. I was the only one of a handful of Black people :mjpls:

old acts period don't get the respect they deserve from within the culture.

Hip hop legends get more respect overseas than in the US. It's sad.

I remember being in high school and it was standard for people to write the logos or names of their favorite bands on their notebooks. This is the early 2000s and kids were writing Led Zeppelin, The Smiths, Jimi Hendrix, etc on their notebooks. There's a lot more reverence and respect for rock legends. I get that part of it is because if you're a kid learning how to play instruments you're inevitably going to learn a Beatles song or something, which doesn't happen with rap. But man...kids even had Kraftwerk on their notebooks.

At this point I just don't believe rap legends will ever be respected.

Would have listened to Paros more over the years if his production was better. Has he always sounded like one of the Eastsidaz though? I know he’s also from California, but I thought that was pretty noticeable

they respect Eminem. and even the Beasties had a viral video recently using inter galactic. It's how music is played in households. age doesn't make shyt wack in white households...

I hear Eminem everyday on pop radio like there was no other rapper ever and they are playing shyt from his first 3 albums on constant rotation with pop and rock.

That's why LL Cool J is doing rock the bells radio. He wants to change this narrative about old heads.
